Even though I cannot decipher a word of it, Sigur Rós' Svefn-G-Englar is one of the most beautiful and well-written songs in the history of beautiful and well-written songs. Every emotion imaginable is encapsulated within its nine minutes and fifteen seconds. It is in its final throes and pangs, however, that you come to the astonishing realization that what you've just heard is absolutely amazing in every way possible. It is as good as today's songwriting gets. Sigur Rós are certainly kings of expression. Sadly, I know nothing about them, nor do I own any of their albums. Just the Vanilla Sky soundtrack, which is pretty sweet in and of itself. Especially at four in the morning.

Peace.
