Sigur Rós - Untitled #1 - Vaka (Official 4K Remastered Music Video)

We are pleased to release a remastered 4K version of the video for Untitled #1 (Vaka) as part of our ( ) 20th anniversary season.

The video depicts a post-apocalyptic world, where children leave school, wearing gas masks in order to play “safely” outside. The sky is blood red and black ash falls like snow. It is not clear what catastrophic event was the cause, or where and when this is. For many the video foreshadows a bleak, not so distant future, but more importantly it represented the current reality for many children in the world when it was first released, and today, 20 years on.

Directed by Floria Sigismondi, the video went on to win best video at the MTV EMA awards in 2003.

Let's cry together in 4K
I want my mom 🥺
*bless her soul in heaven*

[КонстантинСлепцов-цс]

How I want to return to a carefree childhood where the grass was greener, the trees were taller, there were more stars and kind people.

[EddieKat]

All these years later, this song, and especially this video, still make me cry.

[nicolaimarquez]

Sigur Ros are not from this world. They sound like they come from a world far away, as desolate as the one in this video. And yet, it sounds like a world where joy can still be found. That's what it makes me feel, at least

[juanticimo]

This song is so important in the history of modern music.. really shows where the human mind can take sound. Always been one of my favs, and still makes me cry to this day.

Back then I was working as a teacher and one of my students talked me about this band. I’ll be eternally grateful for that. I love this music and I’ll always do. Thanks!

[MrUndersolo]

Floria Sigismondi directed this. Makes me proud that someone from my hometown is somehow connected with this band and song!

[HeaddressMusicTX]

One of the worlds greatest bands to ever live

[HaidenG]

Tomorrow, after 3 months, I'll no longer be living in my tent, finally. But I'll hang onto my tent, just because. I'm very grateful.

Every song from Sigur Ros touches me deep in my soul

[farhanislam]

This is a wonderful song. It just touches something deep inside me.

[anderss]

I remember when I first heard and saw this video. It hit me on so many levels and affected me in ways I do not have words for. A masterpiece. Truly ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[lindaken]

Floria Sigismond always makes weird and beautiful videos.
I think this video and Tricky's “Makes me wanna die” are her best work.

[brickprik]

A band who touches the soul of the listener. Beautiful.

[DerbJd]

How a single piece of music stops me in my tracks and makes me break down into a heap. I just wish my parents were still alive. This song makes me think of my Dad.

[ZeEduardo]

Recently I have been obsessing over several versions of this song (album, acoustic, and live) and now Sigur Ros release a remaster of the music video. Can't ask for much more now!

[andrewtalbot]

Sigur Ros have a way of penetrating your soul in a sad and beautiful way. I've got a five year old boy and this makes me love him more.❤️

[mholderbach]

So hauntingly beautiful and surreal at the same time. 😭😭

[snaintonseadog]

From my ears deep into my very soul. There’s something both primal and other worldly about this entire album. Beautiful.

[Hazardlv]

Sad and beautiful nostalgia is. Sigur Ros kinda captures that feeling.
