The songs on Heim are the same recordings found in the documentary Heima. Its original CD release comprises two discs: Hvarf contains studio versions of previously unreleased songs (with the exception of "Hafsól", which was released as the B-side of " Hoppípolla" in 2005), while Heim contains live acoustic versions of songs already released. Hvarf/Heim is a compilation album by Sigur Rós.
