A Coming Out Story in a Music Video

I just came upon this captivating music video by Icelandic band Sigur Rós, and I can’t believe I haven’t seen it before. The music of Sigur Rós has been used in many gay-themed movies and shows, including the US version of Queer as Folk and the dark movie, Mysterious Skin.

This music video tells a heartbreaking story of two young boys in love and how their families can’t accept their being gay and try to ‘butch’ them up. The song is entitled “Vidrar Vel Til Loftarasa” and is a bit old (from 1999), and although it’s in Icelandic, the song is mostly instrumental. You just have to check out the video below.
