Sigur Rós Donate Song To Oxfam Commercial

The guys recently donated “Með suð í eyrum” for a commercial spot for Oxfam America.  You can watch the spot below but the message from Oxfam is simple:

Nearly one billion suffer from chronic hunger. The cost of food from Ethiopia to Afghanistan has nearly doubled. The situation is urgent.

One modest donation can make a difference.

Support Oxfam’s work to end hunger and poverty. You can save a life. You can make a difference.

    So did the gys really give permission for Private Practice to use music, too? I know times are tough, but it made me a little sad.

    Can’t think of a better song which can make such an impact. Well done Sigur Ros and Oxfam.

    Great! We almost can feel the hunger of the people..
    Here in Brazil, thousands of people die every month because they don’t have anything to eat.. that’s sad..

    It’s good to see that there are people who care and try to do something to help them.
    We really can make difference.

    Great cause.

    I want to see Sigur here, in Brazil!
    And by the way: Orri, I love you so much, you can’t imagine! Sigur Rós does the difference in my life!

    …Tu és a única luz da treva em meio
    Tu és a minha estrela do sol posto…

    Penso em ti -castro alves
