Glósóli
"Glósóli" (, Icelandic for "Glowing Sole") is a song by Sigur Rós, released as part of their 2005 album '' Takk...'' Together with "Sæglópur" it was the first single released from the album, available as a download only release on iTunes in America and Europe respectively. The name is a combination of ''gló-'' from the verb ''að glóa'' meaning "to glow, shine, glitter" and ''sóli'' meaning "sole." The second element of the name, ''sóli'', shares its grammatical stem with the word "sól", meaning "sun". In combination "glósóli" can be understood as a childish way of saying "glowing sun" or "let the sun glow". Music video The song is also praised for its artistic and highly cinematographic music video. The video consists of children dressed in old-fashioned Icelandic clothing, migrating towards a very characteristic cliff which is to be found in Reykjanes Peninsula in the SW of Iceland (63°48'39.6"N 22°42'49.7"W).
