I too seen her live Gerrard, long time ago when she was touring the album post, was a tiny little venue in Dublin Ireland, dropped some acid, and was taken to another universe! Amazing 😍
We have a spotift playlist at work where each of us gets to pick 40 songs that play over the speakers during the day. I work at a used bookstore. It's a great job. :) But....I added this song, and several other Bjork songs. She's a musical genius. And....get this...most of my coworkers MAKE FUN of her singing. Wtf, right? And these people are all smart creative cool people. And they think she "sings like a dying whale." Don't worry though...every time we submit a new playlist, I always include a couple Bjork songs. This last one included Venus as a Boy, Human Behavior, and Joga. I'm trying to start them off easy....picking the poppier stuff. I'm committed to changing their minds lol, it's my mission....although it's not going well.... Wish me luck!
The way the choir sounds live, how beautiful these women are, their outfits...it brings me to tears. Björk is the center, but they add so much to this performance...
I distinctly remember seeing this as a 15 year-old when it aired and trying to convince my little sister that Bjork is better than Britney Spears... I don’t think I ever broke through
You are absolutely right- Björk is quite sophisticated and unique in her music and art, and she's on a level that Britney Spears could never even begin to comprehend.
I had the shock of a lifetime to meet her at a Cannibal Corpse show in L'amour Brooklyn NY. She showed up after her premiere of Dancer in the Dark movie in the city. She was soo nice! She said she was blown away by death metal vocalists lol. So amazing!
Yet another example of how good David Letterman’s sound people were. That kind of brilliant performance would have been lost on other talk shows with muddled audio. This is my favourite video on TH-cam. Thank you for uploading.
That's how I felt about Mariah Carey's Butterfly performance. Letterman's sound people picked up the intricate background work (instrumentals and vocals) while places like SNL totally muddled it.
I've been listening to Bjork for over 20 years and this is the first live performance I've ever seen. This is so so clean and perfect. The placidity on her face as she absolutely smashes you is just....
Fuuuuuuuuuckkkk.... this song still moves me to my core. I love you and utterly appreciate you, Bjork. Thank you so much for your amazing voice and art
Incredible. She destroys me. I think I’ve got my life figured out, I hear her, it all comes crashing back, I don’t know what to do, I’m the same person I was ten, 20 years ago, in that private face that one only shows to oneself in the mirror. I love her so much.
Björk sounds amazing live. Such a unique artist. She has always done whatever the ***uck she wants, full artistic control. Nobody gets to listen to anything till it's done, and that's how you let true artists work. It works perfectly! She knows more about sound and music in general than most musicians out there.
I loved Vespertine when it came out, but looking back, it was really something special, and I’m sad I passed up opportunities to see it toured. This song is just a marvel.

I dont care that i am 62years old from Salrm Oregon USA....i am completely entranced by this woman. First few times i have ever heard her....her voice is just ethereal.......Aurora and Bjork need to tour together and i will pay anything to be there.....
He was more interested in pointing out the native choir and what they were wearing than the song and performance. Bjork looked so awkward at the end sitting in the chair next to him.
Thank you, glad to find another who feels the same. Bjork was stunning. And seeing the music box she envisioned is a bonus. The musicians the choir were great too. Letterman was awful every time.
I'll never forget when this album came out. I liked her previous albums, but Vespertine moved me so much. Still one of my favorite albums from any genre--and my favorite from her entire catalogue.
Admiring the harpist, totally awesome, as is Bork and all the muscians in this totally beautiful auditory tapestry of silky vibes so beautifully woven together, love it, always!!

I'm in awe even after listening to her for over 30 years and she is my favorite female artist of all time... Just speechless her Raw authentic pure passionate spirit that resonates so incredibly powerful you feel it in the depths of your soul... Just Amazing... There's nobody else like her in the world... Such a brilliant creative force who was never afraid to be who she is all unique in her own Raw Power a phenomenally gifted musician and artist... She's a genius and I fall in love with her because she shows who she is from her heart so beautifully done words cannot accurately express how she makes us feel like we just traveled to another world full of pure raw emotion and truth... Absolutely beautiful...💖🔥🔥💖💖🙌
the next week, they brought the latin class into the german class, because the german class had the tv. I remember most of us watching in dread as the second plane hit and I remember the group of boys in the back of the class that was talking and not taking it seriously, and I think about how much hate and anger I carry for those kids to this day. Anyways, Bjork is great.
Still using baby noise “lol” and yes letter uses one wrong word, but Björk has received more than 130 awards from more than 250 nominations., so little Cruz, tell us about your fantastic achievements. Other than you use “lol” STILL
So surreal seeing her promote this album on Jay Leno and David Letterman of all places, although Letterman was a bit more eclectic in his musical guests.
I am privileged to have seen here live
I too seen her live Gerrard, long time ago when she was touring the album post, was a tiny little venue in Dublin Ireland, dropped some acid, and was taken to another universe! Amazing 😍
@kountreepimp38 really hope you get to see her too, would love to see her live again, shame she doesn't tour here much anymore 😒
I saw her from the front row this year bro 😎 She still got it
que bom
👏👏👏👏👍
This is what every musician should be: unique, eclectic and original.

@@avedic If everyone had the same taste we'd just be a bunch of clones, is that what you really want?

Britney is pretty good Umm
I love both!!
You are absolutely right- Björk is quite sophisticated and unique in her music and art, and she's on a level that Britney Spears could never even begin to comprehend.
Bjork’s singing is yet to b matched. It’s innocent, playful, child-like naive while sensual, sexy, and cathartic to the fullest..
That crowd was blessed
Free tickets!!! And they got to see God.
hauntingly beautiful. thank god for this woman.
Yes indeed.
@MorbidManMusic stfu snowflake
MorbidManMusic Someone's insecure lmao
It's really music
Amén 🙏 i couldn't agree more
Bjork is a genius in her own right.
Lastima la Björk ahora proenculado obligada
I'd say she's a genius periodt
I had the shock of a lifetime to meet her at a Cannibal Corpse show in L'amour Brooklyn NY. She showed up after her premiere of Dancer in the Dark movie in the city. She was soo nice! She said she was blown away by death metal vocalists lol. So amazing!
Bad ass
Classic Bjork move. One of the many reasons she's awesome!
ngl that wouldve fit in so well in medullá

You can hear bass so well. Really great sound engineers.
That's the one thing I give him credit. People always sound good on his show.
That's how I felt about Mariah Carey's Butterfly performance. Letterman's sound people picked up the intricate background work (instrumentals and vocals) while places like SNL totally muddled it.
Cbs is glovalist garbage ,
Poor Americans . Brilliant Bjork
Pretty sure the instrumental is just a backing track? So pretty easy to mix with the vocals.
I really like this performance of Pagan Poetry. Björk’s vocals are great, the choir are cool, music is awesome and they all look fantastic.
Love bjork
Very true
I've been listening to Bjork for over 20 years and this is the first live performance I've ever seen. This is so so clean and perfect. The placidity on her face as she absolutely smashes you is just....
For two more of her most incredible live vocals, search youtube for Jools Joga and Jools Bachelorette
The ... first? Where've you been?
The Greenland choir is...AMAZING
Fuuuuuuuuuckkkk.... this song still moves me to my core. I love you and utterly appreciate you, Bjork. Thank you so much for your amazing voice and art
She's gorgeous
Incredible. She destroys me. I think I’ve got my life figured out, I hear her, it all comes crashing back, I don’t know what to do, I’m the same person I was ten, 20 years ago, in that private face that one only shows to oneself in the mirror. I love her so much.
the harp sounds like snowfall
Truly beautiful
Such a description!! Respect to you.

The greatest vocalist of all time
This is pure art. Only Björk, Only she!!!
What a devastating, jaw dropping performance. It made me stop in my tracks. One of the all time greats. Pure passion, heart and artistry!
Not only does she write music, she designs and makes her clothes!
and produces songs
jajaj please its Alexander McQueen
She wore a lot of Alexander McQueen
I love this live version, the chorus sounds so clean...
To live through this era is unexplainable. I can’t put it in words. Life can’t be rewritten to explain it.
Every generation claims the same. No such thing as best era. But good for you and your nostalgia.
@@LizEsc this might actually bit it tho playa
I love her so much.
You love her, you love her, you love her, you love her.
she makes me know i am alive by the chills. my heart electrified to five times its normal size.
I literally had a inner body shiver from the top of my heat that shivered all the way to my brain. Magic!
melody tears soul apart and after pause you hear like parts floating in the space while they telling "she loves him"
this performance gave me chills.

Please give us an update on this
@@rhysnymph4444 LMAOOO

If Venus as a boy doesn't do it nothing will
Oh man, the crush i had on this girl when i was a teenager back then. She s just so darn cute when she sings
I dont care that i am 62years old from Salrm Oregon USA....i am completely entranced by this woman. First few times i have ever heard her....her voice is just ethereal.......Aurora and Bjork need to tour together and i will pay anything to be there.....
I like how the background singers are bopping on beat.
I love her little curtsey of thanks when she finishes!
Best performance I have ever seen on Letterman.
Oh come on letterman, he looks so underwhelmed after the performance, i would be weeping at her feet
No kidding! I got misty eyed just watching this. If I ever saw her live, I’d be bawling the whole time.
He was more interested in pointing out the native choir and what they were wearing than the song and performance. Bjork looked so awkward at the end sitting in the chair next to him.
@@Music-tg5is To be fair, and I am a huge fan of hers, but she generally looks awkward in show-based interviews!
Thank you, glad to find another who feels the same. Bjork was stunning. And seeing the music box she envisioned is a bonus. The musicians the choir were great too.
Letterman was awful every time.
I had the privilege of meeting Bjork and she's very intelligent, funny, and took time to speak with me. Love Bjork!!
Man, she's always a decade ahead of its time.
When the harp strikes
I'll never forget when this album came out. I liked her previous albums, but Vespertine moved me so much. Still one of my favorite albums from any genre--and my favorite from her entire catalogue.
I've come across this on 9/4/23, twenty two years from the day. i love björk so much ❤
Inimitable. Inventif, étrange, incroyable, tout simplement. Merci Björk👍🏻
One of the most creative popular musicians of all time.
Admiring the harpist, totally awesome, as is Bork and all the muscians in this totally beautiful auditory tapestry of silky vibes so beautifully woven together, love it, always!!
An Actual Artist. Hail Björk.

que lindo seu relato!!!
The year 2021, almost the year 2022 ... and I still have goosebumps.
2017 y volveré en 2067
stunning. I’m crying.
Never be afraid to experiment outside the box. Absolutely loving what Bjork does. Loving who she is. And I am the him she loves!
Björk's sound is epic. 💓She's one of a kind. Phenomenal performance at Letterman.
the harmonies of this song are so perfect that I want to cry
She is so unique , we don’t deserve Björk 😍
2:35 that belting she does there takes me somewhere magical ❤
240p we meet again.
Absolutely SUBLIME! Saw her last week in London. Have never seen a show as amazing as that...... Just beyond!
You don't just listen to Bjork. You experience her.
She looks amazing...
I'm reminded of all the very serious feelings I had at age 17....
It's 2020 now and this song still gets me! And it's LIVE!!!! 📱😺💛
aired 7 days before twenty years of trauma spirals

Adored this mad genius since high school. She even curtsies; 2-cute ;-)
i'm obsessed with this performance. absolutely breathtaking.
Wow this performance was just a week before September 11, 2001.
Yeah a lot of stuff happened a week before 9/11

Absolutely beautiful on every level.

Goddess from another dimension.
Björk, please get back to your Vespertine era, cause it was extraordinary.....
Que maravilla, esta es una de mis top 5 canciones de bjork forever
cuál es tu top?
Should have millions of views.
Wow the fact this was seven days before the big tradegy in 9/11.
Stunning track, stunning artist, for me top ten in the list of world's finest artists, male/female or group, bjork mesmerises me, ❤️❤️❤️
Such a great cd!!!
My favorite from her
Fantastic
Simplemente maravillosa, así como las y los músicos que siempre la han acompañado. Maravillosos.
There is no one like Bjork..
Beutiful this is what a musical genius looks like amazing
Preciosa Bjork tu voz incomprensible y tu belleza desamparada siempre me gustarán e inquietaran
Ok I'm 26 and never really got into Bjork before, but this REALLY reminds me of Coco Rosie! Cool!!
One of my favourite albums
she is so magical
it's a pleasure listening to Bjork
One of the most important artists of our time.
I'm going to slip away to this song ....... and leave it on repeat!!
it's very lovely
love her man😩
Anyone know who made her dress? Could she be anymore perfect? I don't think I love any musician as much as I love her! Perfection!
Melissa Restagno
I seem to remember Letterman asking about the dress and the choir's and she sais it was traditional Icelandic.
Victor and Rolf made that dress I believe.
She bought it at the last remaining Sears & Roebuck in Iceland.
alexandre mathieu
vespertine by far my favorite of all her children
Incredible how she could reproduce this live
