  • In the summer of 2006, Sigur Rós ended his one-year world tour and decided to return to his hometown of Iceland. The movie came from this, they named it "Heima", which means "go home". The vocals of the lead singer are very similar to Nordic folk songs, and the instruments used for percussion are based on the rubble of the mountains. Behind the strong national characteristics is the attitude towards music: not for fame and fortune, low-key and the sacred feeling when creating.

      Sigur Rós "Heima"

      I never knew this band, but at that time I was attracted by the artistic conception of "Heima" (Chinese translation of "Listen to the Song of the Wind").
      In 2007, after a global tour, Sigur Rós returned to Iceland. They brought Icelandic music back to Iceland in highlands, plains, small cafes, social shelters, caves, popular assembly parties, abandoned factories, fishing boats, houses, small courtyards...
      Icelandic Iceland, in my mind, is a piece of ice and snow, a lot of icebergs and...

      ice music

      It's rare to see such a beautiful documentary recently, and Heima is well worth spending more than an hour on it.

      Without these images, I might not be able to finish listening to this more than an hour of music. But in the landscape, everything becomes clear.

      Through the band's performance in my hometown, I took a look at every city in Iceland by the way.

      The photographer can capture every place so beautifully, it can be said that the documentary is a MV, about...

      Heima--Live quietly and let music follow your heart

      "Happiness is Free" is the name of Huang Weiwen's concert based on He Yunshi's music project. Before He Yunshi, would there be singers and record companies holding concerts for no compensation? It is very difficult to make music in the commercial society of Hong Kong. , not to mention Post-Rock, indie music and more. In recent years, talent shows organized by TV stations have been held season after season. While advertising the ideal of music, how many are commercial links. Concerts are made of...

      Listen to the song of the wind~You will be shocked~

      If you are not a native Icelander, then this movie is probably the best gift the director gave to all of us who like to travel, like music, and like peace! The emptiness and desolation, the purity is so shocking. . .
        Jonis: "The more we travel, the more you appreciate the world." In the
         movie, almost every scene, if frozen, can be called an excellent artwork~~~
         Floating clouds, still ground, time The hidden sunshine, and the ethereal, pure and natural singing~~ So enjoy....

      Praise from the heart

      I watched the documentary a long time ago, and what I still remember is the sky at dusk, with the children playing by the sea next to Xu Xia, that scene. Incredibly pure and beautiful. I suddenly felt that SigurRos didn't seem to be singing about loneliness, at least I thought so at first, they were actually expressing and celebrating their hometown with their songs. When the first ray of sunshine in Iceland rises, Dongxi is driving. Icelanders enjoy life comfortably, that kind of...

    Movie quotes

    • Band member: It's kind of a safe haven for us, Iceland. We are left on our own here.

    • Jon Thor Birgisson: I think Kjarri's grandmother, she went to the concert and thought it was really loud, and then heard it was on TV, too. Like, "It was on the TV! Let's go home! If it's on TV, let's go home and watch it on TV." Then it was the end of the last song and these crazy backdrops and stuff, like really intense. Then she thought something was wrong with her TV and shut it off. I think it's nice.
