go do

If I had to pair a soundtrack to my previous post about the simple signs of spring, it would have to be this inspiring melody by Jonsi of Sigur Ros.

A review reads, “Listening to the giddy, fluttering woodwinds that grace album opener “Go Do,” you’d be forgiven for thinking you were listening to the soundtrack of a Disney movie starring cheery, anthropomorphic woodland creatures. An insistent kick drum pounds out the time as Jónsi sings, “You always know that we can do anything.” The first time I heard the phrase belly-flop off his lips, I groaned inwardly: What is this gauzy, pseudo-inspirational twaddle? But the more I digested the record, the more I sensed Jónsi’s excitement about having a blank artistic canvas to work on.” – Jason Killingsworth

For me this is one of those songs that makes me feel like I’m part of something bigger.  It makes me want to skip when I’m walking outside under a bright blue sky or sing out loud when driving down the road on a warm breezy day.  You can see all the lyrics here, but some of my favorite ones are…

Go sing, too loud
Make your voice break- Sing it out
Go scream, do shout
Make an earthquake…

Go do, you’ll know how to
Just let yourself, fall into landslide

Go do, you’ll know how to
Just let yourself, give into low tide

Go do!

Tie strings to clouds
Make your own lake – Let it flow
Throw seeds to sprout
Make your own break – Let them grow
