Hoppípolla (My Winter)

Posted on November 8, 2009October 26, 2015 By Doriano No Comments on Hoppípolla (My Winter)

Hoppípolla by Sigur Rós is a beautiful work of art. I first heard it today as the soundtrack to an amazing short film by Carlos Lascano called "A Short Love Story in Stop Motion". I did some searching and discovered that the title translates into “My Winter” and the lyrics describe the joys of youth.

Here’s the official music video which is also quite delightful as it depicts a group of elderly people up to no good. They run around doing mischievous pranks which reminds me of Cocoon (1985). It also smacked of one of my favorite Twilight Zones called “Kick the Can” which was about a bunch of old folks in a retirement home who want to be young again.

The music and the message is wonderful. I love when everything comes together in a symbiotic masterpiece of bliss and joy. Please enjoy the original music as well as the amazing work by Carlos in his memorable short film set to this music.

Hoppípolla (My Winter)

Jumpin’ Puddles
Smiling
Spinning ’round and ’round
Holding hands
The whole world a blur
But you are standing
Soaked
Completely drenched
No rubber boots
Running in us
Want to erupt from a shell
Wind in
And outdoor smell of your hair
I hit as fast as I could
With my nose
Hopping into puddles
Completely drenched
Soaked
With no boots on
And I get nosebleed
But I always get up
And I get nosebleed
But I always get up
