I really love the contrast of her message; having confidence in yourself because you have more control of your life than you think, versus the night vision/ creepy music video as she smiles while singing in the dark. I feel like it's sort of a depiction of how we are all in the dark as we progress in our life. We will never know what the future hold of us but we can be confident in knowing we did enough, that we tried, and at least we handled what we can control is in our hands to the best of our ability. despite the uncertainty life has in store for us. So why be fearful in the dark? Bjork is embracing this uncertainty in her music video by dancing in the dark. Inviting us to do the same.
I have her first recording as a child, singing Icelandic stories...many years ago... She is a Genius Goddess! I am always thrilled when anything new comes out...even older stuff.
Sample track is "Clouds" by Gigi Masin, also famously sampled by Nujabes in his track "Latitude". Instantly recognizable. It's incredible how Bjork has been able to transform the peaceful, serene sample into a moody broody one.
Didn't know this and it's incredible how many layers of background tracks/musical layers Bjork has included in this track. It's similar to a few songs by Massive attack which are also incredibly "multi layered" with tracks/sounds.

Aren't we trying too hard? 'Cause it's in our hands It's in our hands It's all here It's in our hands Look no further I look no further It's in our hands It always was It's in our hands It's in our hands It's in our hands It's in our hands
@@acctgsbelajar It means that what we need to succeed, love, be ourselves, be safe, everything we've always needed is within us or at our reach. In the beginning where she says "look no further" that is because the power, the love, the strength that you need is within your hands and your reach. When she says "cruelest almost always to ourselves" that is true, if we loved and accepted ourselves truly, we'd realize that our future and our love purpose is "in our hands- it always was" Also, when she says "aren't we scaring ourselves, unnecessarily, aren't we trying too hard" it means there is nothing to be afraid of, we are causing this fear and upheaval. In "Undo" off Vespertine, she also talks about trying too hard, life/love/relationships being meant to be easier, "lean into it" which is something that people tell you when you are scared. Embrace it. "It's not meant to be a strife" th-cam.com/video/9IhzsYd33lI/w-d-xo.html At least that is what it means to me:)
It feels like she's speaking a whole new language, her voice is so beautiful it doesn't sound real, it feels strange to think she's only speaking English. Yet she makes it sound so extraterrestrial.
Vespertine and Greatest Hits era is my absolute favourite ! The melody is so much better that other eras. And the LoFi electronic sounds are so damn fascinating and psychedelic.
I thought this was a new song, lol. Tbf, this song isn't on any major album, just a greatest hits compilation. But yeah, I got all excited for nothing :/
She is a national treasure possessing the world's rarest, and uniquely singular musical instrument, her voice. She may, indeed, have peers, but they are few and scattered throughout time.
Björk’s music has helped me work through, understand, and process so much of my life. I can’t believe how influential music can be, especially when it’s from someone with such raw humanity as Björk
it’s terrifying at times but it captures raw humanity for sure there’s a lot people are afraid to see about themselves but she isn’t that is why only some people get it
The creepiness of her videos, and sometimes even artistic, is why I love her videos so much. I can see something crawling away in the darkness in this video. I have been a fan of Bjork's music since her song "Oh so quiet". I also loved it when she was on the Space Ghost: Coast to Coast show.
This is definitely one of my favourite Björk songs! Spike Jonze made a really nice work for this video, it reflects her connection with nature so well. And she looks so beautiful pregnant here ❤
Björk absolutely destroys the confines of what can be considered musical genius. The creativity and outside of the box thinking is such a power move, especially in comparison to modern music. Björk will ALWAYS be one of my favorite artists of ALL TIME, along with DJ Shadow and Aphex Twin.
I have never heard of a singer who has more vocal control than bjork,her voice is strange and beautiful.And my god she is even more beautiful than her music
Oh hey, I recognise that sample from Nujabes. I wonder if this is where he got it from? Or if it predates both Bjork and Nujabes? EDIT: Of course, I then felt obliged to go and research it myself. The sample in question actually comes from Clouds by Gigi Masin.
It is also used on “ the amateur view” an album by (to rococo rot) to great effect the whole album is amazing but you should expect that from a German electronic band with a palindrome for a name
It's in our hands, to make this fkn world unite. And, be in peace with ourselves, with our loved ones, with the ones wen fear and our half mother/half father cosmic nature. Björk, your throat is blessed with starlight.

Hello hello it's nice you having a TH-cam channel I've been a fan since 1988 October Saturday Night Live for long time I thought I was Irish turns out I'm Scandinavian Ukraine Finland Iceland in your songs I kept getting pictures in my mind after looking over some of the videos you did there in Iceland it's what I was seeing
Björk never failed to amaze me with her out of this world music. I am so inspired with her music ever since that made me to create an instrumental music months ago.

I need to watch this more ...I love how you can always get a different perspective...no matter how many times you watch it... she's doing her job as an artist 😋
Her music definitely changed my life ! ❤️ I just dont get it why so many people think that her music is so weird and false in some way. I think it is masterpiece
Ok I admire it in 2023. She is not the best actress at all, by no means, but her music clips match her personality so much that is makes them a perfect illustration to her music. I love what and who she was and whom she became now
I can remember listening this song so many years ago. In what I believed. When I was not so numbed. Thought my future would be brighter. Maybe it will...
I love how this song speaks to all that's going one in the world. And how complicated we've made things for ourselves, and how we're always looking to complex systems to find solutions to problems that were created by our small thinking.
I love unique singer like Björk. She does not copy other singers' styles. When u want to be an actor actress model or a singer u need to create a style of your own. U don't copy other artists styles.
"Dedicated to the memory of Angel" "Please remember," "that I have always loved you," "with all my heart," "& I always will." "I will miss you forever" 1998 - 2021 I never knew Angel and I'll probably never meet Jvne (Sewerslvt), but that song, that ending, will forever make me cry. It brings back all the rush of emotions and breakdowns from when I lost somebody close to me.
I am so delighted with her, she has such a good vibe of tranquility and knowledge, it is something mysterious and fascinating. How lovely. Such a person is so rare.
“Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.”
Bro I haven't heard anything so real as this all fockin YEAR
She’s a true artist!
Favorite quote ever honestly 💓
i like this comment because i have lived my entire life feeling soo utterly cheated.

you write your destiny your fate is not chosen or predefined by god.
@Emma Cooper haha np! c: I loved bjork in dancers in the dark by the way! I wish she did more acting!
@Emma Cooper your mom is right. I watched it years ago and sometimes I still cry about it lol
Beautiful interpretation!!
“Look no further.”
it was recorded 18 years ago and sounds freshier than most 2020 songs
Really??? 😯😯😯😯
Very true. She wss comtemporary yet also somehow way ahead of her time.
We were not ready for this in 2002.
Freshier? Lol

I love you so much!
Vespertine and Greatest Hits era is my absolute favourite ! The melody is so much better that other eras. And the LoFi electronic sounds are so damn fascinating and psychedelic.
It’s amazing how well her music aged. This could be released today today and it would still sound fresh!
Helloo
björk songs no is bored never
I thought this was a new song, lol. Tbf, this song isn't on any major album, just a greatest hits compilation. But yeah, I got all excited for nothing :/
It's because it doesn't fit any specific genre so it's not tainted by it's own time, quality creative work
@@RetroPlus As apposed to Nu Metal which refuses to die.

I don't understand her music , it makes me feel bad :/
raw humanity, somewhat sounds as unsettling as her music. but I get u.. the abstractness in her is so mesmerizing
Her work is truly transcendent
Так я о чем и говорю. Хорошая музыка. А сейчас фигня полная.
it’s terrifying at times but it captures raw humanity for sure there’s a lot people are afraid to see about themselves but she isn’t that is why only some people get it
i care deeply about spider Björk
my favorite _Spider-Verse_ character
Bjork you are one of a kind truly
It's doesn't matter what material she releases. It's gonna be incredible
Always...
cause she's the queen of avant-garde and alternative
2002
This song is almost 20yrs. But true!
this is terrible wym?
I'm so overwhelmed and amazed at how well she controls her vocals and range. In all of her songs, it's just amazing. What a gift🥰
I love how she used noises as percussions
everything is noises
The creepiness of her videos, and sometimes even artistic, is why I love her videos so much. I can see something crawling away in the darkness in this video. I have been a fan of Bjork's music since her song "Oh so quiet". I also loved it when she was on the Space Ghost: Coast to Coast show.
Sometimes artistic?
I'm a new fan
My fav of hers is Possibly Maybe. Nothing is so comfortably familiar to me , about being miserable because of a past love.
This is definitely one of my favourite Björk songs!
Spike Jonze made a really nice work for this video, it reflects her connection with nature so well.
And she looks so beautiful pregnant here ❤
Björk absolutely destroys the confines of what can be considered musical genius. The creativity and outside of the box thinking is such a power move, especially in comparison to modern music. Björk will ALWAYS be one of my favorite artists of ALL TIME, along with DJ Shadow and Aphex Twin.
Thank you, mother.
I can't believe this song is almost (20) years old. Still sounds so fresh. Another beautiful one from Bjork...❤
She speaks directly to the soul in every human being that listens to her
I have never heard of a singer who has more vocal control than bjork,her voice is strange and beautiful.And my god she is even more beautiful than her music

One of the most underrated Björk song
She dose not deserve rate all her song are disgusting with disturbing videoclip
One of my favourites
Amazing woman, she is a timeless classic. I hope she is doing well and taking time to enjoy life.
Really cool that Spike Jonze directed this music video. A very legendary Skateboarding videographer and maker of films
Greatest artist of our lifetimes, bar none.
100% agreed
Greatest Artist in the history of the Universe!
This song has a beautiful and relatively clear message.

You are the brightest and more vivid rainbow ever to appear in the skies after a storm.
i’ve never seen this video before and i’m just absolutely blown away
She's like an actual real life fairy.
Since i met bjork i haven't met someone who expresses so many emotions in music WOW.
Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is a masterpiece!!
Bjork masterfully unites her mesmerizing voice with indescribable musical style in playful and poetic video clips. Intensely charming
The legendary sample in the background is from (Gigi Masin - Clouds (1989)
you may recognize it from other songs such is Lattitude by Nujabes
Bjork is one of the most talented artists of our generation!
Обожаю слушать ее!!!! Восхитительная певица!!💋💞💋
Vespertine era, just that ❤️
Undo 2020
It is definitely during Verspertine era, but this also reminds me of her Biophilia era as well... reminds me of Crystalline.
An underrated gem ❤️
Fkn wow! There's some curves and bends to these vocals that I've never heard from Bjork
before... and it's all just a little more human.. Superb!! ❤️
literally me tripping on mushrooms in a local park in a middle of the night, no fear only love
