I highly recommend these Bjork songs: - Hyperballad (Album Version) - Possibly Maybe - All is Full of Love - Joga - Pagan Poetry - Blissing Me - Unravel - Arisen My Senses Just to name a few 🤭😉👊
Bjork is ace, she was so ahead of her time. I'm not normally one to listen to 'pop' music, but she is certainly an exception I'm happy to make. This track always sounds like a much more upbeat Portishead. Don't know if you've ever heard them, if not I suggest Glory Box or Roads.
@@lil_weasel219 I know some people change, but I recall an interview with her implying she's poly. Just saying because idk where Phill heard she's ace.
@@djlalo.007 I think they are no longer teaching Greco-Roman mythology in schools. I have seen many reactors who had to Google "Venus"!! Shocking as hell.
The song is about a guy who is versed in the art of sensuality. A great song. The whole album, debut, released in 1993 is a masterpiece. So innovative for the time, but hit home so hard. Bjõrk was and still is great. Absolutely an amazing artist.
When I saw her sing "Birthday" I thought "Who is that little girl and how did they make her sing like that?!" Thirty-five years later OMG I am still hooked.
@@peterrabbit7173 Haha! That’s awesome! The lyrics are wild, too. Bjork is pretty magical. She’s in my top 10 female vocalists; with Elisabeth Fraser and Aimee Mann.
Björk is a rare *real* genius. The single "Play Dead" she did, with string arrangement from the mighty David Arnold, & bassline from Jah Wobble!!.... was one of the highest quality musical works to appear in the UK charts in the '90s. I'm not a fan of pop music, but she is way beyond pop. I own all her albums. ;)
I love Bjork. I'm so happy that you checked out that song and the video. She's just such an adorable person with a beautiful and powerful voice. (This is Holly from Zoom.)
Bjork was brought to the world's attention when she was with the Sugar Cubes. They had a few good songs but "Birthday" was a huge alt-rock hit. It is so unique and great. One if my favorite songs with her as singer but before she went solo. Check it out. But she has a host of great songs. Her big band-ish, "It's Oh So Quiet" (which you mentioned) is currently used in Corolla car commercials in the US which was a fun surprise choice by Toyota.
A personal Bjork favourite is a 'Triumph of a heart' ... no instruments involved just a beatboxer. You should listen to some of her other tracks, always a bit different and an interesting listen, I think its someone you'd like. 👍
1 Yes, it's pronounced byERk 2 "No vocal agility"? Like many songs of this era, it has a lot of Bjork's trademark scat vocal which sounds like a foreign language (but not Icelandic), and that's where her powers as a singer really come through. 3 Obvious comment - just say it, it's a song about a guy who's good at giving head - so of course there are visual double-entendres in the video (even the egg) 4 More musical details - the song as heard here was substantially rearranged, by Talvin Singh (and yes, the strings are real btw): Bjork's first draft was the very spare folk-like version later released as a b-side, and for a long time preferred by Bjork (judging by live performances) 5 Major nostalgic appeal here - this tends to be one of the defining songs of 1993 in British people's memory, even though it wasn't a huge hit (and back then radio stations were playing an awful remix with [bad] extra vocals) 6 It's a pity You Tube doesn't have the superior amateur recording which exists of her first gig (rather than the crappy one), where they gave this song an extended outro (the bass player just couldn't let go of that riff)
BJORK is the top of vocals and uniqueness. When I was in my 20's getting high in my car and driving around I knew this song was all about sex. And I had already met a Venus as a boy. We dated for 3 years and she was my angel that sang my life out loud. I still love and admire her from 1990 n own all her music from Sugarcubes till now. This was her breakout album from the sugarcubes. Very very important album. And from there she has taken us to other planets, literally. She is our portal to those worlds. I love her, always.
Yes, it is about a male lover and is based off the book "story of the eye". she was not ok with the eggs being fried and they should've been boiled which you can see in a scene as it is part of the sex experience of the protagonists of the book.
I’ve been a fan of hers since the 🎵“Hit”from The Sugarcubes found its way to the states on MTVs 120Minutes (yes, mtv ACTUALLY played🎶, the show played «alternative»🎶@mid🌘the only⏳we could👂🏻&👀🎶w/🎥that were new, 🆙coming&/or avant-garde, or from other countries ie: R.E.M., Dep.Mode, T.Amos, Fiona🍎, STP, PJ,🛕ot🐕, The☀️days, Ai⛓, The Cure…until they either fizzled out, dev.a gr8/er fanbase &/or hit mainstream📈) so that was in1990s🕰I was in🏫. This🎵was off her solo💿‘Debut.’ She had another solo💿b4 called ‘Gling-Glo’ while w/The Sugarcubes going by her full name. It was a jazz💿, the reason I mention it at all.but it stayed in🧊land when she broke out2🌟dom going by only her 1st name&until the📱age of🎶u could only find it in🏬that sold👢 🦵🏼
Check out Bjorks Jazz albums. She did jazz recordings with an Icelandic jazz trio. Bjork was our (Gen X) Aurora and Billie Eilish all wrapped into one.
Venus is a female roman god about love beauty desire sex fertility prosperity and victory So saying hes venus as a boy would mean that he is able to comprehend and very good at sensualness, beauty, and pleasure
Talvin Singh, the dude behind the strings on this, did a remix of Possibly Maybe where he made Bjork redo the vocals in that traditional Indian nasal style and it's quite a joy
I gave you a "like" just because you played "Venus As A Boy" by Bjork. I first heard it in the movie "Leon: The Professional", and I really liked the song.
If you think this is x-rated I would not recommend Bjork’s Pagan Poetry. I always thought of the eggs symbolizing fertility and this boy, Venus, have had sex, but she’s having breakfast for one. Meaning he hasn’t fertilized her eggs. They just had a nice time but it’s nothing serious.
I need you to react to Susanne Sundfør "Undercover" Live at Stoller Hall. Or "White Foxes" the MV, or at Nobel Peace Prize Concert. Or from Concert at Øyafestivalen, "Delirious". Though, I wouldn't mind if you reacted to all of them. Or, "The Brothel" Official MV. That is a good one, too, Maybe "Fade Away"
Bjork is amazingly talented and she's got such a unique voice...but she has the weirdest musical tastes. She's kind of the Helena Bonham Carter of music...weird, but always fun to watch and listen to.
Congratulations my friend Tommy!! ...Now here you have your best new year gift!!....Today it is very difficult to find reactors like you who have never reacted to the best singer in the world, Dimash Kudaibergen, who has 7 octaves and 3 semitones vocal range (An alien) ... Maybe someone made you a request to react to Dimash, but you have not had time .... I am going to dare to recommend that you meet Dimash, because when you do it for the first time, your life as reactor will change forever ....For example, the number of views that you have today, it will increase by 300% in a matter of a few hours and you will get a lot of new subscribers.....But when you react to Dimash, don't do it with his most recent songs ... I recommend that you go to the year 2017 and react to the song that made him a global idol ... I mean the performance he did Dimash from the famous French song called "SOS D'un Terrien en Détresse", when he participated in the famous Chinese reality show The Singer in that year 2017 ... With that performance Dimash earned the reputation of being the best singer on the planet, so I recommend you start with that one .... You can also start with the other famous live version of that song that Dimash did the following year 2018 when he was invited to the famous Slavic Bazzar festival in Belarus .... Both performances are from another planet....Your life will never be the same again, after reacting for the first time to Dimash...And your first reaction to Dimash will be something very special, so I recommend that you do the best job of your life as a reactor, because that first video will be seen by thousands of people around the world, maybe millions...I hope to see you first reaction soon and if you don't mind, I'd like you to mention me as the person who recommended reacting to Dimash, but if you don't want to, that's fine...
Hi Tommy , have you ever made a reaction with any Siouxsie's song? What about a difficult one such as Untiedundone or You! ? By the Creatures ( siouxsie Sioux)
I've noticed in a number of reaction videos; aparently Greek and Roman mythology is no longer taught to every schoolchild. This is a shame and a tragedy. Anyway, your first clue that this is a song about sex would be "Venus" in the title. Second clue would be "exciting sex" in the very first line. If you read interviews with her at the time, the eggs are a very kinky reference too. 😋
Hey Tommy , not posted for a while but I really appreciated this video - one of the few people I've noticed to have picked up on the sexual content of this song. Another of her songs 'Play Dead' is even more soul-baring, a song about making love in a relationship where the feelings have long died, but played out as a Bond movie theme. Damn, do it! ruclips.net/video/mNoo_rNZQ84/видео.html
He's Venus as a boy because he believes in and understands sensual beauty and pleasure.
Exactamundo
Perpekto
En otras palabras: él entiende y conecta con el lado femenino del cada hombre. La sensibilidad, la belleza, el entendimiento.
The opening lyrics are "His wicked sense of humor suggests exciting sex"
You're not imagining.
Kind of a dead giveaway. 🙂
"His fingers, they focus on her and touches"
all this time I thought she said "Sense"
Genius and brilliance is hard to come by...in any time in history... BJORK is the real deal... Her mind is a treasure ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I highly recommend these Bjork songs:
- Hyperballad (Album Version)
- Possibly Maybe
- All is Full of Love
- Joga
- Pagan Poetry
- Blissing Me
- Unravel
- Arisen My Senses
Just to name a few 🤭😉👊
@@PinkyPuff69 😉🙃🙃😂
I would add also "The anchor song " that song always touches me
its such a shame when ppl watch the music video for hyperballad and don't get to experience that ending.
Yes, and Bachelorette
...and Army of me! 😊😊
Bjork is ace, she was so ahead of her time. I'm not normally one to listen to 'pop' music, but she is certainly an exception I'm happy to make. This track always sounds like a much more upbeat Portishead. Don't know if you've ever heard them, if not I suggest Glory Box or Roads.
Thanks! I’ve added glory box to the suggestions list!
ace normally means asexual person
He definitely needs to react to Portishead
@@lil_weasel219 I know some people change, but I recall an interview with her implying she's poly. Just saying because idk where Phill heard she's ace.
@@Akoyabones ace is northern english slang for something that’s top quality
"Is this song turning x rated?"
Sir, where do I start XD
the word venus is LITERALLY in the title lmfao
@@djlalo.007 I think they are no longer teaching Greco-Roman mythology in schools. I have seen many reactors who had to Google "Venus"!! Shocking as hell.
Listen to Vespertine by Björk and Homogenic. They're not albums they're states of being.
The song is about a guy who is versed in the art of sensuality. A great song. The whole album, debut, released in 1993 is a masterpiece. So innovative for the time, but hit home so hard. Bjõrk was and still is great. Absolutely an amazing artist.
Bjork singing 'Birthday' when she was part of Sugarcubes was my first exposure to her complex vocal brilliance. So inspiring!
When I saw her sing "Birthday" I thought "Who is that little girl and how did they make her sing like that?!" Thirty-five years later OMG I am still hooked.
@@peterrabbit7173 Haha! That’s awesome!
The lyrics are wild, too.
Bjork is pretty magical.

Hey Holly! Glad you liked it!
I had the privilege of seeing her in 96, what a remarkable gig that was..
She recorded an album with a Jazz trio called Gling Glo. You can check it out here on RUclips. Luktar Gvendur is a good song.
I love this album! for me Kata rokkar!

It’s oh so quiet is a cover
She’s smitten and daydreams. There’s something pure and sweet about her. You’re jaded if you can’t see her infatuation of love.
A personal Bjork favourite is a 'Triumph of a heart' ... no instruments involved just a beatboxer. You should listen to some of her other tracks, always a bit different and an interesting listen, I think its someone you'd like. 👍
Agree he has to do Triumph of a Heart. And Army of Me. And Tabula Rasa.
Not just a beatboxer, but basically *the* beatboxer Rahzel.
i love Army Of Me from her as well ♥♥
1 Yes, it's pronounced byERk
2 "No vocal agility"? Like many songs of this era, it has a lot of Bjork's trademark scat vocal which sounds like a foreign language (but not Icelandic), and that's where her powers as a singer really come through.
3 Obvious comment - just say it, it's a song about a guy who's good at giving head - so of course there are visual double-entendres in the video (even the egg)
4 More musical details - the song as heard here was substantially rearranged, by Talvin Singh (and yes, the strings are real btw): Bjork's first draft was the very spare folk-like version later released as a b-side, and for a long time preferred by Bjork (judging by live performances)
5 Major nostalgic appeal here - this tends to be one of the defining songs of 1993 in British people's memory, even though it wasn't a huge hit (and back then radio stations were playing an awful remix with [bad] extra vocals)
6 It's a pity You Tube doesn't have the superior amateur recording which exists of her first gig (rather than the crappy one), where they gave this song an extended outro (the bass player just couldn't let go of that riff)
Thanks for taking the time to write this. I really enjoyed the song! I’m intrigued as to what else she had
Extremely underrated comment
Talvin Singh! Siouxsie is another favorite vocalist of mine, Talvin Singh on Kiss Them For Me was amazing
Where can I find the b side version????/ extended outro???
"I hope I'm not making it up"
Bjork, in the very first verses : "exciiiiitiiiing SEEEEX"
Oh yeah this is about sex. Great reaction and loved that you actually know how to pronounce her name (and even the name of this ö), really cool!
Thank you! Great song!
@@ThomasJ_Music thank you, do more of hers :3
I've listened to this song about 10,000 since 1993 and it's my favorite song EVER❤️
BJORK is the top of vocals and uniqueness.
When I was in my 20's getting high in my car and driving around I knew this song was all about sex. And I had already met a Venus as a boy. We dated for 3 years and she was my angel that sang my life out loud. I still love and admire her from 1990 n own all her music from Sugarcubes till now. This was her breakout album from the sugarcubes. Very very important album. And from there she has taken us to other planets, literally. She is our portal to those worlds. I love her, always.
Thank you for the inspiration! This really chimes with inspirations I take for my independent music, it’s so nice to see this kind of work out there.
Yes, it is about a male lover and is based off the book "story of the eye". she was not ok with the eggs being fried and they should've been boiled which you can see in a scene as it is part of the sex experience of the protagonists of the book.
The Bristol DJ Dom T.
Your reaction was lovely hahaha favorite song of all times!
You should react to "Sun in my mouth". I think it refers to self pleasure in that one. A gorgeous song with amazing arrangement and production.
"His wicked
Sense of humor
Suggests
Exciting sex!"
Yes, I think it might have something to do with intercourse, mate xD I luv ur reactions
😂 thanks!
"He's exploring the taste of her arousal."
Yup. She sings that line.
my favourite song of Björk!
It's an absolute beautiful song..so many memories for me of the early 90s
After all this time, I’m only now realizing that the early 60s “Venus” was her jumping off point with the melody here.
...specifically, this “Venus,” not the Shocking Blue/Bananarama “Venus...”

Emma thanks Emma!
I recently watched this video again. It's such a great song ahead of its time yet timeless. Transcendant.
a man in touch with his feminine side. also those parts where you cant understand her shes literally just making up words.
Great reaction and review. You are on point 👌
Check out Bjorks Jazz albums. She did jazz recordings with an Icelandic jazz trio. Bjork was our (Gen X) Aurora and Billie Eilish all wrapped into one.
Lmao don’t even compare Björk to Billie Eyelash
Excellent that you caught the “ó”. The tick is not a mere decoration. Her name in English is “Birch”, and the wovel is similar.
There's a live unplugged version from back in the day that is just to die for
Venus is a female roman god about love beauty desire sex fertility prosperity and victory
So saying hes venus as a boy would mean that he is able to comprehend and very good at sensualness, beauty, and pleasure
Talvin Singh, the dude behind the strings on this, did a remix of Possibly Maybe where he made Bjork redo the vocals in that traditional Indian nasal style and it's quite a joy
Flight IC408, Talvin Singh
It’s about love and she’s preparing her eggs... beautiful song/Singer ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Venus as a boy~ Venus in Taurus♉
Meantime her boyfriend is patiently waiting for breakfast to be served.
Shes still Not finished the breakfast 😭🐰
Björk..unique...i heard her in 90's...amazing
There's a remix by Cxxlion and it's called Memphis Memorh Gardens 3
I'm also a Jazz type singer. I actually sing it as a high male voice.
Bjork is the consummate “Professional”🤫
I love Bjork from Brazil 😍
Excelente reacción pelado!
I love cocoon and big time sensuality
Venus is the godess of love, beauty and sex, so yes its about a man who explores his identity through the those
I could listen to Bjork and Kate Bush, all day long.
One of my favourite songs when I recently got out of university! I'm old..ish! Ha ha ha 56!!
I gave you a "like" just because you played "Venus As A Boy" by Bjork. I first heard it in the movie "Leon: The Professional", and I really liked the song.
Me too!
Since you are a Jazz singer you should listen to her jazz album she did in 1990, Gling Gló together with tríó Guðmundar Ingólfssonar
Vísur Vatnsenda-Rósu comes to my mind as a Björk song to not be missed even if she did it with the late french composer Hector Zazou.
i see jazz singers react, I subscribe.
bjork has some songs that make w.a.p. look like kids bop
You so get it!
Army of Me is a very popular Björk song, but my absolute favorite by her is in Icelandic; Stigdu Mig
"Bjork it rhymes with jerk" B. Gudmundsdottir
If you think this is x-rated I would not recommend Bjork’s Pagan Poetry. I always thought of the eggs symbolizing fertility and this boy, Venus, have had sex, but she’s having breakfast for one. Meaning he hasn’t fertilized her eggs. They just had a nice time but it’s nothing serious.
I was just gonna say the same! Amazing song though, one of my favourites. Actually going to have to listen to it now! Ta 🤭😊
💖 This song is of the film LEON 💖
Venus.. yeah, beauty and sex. Beautiful song, in my opinion.
Nigella cooking show. Food and flirting.
Her music is different than mainstream pop. I quite like it but I can’t listen to a whole album in one go.
good observation, you think fast
I need you to react to Susanne Sundfør "Undercover" Live at Stoller Hall. Or "White Foxes" the MV, or at Nobel Peace Prize Concert. Or from Concert at Øyafestivalen, "Delirious". Though, I wouldn't mind if you reacted to all of them. Or, "The Brothel" Official MV. That is a good one, too, Maybe "Fade Away"
Bjork has at times a very sexual voice and uses it accordingly for a lot of songs.
Bjork is amazingly talented and she's got such a unique voice...but she has the weirdest musical tastes. She's kind of the Helena Bonham Carter of music...weird, but always fun to watch and listen to.
My personal favorite Bjork album is Vulnicura.
Thank you

check out her version of Ruby Baby, it's like a vocal version of arson on a fireworks factory.
Check out the Pagan Poetry video. She’s quite sensual in her music.
Cocoon comes to mind of lyrics that are sexual but not in as you say X rated. She doesn't exploit nor sell sex in her music. She explores it.
