How i wish to be in this place, this magical place, with this magical music and atmosphere, i think i will never see her alive...lucky the ones who are here.
Interesting in that love songs are often in C (just look at the Lionel Richie songs alone). But in this case, she kicks it up from a personal love-song to a more universal feeling, shifting it to C# (and it's relative B-flat minor)--a key more reserved for songs of physical activity or endurance (see Vangels's "Chariots of Fire," or Enya's "Storms in Africa."). I can now add Bjork to my list of composers who understand pitch psychology. In a way this song is a universal blessing. Even the fact that she chose to perform it in a church. I used to actually live near that church, as my apartment in NYC was just off Riverside Drive. Bjork typically evades the question of historical religion, but clearly she in in touch with The Spirit. And she knows it.
This is a glorious performance of an amazing song but I was distracted by the folk choral backup that looks like a conference of Bjork look-alikes. Is she from a lost Inuit tribe that wandered into Iceland from the Bering Strait? Is this a family reunion? What’s happening diva?!
This performance is outstansing. The whole concert is brilliant. Does anyone know if this is in DVD? I personally think her voice is so much better here than in the royal opera house concert.
I've always loved Bjork, but never been attracted to her, but having watched this I feel confused because I outloud said Bjork was sexy, but didn't mean it sexually.
