My mom died 3 years ago from cancer then my dad found some woman and married her which i accept. However he stopped talking to me and i looked for him and wrote him letters and still he never cared he ignored me completely, underestimated me and always made me feel i am worth less than zero. I find comfort in this song
Sorry about your situation but isn't it great when you find music that speaks to you like this. This song gave me comfort throughout my pregnancy! I was so confused and unsure and this song kept every thing in perspective. Music is magical.
I love what you said. This song has been my go-to for when I was feeling alone. And you certainly were not when you were pregnant. I guess your little baby is 7 now. Like mine 🤗
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.
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.
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.
it's a bit rich, y' know- bjork, standing in a house of religion, singing about love in the purest of terms, without qualifying it, or condemning its forms. i swear tho', if this metatron was, every sunday, explaining love, bravery and hope from the pulpit... might go. if it started at, like, 3ish (pm or am both fine with me). gorgeous hearing modern songs sung by nordics!!! purely, without straining to sound like a fifty year old, self-harming, afro-american lady.
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?!
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.
