Ever heard a song that wasn't originally intended to praise God, but somehow touched you in a profound way? A way that made every fiber of your being want to get up and dance and shout and praise Him? That's what Sigur Ros "Glossolli" does to me everytime.
The funny thing is, it's all in Icelandic and it totally wasn't meant for worship. But somehow, it does that for me. Isn't it interesting how God can use creaters of "secular" music to really strike a chord in you? Sometimes when I miss church, or am feeling especially far from Christ, I turn on Sigur Ros and I dance around in my living room. Just shouting and praising him. And I know that it's worshipful, cause I know He can see deep into my being and know that it's all meant for Him.
Somehow it makes me think about what Heaven will be like: A thousand instruments creating the biggest symphony ever seen. And that symphony playing the prettiest music. And there I am, in the middle of it just dancing and singing and falling to my knees and crying out to my King. That's what Sigur Ros does to me. I hope one day when I am up there, they'll play a Sigur Ros song.... they're awesome.

This happens to me too! And I LOVE when it does! It is why I LOVE art! I love how good art reflects the glory of the Lord in a way that pierces our hearts with joy.
