Ólafur Arnalds performs live with his band from the volcanic wilderness of Iceland.
One of the comments on Youtube made me smile, because I can really relate to it:
While I was watching this, my boyfriend came home from work and told me "you're always listening to music that feels like I'm about to die." I laughed and realized that... yes. I do. This music makes me feel like I could die and it would still be okay. It makes me feel like I'm constantly trying to grasp the infinite wonder of this universe but I can never quite get there. It reminds me of how precious life on Earth really is. It makes me feel grief, awe, and hope, all at the same time.
It takes me to another world, which at the moment is probably not a bad thing. Atmospheric, other worldly and very soothing for a stressed out soul.
