She's not "weird". She marches to a beat of different drum, that's all. People who do this are the most courageous people on earth because they don't care what others think about them. They are doing what makes THEM happy. To live like this is to live free. I have total respect for her mother, because she discovered the secret of life.
The stuff she does is normal in Asia. Esp in Japan, China, India and of course in Bepal and Tibet where people are a lot more spiritual than d rest of d world
I'm fascinated by the lyric on 'Ancestress' which goes, "Did you punish us for leaving? Are you sure we hurt you? Was it not just living?" I came here to try to understand this woman and her relationship with her daughter. I guess all relationships between a person and their mother is complex. I hope they were at peace with each other by the end.
This interview would have been better if the questions were just "normal" and not awkward and "weird." Such a shame because Bjork's mom seems like an interesting, gentle, kind, spiritual, and down to earth person. I see a lot of Bjork in her, and a lot of her in Bjork. But they're both individuals in their own right.
Vanessa Clark Not only that but the condescending way the interviewer spoke to her, like when Hildur said she was making a record, the way Patty replied was obnoxious, to say the least. Definitely an air of talking down to people she thinks are weird or inferior. I just hope that after it she realised that she was wrong about that. She wouldn't have been like that if Bjork had been there.
saviours of young iceland that's being teared apart...pure activists eco-environmental saving icelandic nature untouched awareness , like mother hildur rúna hauksdóttir, like daughter björk guðmundsdóttir, and meny other's on this issue, 'let's break this curse' god bless you hildur. ;(
I don't like that they think she's weird, there's no such thing as "weird", it's fun and gratifying to call anything alittle different "weird". she should call the other ones weird, but ofcourse that wont do anything because theyre a majority, and a majority always wins. if a billion people say the sky is purple, that means, the sky is purple, no more debate.
Very nice comment, I think the same way. People should seek internal strength instead of external strength(power over others, materialism, money) I hope in the future more people will think like us. Love and Light.
You'd have to be Dutch to know the presenter, but You'd be hard-pressed to find a more unsuitable, more superficial media person from Holland to do this interview. Shame Bjork's mom wasn't warned. Disrespectful is the word.
I agree, i'am Dutch so i understand what she saying. What i don't understand is why they sent Patty Brard for a interview. The woman is a wased upp hasbyin with a drinking problem, and no media scills what so ever. But apart form all that, now we now where Björk gets here creativite from.
TheAz09aAz I don't know who the interviewer is but she definitely struck me as being rude. I imagine she'd be better suited interviewing people who really think simply banging pots and pans together is all it takes to make an album.
they're extreme minimalist's, still living humbly, with money, appreciating what the world has to offer,not stuff,quite refreshing, makes me want to get rid of all my junk and go do some yoga
She is a beautiful woman with a beautiful unique mind as well. I found it really rude to ask whether people thought she was weird. You don't ask that that type of question to a person in her own house. Pretty disrespectful. I enjoyed knowing Björk's mom through this video, though.
It starts with the mother. I’m kidding, I love Björk and her mum seems cool. I can relate. My kids are weird because of me too lol! Some say weird, some say open.
The mother seems very down to earth and gentle. But one thing bothered me....it seems she had no desire to praise her daughter or have any pride in her talent and accomplishments. Maybe it was just the editing by this rude interviewer?
+Carla Withac +Eo Have to agree. If the woman wasn't unconditionally proud of her daughter, as all parents should be, I doubt Bjork would have the self confidence to be the astonishing artist she is.
+Carla Witha Can you imagine how many times she has been asked about Bjork. How many times no one has looked at her as a unique person, not just the mother of a famous artist? I can see in this woman a lot of what is in Bjork. I think she is proud of her daughter but also wants to express who she is. After all you can see in Bjork a lot of her mother.
+Carla Withac Her mother is very spiritual woman, an ex hippie and somewhat lives by that philosophy. An activist in her own right but Björk is loud and extroverted (even though she comes across as the exact opposite) She has said in an interview even though they are close they don't really have a typical mother daughter relationship and she somehow is saddened by that.
@frozenwarning it was bjorks home not Hildurs. And bjork complained in an interview to ID magazine in 1995 that she had been showing journalists around her flat in Iceland without telling her. That’s how I know.
That's a big house , i wish it was mine. Id like to see the kitchen and bed rooms and the bathroom 🙄i like to look up at a cilling faraway is my dream home 🙂👍
The fight for the conservation of nature, and our own dignity, is faced with the materialists. All the money is intended for superficial things, to submit to others, and to create a dictatorial system based on theris rules. Sensitive people who have something to show, I try to be free, which has internal magic, a wonderful truth in it, almost always is avoid by people who only seek power, appearance, simplicity, .Be happy Hildur. From this miserable place of Spain without magic or hope. Carlos
Patty Brard is Dutch and so am I (as in, I know how she is). Knowing how Patty can act these days, I could not think of a bigger misfit then Patty interviewing the mother of Björk.
I feel like she's a better person than Bjork, she seems nicer. Bjork beat a lady in Thailand, and sometimes seems cold. Her mom is very sweet and calm.
LOL - vanuit huidig perspectief, ja 🙂 Maar toen was dat allemaal nog niet. Ze zat financieel aan de grond (weten we nu) en er moest geld op de plank komen. Ze ging reportages maken voor RTL4 - en ik vond toen dat ze dat niet onverdienstelijk deed. In ieder geval serieus 🙂 Wel wat onhandig/onbeholpen in wat voor vragen ze stelt inderdaad.
It is not a perfect proof. We subtitle all our tv programs and hear all sorts of english. If I am talking to a person from britain I kind of change the accent to fit the person, happens aswell with african person. But still then I am forcing it. I dont feel like I am forcing an accent when i use the "icelandic" version, cause thats how the sounds coem natural to me. So there
Hildur, Thank you for giving birth to Bjork.
CobaltNight and for mothering her and for being HILDUR herself because she is lovely on her own.
Icelandic people look Chinese. They are, literally, white Chinese.
Uvedale Wood they come from the same mixture as ppl in Russia and Siberia, a mixture of Inuit and Vikings
@@uvedalewood1826 Very accurate description!👏
@@leighannamarie3992 *She died. Not too long ago....*
Woah now i understand why Bjork is so creative and spiritual. Her mom rocks.
Heck yeah!
""The more I travel, the more I want to live here." That must feel good, being exactly where you want to be.
"Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home," as the saying goes.
She's not "weird". She marches to a beat of different drum, that's all. People who do this are the most courageous people on earth because they don't care what others think about them.

Isn't that what weird means? :)
AMEN to that. Love from Mexico
Depends..could also be because you have some neurodevelopmental or mental issues.
Weird (wyrd) originally meant to have supernatural control over one’s destiny. I see it as a compliment.
Her mother at the time of the interview is the same age as as Björk is now
Gunnhild Edwards WOW
*and bEAUtiful*
Yup she is definitely Björk's moms, makes me smile. I'm sure I don't notice it but I probably make the same gestures as my folks too.
Her smile after playing that sound is so captivating. As sweet as Björk herself. Thank U 4 sharing this video.
she passed away in 2018, may she rest in peace
I'm fascinated by the lyric on 'Ancestress' which goes, "Did you punish us for leaving? Are you sure we hurt you? Was it not just living?"

Yes, the interviewer sucked..
Lovely woman. Can see Bjork's spiritual underpinnings.
Thanks for this. Never seen Mama Bjork. I can hear Bjork's vocal tones in her mother's voice. Very cool!
I want a copy of the Bowl's recording. I love it.
Steven Alexander Yes, I was getting entranced with just the bit we heard.
Me toooooo
@@memotronic697 *go ask jesse and/or jackson smith_*
I so love and respect how she said "She wouldn't want to be in her shoes"...
Bjork's mom sound so sweet. So down to earth and nice. I'd love to meet her. ❤️
bjorks mum is cool .. good family vibes
Her mother is and was a great influence on Bjork's interest in the abstract. Hands down.
Bjorks mom is awesome
saviours of young iceland that's being teared apart...pure activists eco-environmental saving icelandic nature untouched awareness , like mother hildur rúna hauksdóttir, like daughter björk guðmundsdóttir, and meny other's on this issue, 'let's break this curse' god bless you hildur. ;(

THIS IS WHY BJORK IS INDIGOO
Hi! Do u think Madonna is indigo too?
Somebody You wanna know Madonna is a golden girl. Indigo soul
omg bjork is a copy of her mother, they look alike and are both incredibly polite and awkward and quirky and artistic in their viewpoints.
Björk looks more like her father
le agradezco a esa mujer por haber concebido a un ser maravilloso , innovador, talentoso, un genio de la musica como lo es bjork!
Her mom is so laid back and open. I bet she'd let baby Bjork fingerpaint an entire room in the house and not care.
She looks like an older version of her daughter and she even has the same voice!
You can really see the inspiration Bjork got from her mother.
The apple definitely didn't fall far from the tree with Björk! Her mom is just as fascinating.
i love the house architechture, Iceland was already too modern by that time in 1994
Hildur is a mysterious, beautiful woman.
Pause at 4:38.
The face of a wise and powerful Völva.
Very nice comment, I think the same way. People should seek internal strength instead of external strength(power over others, materialism, money) I hope in the future more people will think like us. Love and Light.
Mom has to be proud. It's hard enough to raise a kid. Harder still to be someone who can inspire her daughter the way she must have.
Icelanders are like people from Hyrule.
u r alex jones
Perfect statement
I exploded in laughs after read this
😂
you're so right
And now that she's dead, her daughter dedicated to her a whole album
her mom was so nice and cuteee
She is full of mystery also. Very attractive, intelligent and gentile lady.

Exactly my first thought. Had to see Patty Brard's name in the credits to be convinced she actually was interviewing the mother of Björk
evert anders Looks like Patty Brard has a fan
@@evertanders7744 Tjonge, jij kan er wat van, zeg. Ben je hier nou een beetje trots op?
What a beautiful person.
Lol her mum is obsessed with mountains too. This makes me so happy.
Rest in peace...
:o
She actually asked her if she's weird LOL
she is a beautiful woman!
How can I purchase a copy of Hildur's music? What is it called? I loved it!!
they're extreme minimalist's, still living humbly, with money, appreciating what the world has to offer,not stuff,quite refreshing, makes me want to get rid of all my junk and go do some yoga
Extreme? I wouldn't call that extreme minimalistic. That's a pretty fancy house, and certainly not a place I could afford.
Ahhahahhahahah
@@alukuhito for having a net worth of 20 million ide call that pretty minimalistic
RIP Hildur.
Bjork talk like her mom and same smile too 😁
She is a beautiful woman with a beautiful unique mind as well. I found it really rude to ask whether people thought she was weird. You don't ask that that type of question to a person in her own house. Pretty disrespectful. I enjoyed knowing Björk's mom through this video, though.
Wonderful Woman, and would love to thank her for Bringing us Bjork. 💫
seus olhos, nariz e boca, o jeito de olhar, iguais a filha!!!! lindaaaaaa!!!
*She's beautiful ..And I thank GOD for being **#Dutch** X*
*..and i also thank God for being born in Suriname*
Thank you ❤
she is mesmerising as Bjork is!
She gets her amazingness from her mom ^_^
It starts with the mother. I’m kidding, I love Björk and her mum seems cool. I can relate. My kids are weird because of me too lol! Some say weird, some say open.
Her mum seems great, it must have been great being in a family that loved music. What's her record called, I'd loved to listen to it
So cooool video , thank youuu!!!
Cool mum!
björk looks so much like her! rest in peace.
Bjorks mom shes amazing ❤
The mother seems very down to earth and gentle. But one thing bothered me....it seems she had no desire to praise her daughter or have any pride in her talent and accomplishments. Maybe it was just the editing by this rude interviewer?

+Gunnhild Edwards Oh ok. That's interesting
+Carla Withac, given such a pervading spiritual background, praise and pride are unnecessary to both mother and daughter.
excellent documentary, so prescious ;)
Bjork must have loved her mom showing journalists around her home when she’s away!
@frozenwarning thank you for telling me what I already knew. But she clearly didn’t ask her daughter.
@frozenwarning it was bjorks home not Hildurs. And bjork complained in an interview to ID magazine in 1995 that she had been showing journalists around her flat in Iceland without telling her. That’s how I know.
Wow! That Tibetan singing bowl is beautiful!
beautiful!!!!!
she actually seems like a very tough mom i think
Hildur thank you for being how you ar
""The more I travel, the more I want to live here." The more I travel to Iceland, the more I want to live in Iceland.
She sound just like bjork, wow!
I love singing bowls totally new age my kinda ppl!
entonces lo de bjork ya viene de familia
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. She seems out there just like her kid. I think in a good way though.
Honestly, it seems like this is exactly what this interviewer did. She'd probably talk to you for a while.
Bjork has the same accent aw
"Patty Brard " interviewer name sounds like "party hard"...
I love sound bowls
Wow such a COOL lady as for the interviewer i have no words to describe her
That's a big house , i wish it was mine. Id like to see the kitchen and bed rooms and the bathroom 🙄i like to look up at a cilling faraway is my dream home 🙂👍
RIP

Thank you for Bjork's birth.
Ojala estas entrevistas estuvieran en español
Interesting to made aware that Bjork is so spiritual.
hildur rúna hauksdóttir, + björk guðmundsdóttir, fortune teller + icelandic pop warrior .
oh my god
Björk looks so much like her!
Same voice of bjork when she speak!!
Patty Brard is Dutch and so am I (as in, I know how she is). Knowing how Patty can act these days, I could not think of a bigger misfit then Patty interviewing the mother of Björk.
I concur.
R.I.P
2:01 That look. She knows. :)
I thought we were going to talk about bjork here but we get singing balls lady 😕
She look's really cool, like is Goddess daughther
Bjork sounds like her
Her mother's house....
Bjork mom is so hip and cool 😎
I feel like she's a better person than Bjork, she seems nicer. Bjork beat a lady in Thailand, and sometimes seems cold. Her mom is very sweet and calm.
rip!
The worst thing that can happen, being interviewed by Patty Brard.

Wel wat onhandig/onbeholpen in wat voor vragen ze stelt inderdaad.
yes, i believe it is!
her mother is the perfect proof that bjork forces her own accent to look exotic, since her mother's is so much lighter.
It is not a perfect proof. We subtitle all our tv programs and hear all sorts of english. If I am talking to a person from britain I kind of change the accent to fit the person, happens aswell with african person. But still then I am forcing it. I dont feel like I am forcing an accent when i use the "icelandic" version, cause thats how the sounds coem natural to me. So there
Tinna Gunnur Bjarnadóttir Björk does exaggerate her own accent.
Gunnhild Edwards Ýkja og þvinga er ekki það sama, ég dett yfirleitt í íslenska hreiminn sér í lagi ef ég er undir pressu
I think too that björk acts her accent on purpose because when she's singing her pronouncing and accent is gone.
Additon So are most british singers.
