Ljósið: A music of hope

Although this piece of music is apolitical, I just felt there is a strong magical feeling of hope, love and peace in this music that eventually soothes our nerves and mind.

For all those who lose their hopes time and again, I hope Ljósið will help you overcome hopelessness and open up your mind.

This delicate symphonic composition comes from Ólafur Arnalds, 21, from Iceland. Arnalds, who has done his musical tours across Europe and North America, creates a magical atmosphere in his songs that takes the audience in a dreamy, meditative journey.
