Watch: Ólafur Arnalds documentary The Sky May Be Falling
JoeDiddly by Luke Slater December 10th, 2009

We know we've inundated you with videos over the the course of the last week or so, but here's one to warm the cockles of your very heart on this Winter's day.

It's a documentary, following Icelandic composer and all-round nice bloke Ólafur Arnalds around, from his performances at Iceland's Airwaves festival, to a full UK tour. Its title is The Sky May Be Falling...but the stars look good on you or, in Icelandic Himininn er að hrynja...en stjörnurnar fara þér vel. Whichever you prefer. I'd plump for the Icelandic, myself.

It was directed by Gunnar B. Guðbjörnsson from Sleepless In Rejyavik and acts as a nice little introduction to Ólafur himself. That's a wonderful accent he has there. It comes in three parts, and they're all embedded below.
