Sigur Ros

Dear Sigur Ros,

An Icelandic band that sincerely does not get enough credit, I salute you. Going to bed with cold spots in the sheets and the allure of sweet, sweet dreams, several times my promising expectations have had obstacles deter me from my standard REM cycles and 8 hours of recommended sleep. This is when you answer my prayers like rainbows through hazy clouds. You have been my sleeping pill for the last year and I commend you on your ability to dissect emotions like they have been put through a strainer and rinsed with cooling water.


One of my favorite songs, Untitled #1 (Vaka)

And my other preferred, Untitled #3 (Samskeyti)

Vaka is definitely more of a tear jerker while the 2nd is more uplifting and hopeful. Choose either, you'll like them both I can bet.


And for fellow readers who've never experienced a relaxing night in my bed, I give you my 'Sleeptime" playlist.
