On this day in 2005, Sigur Rós released Glósóli. The name is a combination of gló- from the verb að glóa meaning "to glow, shine, glitter" and sóli meaning "sole." The second element of the name, sóli, shares its grammatical stem with the word "sól", meaning "sun". In combination, "glósóli" can be understood as a childish way of saying "glowing sun" or "let the sun glow." Here's a clip of the band playing Glósóli live in 2013 for BBC 6 Music. | Sigur Rós
