About This Track

Kjartan Sveinsson had this to say about Heysátan, the final track of 2005’s Takk…:

“With Heysátan my idea of it after we wrote it, was that there was an old man looking over his field, a big view over the sea or something, and he is dying. He is going to die. He is just lying on the grass, and he is going to die, but that is fine because he has had a good life. He is quite happy dying, actually. And that is what the song is to me. It’s kind of that emotion.”

    NefariousBanana is right. The start of this track and the start of Motion Picture Soundtrack, from 5 years earlier, are suspiciously similar.

    Sigur Ros is to music as celestial seasonings sleepy time is to tea and Calgon is to bubble bath.

    In tears when finishing this album. These guys make what is possibly the most beautiful music I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. :')

    Does the beginning of this song remind anyone else of "Motion Picture Soundtrack" by Radiohead?

    actually i'm a bit sad this one from takk... is so high at the chart (well as if it actually mattered anyways;)) but it's simply not so special a track as almost everything else on takk... , it makes logic that after all those big tracks icluding the marvellous "svo hljótt" it goes quiet, though. still, I thought that if the album had closed with jónsi's "hengilás" instead...!
