    Sigur Ros Fan Video: Gong

    I was on the fence about this fan made music video for the track Gong by Sigur Ros until about halfway through. Then, I completely fell in love with it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Kudos to Eric Lerner for this awesome creation:

    Very cool. The colors and the music really bring this silent film to life. At one point it feels almost like your going into sensory over load with the protagonist. It all crescendos together at the end. The music, the colors, the movement of the actor in his space. Awesome...

    Wow. That was pretty amazing. I really was taken back by it. Thanks for sharing it. And I must say thanks for opening the door to even more music I doubt I could've become aware of as easily anywhere else.

    Holy moses. Truly one of the best videos to come out in I would say the past 4 or 5 years. Good call posting this one. I really, really enjoyed it.

    Wow! The walk home at the end was phenomenal.

    Great video and song. My chest emotion box is a Simon Says by the way implanted by my wife.

    Very, very cool! :thumbs up:

    It would be pretty awkward wearing one of those. I actually liked that song aswell even though it lacked the demonic screams of Iced Earth. I may "pick up" some of it too.

    Kevin! Sad ending? Not cool bro. His ex should have seen that all his squares turned bright red and fall in love with him again. Instead he started smoking out of his chest and was left all by himself to masturbate in his apartment. And the people who were testing that thing out on him are probably so pissed that he broke it. Bad times.

    But seriously...Awesome song and video.

    I'm sorry but this reminded me of a crappy 80's video. And when did it become cool for men to act like such whiny bitches?

    My ex-girlfriend doesn't like me...waaaaaaah! Sack up and stop acting like the 10 year old girls in this video:

    I swear this is awesome and in the same time in the end it reminds me so much of Iron Man

    Beautiful. Sigur Ros' music has always been so emotional, this film fits perfectly. Well done.

    They came to my school about a billion times. They're not really my cup of tea, but I bet you're jealous.
