I have yet to find a live version where she captures the original high pitch. I imagine it is quite stressful and maybe was enhanced in the studio version?
@@paulmirabella9960 I figured as such. That would be very difficult to replicate with all the stress of performing live and doing that show after show i would imagine would strain her voice so much. Have a good one!

He offers A handshake Crooked Five fingers They form a pattern Yet to be matched On the surface simplicity But the darkest pit in me It’s pagan poetry Pagan poetry... One of the best song of the world.
WRITTEN, SINGLE, TOUCHED AND VISUAL POETRY OF THE BEST QUALITY! I was a teenager, I remember at the time that this clip of the song "Pagan Poetry" by this Icelandic singer Bjork, made a lot of controversy when it was released, I read in magazines, getting banned from MTV. According to my perception the clip can be divided into two parts. The first is basically composed of sex between abstract forms alternated with images of needles, piercings and collars being inserted into a woman's body. In the second part, Bjork is finally shown wearing a "wedding dress". Detail: This dress leaves Björk's breasts on display and is theoretically supported by the piercings and necklaces shown in the first part of the video. By having some "sex and nudity scenes" the unsuspecting may consider the video appealing and pornographic, however, it is far from it. The purpose of pornographic content is to sexually excite, whoever has seen knows what I am talking about, far from the purpose And the emotions of "Pagan Poetry." With all these needles, Björk's bipolar expressions, which now both cries, smiles, and surrealism in the sexual scenes, the transmitted feeling is basically pain, despair, and a near loss of sanity. A wedding dress is a symbol of love, after all a couple just gets married (or should be) when they both love each other.But the dress used in the video is only maintained thanks to the various painfully used necklaces and piercings By the singer.Therefore, love exists only close to her pain? The letter of the song does not give much detail on the reason for this pain.Infidelity? Unrequited love? Moral questions? Or worse, would the lover himself be the one who hurts her? , For whatever reason, love hurts and Björk, managed to pass all this pain so much for those who listen to the song and its silent and distressed I love him / her, both for those who see the instability of Their expressions in the video. Shocking, dark, mysterious, beautiful and painful, in short "Pagan Poetry" is a true work of art. What charmed, enchanted and enchanted those who see and hear!
J'adore cette femme aux milles talents. Je venderais mon âme si je pourrais être dans ta peau et vivre Toutes les émotion de ton talent et ta prestance sur la scène. tu es une femme extraordinaire et très réfléchi. j'espère avoir la chance un jour te voir en spectacle.
Literally gives me shivers. The amount of skill this woman has is absolutely astonishing; Definitely one of the best music artists of all time, if not best.
I always though the Riverside Church was the best performance of this song....but not anymore. Absolutely Amazing. I sure wish Bjork would come to the states.
I think they are both artistically brilliant and both extremely talent and out of this world. They are on the same level but they are completly different . Kate bush paved the way for artists like bjork because kate was so unique and it allowed others to be different aswell
She can indeed, remember that our voice is an instrument, there are muscles, we get tired, we get sick, it's not always safe for an artist to pass the voice limits... She just protects her voice...
Also, she hits a remarkably high note (though clear & without as much force) in "Bachelorette" live on many occasions (return TONIGHT/show you THE WAY), as well as a few killer notes in Play Dead. I think what @Duvan said is exactly right...she protects her voice, but occasionally will unleash it...like in the studio for a promising take, or on a big live recording she intends to sell, eg.
It’s definitely not effects. You can hear when someone uses auto tune and it’s only ever used to bump the voice the tiniest amount, any more than this and it’s obvious to the ear. You get to have several takes when recording so it’s safer to be risky in the studio. If you can’t hit that note every single time, you wouldn’t risk it live & that’s probably why she doesn’t do it live. Too stressful.
There is just so much more of, what's the word.....charm maybe, allure, when she opens her eyes as that most wonderful voice of hers sends out its pangs. Some musicians do that, they keep their eyes closed for the longest moments, if not throughout their songs, as they put out their art. She has such beautiful eyes to go along with her beautiful voice! I like it better when she opens her eyes is what I'm trying to say here. It adds so much more to the music.
Goddamn B! U are so fucking incredible and inspiring…. i"ve watched 370,000 videos on YT over the years and this is my 6th comment. keep Doin yo thang Girl! its people like you who keep me doin mine

La danse, écriture dramatique , la gymnastique, l escalade mais c étais impossible dans mon petit coin de pays. l'éducation et nous faire comprendre que une vie n'est pas de travail c'est faire ce que n'aime et le développer jeune. mais il en a qu'il y ont penser Mais pas ds moin coin de ville perdu
The original ending of this quiet masterpiece, "He makes me want to hand myself over"= THE hardest challenge to sing!! Goosebump-inducing
So special
Intense

@@Quartered_Rodent She has never sang that part live unfortunately
@@paulmirabella9960 I figured as such. That would be very difficult to replicate with all the stress of performing live and doing that show after show i would imagine would strain her voice so much. Have a good one!
In my opinion this is her best song.
Balazs Santa agree
no doubt.
Balazs Santa
This and Mouth,,
Obviously
Her best song is a long list.
Exactly, her best song is a really looooong list.
she looks so simple and humble, like "i´m gonna do my thing, guys. thank you for enjoying it"
+naniccabe Well she's not humble. Many have said she is a diva bitch.
+naniccabe she's authentically herself and its mesmerizing
+Wis Dom just because someone says something doesn't mean it's true~
White Rabbit Keyword: "Many". Think before you comment. Use common sense, not emotion.
"Common Sense" -another word for HELL !
Björk is a poetry in this world
you should check out aurora aksnes~
Aurora has an angelic voice, she's amazing
+Head full of dreams yessss she issss
Love, Hate, passion, sadness... there's absolutely everything in that song. A real Gem.
There's NO hate though. If you think there's hate, you don't understand it at all. It's not hate, it's doubt you're hearing and maybe fear/

He offers
A handshake
Crooked
Five fingers
They form a pattern
Yet to be matched
On the surface simplicity
But the darkest pit in me
It’s pagan poetry
Pagan poetry...
One of the best song of the world.
Agree🖤
She's beautiful...
Just imagine how magic it would be to see that live, goosebumps.
Obrigado Bjork por existir.
I love the amount of music composition that goes into her songs!
Bjork is a gorgeous woman; beautiful & full of magic. Her songs make me glad to be alive; make me want to explore & feel. She is amazing.
I love how much effort she puts in singing incoherent gibberish while yelling.
She looks gorgeous here. Of course the song pagan poetry is a masterpiece.
3:40 pure magic
You're right, I've been stuck on this part for a couple weeks now !!
do you know what she's saying on that part?
no, im just enjoying the weird sounds she's making
She is magic, wonderful
14yrs later and still as magical as the first time I heard it❤❤❤
Probably one of the most beautiful song ever done.
I LISTEN THIS SONG EVERY DAY!!!!

Bjork saved my life. Like literally
Same
how I adore Bjork. Her music always takes me to a place that I wouldn't normally be able to get
The crowd is literally stunned, whoo! This is a great song for her, I love to see her visceral story sung, 🤯 BTW, she looks amazing in black,👀
J'adore cette femme aux milles talents. Je venderais mon âme si je pourrais être dans ta peau et vivre Toutes les émotion de ton talent et ta prestance sur la scène. tu es une femme extraordinaire et très réfléchi. j'espère avoir la chance un jour te voir en spectacle.
The thing about Bjork, the average person may not pick up her tempo because it's pretty unique to her. But once you understand it.. it's genius
wow.....compare this song now to ...black lake its an amazing account of the rise and fall of a love .....a truly astounding artist
Literally gives me shivers. The amount of skill this woman has is absolutely astonishing; Definitely one of the best music artists of all time, if not best.
❤
Essa mulher é como se fosse uma outra dimensão do mundo. Genial ❤👏
I love that camera pan across the audience right before the second verse starts and everyone just looks completely fucking stunned and blown away.
I love this song!
🖤 Amazing...the poetry in each Word.. and each Silence...Bjork for ever..🖤
Between this and Joga, I think they are her best songs.
wow!!! this must be one of the best performances of this song...
pleasantly and sensually sung...
The perfect song and the perfect woman.
Gosh she's so stunning here 😍
I cry every listen to it... She see thru people, Iceland witch... Goddess. Love her forever...
Esta canción llega a lo más profundo de mi alma... No tengo palabras para describir lo que me hace sentir ... Poderosa , bella, melódica ...
Such a beautiful performance! she is so Gorgeous, I love her till infinity!
I always though the Riverside Church was the best performance of this song....but not anymore. Absolutely Amazing. I sure wish Bjork would come to the states.
Indeed remarkable artist..........like Kate Bush but in a different dimension obviously.
I think they are both artistically brilliant and both extremely talent and out of this world. They are on the same level but they are completly different . Kate bush paved the way for artists like bjork because kate was so unique and it allowed others to be different aswell
This song is killing me !!!
Killing me too... Minsk
I've always wondered if she really can hit those last few notes at the end of the studio version or if they were merely effects..
She can indeed, remember that our voice is an instrument, there are muscles, we get tired, we get sick, it's not always safe for an artist to pass the voice limits... She just protects her voice...

I think what @Duvan said is exactly right...she protects her voice, but occasionally will unleash it...like in the studio for a promising take, or on a big live recording she intends to sell, eg.
But don't forget that she had a few nodules and now tries to take more control on her voice instead on going on high notes currently
It’s definitely not effects. You can hear when someone uses auto tune and it’s only ever used to bump the voice the tiniest amount, any more than this and it’s obvious to the ear. You get to have several takes when recording so it’s safer to be risky in the studio.

Olyan gyönyörű, hogy még most is sírva fakadok, mikor hallgatom, pedig már nem először hallom...
I was barely a child when she came out with this song little did I know would fall in love with her.
Such a beautiful and powerful performance. This song is incredible, definitely one of my favourites.
quem viu o filme dela dance in the dark mostre sua carinha feliz.
:)

My def choice as the best Bjørk song ever, even if its a close race the top 10 songs she has created. She is one of my biggest inspirations.
We looove you, we looove you. We looove you, we looove you.
Моя любимейшая песня на все времена. lovelove
So many good songs love Bjork.
A única artista verdadeira, que sente o que trasmite!!!!
How cool is this woman,can't ever get enough of her!!Oh yeah,n as most of us have seen already,she can literally kick some ass,ha ha!
she's so feminine here and during the Vespertine era...she's wonderful
Bjork is incredible, by definition.
She is timeless.
Without question the best live version of this song I've ever heard.
Loving this version.
alucinante!!
Beautiful, the best!
la amo tanto D:
1:18 - 1:38 is probably what the ancient sailors heard as they smashed into a cliff.
Bjork is amazing!

Incredible music...I grew up wih her music...
Outstanding.. outstanding... outstanding... outstanding.. outstanding..
