If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

Would you fly? Teleport? Go back in time?

If I could have any superpower, it would be to have the emotional power that Sigur Ros' has in their music.

I was about 9 or 10 when I discovered Sigur Ros' while watching Vanilla Sky.

Although I appreciated the music enough to find out who they were, in the last 5 years I have come to appreciate their music in a way little 9-year-old me would have never been able to comprehend.

I'm going to be honest...

I have no idea what they sing about.

I don't know the lyrics. When I sing along, I sing along because I remember what I hear, but I don't know what it means, and I honestly have never cared to find out.

Why?

Not because I don't care. I'm sure the lyrics are as genius as their music... but I listen to Sigur Ros' when I'm alone, on a walk, sitting outside, or cleaning my room... I throw them on and I'm left with nothing but my own thoughts, and I love the world they create for me.

It's open for interpretation which makes the music weigh so heavy on me because it always seems to sound like whatever I'm feeling inside at that moment.

It's taught me a lot about music because most people relate to lyrics in the music they listen to... but with Sigur Ros', it's so much deeper than that. There's something therapeutic about it.

It can be anything I want it to be. It has managed to beautifully represent everything between bliss and chaos.

We live in a world divided by race, political parties, gender, and so much more. Yet, a band that doesn't even speak my language has inspired me and spoke to me more than most people who do speak my language have.

What has that that taught me?

That emotions are universal.

If you ever see live performances of Sigur Ros, you see thousands of people united solely over the sound of music.

You don't have even have to speak the same language to speak to someone.

To inspire someone.

The people in this world have chosen to be divided. It is so refreshing to have reminders that it doesn't have to be that way.

Music is a powerful thing in its own. If you go to a concert, you see so many people, and I feel like you almost always unite with people in some way. Whether you have fun with them during the show or you bond over the music that brought you to the same place at the same time. You unite with all sorts of people. People you would never think to strike a conversation with if you saw them at the grocery store.

To have that ability to unite people is extremely moving, but to manage to move people without even speaking the same language is pure power.
