Hoppipola by Sigur Ros is a great song.
I kept meaning to get the album it’s on.
But then I keep hearing it on TV. It was on all the ads for Planet Earth on BBC1.
I turned on the radio to BBC 6 Music three times last week and Hoppipola was actually playing as I switched on. On two other occasions they played it within 5 minutes of me tuning in.
And today they used it on BBC1 for the coverage of the London Marathon. Need a bit of soul-strirring gravitas for your TV show? Crank up the Sigur Ros!
Which is a shame. I won’t be buying the album now. I can’t get Hoppipola out of my head and it’s driving me mad.
