I’ve watched like 40 covers of this song today. This is one of the best. It’s one of the only versions that is honest. This song only works when the singer is clearly telling the truth
LYRICS We live on a mountain, right at the top This beautiful view from the top of the mountain Every morning, I walk towards the edge And throw little things off Like car parts, bottles, and cutlery Or whatever I find lying around It's become a habit, a way to start the day I go through all this Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you I go through all this Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you It's real early morning, no one is awake I'm back at my cliff, still throwing things off I listen to the sounds they make on their way down I follow with my eyes as they crash Imagine what my body would sound like slamming against those rocks And when it lands Will my eyes be closed or open? I go through all this Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you I go through all this Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you I go through all this Safe up here with you Safe up here with you Safe up here with you Safe up here with you Safe up here with you Safe up here with you Safe up here with you Safe up here with you
I'm not sure what to make of this. Then again, I wasn't sure what to make of the first time I heard the Sugarcubes. Guess I'll have to listen to this again sometime. ;)
If any of you are going to give a critique at least know the correct name of the instrument. It's a xylophone not a tambourine and I think the timing is intentional. Just saying🍎🍊.
I think it could've gone without the tambourine rushing the beat during the verses. Personally I think it could do without the tambourine all together, replacing it with an egg shaker maybe. This is still a beautiful cover nonetheless, well done
it's OK. too much pausing and such. it's better when it's a continuous flow of vocals against the soothing sound of the music. i'd give it a strong 6/10
Não curti...estão simplesmente interpretando a musica do jeito deles, não estão "sentindo a musica" na essência, esse é o diferencial das musicas da Bjork.
I appreciate that opinion and I don’t discount it. But this is also a song that is sung primarily in the second person. The “you” in this song is extremely present throughout.
jambebejam it's on the last 8th note of the bar, it's an arrangement choice, not a mistake 💕 people get used to straight rhythms so anything unusual sounds off xxx

I was 14 when this song was special part of a very hard time in my life in the 90’s … Good job

LYRICS
We live on a mountain, right at the top
This beautiful view from the top of the mountain
Every morning, I walk towards the edge
And throw little things off
Like car parts, bottles, and cutlery
Or whatever I find lying around
It's become a habit, a way to start the day
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
It's real early morning, no one is awake
I'm back at my cliff, still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make on their way down
I follow with my eyes as they crash
Imagine what my body would sound like slamming against those rocks
And when it lands
Will my eyes be closed or open?
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
I go through all this
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Good Night that was amazing….!

I'm not sure what to make of this. Then again, I wasn't sure what to make of the first time I heard the Sugarcubes.
Guess I'll have to listen to this again sometime. ;)

Most sound very bland - but your take is truly unique
Nice

Robyn covers Bjork's Hyperballad

Holy shit you're a douche
Also, just so you know, "*Insert anythink here*Project" type usernames are instant ignore status on youtube.
SiriusTexra instant ignore status, yet you managed to reply to my comment? you are a basket full of stupidity, aren't you?

i think its wrong to have harmonies when singing this. its a song about inner solitude.
Try to imagine harmonies as echoes on the mountain :)
this could be inner voices
Harmony creates emotional tension. In the original it was accomplished with the orchestra.
I appreciate that opinion and I don’t discount it. But this is also a song that is sung primarily in the second person. The “you” in this song is extremely present throughout.
Nice try.
I don't get why people take Bjork's wonderful music and force it through such a narrow palatable medium.
Tambourine is completely out of time

Its like lessening to a dying whale. Ssssssss.what the f*ck is that SOUND? A minute in. Im out.✊👈
love it !
