jónsi about takk- 28th july 2005

here is a quote from jónsi about takk, courtesy of nme: "it's a bit more happy, with a bit more hope in it. the lyrics are small adventures, maybe like children's stories or something. i think the songs are quite simple and naïve and they have a central character to them. there's one called glósóli, and he wakes up and everything is dark outside and he can't see any light. he thinks that the sun is gone and somebody has taken it from the sky, so he makes a journey to look for the sun. he finds it in the end."

 Every month i always search for something to look forward to, the way kind of making my life more interesting and hopeful, so i'm quite excited to expect the new sigur ros's album-takk. i don't know how long i have to wait to get it, but tha't ok, the process of expecting is a great pleasure! hahahahaha....
