wasn't this the perfect end to a flawless concert? the other concert guests had no such hesitations. they wanted more. sigur ró s returned to the stage and played "hafsól", which first appeared on 1997's "von" but has now been released as a reworking on the "hoppípolla" single. the b-side to the "untitled #1" single followed, accompanied by an effective video backdrop of white birds on a black background, sitting on a wire. as the song floated on the birds came and went, resulting in a state of timelessness. the song closed with the birds and orri sitting alone on stage. orri played a simple but moving melody on electric piano. the crowd roared with applause when the song finished, scaring the birds away so that they flew off the wire in unison. the stage emptied until jónsi positioned himself in the front of the stage and thanked the crowd for their reactions – it was time for the last song, "untitled #8" from ( ). the beat transition in the middle of the song triggered the silkscreen to move over the stage and the enormous silhouettes of the band, which a moment ago seemed so friendly, suddenly towered over us menacingly. jónsi's shadow was most prominent, appearing to be alone on the stage. the lonely hopelandic reminded me of the cries of a wounded animal. when the madness took over and all the band members began to thrash the instruments violently, their shadows merged with indistinct and ominous images which appeared on the screen while powerful lights blinked randomly in all directions. the chaos was ultimate. the tones and images became unseperable in my mind and it all seemed like a wonderful nightmare which would never end. but it did end, with orri smashing his drum set, and sigur r ós had proved themselves to be one of the best bands in the world. but the climax of the concert had occurred much earlier, in "viðrar vel til loftárása". i have already mentioned the long silence before the line "við riðum heimsendi". though this was particularly sweet, nothing could have prepared me for the flood of emotions that came upon hearing jónsi singing the line "the best thing god has created is a new day". in one instant all the memories of my life appeared to me, just as is said to happen when we die. i saw a white light which was not of this world, all the muscles in my body contracted in one brief moment, and an indescribably blissful shiver ran through me when the muscles all relaxed at once. a tear fell down my right cheek and i had to tighten the grip on my significant other, sitting to my right. the person sitting to my left ran off shortly after this song and didn't come back. i imagine the song touched him so deeply that he realized he had made a mistake and decided to run down the stairs, into the embrace of his loved one. just like in the movies. except it's real. atli bollason, for morgunblaðið (http://www.mbl.is/ ) -- 「眼泪的存在，是为了证明悲伤不是一场幻觉。」 ～罗兰巴特《恋人絮语》 罗兰巴特提出理论，而我证实。 --
