I get the impression this was a lot of handmade stuff with a few digital insects and a lot of CGI glitter overlaid (the cat tube toy at 2:30 made me laugh) - at least based off Arisen My Senses and the writeup on how that was made, involved an awful lot of bizarre physical creations
Sure, but then what do you do about allergies? 😅 Srsly, I associate this with psychedelics, not mundane hayfever issues. Ketamine probably cures allergies anyways😜👾👽
Bjork is that artist that I listen to alone because not everyone understands how special she is and I will not leave any room for negative comments towards my girl. She is a gift for the music industry and she is so underrated but maybe that’s a good thing because she truly feels like a treasure. Not everybody gets to be graced by this greatness ✨ I feel so lucky to be able to listen to her music 🖤
Omg now that you say that, I think I do the same thing. I feel like I just can't play Bjork in a room of people who don't understand how absolutely beautiful her songwriting is
@@katleenemmens ¿Puedes por favor decirme de que trata este video musical? Yo no hablo ingles, solo español y nunca se la letra de las canciones de Bjork, aunque me encantan sus videos... Pero de algo estoy seguro respecto a ella y que además también pienso y siento lo mismo: !Cuidemos nuestro mundo, el mundo natural, que es el único mundo en el que vivimos - Y respetémonos los unos a los otros! :)
@@Versatil-1980 Me perdonas si no escribo muy bien, no hablo Español. Mas tienes razón, las canciones de Bjork por lo que yo tengo escuchado hablan mucho sobre la vida, el mundo, el universo y la natureza. Las canciones de Bjork conectan todas as cosas y sentimientos y tudo lo que existe. Y sobre Utopia, tienes razón también, Utopia habla de que la utopía es el mundo en el que vivimos, no otro lugar, y que debemos preservarlo. La traduccíon de Utopia: "Especies de aves nunca antes vistas ni escuchadas La primera flauta tallada a partir de la primera fauna. Utopía (no lo es) En otra parte Purifiquemos Me asignaste para proteger nuestra linterna. Ser intencional con la luz. Utopía No esta en otro lado Está, está aquí Mi instinto me ha estado gritando durante años. Diciendo salgamos de aquí Un enorme tumor tóxico sobresale bajo tierra aquí Purificar, purificar, purificar, purificar la toxicidad"
I don't think that's fair to say, since she worked with a ton of people to make this all possible, all taking influence on the final project. But she is amazing, yes.
For anyone who keeps saying she must’ve been on drugs to conjure this universe up, y’all forget how creative the human mind can get? Look at the garden of earthly delights.
this piece shows us how björk is underrated nowadays, despite her precious state of avant-guard... she incorporated a flute ensemble (so there's a kind of classical music inspiration), natural and experimental sounds to create a clear image of her utopic, imaginary and hyperreal world... proving that music touches all the senses people should appreciate more people like this!
Bjork has created her own universe. She's the most creative artist of the last 25 years. She's a genre unto herself. She has even managed to turn herself into a work of art. Amazing woman, amazing artist. Respect.
it's more so other people that put out the narrative of billie being super different, probably because most current popular artists don't stand out in that way, but she's obviously not comparable to björk and no one's thinking that
Björk's lyrics are essential if you want to understand her art. Read it below: Bird species never seen or heard before The first flute carved from the first fauna Utopia It’s not elsewhere Let's purify You assigned me to protect our lantern To be intentional about the light Utopia It isn't elsewhere It’s here My instinct has been shouting at me for years Saying, "Let’s get out of here!" Huge toxic tumour bulging underneath the ground here Purify, purify, purify, purify toxicity
Sara Dickson she said the same thing in the song "notget": If I regret us I’m denying my soul to grow Don’t remove my pain It is my chance to heal This video is the positive pole of notget (the directors are the same too) 😊 have a great weekend!
What are you even talking about? Bjork is a nature hater? Since when hahaha. In fact, she's known for voicing her opinion in support of nature. See this, for example, th-cam.com/video/gWAHr6wuByU/w-d-xo.html in that video she's talking about preserving the natural landscape of Icelandic Highlands by creating a national park within it so that the government can't place powerlines and build roads along the area. Also, remember the 'Biophilia' project? This project grew into an educational program that aims to educate children about nature, science, and music through apps. Also remember the single 'Náttúra'? In which she donated all the proceeds to the Náttúra Foundation, the environmental preservation campaign after which the song is named. So, Nah, Bjork and nature hater in a sentence just doesn't make any sense.
Björk is my saviour. Her music saved my life when I tried to commit suicide once. Just saying. I took more than 100 pills and her voice gave me hope so I am grateful. Thank you dearest Björk.
@@susananedo6042 earth is an enigmatic thing.. The more we know, the less we know. Ra's law of one or other new age of love and etc. Is good, but is there really nothing more to it? There seems to be a huge hole in this life... But we are the creator. The best solution to this "sufferings" would be to deem it unable
@@bestmesubliminalsandyoutub4305 we can turn that around, and make life vastly, vastly better, give human beings vastly more hope, far more ability to create their own futures, to not be utterly shackled by the political economic systems that the rulers of this earth, a small number of men and women across multiple ethnic backgrounds, impose upon the billions of us. It’s a lot of work, and it may never happen, but the reality is that it IS possible, and also the reality is that those systems as they exist now quite literally cannot continue on existing very much longer… the question is, what comes next. The hope and answer is, the masses of humanity must determine that path communally, together, and not have it imposed by the few who already have all the power and wealth. Would this create an *actual* utopia? No, it wouldn’t. There would still be suffering. Social problems would still exist, and people would have to accept not getting everything they want all of the time. This is a reality of our being as humans on this earth and mortal coil, that will never end as long as we are. Still, the community of humanity we could build would be able to provide so much more fulfillment, so much more meaning, be so much less oppressive in every way that we desire to escape now, that it is worth it to demand, and to fight for. It will never be given, it can only be taken, and this can only happen when people decide they have had enough, that they must stand together to overcome the world of the present, this anti-utopia. We may not be able to build utopia, but we can build community that rejects this denial of belief in the ideals of utopia, and places so much in the hands of so few, while billions have nothing.. not even hope. In the meantime, thank god for great art like this, which can give hope, and can help us dream of that better world. We just need to make it more than dream, before reality becomes the nightmare it’s veering towards…
I smoke marijuana and I'm not a prude, but it saddens me a little bit to read comments saying she's relying on drugs to do her work. Friendly reminder - what you just saw used to be called "human imagination". And she has a beautiful one.
I totally agree. That mind of hers doesn't need drugs to conjure up these images and sounds. I'm betting that she saw this in her mind, almost exactly as it's presented, long before a single step was taken to make it happen. She is the last of the Norse Gods.
There are a lot of people who collaborate in creating a music video, for example the makeup artistry/design is from the conceptual artist Hungry (isshehungry on Instagram), as well as other creatives who she selects to realize these works of art. Dismissing their contributions in creating the landscape of Björk’s catalogue of amazing - often groundbreaking - music videos is sad. They are constructed and inspired by amazing minds - including, Björk herself. But it certainly isn’t a lone enterprise nor simply conjured up by Björk smoking a spliff. It is conjured up by Björk passing that Dutch to people she hires in her projects. 😂🤣
this is so overwhelmingly beautiful. that shade of pink is allegedly supposed to be a relaxant and is used on prison walls to make people calm. but also the music, i kept waiting for the beat drop like 0_0
Lmao. I have no idea where you got that from that prison walls are pink or that someone cares if prison inmates are calm. As a lawyer I have to visit prisons often to see my clients and I can assure you that none of the prison walls are pink.
@@wioi I know this is really late, but I think they were referring to the colour Baker-Miller Pink, which was theorized by Alexander Schauss to have a calming effect on people. I don't think it turned out to be true, but there is a wikipedia article on it if you're interested! Here's an exerpt: "In 1979, Schauss managed to convince the directors of a Naval correctional institute in Seattle, Washington to paint some prison confinement cells pink in order to determine the effects this might have on prisoners. "
Interesting comment. I am a composer and i'm convinced that the key of C major is red. This song seems to want to be in C, but I cannot accurately find an actual tonal center here. Other thing, if it really is in C, then the high-winds of the flutes would make the color more pastel: therefore, PINK, as you suggested! I'm actually going to go into analysis of this piece now. Wish me luck!
+Shy Stone ...Yeah, and her chest wound was a vagina, have you seen vulnicura's album art? it isn't even subtle Rather than her wound going away, it just simply took on a new form... It turned into a gate... So it makes sense that it's still vaginal metaphorically
Bjork is more interested in creating physically experimental and visually memorable moments more so than creating catchy songs. I respect her a lot as an artist. Still watch her videos for her creative visual expressions. Always a genius. Wish I lived 1000 years and she did too just so I could see what she could produce. She’s like a mad scientist of sensory experiences.
I watched the whole video from start to finish, the whole 3 minutes and 44 seconds and it felt like only 30 seconds elapsed. I believe that the rest of my time was captivated, soaked somewhere by the art form and it is still residing there until this very day. BRAVO! Bjork.
It took me a minute to get into this album but it really is a masterpiece. She only get weirder, and better with each album. It’s a strange mix, weird and good. It’s like, pushing boundaries is its goal- but not the only goal. Good music is its core!
Bjork' s brilliance is so underrated and overlooked. But on the other hand, I guess it's a good thing because then she'd be forced into the madness of the entertainment industry. I would HATE for her pure originality to be tainted and corrupted. You've been sharing your talents with us freely for a long time and I am looking forward to continuing to follow you on this mystical, magical musical adventure Bjork!!! I hope to one day meet you and sit in your presence.
@@michaelleahy123 I LOVE writing. Can't help the fact that you're illiterate and get bored easily. Go read a kindergarten book with 3 words per page and lots of photos to stimulate you and hold your attention. Please, NEVER start a sentence with a lower-case!
Imagine if Björk creates an VR game based on this music video with her music as soundtrack. I wish I could listen to Björk songs all day while been immersed into her world
Just listen and you are already transported there. The transcendence is in the music! Beware of posers like Glen Gould. He acts like an eccentric pianist, but all he does is abuse other composers music. Bjork has respect and honor. And will be Blessed.
Fun fact! The blue creature is a Glaucus Atlanticus, this is relevant because Glaucus is a hermaphrodite, "having both male and female reproductive organs. Unlike most nudibranchs, which mate with their right sides facing, sea swallows mate with ventral sides facing." Which is reminiscent of the promo shoot with Bjork wearing a strap on. This also represents that in an ideal world, like Utopia, a creature or human would have both parts. Edit because there are irritating people in the comments. I am not insinuating this realistic for our world, I'm talking about the world of UTOPIA. Utopia is a perfect world. Any of you loons who think I'm referring to how to make our world perfect is delusional becuase of people like some of you, it impossible to create a perfect world. My comment is referring to the world of the video YOU JUST WATCHED. The ideal, perfect, world of Utopia Bjork is showing you, I believe in that world they have both parts. Hermaphrodites. Naturally. That's how that world functions.
I think maybe not that they would have both parts, but men are considered so dominant, that shes placed multiple lyrical suggestions that she wants to be able to dominate sometimes, a utopia in which its equal to be a creature with or without a penis
It kinda makes me feel like walking to a magical forest with all of the bird like flutes being heard and to come upon a beautiful voice of a women being awaken, and makes me feel like i can be in a wonderful place... It’s like paradise... And this is what this new album is...
Bjork is a musical genius, she's creative & very imaginative. Bjork has no intentions of changing herself just because some people think her music and the way she interprets things is "weird". At least she's being herself & she has the freedom to do what she wants with her music. Bjork is a Queen! and also only Intellectuals can appreciate & listen to Bjork's music.
The only artist(s) that come to my mind that are comparable in creativeness are/is Dead Can Dance, a band found by both australian singers Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard. They use ancient instruments like the hurdy-gurdy, or the yan-ching (a sorta dulcimer), combine them with unusal and forgotten rythms from all around the world, often put also in some animal sounds like birds or sheep, as well as lots of percussions they record and don't build up electronically. then, they split their singing languages. While Brendan Perry sings in english about issues like democracy, fairness, betrayal or the sadness of life, using often metaphors from ancient greek, lisa gerrard sings with her opera-singer-like alto-voice in a self invented language that sounds actually like a unknown tribal language. sometimes they do really strange stuff. but if you like björk, then believe me, you'll like Dead Can Dance to. despite that, björks videos are beyond good. dead can dance doesn't make all to much videos, but their newest album has one. i will link some videos of them for you. th-cam.com/video/FvhKAzHfPeo/w-d-xo.html (A live-studio recording) th-cam.com/video/7em5haBGxz4/w-d-xo.html (from their newest album, the music video for the movement: "THE MOUNTAIN") th-cam.com/video/qbaKEt5BtHo/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/nQU4e_cs3Kk/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/rnl9NVHT6Ww/w-d-xo.html (it is a live recording btw) th-cam.com/video/ZiYBFwoyzoM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/2eQItnQv1lU/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/1Z4uITELiqw/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/QuMqDF0PFZA/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/frX8mVIi48g/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/cM6iZsqXq0Q/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/2QqSnwtUIIQ/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/CoEGsxUZ2F4/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/SBoapDKKL2Q/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/5J8mvTWceO8/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/VPd-MSr19qI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/Ys5xfdn5rlo/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/7iqxzURgQWg/w-d-xo.html (often used in soundtracks) th-cam.com/video/wWGKwNt9NY8/w-d-xo.html (i think it is the official music video) th-cam.com/video/Ku1HJ2DI7Xk/w-d-xo.html (a sort of a musicvideo, but not ordered or made by them, just added.) th-cam.com/video/qzTBsbXFY7I/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/unhfa9OnpbE/w-d-xo.html hope you enjoy it :)
If you like, check out Agnes Obel, another great musician, using very simple instrumentation but creates a great atmosphere. i could imagine her songs in a netflix series about the 1920s or the industrial British Empire, or a Fairy-like Fantasy-Series. I mentioned The Band DEAD CAN DANCE in a post before, and i read to days ago that they will do a north and south america tour with her as a special guest, whatever that means. sad that i live in europe, but had not the money or the time or the opportunity to visit one of their concerts in germany. But as George R.R. Martin said: "A Boy Can Dream". There is also Florence And The Machine, a band around the british singer Florence Welch. she can sing so powerful, you'll love it for sure. The third musician is kate bush. Veeeeery strange, but cool.

In writing they always say, “show don’t tell.” Bjork is one of the few musical artists who primarily shows through her music. It’s such a gift to the listener.
Before Utopia's release I listened to Vulnicura a few times, and it grew even more in me, I'm always changing my favorite song from that album, now it's Atom Dance, Family and Lionsong... It's one of her best works, along with Vespertine and Homogenic... And that was the hardest part to me when I listened to Utopia, I kept comparing it with Vulnicura, but that's not fair cause she makes something unique in each album, they are all pieces of art in their own way and conception... Utopia is great too, not really sure about The Gate though (at least I love the intro)...
This song is INCREDIBLE when you're stoned. I usually skipped this song because it was too 'out-there' to listen to sober... but when I was high, the thumbnail got my attention and I started listening to it. Without watching the video, I closed my eyes and felt like I was laying in the middle of a field with light winds, and I started enjoying myself and 'sank' into the song until I felt comfy. Then SUDDENLY I hear these pair of legs (its in the song) running towards me and I FREAK OUT shifting to get out of the way, and then the melody slams into my head and it felt like a warm hug. Literally caught me off guard I gasped for air, I was so stoned 😂 Then the snapping at the end also caught me off guard and brought me back to a safer spot. I loved it. Unfortunately haven't been able to experience it like that ever again, but I definitely appreciate björk's music now more than ever. The DETAIL that goes into the music is incredible. Its beautiful. I'm not saying you HAVE to be high to listen to her music, but being high while listening to her music takes you to a whole different dimension. And tbh, as a depressed hoe, I need that dimension sometimes.
Dear Björk: You're one of the most exquisite artists on musical industry of all times. The effort to offer an experience and the quality of lyrics and melodies is refined too. Thank you, world needs to listen to art again and you have the sensibility to create it.
Ingrid Alcazar I find it funny when people who listen only to mainstream have a feeling that „art” is something endangered and anyone who makes „a true art” is like a savior. The truth is, there are more artists than ever, just take a look outside of the mainstream.
Rafał Dydkiem Machał Art is not something everyone can do. Art requires knowledge, inspiration, hard work, concrete ideas, message. Too many people on musical industry are not a sign of art. Drake or Bèyonce are far away of Björk or Tori Amos because they only offer entertainment. Art is deep and provocates deep emotions; it is not only good voices and funny choreos or popularity.
Ingrid Alcazar why do you hang on mainstream? The difference between our times and past is that most of today’s mainstream music is not something I would call art, but rather just an entertainment. But mainstream music is just a small percentage of the music world. The problem is that most people believe that’s entire music environment. And „art” is not something unreachable nor mystical. There are many people today making better art than ever, because the tools allow to express themselves better.

Abigail Eldritch Oh that we could fake suicides via auto-erotic asphyxiation whilst wearing boots shaped like giant tulips with orange and yellow spiraled stripes and the rest of our bodies wrapped with saran wrap using thick copper wire to strangulate. Oh that we would do this in a lobby of a large tower in downtown Miami to be discovered later that morning by office workers, the media, and emergency services. Oh that we would then suddenly arise like clockwork and sing in Farsi about our fascination with riding on tandem bicycles in Lebanon with large Lebanese women who are psychologists by profession and then construct towers of digital clocks that are covered with green and blue tiles and take turns pushing one another in a wheelbarrow around the towers rigid like robots and in a stop motion formation as we chant in binary code about giant pink dandelions and injecting their petals into our bloodstream and then look upwards and scream for 20 minutes at a constant frequency of 3400 Hz.
Abigail Eldritch Oh I see. Only Björk is allowed to be weird and creative. Where do you have your Björk shrine in your house? Do you sacrifice lambs and goats to honor Björk on an alter?
I love everything about this??? It’s so pretty... even one of my favourite makeup artists worked on this which makes it twice as good :’) i swear björk has the most creative mind :’)
This is one of her best music videos up there with human behavior and I miss you (I know I miss you isn’t for everyone but I love John K.)This is what art is Björk is beautiful in every way she is a cleanser of minds she puts you at peace I can’t describe how amazing Björk is its just impossible.
Here we go again with the IDIOTIC need to trash a celebration of a great video or song. We dont need to think it is under rated. Jackson the rest of the world who lives in Africa or Asia do not need to have that sadness in their minds how this song was Tragically unsuccessful because your neighbors do play this track in Christmas or Thanks Giving. People want to appreciate this Gem of an Art in youtube without People like you, who are so Addicted to using the term Under Rated. Im just really Amused as an ESL speaker, since when did you all decide to make the term Under Rated more popular than Lady Gaga? No, lets get Logical! What makes these postings about Under Rated single very annoying is the ABSENCE OF REASON. Naturally, Bjork is not going to sell records like pan cakes!!! When Madonna asked Bjork to pen her a Single, Madonna was Fully aware Peasants wont buy the single. Madonna spend millions on a music video of a Bjork song, and she doesnt give a damn if 20 years later, morons will call her production under rated. This is nothing person. This is the 12th time, I read the term UNDER RATED in 45 minutes.
AUroRA BoReAliS Exactly, it is So Moronic to keep slapping the term under rated on intelligent people. Can we just feed everyone who uses the term under rated to the starving lions of the Iraqi zoo.
I remember being 8, my Baba excitedly showing me this video when it came out, and watching it on repeat in awe with him. I can't believe how amazing this is.
I am so glad computer generated graphics became advanced enough to handle recreating what goes on in Bjorks mind.
I bet they still aren't where her head is.

this piece shows us how björk is underrated nowadays, despite her precious state of avant-guard... she incorporated a flute ensemble (so there's a kind of classical music inspiration), natural and experimental sounds to create a clear image of her utopic, imaginary and hyperreal world... proving that music touches all the senses

Björk's lyrics are essential if you want to understand her art. Read it below:
Bird species never seen or heard before
The first flute carved from the first fauna
Utopia
It’s not elsewhere
Let's purify
You assigned me to protect our lantern
To be intentional about the light
Utopia
It isn't elsewhere
It’s here
My instinct has been shouting at me for years
Saying, "Let’s get out of here!"
Huge toxic tumour bulging underneath the ground here
Purify, purify, purify, purify toxicity
Shy Stone sounds like they want a cleansing to me. I think the nazis wanted to do that but the Americans stopped them.
Thank you for posting x
I love this: she won’t abandon her troubles and traumas, she is purifying them into something utopic
Sara Dickson she said the same thing in the song "notget":
If I regret us
I’m denying my soul to grow
Don’t remove my pain
It is my chance to heal
This video is the positive pole of notget (the directors are the same too) 😊
have a great weekend!

Jonas Orens bjork hates nature. She is disgusting and should stop her nature hating. She is destroying nature.
Lmfao ! Same bish.
What are you even talking about? Bjork is a nature hater? Since when hahaha. In fact, she's known for voicing her opinion in support of nature. See this, for example, th-cam.com/video/gWAHr6wuByU/w-d-xo.html in that video she's talking about preserving the natural landscape of Icelandic Highlands by creating a national park within it so that the government can't place powerlines and build roads along the area. Also, remember the 'Biophilia' project? This project grew into an educational program that aims to educate children about nature, science, and music through apps. Also remember the single 'Náttúra'? In which she donated all the proceeds to the Náttúra Foundation, the environmental preservation campaign after which the song is named. So, Nah, Bjork and nature hater in a sentence just doesn't make any sense.
lol, word!
Björk is my saviour. Her music saved my life when I tried to commit suicide once. Just saying. I took more than 100 pills and her voice gave me hope so I am grateful. Thank you dearest Björk.
I hope that you are in a different place now. Earth can be so cruel to us but it can also be so full of wonder and discovery most importantly. LOVE
@@susananedo6042 earth is an enigmatic thing.. The more we know, the less we know. Ra's law of one or other new age of love and etc. Is good, but is there really nothing more to it? There seems to be a huge hole in this life... But we are the creator. The best solution to this "sufferings" would be to deem it unable
wow
100 pills of what?
@@bestmesubliminalsandyoutub4305 we can turn that around, and make life vastly, vastly better, give human beings vastly more hope, far more ability to create their own futures, to not be utterly shackled by the political economic systems that the rulers of this earth, a small number of men and women across multiple ethnic backgrounds, impose upon the billions of us. It’s a lot of work, and it may never happen, but the reality is that it IS possible, and also the reality is that those systems as they exist now quite literally cannot continue on existing very much longer… the question is, what comes next. The hope and answer is, the masses of humanity must determine that path communally, together, and not have it imposed by the few who already have all the power and wealth.
Would this create an *actual* utopia? No, it wouldn’t. There would still be suffering. Social problems would still exist, and people would have to accept not getting everything they want all of the time. This is a reality of our being as humans on this earth and mortal coil, that will never end as long as we are. Still, the community of humanity we could build would be able to provide so much more fulfillment, so much more meaning, be so much less oppressive in every way that we desire to escape now, that it is worth it to demand, and to fight for. It will never be given, it can only be taken, and this can only happen when people decide they have had enough, that they must stand together to overcome the world of the present, this anti-utopia. We may not be able to build utopia, but we can build community that rejects this denial of belief in the ideals of utopia, and places so much in the hands of so few, while billions have nothing.. not even hope.
In the meantime, thank god for great art like this, which can give hope, and can help us dream of that better world. We just need to make it more than dream, before reality becomes the nightmare it’s veering towards…
I dont know much about her, but my very first impression about Bjork, is that she is a pure artist.
And her works are pure art :)
You've got that right, bjork is a masterpiece

I smoke marijuana and I'm not a prude, but it saddens me a little bit to read comments saying she's relying on drugs to do her work.
Friendly reminder - what you just saw used to be called "human imagination". And she has a beautiful one.
I totally agree. That mind of hers doesn't need drugs to conjure up these images and sounds. I'm betting that she saw this in her mind, almost exactly as it's presented, long before a single step was taken to make it happen. She is the last of the Norse Gods.
Stan Schurman Yes!
There's also mental illness
Rebekah Hartman Normal people look mentally ill to me.
There are a lot of people who collaborate in creating a music video, for example the makeup artistry/design is from the conceptual artist Hungry (isshehungry on Instagram), as well as other creatives who she selects to realize these works of art. Dismissing their contributions in creating the landscape of Björk’s catalogue of amazing - often groundbreaking - music videos is sad. They are constructed and inspired by amazing minds - including, Björk herself.
But it certainly isn’t a lone enterprise nor simply conjured up by Björk smoking a spliff. It is conjured up by Björk passing that Dutch to people she hires in her projects. 😂🤣
this is so overwhelmingly beautiful. that shade of pink is allegedly supposed to be a relaxant and is used on prison walls to make people calm. but also the music, i kept waiting for the beat drop like 0_0
Lmao. I have no idea where you got that from that prison walls are pink or that someone cares if prison inmates are calm. As a lawyer I have to visit prisons often to see my clients and I can assure you that none of the prison walls are pink.
@@wioi Not all, but there are certainly prisons with pink walls.
@@wioi I know this is really late, but I think they were referring to the colour Baker-Miller Pink, which was theorized by Alexander Schauss to have a calming effect on people. I don't think it turned out to be true, but there is a wikipedia article on it if you're interested! Here's an exerpt:
"In 1979, Schauss managed to convince the directors of a Naval correctional institute in Seattle, Washington to paint some prison confinement cells pink in order to determine the effects this might have on prisoners. "
Interesting comment. I am a composer and i'm convinced that the key of C major is red. This song seems to want to be in C, but I cannot accurately find an actual tonal center here. Other thing, if it really is in C, then the high-winds of the flutes would make the color more pastel: therefore, PINK, as you suggested! I'm actually going to go into analysis of this piece now. Wish me luck!
@@Acoustic-Rabbit-Hole the tone C is associated with the root chakra which, when balanced, helps calm the body and mind.
This album is so beautiful! What a transformation from the pain shared previously in vulnicura. Gorgeous.
The Lune INNATE yup, she was open chested, she was vulnerable but now that scar has turned into a beautiful flower...
Eduardo Niño orchid stands for a vagina
+Shy Stone ...Yeah, and her chest wound was a vagina, have you seen vulnicura's album art? it isn't even subtle
Rather than her wound going away, it just simply took on a new form... It turned into a gate... So it makes sense that it's still vaginal metaphorically
Lemons yes! she didn't delete her sorrow, but she "purified toxicity", so from a wound-vagina to a beautiful orchid-vagina
The Lune INNATE she becoming the creepy dude that killed himself for her
i wouldn't be surprised if they filmed this inside bjork

Majesty so alien yet deeply rooted in the core of humanness. A beautiful piece
Doja: *planet Her*

Bjork is more interested in creating physically experimental and visually memorable moments more so than creating catchy songs. I respect her a lot as an artist. Still watch her videos for her creative visual expressions. Always a genius. Wish I lived 1000 years and she did too just so I could see what she could produce. She’s like a mad scientist of sensory experiences.
I often wondered if Bjork was an Icelandic Elf over the years...this confirms those suspicions.
I watched the whole video from start to finish, the whole 3 minutes and 44 seconds and it felt like only 30 seconds elapsed. I believe that the rest of my time was captivated, soaked somewhere by the art form and it is still residing there until this very day. BRAVO! Bjork.
Truth-Freedom the laughing man ? Are you real
It took me a minute to get into this album but it really is a masterpiece.
She only get weirder, and better with each album. It’s a strange mix, weird and good. It’s like, pushing boundaries is its goal- but not the only goal. Good music is its core!
Same for me. Totally weirded me out at first and now I’ve listened to it like 12 times 😂
Björk is the avant garde goddess, I have an eyegasm because of all this things happening in the video. ARTT!!! BEAUTYY!!

Bjork' s brilliance is so underrated and overlooked. But on the other hand, I guess it's a good thing because then she'd be forced into the madness of the entertainment industry. I would HATE for her pure originality to be tainted and corrupted.

Fun fact! The blue creature is a Glaucus Atlanticus, this is relevant because Glaucus is a hermaphrodite, "having both male and female reproductive organs. Unlike most nudibranchs, which mate with their right sides facing, sea swallows mate with ventral sides facing."
Which is reminiscent of the promo shoot with Bjork wearing a strap on. This also represents that in an ideal world, like Utopia, a creature or human would have both parts.
Edit because there are irritating people in the comments.
I am not insinuating this realistic for our world, I'm talking about the world of UTOPIA. Utopia is a perfect world. Any of you loons who think I'm referring to how to make our world perfect is delusional becuase of people like some of you, it impossible to create a perfect world.
My comment is referring to the world of the video YOU JUST WATCHED. The ideal, perfect, world of Utopia Bjork is showing you, I believe in that world they have both parts. Hermaphrodites. Naturally. That's how that world functions.
fuck yeah dude, thanks for that
Abigail Eldritch Wonderful insight.
Abigail Eldritch yes!!
The nonbinary/intersex takeover starts now!
I think maybe not that they would have both parts, but men are considered so dominant, that shes placed multiple lyrical suggestions that she wants to be able to dominate sometimes, a utopia in which its equal to be a creature with or without a penis
It kinda makes me feel like walking to a magical forest with all of the bird like flutes being heard and to come upon a beautiful voice of a women being awaken, and makes me feel like i can be in a wonderful place... It’s like paradise... And this is what this new album is...
jesús Exactly! :)
Bjork is a musical genius, she's creative & very imaginative. Bjork has no intentions of changing herself just because some people think her music and the way she interprets things is "weird". At least she's being herself & she has the freedom to do what she wants with her music. Bjork is a Queen!
and also only Intellectuals can appreciate & listen to Bjork's music.
Boomin Jjang anyone can listen and appreciate her music, it’s mainly crackheads who do anyway.

The only artist(s) that come to my mind that are comparable in creativeness are/is Dead Can Dance, a band found by both australian singers Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard. They use ancient instruments like the hurdy-gurdy, or the yan-ching (a sorta dulcimer), combine them with unusal and forgotten rythms from all around the world, often put also in some animal sounds like birds or sheep, as well as lots of percussions they record and don't build up electronically. then, they split their singing languages. While Brendan Perry sings in english about issues like democracy, fairness, betrayal or the sadness of life, using often metaphors from ancient greek, lisa gerrard sings with her opera-singer-like alto-voice in a self invented language that sounds actually like a unknown tribal language. sometimes they do really strange stuff. but if you like björk, then believe me, you'll like Dead Can Dance to. despite that, björks videos are beyond good. dead can dance doesn't make all to much videos, but their newest album has one. i will link some videos of them for you.

If you like, check out Agnes Obel, another great musician, using very simple instrumentation but creates a great atmosphere. i could imagine her songs in a netflix series about the 1920s or the industrial British Empire, or a Fairy-like Fantasy-Series. I mentioned The Band DEAD CAN DANCE in a post before, and i read to days ago that they will do a north and south america tour with her as a special guest, whatever that means. sad that i live in europe, but had not the money or the time or the opportunity to visit one of their concerts in germany. But as George R.R. Martin said: "A Boy Can Dream". There is also Florence And The Machine, a band around the british singer Florence Welch. she can sing so powerful, you'll love it for sure. The third musician is kate bush. Veeeeery strange, but cool.

In writing they always say, “show don’t tell.” Bjork is one of the few musical artists who primarily shows through her music. It’s such a gift to the listener.
Artistically, stunning. Although I personally like vulnicura more, this was still magnificent.
Just because you prefer Vulnicura (I do too) doesn't mean Utopia isn't a masterpiece as well. I can't find a bad song in this album, it's incredible
Lucas_14
That’s literally what they just said lol
Lucas_14 but I said it was still awesome. This comment makes no sense.
Before Utopia's release I listened to Vulnicura a few times, and it grew even more in me, I'm always changing my favorite song from that album, now it's Atom Dance, Family and Lionsong... It's one of her best works, along with Vespertine and Homogenic...
And that was the hardest part to me when I listened to Utopia, I kept comparing it with Vulnicura, but that's not fair cause she makes something unique in each album, they are all pieces of art in their own way and conception...
Utopia is great too, not really sure about The Gate though (at least I love the intro)...
Yeah, I think we shouldn't compare Utopia with her other works because they are slightly different musically and conceptionally
This song is INCREDIBLE when you're stoned. I usually skipped this song because it was too 'out-there' to listen to sober... but when I was high, the thumbnail got my attention and I started listening to it. Without watching the video, I closed my eyes and felt like I was laying in the middle of a field with light winds, and I started enjoying myself and 'sank' into the song until I felt comfy. Then SUDDENLY I hear these pair of legs (its in the song) running towards me and I FREAK OUT shifting to get out of the way, and then the melody slams into my head and it felt like a warm hug. Literally caught me off guard I gasped for air, I was so stoned 😂
Then the snapping at the end also caught me off guard and brought me back to a safer spot. I loved it. Unfortunately haven't been able to experience it like that ever again, but I definitely appreciate björk's music now more than ever. The DETAIL that goes into the music is incredible. Its beautiful. I'm not saying you HAVE to be high to listen to her music, but being high while listening to her music takes you to a whole different dimension. And tbh, as a depressed hoe, I need that dimension sometimes.

Dear Björk: You're one of the most exquisite artists on musical industry of all times. The effort to offer an experience and the quality of lyrics and melodies is refined too. Thank you, world needs to listen to art again and you have the sensibility to create it.
Ingrid Alcazar I find it funny when people who listen only to mainstream have a feeling that „art” is something endangered and anyone who makes „a true art” is like a savior. The truth is, there are more artists than ever, just take a look outside of the mainstream.
Rafał Dydkiem Machał Art is not something everyone can do. Art requires knowledge, inspiration, hard work, concrete ideas, message. Too many people on musical industry are not a sign of art. Drake or Bèyonce are far away of Björk or Tori Amos because they only offer entertainment. Art is deep and provocates deep emotions; it is not only good voices and funny choreos or popularity.
"art" lol no. imaginative, yes, creative yes, but thus is not good music, the lyrics suck, and the melody is just trash.
Ingrid Alcazar why do you hang on mainstream? The difference between our times and past is that most of today’s mainstream music is not something I would call art, but rather just an entertainment. But mainstream music is just a small percentage of the music world. The problem is that most people believe that’s entire music environment. And „art” is not something unreachable nor mystical. There are many people today making better art than ever, because the tools allow to express themselves better.
It’s Starbucks music.
What dimension is Bjork from?! I seriously want to go there
Iceland
Infinite Sky why travel? She’s brought it with her. Close your eyes and listen. She sings it’s vibrations.
Whichever you see on acid, I presume
Psychedelics take you exactly there
The Feywild
I love how every album we get at least one fully gorgeous high-end music video.
dude clicked too strong my finger broke. yas queen
Happiness
Color
Women
Future
Nature
This is utopia
You missed the main one: Music ;)
@@SeattleDreams NO
Most importantly: women without men. The original lesbian utopia.
Seattle Dreams No thanks Matriarch=Utopia
you forgot sex
*Björk - Utopia*
Bird species never seen or heard before
The first flute carved from the first fauna
Utopia
It’s not elsewhere
Let's purify
You assigned me to protect our lantern
To be intentional about the light
Utopia
It isn't elsewhere
It’s here
My instinct has been shouting at me for years
Saying, "Let’s get out of here!"
Huge toxic tumour bulging underneath the ground here
Purify, purify, purify, purify toxicity
I love how you can hear Arcas production come thru so smoothly on this track
I hope she never dies. I could barely get over Bowie's death, but if Björk dies, I would be devastated.
same. she really is a treasure and a legend 💛
I haven't seen this kind of astonishing and pure video for a long time. No matter what the sound or view are so dreamy. Nice to meet you, Björk.
'utopia' official music video , ! ... incredibly beautiful visually stunning video 9+ 'utopia' album is so overwhelmingly haunting + beautiful thank you björk . pure musicologist lady of the flute , here comes a moving cover for utopia ! directed by nick thornton jones and warren du preez, we also thank all the original icelandic fluteplayers, choreographer margrét bjarnadóttir, james merry for silicone masks, hungry for make up and heimir sverrisson for our utopian set & chest orchid which was filmed in iceland. - björk ,
bjork is crazy, and thats a compliment
FINALLY we witness the planet bjork came from
Can we talk about the amazing work Hungry is doing? My god
Luis Alvarez I'm feeling hungry.
Luis Alvarez do you mean Hunger? Or Hungary?
Hungry is the makeup artist who worked on this video. IG is isshehungry
Ikr♡ Hungry's amaaazing
a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
björk's alway on some next level.
I guess i was foolish waiting for the beat to drop. Lol
I guess there are no beat drops or climaxes in a utopia! Everything is just serene
@@priscillaosanna9061 😗
LOL!
I don't know about you but I think Bjork has reached godlyhood.
Abigail Eldritch Honey.... It's been years. XD
okay, so where's this religion that worships her and where do i sign up?
Abigail Eldritch Oh that we could fake suicides via auto-erotic asphyxiation whilst wearing boots shaped like giant tulips with orange and yellow spiraled stripes and the rest of our bodies wrapped with saran wrap using thick copper wire to strangulate. Oh that we would do this in a lobby of a large tower in downtown Miami to be discovered later that morning by office workers, the media, and emergency services. Oh that we would then suddenly arise like clockwork and sing in Farsi about our fascination with riding on tandem bicycles in Lebanon with large Lebanese women who are psychologists by profession and then construct towers of digital clocks that are covered with green and blue tiles and take turns pushing one another in a wheelbarrow around the towers rigid like robots and in a stop motion formation as we chant in binary code about giant pink dandelions and injecting their petals into our bloodstream and then look upwards and scream for 20 minutes at a constant frequency of 3400 Hz.
MonasticSolace what the fuck are you talking about? This is why we can't have nice things
Abigail Eldritch Oh I see. Only Björk is allowed to be weird and creative. Where do you have your Björk shrine in your house? Do you sacrifice lambs and goats to honor Björk on an alter?
Björk must have transcended further than anyone else at the moment holy macaroni
I love everything about this???
It’s so pretty... even one of my favourite makeup artists worked on this which makes it twice as good :’)
i swear björk has the most creative mind :’)
This is what "Music instead of Drugs" looks like.
I like the effect.
whatever this is, i want to live in it for the rest of my life
devin corwin it’s a music video. You want to live in a Bjork music video.
devin corwin it’s called Utopia, where everything and everyone should coexist......don’t listen to others.
Me too, beauty and peaceful place, 6 beautiful girls and bjork singing, its paradise
chocolatewheelchair yess agree
There will still be blowjobs, won't there?
Oh Björk, I'm so glad that you can share this world with us, Utopia makes me feel so good. Thanks from Brazil!
This is one of her best music videos up there with human behavior and I miss you (I know I miss you isn’t for everyone but I love John K.)This is what art is Björk is beautiful in every way she is a cleanser of minds she puts you at peace I can’t describe how amazing Björk is its just impossible.
Boba Fett up there xoxo
?
Boba Fett those two are also my favourite videos by her! and i agree, this is definitely up there.
Boba Fett I love I miss you!
Boba Fett u got it
God i want to be inside the mind of björk, just imagine the things she comes up with that never surface-
Her creativity is the biggest inspiration for me to write poems.
Dilara Gulbaglar ♡
Dilara Gulbaglar it's pretty because, I know writing and poems in my late 20 s, not as much I was in my teens. I give up years agp
shanta824 I am 17, my sweetest age maybe, I've been writing for years... Why did you give up?
Can I read one of them?
Judith Hija de Merari That'd be such a big pleasure for me, but they're all in Turkish, my main language. 🙄💙
I would let Björk posses me.
Please possess me Björk.
@Luna im ded
Just dont shoot yourself at the end
That was beautiful and Hungry’s makeup was everything!❣️
Bjork is such a underrated artist, I remember hearing Venus as a boy in Leon the professional and have been hooked Ever since.
she's not underrated, she's not mainstream, that's all
Who told you she is underrated? Lol she is a legend
Here we go again with the IDIOTIC need to trash a celebration of a great video or song. We dont need to think it is under rated. Jackson the rest of the world who lives in Africa or Asia do not need to have that sadness in their minds how this song was Tragically unsuccessful because your neighbors do play this track in Christmas or Thanks Giving. People want to appreciate this Gem of an Art in youtube without People like you, who are so Addicted to using the term Under Rated. Im just really Amused as an ESL speaker, since when did you all decide to make the term Under Rated more popular than Lady Gaga? No, lets get Logical! What makes these postings about Under Rated single very annoying is the ABSENCE OF REASON. Naturally, Bjork is not going to sell records like pan cakes!!! When Madonna asked Bjork to pen her a Single, Madonna was Fully aware Peasants wont buy the single. Madonna spend millions on a music video of a Bjork song, and she doesnt give a damn if 20 years later, morons will call her production under rated. This is nothing person. This is the 12th time, I read the term UNDER RATED in 45 minutes.
AUroRA BoReAliS Exactly, it is So Moronic to keep slapping the term under rated on intelligent people. Can we just feed everyone who uses the term under rated to the starving lions of the Iraqi zoo.
the heavy use of flutes and other blowing-instruments in this album is everything
This is the real upside down.
Stranger Things reference?
What I love the most about Björk is that she's constantly proving that everything can be normal if it's shown properly.
This song and video is so pretty it makes me feel like I’m laying in a mountain where there is sun and peace
Sublime.
Vaginal?
Santeria
Precisely.
I just love how every album has a different theme, feel and mood to it, so whatever I feel like, I will listen to that album
I got goosebumps all over my body. Talented human being you are Mama Björk!
I remember being 8, my Baba excitedly showing me this video when it came out, and watching it on repeat in awe with him.
I can't believe how amazing this is.
