During the weeks leading up to the death of my uncle, I was drawn to a song by Sigur Ros and would listen to it every time I left the hospital or needed a moment. The song is in Icelandic so I had no idea what the song was about, I simply liked it. It touched that special part of me and spoke to a hurt that I couldn't explain. Last night I randomly looked up the lyrics. I was touched. Yesterday would've been my Uncles birthday. A truly hard day. I love the power of music. I love the power of God to forgive me and heal my hurts.
Ilgressi Lyrics {Sigur Ros}
You sleep till noon
You died but came to life
The leaves change their colors
You ache- get up and dress
In a raincoat- you keep going into the bleak days
You tear out heart-roots that you stamp on
With you hands in your pockets, been through enough
Walking in wet grass until
It shines on me through the branches
I look up and revive- the leaves change their colors
We find our goals, put down roots
Undress our hearts
We go out into a good day
We plant and we give life and we blossom
With our hands out of the pockets in the earth you delve
Now we remove ugly thoughts
Time heals all, gives life, kindles fires
Flames of a soul
No longer cold, alive again
My soul comes to life, paints the world
