}} "Glósóli" ((:ˈkl̥ou̯ːˌsou̯lɪ), Icelandic for "Glowing Sole"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=sigur rós - lyrics )〕) 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 an unknown destination somewhere in Iceland. The leader, a boy with a drum, directs the group through a land characterized by open fields and rocky hills, all the while picking up more and more children. The group then fall asleep and the video enters a dream-like state, signified by a change in hue. The song culminates at the end when the children reach a large hill and the leader starts beating his drum rapidly. When the song climaxes, the children start to run full speed up the hill. The upward slope of this hill in fact matches the upward curve of the song's constantly increasing dynamic structure when viewed as a waveform. It is then shown that the hill is in fact a cliff, ending at the ocean. When the children reach the edge, they jump off and swim through the air. The video features a characteristic ambiguous ending, when the last and youngest child is shown jumping off the cliff in a cannonball style. The cinematographer Chris Soos has stated that to him the child definitely flies along with the rest, but ambiguity was the intention. The child naturally chose the cannonball style after a reluctance to jump whilst filming.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=sigur rós - discography » takk... )〕 The video is also a direct allusion to J. D. Salinger's novel "The Catcher in the Rye". In the novel, character Holden Caulfield says "I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all." The video was directed by Arni & Kinski.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glósóli」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
