Sigur
Before I begin, sad news last night was that 80’s TV legend Jeremy Beadle has died, it’s like a bit of my childhood dying…Rest in Peace…watch out heaven Beadle’s About!
This week at college during our worship at the chapel on Monday evening we had a time of lying or sitting and just simply turning off all of our distractions and focusing on God. In my case I spent probably half the time trying so hard to turn off the distractions but maybe that’s just me! But anyway to aide us in our thinking or whatever we listened to some music and we listened to a song (I don’t know which one) by a band called Sigur Rós and well it’s amazing!
When I got back into the office on Wednesday morning I went onto YouTube and listened to loads of their music for hours on end, it’s just so beautiful, it is sung in a language called Hopelandic and this language is basically gibberish, it means nothing. But yet in a language that means nothing there is such a haunting importance to what is being sung. I know Mark has been a fan for absolutely ages (he’s always into great stuff before me, case in point - Christianity) but thanks to my good buddy Tom for fully introducing them to me and recommending them so highly and for coining the term “it’s the beautiful art of noise”. Well I think it was him anyway!
