It's good but you also have to check out the Cocoon cover on TH-cam. It's two guys. One on guitar and the guy on the right sings. And it's beautiful. A worthy contender for best Bjork cover anywhere.
If you're still interested, here are the chords as follows: Standard tuning: Verse: 300001, 2x0001, 02x001, the x mutes the bass a little but its optional Bridge: 779987 chorus: 3x5000, 5x7000, 7x9700, then slide back to 5x7000 and 3x5000, Enjoy. Its an amazing cover. if you really need i'll record you a video :)
I know I've listened to this cover many years before just looking up Hyperballad covers, but TH-cam randomly recommended it again years later and I got whiplash from the double take seeing the name of the singer (and the end card!)
1. beautiful guitar, wonderful voice 2. its difficult not to compare with how expressive Bjork's voice is 3. the singing is a little old school but overall beautiful cover, played it 4 times! :)
Decent without being soft, respectful without losing self-esteem, heavenly without being religious, natural with lots of deepness and broadness, ear-caressing, never to high, never to crazy, spacey tripping without getting badly addicted, in one word... Wonderful
We live on a mountain Right at the top There's a 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 'til they crash Imagine what my body would sound like Slamming against those rocks 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 Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you Safe up (here with you)
Dude! Thanks! So rare that anyone reply's on TH-cam, especially considering you initial post was 6 months ago. Can't wait to get started. Thanks again!
Ok.....I love Bjork and for whatever reason I am just now discovering this track....(I know I'm an idiot) Dude, you absolutely killed this!! This is an amazing cover! You gave it an almost Smith's vibe......fantastic!!
dare I say it? as an incredibly huge fan of bjork and this song especially... dare I say it? yes: this is actually a billion times better than the original!!
Hey sorry for the delay and also sorry that after all my hard work ultimate guitar never put up my tab so here are the chords as follows: Standard tuning: Verse: 300001, 2x0001, 02x001, the x mutes the bass a little but its optional Bridge: 779987 chorus: 3x5000, 5x7000, 7x9700, then slide back to 5x7000 and 3x5000, Enjoy. Its an amazing cover. if you really need i'll record you a video :)
Lovely reading. Having just learned this cover, I thrilled to see what can be done with it on simple guitar and voice. Mildly miffed that you dropped a line in the 2nd verse. Not that anyone but me would notice, mind.....

Someone give this man a show at the Rivoli
Its hard to cover bjork's songs and sound good...this guy killed it. Im sold.
I wish that Jay McCarrol were here to see these comments. So much that he could be happy about.
jay's not dead...
@@Shylo555 LMAO - i didn't mean that he died. I meant that he doesn't come here to see comments.
Hyperballad is by far my favorite song ever; it's a great deal that I liked this cover so much.
tambien es una de mis favoritas junto con "Storm"
This is probably the best cover I've heard of a Bjork song in my life.
It's good but you also have to check out the Cocoon cover on TH-cam. It's two guys. One on guitar and the guy on the right sings. And it's beautiful. A worthy contender for best Bjork cover anywhere.
Totally. 10 years later, and I still come and check out this performance. Outstanding.

nice one bro, very kind, sweet cover and voice!
i'm playing that and it sounds absolutely nothing like it :(
alex I don’t know man, are you sure your guitar is tuned in correctly. Take my word for it . those chords are accurate
@@jamespurcell548 yeah dude it's in standard tuning, doesn't sound right at all no idea why
alex here’s a vid I made going through it. That should hopefully help th-cam.com/video/birUajkWMy8/w-d-xo.html
I love this version I just keep coming back back to it.
Oh my god Jay and one of my favorite Börk songs at the same time I can't deal with this.
This cat plays this like he wrote it! Awesome.
One of the best covers I’ve ever heard. Wish this was on Spotify!
Just discovered this gem of a rendition. Absolutely in awe.
Didn't expect... This is immediately my favorite cover of the song. So beautiful.
the realest love song ever
incrível! you gave it another direction, another taste and it became so profound in your voice. Thx for sharing this moment
How can anyone dislike this.
Impossible indeed, just majestic this
Just finally posting a comment after listening to this for years. Damn good job man. Bjorks music is real special and you did a fantastic job on this.
omg his voice is so beautiful.
I cant believe how good his voice is
this is one of my favorite songs, he did it justice! made my day.
I know I've listened to this cover many years before just looking up Hyperballad covers, but TH-cam randomly recommended it again years later and I got whiplash from the double take seeing the name of the singer (and the end card!)

Bjork the Artist the Show
this is the best verison of this song. best cover i've ever heard. this is how the song was suppose to be made
Believe it or not, because of this song you are one of the greatest musical influences in my life
Decent without being soft, respectful without losing self-esteem, heavenly without being religious, natural with lots of deepness and broadness, ear-caressing, never to high, never to crazy, spacey tripping without getting badly addicted, in one word... Wonderful
This is such a sensitive reworking of an already lovely song. Thanks for posting, from one who appreciates it.
I agree, this is the best cover of this song I've heard. :)
wow I am going to learn this even if it is the last thing I do! Beautiful rendition and interpretation of hyperballad!
th-cam.com/video/birUajkWMy8/w-d-xo.html
SOUNDS LIKE EARLY RADIOHEAD

He definitely did better with this than other versions I've heard. He has the sensitivity and expression to pull it off.
Beautiful
Nicely done.what a song that one is.thanks for that.havent heard this in years
Excellent goose-skinning performance! Grats.
wow. what a voice. i thought i could never hear a adequate cover of Bjork, but now it is!
touching cover, thanks, bro
We live on a mountain
Right at the top
There's a 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 'til they crash
Imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks
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
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
Safe up (here with you)
My favorite cover!

There's something about the way you do it that makes it better. I'm usually against acoustic covers but this one feels right. I really liked it.
This is great~
This is a fabulous cover. It even makes me like the original more than I did before.
Ok.....I love Bjork and for whatever reason I am just now discovering this track....(I know I'm an idiot)
Dude, you absolutely killed this!!
