This is her all time best song for me. There’s a lot of contenders but this is the one I’ll listen to any time, even when I haven’t listened to Björk for a while. I don’t think I’ve ever skipped it.
She’s absolutely superb. Björk is such a phenomenal artist in every sense with an extraordinary creative range that harnesses and conveys emotions so powerfully. Would definitely recommend exploring more of her work, maybe live performances like these of her earlier work: Hyperballad th-cam.com/video/-W5OfUzwyyw/w-d-xo.html Bachelorette th-cam.com/video/FAfusFf2XNE/w-d-xo.html Army of Me th-cam.com/video/_KOn4cTzEEU/w-d-xo.html Big Time Sensuality th-cam.com/video/kly6AiNJ0bU/w-d-xo.html
@@mariotoro6927what’s really shocking is that she had nodules, had surgery to remove them, and her voice sounds practically the same still. Usually that surgery will change a voice, at least a little.
She produces all of her own stuff and writes and arranges much of the orchestral/string arrangements. This performance was completely acoustic but she is a complete pioneer in electronic music and sampling as well. A true musical genius.
Nice reaction. Weird? Yes some kind of weirdness in her music and stage presence. I follow her since her debut album, called Debut (1992), with a very good song, Human Behavior. She is rather versatile in her music, Artpop, avant garde, electronica, experimental music, pop, jazz. Seen her once, was impressed. Still listen to her music once in a while.
You couldn't have picked a better intro to Bjork than this live performance on Jools Holland's show. Please listen to the other song she did that night, Bachelorette. The live vocal is extraordinary and mesmerising. It's on TH-cam, include Jools in the search and check she is wearing the same dress ;-)
Lmao your live reaction is so me. It’s a lot of 🤨🤨🤨🤨 then when you’re past the first 30 seconds or so you realize how emotional the music is. She’s real
This entire album is amazing. Bjork in general is one of the few artists that hits me right in the feels so consistently, whether live or studio recordings. I recommend All is Full of love, the music video version, but focus on the music, as great as the video is the music is stunning.
I had the pleasure of seeing Bjork live in 2008 and she had at least half of the audience holding each other and crying. She's absolutely perfect. I'd look into some of the Royal Opera House performances. She, like Aurora, is best experienced in live performances, although her videos are always interesting and beautiful. You should also look into some videos of Bjork talking about her music. I think her and Aurora are very similar in a lot of ways, and I believe Aurora cites Bjork as an inspiration.
Your comments are exactly how I felt, but maybe couldn't articulate as well, the first time I heard her. What you picked up on with her being in tune with non-materialistic things, is absolutely true. Her music is almost a sonic expression of nature and really speaks to her upbringing in Iceland. In the studio version of this she actually samples the cracking and shifting of glaciers and mixes it into the percussion. My favorite song of all time and I'm so lucky to have seen her perform it last month. Great review!
I first heard bjork when I was 18 - i think the first thing i heard was 'regina' with her in the sugarcubes and also 'birthday' which was also her in the sugarcubes. And then when she went solo - joga is one of my favourites definitely. she does sound like she's channelling some sort of otherworldly energy; I get that. She just lets go.
You definitely understand the great performer that she is. I would recommend reacting to more live versions of her songs, for example: Come to me Live at Cambridge th-cam.com/video/4x-l0sRO_ls/w-d-xo.html A TV show performance of So Broken with killer vocals th-cam.com/video/zBSbZ06uxa8/w-d-xo.html I Miss You at Shepherds Bush Empire. EPIC th-cam.com/video/QJjtYz3USU8/w-d-xo.html
You should listen to more björk, she is what you call an artist from all perspectives. Her hidden place performance from Biophlia tour is one of a kind. Great commentary.
Hot damn that was the first time i saw this performance of this song. That was intense emotion. Really hits you hard almost to tears. This version didnt even have all the instruments and cool beat.
Thanks for this video. Most people fail to appreciate Bjӧrk's music because of her "weirdness" or whatever. You, instead, let the music sink in and really felt it. And yes, once you get Bjӧrk, it's damn rewarding.
I have seen performances where she moves quite randomly. I think that she has no inhibitions and lets her body do, whatever it wants to do. It's like children when they dance, when they still haven't learned sense of ridiculousness. You'll know what I mean, If you chech a performance when she was with Tapi Tikarras. Not 100 % sure about the name of the group.
Björk makes me cry
Yes björk, the Icelandic goddess of music
Björk always gets me. You should definitely check out more of her stuff. She is amazing.
Composer...poet....muse.....Goddess
Her art is "strange" in a magnificent and unique way. Her songs have layers, she is the opposite of obvious.
One of the most beautiful songs ever made.

Hyperballad and bachelorette are top tier
I recently got to see her live and 20+ years later, she can still do it just the same as you see here. Stunning.
Same here, it was shocking how well preserved her voice is

This woman's voice, look, and whole vibe is otherworldly. She is a living, breathing goddess of some form
Björk is one of the greatest artists of the time.. She is truly amazing!!
i cant believe there are people who dont know who she is and hear one of her songs for the first time in 2022 hah! shes so amazing
I love your analysis, she’s incredible, it’s amazing how some people can channel their music
Love that you loved her! I recommend you to listen to the album version of this song.... talk about emotional..!!!
Nice reaction.

I like that you didn't interrupt his performance with comments like others do. Bjork is one of my favorite singers

She’s incredible. A once in a generation talent. Dissolve into this.
Also, find Dancer in the Dark. Enough said.

So broken by Björk is a hidden masterpiece ❤️ I truly recommend
Totally agree. A true hidden gem

Bjork is a alien goddess
Voice of an angel
Please listen to her Studio Album! It‘s so much more touching with all the effects.
That string arrangement reminds me of aspects of Henryk Gorecki's Symphony #3. Beautiful
Bro, dig in. She is on her own, incomparable. The first 4 albums are just perfect. My fave is Vespertine.
So welcome to one of our geniuses of our time!
If you get a chance, "Pagan Poetry" is just as strange and wonderful I think. :)
Bjork is a GENIUS!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
You definitely understand the great performer that she is. I would recommend reacting to more live versions of her songs, for example:
Come to me Live at Cambridge

I Miss You at Shepherds Bush Empire. EPIC

Hidden place. Pagan poetry. The gate. And from her new album, Ancestress and Atopos.
You should listen to more björk, she is what you call an artist from all perspectives. Her hidden place performance from Biophlia tour is one of a kind. Great commentary.
this kid is insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hot damn that was the first time i saw this performance of this song. That was intense emotion. Really hits you hard almost to tears. This version didnt even have all the instruments and cool beat.
More Bjork! "Come To Me", "Human Behavior", "Isobel", "Bachelorette", "Hunter", "All is Full of Love", :It's Not Up to You", "Undo", "Pagan Poetry"
I now get why some people compare Aurora to her. Not the voice, but the quirkiness and authentic emotional performances.
no way
Really love this reaction, i recomend Cocoon
Thanks for this video.

She's just very personal. But look at LFO and Mark Bell.
