That's one of the many reasons why I like her as both an artist and as a creative. She isn't afraid to do her own thing regardless of how people view her. You'd have thought by now that the people behind the clone-types e.g. Little Mix, One Direction, Girls Aloud, West Life and the other manufactured groups would have figured by now why people like Bjork, Goldfrapp, Kate Bush and David Bowie have actual staying power.
to add on, there's the fact that some of what she says is whispered before she sings it, almost as if she's being told what to say... my first time watching the video, but I've always found that detail in the song so scary
Kate bush, nina Simone, Pj harvey, Aretha Franklin. Close, & that is someone who has just been blown away by her cornucopia production, but still no cigar Oh, & Taylor Swift & Nicki Minaj also
+FocusBeam so based off of reading this comment I looked up Venus Hum and found out I really like their music! I haven't looked too far but do you know why its been so long since they made a new album and their most recent one is only remixes? I just want to know if I am getting into a band that isn't making music anymore
Tô chocada, quando eu acho que a Bjork não pode me surpreender mais eu descubrou outra obra prima dela, eu não sei nem o que dizer sobre esse video mas é incrível toda essa engenharia e perfomance deles! Impecável nunca vi nada igual
I have no idea how these are hidden from me till the right moment. After more than two decades, it is only this week I am getting a chance of independence. I don't know how synchronicity does what it does, but I cannot deny, Bjork has an especial knack for arriving on time.
those who don't like this woman Sapiens, i have to say that we need digest her message. She makes my mind more free!! thank you, B!!!! Sorry, i don't speak or wrote english very well, but i am learning, sistras, brothers
Personally I love this song I feel it reaches out to all the countries that haven't made it yet.. Scotland.. Tibet.. Catalonia.. for instance. I love the song.. video.. ♥ 💜
I am not aware of any comments Bjork made on Kosovo, the Balkans and/or Eastern Europe so I couldn't possibly comment on that ==/A\==. I like the song though, and can definitely identify with it as far as Scotland, Catalonia and Tibet go. Nothing ever stays the same.. but equally it is true to say that 'history repeats' sometimes endlessly it seems.
What's ironic about this is that since this song was released we've had the debate about Catalonia Independence and both the Scottish Independence and UK Independence votes.
OMFG why does this video not have more views. This contraption is amazing!!! WHo?!.......What mad genius directed this video?! Someone give them eight Oscars and a Grammy (I actually don't pay attention to either so I forgot which is for film and which is for music. Just give them both anyway)
I love a wild animal. For a long time this has been in my destiny, and now it's coming true. Wild animals run away if they feel that someone is approaching, they bite if they try to catch them. Only the mating season calms them, and not entirely.
Is it not what we all should do? Declare our independence. My anarquist hymn from now on. Bjork is such a great artist and and makes you think as well. Freedom and good life!
I swear Bjork and Nine Inch Nails should do a song together because this song straight up sounds like Nine Inch Nails. Even her song pluto sounds like Nine Inch Nails.
I love this. The song is about independence, but the video portrays it as a message of media control...declare independence, just like you're being told to.
the wonderful thing about any good pop music, is the way it can be transposed from circumstance to circumstance, but for me it reminds me of my time when I moved up from London to Yorkshire... [I'm going to shut up]
1st of December of 2018 was Iceland's Independence 100th anniversary and Jóhannesson, Iceland's current president, quoted this song during his official announcement. What a day to be a Björk fan.
We feel unknown by the world, and then there's Sea Shepherd who tries to make us famous for killing whales, so many also hate us. We are by the way not part of the European Union (EU), but Denmark is, and they have had to abandon us sometimes, but we do still need Denmark, or else I would fear for the future.
i am from Brasil, T. The message of Bjork is making me strong, is freeing (sorry, i am learning english still, sorry) my mind. I desagree about kill our brothers and sistras whales because those Animals are very much smart and complexes and sophisticated, they fell pain like us, they are mammals like us. So, we (Homo sapiens + Cetacea) are very similar... The Sapiens are very dificult to understand. But... i eat meat, i am not better. Let's, us, evolve.😉 Kisses with love from another sapiens (not so much sapiens)😭
Bjork was the 1st musician to use the Reactable outside of presentations. You could probably get similar sounds with a synth through distortion pedals as well.
I originally watch this video a long time probably when I was 10 or 11 I'm 21 now I just want to say Bjork thank you so much for subliminal messaging me in a positive way
The first time I watched this video, I saw a propaganda machine (the guitarist) with a charismatic leader (Björk) brainwashing people (the soldiers) who have no way of accessing other media (the ropes and closed room) with a script written by a hidden elite (the sprays at the roof, someone not seen in the video is operating them) that put a select few (the soldiers upstairs that aren't raising the flag) in charge of controlling the new country and how it portrays itself (the painting). Basically, how many dictatorships were born. Then I read about Björk and thought that most likely was the polar opposite of her actual intention, lol.
@@Iunanec But it looks like that, yes! Maybe it is, tho. I mean, she also has a song called Unison that say we should unite, we should not fight. And this song... maybe just means: do not let other people stop you from being you: Declare independence from them!!! But then, nations separatism..... I dont think so :/
