Vespertine, arguably Bjork's best album, is best enjoyed from start to finish. The songs are great on their own, but are taken to another level when experienced in one continuous listen
So True!
Song always makes me cry.
If I was visited by an angel, she would sound like Björk. She makes a vast connection between what is down to Earth and what is ethereal with an enveloping sense of "to comfort."
Finally! My favorite song from her 😭
😃
Body Memory from her most recent album Utopia is epic! 70 piece choir, strings, flutes, bird calls and even wolverines fighting! Must listen!
Hi Justin, Vespertine is a hell of an album and I recommand you to check it. Maybe you should react to its first track "Hidden Place", it's a perfect start (obviously) and it's also one of her very best songs imo.
Yes, Yes, all of Vespertine is such a treasure. To me Vespertine and Medúlla are equally her best; it just depends on if you want more of her beauty or more of her strangeness, though either way you'll get lots of both.
Hah wow I was just suggesting Hidden Place too, wasn't I?
You’re one of the very few reaction video channels that actually showcase Björk and I’m so happy that you do. She is a genius that most people don’t understand and give time to explore. Thank you for acknowledging her brilliance.
Literally every song on Vespertine, but especially this one, feels like an intimate yet transcendental experience to me
My mama would clean airplane cabins coming from iceland in those days of verpestine . she found and mp3(pre Ipod days) with only Bjork songs . She gave it to me thinking I would switch the music out for mine . I never did the mp3 had 4 or 5 albums all bjorks music. The Name BJORK stuck in my mind forever after that . I didn't Understand English very well yet so I didnt make to much of the lyrics but the music blew me away . I was maybe 9 Year old with bjorks music already in my hands
I'm so happy you're reacting to Björk again! Her music is so worth discovering, it really changed my life. The whole Vespertine album is HEAVEN. My favourite song of hers is Unison from Vespertine, I really recommend it. I would love for you to react to it!
Ty Nils!
Undo is such a devine song. Pretty much like every song on Vespertine, but Undo is special in a way.
Man the amount of detail you put into you reviews is great, I apreciate that you engage so much with the song
Thanks! Appreciate you watching
This is definitely an underrated track from the album yet it's been my favorite for awhile. The sentiment behind it and the lush, soft arrangement of the production makes me really emotional - especially by the climax of the song. Always nice to see it get some recognition.
Klone - Immersion
Katatonia - The Longest Year
Anathema - Flying
Estrum - All I Want
All underrated! :)
I like how you highlight Björk's humanity and how her music leaves you with this intense feeling of connection. How she manages to do this with so much sampling and click tracking is actually pretty amazing. Her songs are painstakingly crafted to elicit an emotional response.
Love how she wrangles with the intangible and then shares the truth of what she's discovered.
The Beauty in Vespertine is unparallel
Check out her album of jazz inflected Icelandic folk songs Gling-Glo. Pretty wild stuff.
This is one of my favorite albums by her. It always raises the hairs on my arms. It's ethereal and beautiful. As always, I appreciate your analysis and tendency to really dig into every aspect of each song.
And to answer your question, this album takes me to a peaceful, snowy place, but that's probably because of the album cover and the fact that there's a snow crunching sound effect in at least one of the songs lol
There was a period I listened to Bjork quite a lot. (I have Debut, Homogenic and Vespertine which this is from still and occasionally listen to them). Love this track and nice to see your reaction.
YES!! One of Bjork's hidden jams!!
OMG Undo is so magical, bjork's work with micro bits will never be repeated in the history of music, for sure vespertine is my favorite album of all time.
Thanks for your interpretation. I didn't know that song (I don't know much about her) but your comment makes me re-listen to the song a second time.
probably the best reaction channel i've come across, you're actually quite incredible at interpreting it. do keep it up
Really appreciate that Sky!
What a nice surprise! Björk is such an amazing artist. I got to see her live in a special performance in San Francisco on Pier 39 that was just for 5000 people. The concert was a 'Thank you' for the duo Matmos, who are a pair of electronic music performers from SF, who did a lot of the music and beats for the albums Vespertine (2001) and Medúlla (2004). Probably the best concert I've ever seen and I've seen a lot. A number of my favorite songs of hers are on Homogenic so check that out when you get a chance. Maybe try Jóga to start but there are so many good songs it's hard to pick one. Thanks and be well.
Peace from SF
Nice Bud! Ive heard Joga and it is amazing
Everyone should listen to the BEST live version of this song done in Barcelona during her Vespertine tour. You finally can find it on youtube. 🖤
Please review. Unison is amazingly haunting to another level , Great review 🙌🏼
Undone and Pagan Poetry are my favorite Bjork tracks. She collaborated with Mike Patton on Medúlla, Oceania is another track worth listening to.
One of Bjork's tamer, more laid back tracks - I like the slow build with new introductions of instruments. The strings and choir has a really nice buildup to the end. Nice song for a Sunday.
This might be my favorite album of all time.
Hi Justing! I love Bjork and, as I've said before, I love your comments about her music!!! Thank you for share your feelings and thoughts with us
Happy to! Ty Carlos
Some recommendations:
FM - Black noise
Crack the Sky - Sea Epic
Crack the Sky - Sleep
Carmen - Viva mi Sevilla
Carmen - Tales from Spain
Gong - Master Builder
Gong - The Isle of Everything
Van der Graff Generator - Man-Erg
Can - Future Days
Magma - Mekanik Kommandoh ( Absolutly crazy music. Remind me of Carmina Burana)
+1 OMG! Someone else who knows Crack the Sky! I grew up in Maryland and they actually got good promotion there and were pretty popular locally. I had everything from their awesome debut album to White Music on vinyl. Bet a lot of people would be surprised they were Rolling Stones' Best New Artist in 1975. Cheers.
"Bjork is on a totally different level" You got that right! What I love about Bjork is that with each album she creates a totally different world of sound, exspecially from Homogenic and onwards. Debut and Post are a bit different from that perspective. Debut: young, playfull in da club vibe (venus as a boy is a MASTERPIECE!). Post: still in da club but more grown up, party vibe, triphop influence. Homogenic: The rough beats and the strings, Vespertine: domestic vibe, music boxes, miniscule sounds, choirs. Medulla: The voices!!! The other ones haven´t gotten to me as the first five, because I think her songwriting is not as good as it used to. There are expections though, at least each album after Medulla has one-three really strong songs, but the albums as a whole are not as strong as her previous ones in my opinion. But I love the sound-world she created on the Utopia and Vulnicura album. Espcially Utopia. Check out this remix of blissing me: th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=bj%C3%B6rk+blissing+me+%28remix%29+%28feat.+serpentwithfeet%29+
The Album Vespertine was released a few days before 9/11 happened.
I really like her first band The Sugarcubes and her first album debut. I’ve been ambivalent about her music since then. For some reason I lack patience with most of her music, which is out of the ordinary with me .
Dude. Do you know how nuch time ive been waiting for a reaction after the Joga one.
Too long I'd suppose :D Glad you enjoyed this one though!
Very nice and thoughtful review. My favorite album from Björk is Post (check out the song Isobel). Also the song New World from Dancer in the Dark is beautiful. If your up for a challenging but ultimately rewarding listen (IMO), take a look at the band Sigur Rós. They're also from Iceland and unfortunately don't get much attention in the US. From the album "Agætis byrjun" I like the songs "Starálfur" and "Svefn-G-Englar".
Great expo-emjoyed your expo - even though I dont jive with the music 😀
Ty Steve!
It’s hard to pick a favorite album of Björk’s (thanks for correctly pronouncing her name). But Vespertine is definitely in my top 3 with Homogenic and Medulla most days. Sometimes Vulnicura sneaks into that top 3, and kicks out Vespertine though
A central aim of Bjork's has been to humanize electronic music. As she once said (quoting from memory): if someone criticizes a song made with a computer for having no soul, it's because no one has put it there. In other words, the artist puts the soul in the instrument, and the computer is also an instrument. If electronic music has no soul, it's not the tool's fault.
100% true!
Unison is good as well
When you were talking about the lonely women I instantly the picture of Mari Boine Persen came into mind for some reason, maybe because of the camp fire and the words you don't understand - listen to her famous song Gula Gula and you will see what I mean.
Well, regarding Björk - she's such a brilliant artist, not only singer. Have you seen her in "Dancer in the Dark" - a film by Lars von Trier?
Havent seen that one, but I've heard of it
I would love to listen your opinions about Black lake, from the album Vulnicura.
Please listen to Lizard by king crimson 😊
volta is at the bottom of her discography. dude u need to check out like her first 5 albums. those r a whole other level
Black Flag "Annihilate This Week"
Hi Justin, great review. Bjork always gives something to talk about. It has been almost 13 years since the first time i listened to this song, and i just could not stop, through time i have come across some live versions that you should definitely check out, th-cam.com/video/Upoyl7214HA/w-d-xo.html on this one she delivers an improvised vocal solo that simply shows her creativity and vocal capacity, th-cam.com/video/kJzfZ0lj_Cc/w-d-xo.html and this is a 2015 version where her voice has matured in a exquisite way and she reprogrammed the drums.
The only thing better than Bjork is Bjork live, always reinventing herself.
Thanks for your reviews. cheers.
Awesome, ty Emilio!
i just want to say well done on pronouncing her name correctly... most djs seem to struggle with this..!
Just remember, shorts are never cool. Also Bee-York.
It takes you to a different dimension of reality. Transcendental?
A fucking good album to pick up a song: Dummy - Portishead.
So weird. I was gonna suggest Björk, but not this one. I was thinking something off of Debut or Post. Thanks though. And I definitely second Birthday off the Sugarcubes' Life's Too Good album.
you're having a deep musical experience lol
Haha definitely
Hey please react to The Voidz or The Strokes. Human Sadness is an 11 min long song but it's quite an experience
Better try anything from Vulnicura and Utopia. Emotional epics.
Reaction Caroline Polachek - Door
Medulla was the album that changed my life. I hope you will do a reaction to it someday.
OF ALL THE SONGS ON VESPERTINE WHY THE WORST ONE
Well that's your wrong opinion
Every song on vespertine is a masterpiece.
If you haven't already heard it, "Pagan Poetry" from this album is fantastic! Great review!
Ty Peaches!
Give a listen to "Birthday" from The Sugarcubes, Bjork's pre-solo artist band.
Vespertine is a masterpiece. My favourite track on it is heirloom.
There's some good stuff on a some of her newer albums, but for me her best period is clearly Debut to Vespertine. Five brilliant albums in a row.
Yep!
I respect that opinion but can i say that vulnicura is a deep personal album with great arrangements and beautiful lyrics , also biophilia its unique and far away advance for the epoque
for me its those 5, plus medulla and vulnicura.
at the moment my favourite period of björk albums are vespertine, medulla and volta!
I don't mean it in a negative way, but I think you didn't get the later albums yet. I had it the same way years ago, but now my 2 fav are definitely Medulla and Biophilia and I probably didn't get Vulnicura and Utopia yet 😅. Her musi grows slowly into you, like tectonic plates shaping the continents and growing nails.
Bjork always has a quality like she's singing right into your ear and her vocal style is very conversational like the lyrics are flowing out of her spontaneously
I'm enjoying you listening more to Björk. I would love if you try "Family" from Vulnicura. One of my favorites from that album. It's a heartbreaking and most recent song.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG, its soooo beautiful and this whole album is literally perfect
Theres also a lot of sexual themes in this album, its definitely her most intimate
Undo is my favorite Björk song.
you describe björk so well and so passionately and vividly for someone who has hardly listened to any of her back catalogue. can't wait til you're caught up!
Thanks Joseph!
I heard "Undo" on my weird Google Play channel "Scandinavian Stargazing".
And her best... "Unison". Entire live show with a full orchestra and her girls from Iceland is up.
The words are amazing. "It's not meant to be a strife. It's not meant to be a struggle up here."
But seriously... listen to "Unison". Perfect lyrics about personal thoughts and human interaction.
TacomaPaul it’s uphill not up here but I love how that one word changes the sentiment of the song
boy, vespertine is an amazing album, give it a try
Of all of Björk’s albums... VOLTA?!? Man you are missing out
No one ever requests Unison off of vespertine even though it's one of her best
Unison is my favorite all time , to me her best 🎵 song
Nice choice! This is my favourite Björk album :) please react to the track Aurora
She is our centuries Mozart. Don’t know how to explain it any other way. She’s profound. And makes me glad to be alive.
so on point when you said Bjork uses electronic sounds differently. She mentioned in an interview how in love she is with electronic sound and how she doesn't agree with people who say they are not music. The special things is how she uses them to be a part of her musical message and not as the main focus. she gives them extra soul 🧡
Your comment in the song is electronics about herself or wharever people, she talks about her self and people around her. English as a Second language createds a different kind of poetry, or lyrics. I love her so much! The first album in vynil was THE SUGAR CUBES besause of BIRTHDAY song, iy seemed to fit with the teen I blossing of.
Man! If you just made this up while listening, you are a genius!
I felt your deep breaths in and post the crescendo. She's awesome.
Gets me every dang time 🩵🧿🩵
I come back to this song often. Due to my anxiety I hate spontaneity and uncertainty and as a result I try to control things and become uptight. I listen to this beautiful song to be reminded of its overall message.
Nice track. I haven’t listened to anything from her in well over a decade. Thanks.
Excelente reacción 🤠🤠😃
She's got so much to offer, from pure pop sensibilities to utterly subjective art. From the deep to the fluffy with all in between. There are too many songs to recommend, but Triumph Of A Heart is a good lark (I don't know many that would put so much effort into something so fun).
What a great album that was,
I enjoy the way you break this down... very odd production style with the overloaded digital sounds at the end... but wow.. the rhythmic approach and vocal delivery was something I was not expecting. Great track... very personal approach.
Glad you liked it!
Love Bjork.
As an aside, I'm chuffed you decided to make this a Dad-Rock friendly channel. Rock on!!
Haha ty😆
Try some Phantogram, like "You don't get me High Anymore," "Black Out Days," or "When I'm Small" for something I think is really under-rated. The music videos are pretty interesting too.
I love Bjork since Sugar Cubes. Her creativity.
Her coherence.Her artistry.
I like your reactions. Very smart comments. Would you react to more songs from Vespertine? This is my favorite album. Thanks :)
Ps. Björk is not one dimensional like most artists. She has you vocally, lyrically and visually in each and every song. That is true artistry.
You should watch Vespertine Live and see how she just unravels through this song. The live performance is a different being - more primal and spiritual.
You pronounce her name the closest to how it is actually pronounced
in Icelandic it is pronounced like ' work ' with a B .
Most everyone else says ' Bee- york '
This is the first time for me hearing this song and we had very similar reactions. Specifically, the masterful way she brings together sounds that might not otherwise be combined, and how she makes them perfectly blend, but remain distinct. The gorgeous vocals over her voice, the choir-ish part, adds this contrast of close and earthly, with distant and ethereal, which is the same magic she pulls off with the instruments.
Such beauty in all of it. It's frustrating that this level of creativity is not more embraced in music.
if you listen something different and underrated , you should listen;
soapkills - tango
soapkills - aranis & koullou ndif
invisible - durazno sangrando
tatran - anar
Incredible artist. Stunning album. Alluring song. Thanks!
Please listen to Bjork - Play Dead the song is amazing but also underrated.
This and Ctrl+Z are my favourite undos.
Nope. I feel like a cat listening to Mozart.
Need more reactions of bjorkkk
YES, GREAT choice! Well I'm in finals week right now, but I've got to take a break for this!
"It's through her unique delivery, it's through her strange almost alien tones, that it actually comes across as more human than a lot of other artists and bands."
^ I like that right there!
Björk is, to me, the master of having 1. musical composition, 2. musical expression, 3. production/atmosphere, 4. lyrics . . . each to the heights, and each artfully matching the others.
I imagine everyone must get their own lovely landscape in their mind when they hear this! I see myself floating on my back, being gently pulled into a totally black sky. Little angelic lights start appearing, blue, green, yellow and white, weeping over me and gently kissing me with song, and I hear whispers in my ear. More lights come and they grow brighter, and the more they do the more I see how they imitate the whispers.
I started listening to Björk with this album (and Post), and just when I was starting to catch on to her music, I found myself first noticing these lyrics closely (and I almost always filtered lyrics out from my attention) and feeling very comforted by them--which was kind of the beginning of me paying attention to lyrics. It wasn't long after that that I began to believe in God, which I'm not saying because the song had anything to do with it, but because it was so natural at the time for me to let these lyrics call to my mind the encouragement and comfort from above about which I must have already known something. I don't try interpreting Providence, but as I see it, the lyrics posed thoughts to me which readily seem to me a fine way to describe God's mercy.
God takes all our struggles seriously, yet He looks on them and our faults with total serenity; He absolutely wants us to be better, but He finds it best to achieve that by gently extending us that same tranquility, not by shocking us or telling us to 'just try harder!' Don't let any of it make you feel the need to hide; surrender, and it will begin to undo. It's both personal (her up-front voice) and communal (the choir); together they assure me more than each one alone; the first, because of personal, intimate concern; the second, so I can see that I'm not being 'taken care of' just to get me to stop complaining, just to sweep me under the rug, but it is in the sight of all heaven who share in the divine mercy.
Anyway, that's just how I find myself interpreting it. I don't think that's her intention, but I do think she was trying to depict the compassion, mercy, and generosity we all need; therefore, I cannot but see God as the one to whom that all refers. However, knowing her lyrics, I wouldn't be able to believe that this work doesn't come from a genuine spiritual impulse--And that she wanted to depict that symbolically; just listen to the harp and choir! And "I'm praying" aren't idle words. It's a heavenly song! Other songs of hers have these kinds of feelings for me. "Hidden Place" goes nicely with this I think.
So thanks for asking! LOL
Wonderful post Nick, thanks for sharing and taking the time to watch!
