If she does something complex people are not happy because "she's getting too experimental" if she does something more traditional and simple people are still not happy because "she's over and out of ideas". It's a good thing Björk doesn't really care that much about people's critics about her work. I think this video's beauty is in its simplicity, her music is really emotional and she really knows how to reflect those emotions on her face and movements when it comes to shoot a video or performing live. She's a breath of fresh air, and she's always been. She deserves all the recognition she's getting and more.
The Antique Well it is impossible to please everybody, but come on! Is Björk, she's always interesting. I don't worship everything she's done, but there's always honesty, beauty and thought in everything she does.
For real tho. And, like, Bjork looks so cute in this video. The visuals are beautiful. And that fashion is glorious. Bjork is a trend setter. Go getta. Money maker. Bread winner!!!!
She's one of a kind, period. I'm really happy that I get to discover her, and really grateful that I get to share the same time and space with such a creative artist.
People use the word "weird" like it's a bad thing. Weird just means you have just been taken outside of your comfort zone. Weird means it's not boring! That is true art.
I loved her the first time I heard and saw her. But many dont get her. I think she is way ahead of where most people are. If artist are too far ahead of where people are it can backfire.
Fame is not reduced only to own vocal ability, there are other ways to get to it. britney is an entertainer, rather than just a singer. She is a performer. Bjork is an artist.
This song is exactly what it feels like when you love someone but you're scared it's over but you're trying to remain calm, keep the anxiety inside so you don't do anything rash. So you just lie in your bed and overthink and cry and hope they'll text you soon
I can’t believe no one is talking about the incredible string arrangement at the end of the song (5:30 - 6:11). Very few modern artists deserve to be studied like Mozart or Bach and Björk is one of them.
Björk is basically 50% good music theory, and 50% Björk weirdness. I heard Björk learned classically, but gave up because it was too strict. That was me learning Jazz drumming as a kid.
+Míriel Eledhwen (aartbeien) I was thinking about this comparison before I came to this video and before I read your comment! But in my opinion, in the kingdom in which Gaga is a queen, Björk is the Goddess for whom Gaga always bows! No offense intended!! (Sorry for my bad English)
''Recently, my son said to me after seeing a ballet on television: ‘It’s beautiful, but I don’t like it.’ And I thought, Are many grown-ups capable of such a distinction? It’s beautiful, but I don’t like it. Usually, our grown-up thinking is more along the lines of: I don’t like it, so it’s not beautiful. What would it mean to separate those two impressions for art making and for art criticism?'' -Sarah Ruhl (leaving this here because i think some people on the comments might need it)
It should be easy for us to appreciate an artist's work without finding it aesthetically pleasing. Sadly, it seems the only people left that are capable of doing such are the artists themselves.
I don't care what anyone says. She is Bjork. She is awesome. She is the woman child. I will always love her no matter what. I am truly her biggest fan.
***** Actually the guys at MoMA did a terrible work for her retrospective, everyone is criticizing what they've done. So, not so ''biggest fans'' I guess.
This is when you know for a fact she has the blood of a warrior in her veins. I feel like she told us that this album was about heartbreak and we listen to the music and we expected what the visual was going to be. We heard the leak and we were confused because we thought it was going to be dark and somber but what we got was a bright and airy opening song with the darkness sprinkled throughout.... but it never took over. Then she released the cover art and that yellow..... that yellow was strong with hope. She was dressed in all black but was still bright as a million suns... This video knocks me back even further because I feel like what she's giving us is so different from what she normally does. Her mannerisms are amazing (Wagging her finger, hand gestures in unison with syllables of words, side glances directly into the camera) and I appreciate that she can go from this to Black Lake and what ever Stonemilker has in store. I know she has a thing regarding fans... but... I love the shit out of her and her craft. She can do no fucking wrong.
For those of you who doesn't know. The pain and reward in the making of this music video. Her whole cloak is made up of fiber optic lighting in full effect. The star dust and universe imaging wasn't a playing matter. I know, because I am going to major in filmography. I study a lot of Bjork's music videos, because I fancy them a great deal. She is so compassionate about everything that is contributed into them. I love you Bjork...
"Since the operation, I have some of the high notes better than I have had for a while but also I've got some deep notes that I didn't have before and I haven't used them. I'd like maybe to do an EP just with the deep notes." - Björk
Stunning as always, I love the effects, the lights, the costume and also her surreal movements. Bjork is spontaneous even in a video like this. Eccentric performance, while the background visuals warp behind and around her giving a sort of microscope view inside her wound.
I find it hard to imagine why so many people came here just to vote down this song and video, and make ignorant snotty comments about what they plainly don't understand. Why bother? Do they also go around specially to all their neighbours to criticize their decorating and cooking? Björk is an amazing geyser of creativity and beauty and this song is just one more example.
I’m not a master in the technicalities of music at all, but the way she sings “somehow” at 0:15 right at the beginning is so mournful and emotional, my favourite part of the song.
Although many may categorize this as "just simple"; in the way I see it, is like watching Vulnicura's cover being alive, like having this character expressing its own mood; I think it's beautiful. I felt exactly the same thing with "Moon" video off Biophilia.
Gerard Burnley I totally agree with you. But I am so glad this video and the Moon videos exist. The album art costumes are too amazing to not be put to life! Plus there was no teasers for this video or anything it kinda released out of no where. So it's more of a simple project for vulnicura. It's my fave Bjork video though. I am obsessed with her look here I was hoping they would release a music video in this costume!
wazburg Exactly!; it's a great costume, along with a fair concept around that "persona" to match the album's theme, and in addition, I really hope she keeps doing this for (hopefully) many more records to come.
I absolutely love Bjork, for me she is one of the most intelligent and creative artist of our time. The fact people that say she is weird is because we have been formatted to behave and think by the industrial revolution standards, learn how to be a good worker or employee, in school they don´t teach kids how to think or to be creative, in occidental culture people lack spiritual knowledge and emotional intelligence, so many of us are faced with mental problems, that skyrocketed with the pandemic. Listen to Bjork and open your heart and your mind.
Maybe he will come out this Maybe he won't Somehow I'm not too bothered either way Maybe he will come out of this loving me Maybe he will come out of this I smell declarations of solitude Maybe he will come out of this Vietnam vet comes after the war Lands in my house This wild lion doesn't fit in this chair Maybe he will come out of this loving me Maybe he won't I'm not taming no animal Maybe he will come out of this Once it was simple, one feeling at a time It reached this peak then transformed This abstract complex feeling I just don't know how to handle when Should I throw oil on one of these wounds But which one? The joy peak Humor peak Frustration peak Anything peak for clarity Maybe he will come out of this loving me Maybe he won't I'm not taming no animal Maybe he will come out of this Maybe he will come out of this Maybe he won't Somehow I'm not too bothered either way I refuse, it's a sign of maturity To be stuck in complexity I demand all clarity Maybe he will come out of this Or he will feel so solitaire Somehow I'm not too bothered I'd just like to know
At 50, I finally opened my heart and soul to Bjork....think she was and evolved into one of the greatest artists, happy birthday, Scorpio lady! You are so creative, your videos are masterpieces, thank you! A Taurus admirer from Paris France 🔥💎❤️💎🔥👍
Obviously this song is about her since ended marriage. But I feel like that line was aimed directly at her ex. That's why she looked into the camera like that. Almost as if it is a reference to something specific between her and Matthew.
In 200 years, certain of Bjork's songs, like this one and "Hyperballad," will be formally presented in concert halls on distant planets by multicepheral blue-skinned divas. These creatures will have been genetically designed specifically for the task, grown in specially formulated hemaponic gestation pods, and then put through years of strenuous and exacting training. These performers will be held in almost godlike awe by all sentient beings, even the ones who do not hear sounds in this frequency range.
This song is so stunning, and the thing I love the most about Björk is how she always sings with so much emotion! The video is so creative. The headpiece reminds me of dandelions, you know those fluffy things you blow off? I love it.
Im shocked at how many people 'dont get it'. Its art, and expression. Its such a basic human thing, yet so many people are shut off from any form of either. Shame.
I still can’t get her work completely, it’s abstract, that doesn’t mean that you are smart for not understanding it. I just wish that people respect and acknowledge her creativity’s
The video has a meaning, now i get it. "Maybe he will come out of this" She refears to her heart/relationship that she shows in the video. The hands expressions kinda look like a conversation with somebody or actually arguing with that person she will may lose. She wants to know why, she wants clarity. "I demand all clarity" You can see the video goes darker and confusing (in that weird colours and constelations). "Once it was simple.... These abstract complex feelings, i dont know how to handle them". And then she wanna throw oil to all of the feelings that confuses her, because she can handle one at a time, but she doesnt know what feeling. (The you can see the oil on her face). At the end i just can think about the video and the song lyrics about a conversation between her heart and brain about how to handle the situation of losing her lover.
Not also is the meaning of this song fitting for a relationship decaying, but also family as well. Complexities and chaos maybe traumatic and overwhelming, but also a Clarity for one's maturity to move on, or stay in the past.
Maybe he will come out of this Maybe he won't Somehow I'm not too bothered Either way Maybe he will come out of this loving me Maybe he will come out of this I smell declarations of solitude Maybe he will come out of this Vietnam vet comes after the war Lands in my house This wild lion doesn't fit in this chair Maybe he will come out of this loving me Maybe he won't I'm not taming no animal Maybe he will come out of this Once it was simple One feeling at a time It reached it's peak then transformed These abstract complex feelings I just don't know How to handle them Should I throw oil On one of these moods But which one Make the joy peak Humour peak Frustration peak Anything peak For clarity Maybe he will come out of this loving me Maybe he won't I'm not taming no animal Maybe he will come out of this Maybe he will come out of this Maybe he won't Somehow I'm not too bothered Either way I refuse it's sign of maturity To be stuck in complexity I demand clarity Either way Maybe he will come out of this Somehow I'm not too bothered I'd just like to know
I wish the top comments on her videos weren't always someone bashing similar female artists. Just enjoy her music (or don't) and stop making imaginary competitions between people who are in the end doing very different things. It's just weird. I never experience things and try to immediately devalue other experiences, people, or feelings based on it, I just feel my experiences and move on.
Its so strange the level of competition between female artists, well atleast in the minds of people listening. It's un necessary and in this case bizarre to compare them. I don't think Bjork is in the same spectrum of reality as the artists people bring up let alone musical categories. I don't mean that to put them down, she is just doing things very very different different than the things they are. Lumping her and other artists in just because they are women seems illogical
Right? And those types of comments have been so overdone and copied a thousand times already. You'd think people would get tired of it, but it always gets the thumbs ups anyways. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Finally gave Bjork the time of day a month ago and I've been missing out. She is a rare gem with an amazing voice, rich lyrics and dope beats. I think it's impressive that at nearly 50 she can still release fresh, quality material too. I can't think of many singer-songwriters who pull that off after their fame peaked years ago.
@@budgie4567i don’t know icelandic; but i know that using forums such as HiNative, where you can interact with native speakers of your target language helps a lot
She's all heart. And it makes me want to be. That is what makes music and art and human connection so beautiful. Her unique style and lyrics and portrayal
That's my girl. A true genius. To hell with this person in Rolling Stone who said, "I don't think the world is engaged with her current music whatsoever." Guessing from this quote this persons' intellect doesn't extend beyond a Meghan Trainor level.
Not many people in the comment section mentioned it, but the cloak (the glittering round chips on her forehead), the rhythm (sudden stops between elongated and smooth notes) and the performance all remind me of Peking opera, Bjork especially like asian aesthetic, so it's quite possible that Peking opera is one of her inspiration for the song's aesthetics, just throwing it out here for someone that's interested.
I don’t know how someone can not think she’s a genius. I swear she’s going down in musical history as one of the great composers like a Beethoven or Tchaikovsky
It’s so wild that she started as just 10 years old, which means it’s already 40 years since she left her home planet. To bring feelings back on earth...!
Listened to this album for the first time during my parents divorce and quickly learned this album was also about Bjorks divorce. It was seriously divine timing. It got me through the hard feels fr.
Evanescence loves Björk that how I found her out and I'm loving this! She has her own way of singing and doing videos and that's beautiful to me because she's not shunning her true self in these videos! Love her so much!
Last time I heard of Bjork was when I saw her years ago wearing a swan dress that looked interesting. Fast forward 8 years, I'm randomly listening on Bjork on a flight from Amsterdam to Nairobi....this song just makes so much sense. Love this song. I think I've been missing out on life. What song should I listen to next?
+Ann Nyakundi depends on what you're looking for, her discography is quite eclectic. Her second record "Post"; is a good introduction. Mixture of styles and tempo, from industrial, to house, to big band, to trip hop :)
I totally agree, I only got into her music a couple of years ago. I feel like I've been missing out all this time although I think back then I wouldn't have appreciated her music like I do now. Two of my fave are hyperballad and joga to name a couple
+Ann Nyakundi Same ! I saw her at Rock Werchter 2007 festival when I was 17, she was just before Muse and I was like "what's that stupid girl with all her chorists and shit, we want Muse !". And two years ago I listened randomly to Hyperballad and I was totally amazed the first time I listened to it. Now she's my favorite singer.
Just discovered this song. I am sitting in the sauna crying. My girl and I literally had a two hr discussion 12 hrs ago about OUR feelings. We will be fine.
At first glance I found this video and dancing just as inaccessible as some of her other recent videos (esp. Moon), but it's been a while and her movements somehow just caught on to me. It's like I'm mimicing her without wanting to mimic her and it's fucking amazing. Vulnicura truly is a glorious release.
1:56 was the moment i fell in love with bjorks music. was not super thrilled with this song but that incredible little prechorus split this whole song wide open for me
It's incredible the way Björk can make you travel across all her sounds and creations and you never find details that gets you more and more in love with all of that No one brain back to be the same after UNDERSTANDING the Björk's music
Having met Bjork, I am and will always be amazed that such powerful music comes from such a tiny being. She is the Vegeta of the music world....minus the rage.
Björk is an ageless chaotic ice faerie, and an odd and temporary gift for earth. I am certain she eats caribou, dandylions, wild strawberries. I am also certain her tears turn into opals and diamonds.

The entire song always brings me to tears. Particularly in this film, besides loving her dancing, I adore the part in the end where she is picking and caressing her own out-of-this-world beautiful and sacred heart...
Her videos are very abstract, and conceptual... you just have to understand them. She's very intelligent, sometimes she will make something with meaning, sometimes she will not, you just have to accept the simplicity, or the complexity, and then appreciate art.
Captain Obvious says : "framestore created two main effects in the stars [...] as well as enhancing the video’s other-worldliness by extending her legs to unnatural proportions" Funny comment nonetheless.
I love it so much i can't describe how magical this! Simply the way she dances along the song and how she floats in an awkward position brings some kind of happy vibe making me smile during the whole song. She is amazingly beautiful in every aspect and her voice sends a whole wave of mixed emotions. Thank You Very Very Much again Bjork for sharing your emotions and comforting us with your songs, you're eternally in my heart
to refuse isnt just a sign of maturity but also a sign of consciousness of yourself and what is wrong and what is not..what makes you happy and what is not... experience is the key.. the magic word Betulla!
If she does something complex people are not happy because "she's getting too experimental" if she does something more traditional and simple people are still not happy because "she's over and out of ideas". It's a good thing Björk doesn't really care that much about people's critics about her work. I think this video's beauty is in its simplicity, her music is really emotional and she really knows how to reflect those emotions on her face and movements when it comes to shoot a video or performing live. She's a breath of fresh air, and she's always been. She deserves all the recognition she's getting and more.
Finally someone who say the real truth, I totally agree with you. Many people here are dumb in a unreachable way.
The Antique Well it is impossible to please everybody, but come on! Is Björk, she's always interesting. I don't worship everything she's done, but there's always honesty, beauty and thought in everything she does.
Totally agree.
For real tho. And, like, Bjork looks so cute in this video. The visuals are beautiful. And that fashion is glorious. Bjork is a trend setter. Go getta. Money maker. Bread winner!!!!

People use the word "weird" like it's a bad thing. Weird just means you have just been taken outside of your comfort zone. Weird means it's not boring! That is true art.
Exactly.
to be weird is good.
In this case - yes. But usually not.
It's unpredictable and smaller minded people can't make of any arts that aren't obvious
I loved her the first time I heard and saw her. But many dont get her. I think she is way ahead of where most people are. If artist are too far ahead of where people are it can backfire.
she's always ahead of our time
So basically she sucks
yes, that's why she's famous and you're not
Señor Pinga Oh ok so Britney Spears is a great singer who worked her way from the bottom with her amazing vocal ability?
Fame is not reduced only to own vocal ability, there are other ways to get to it. britney is an entertainer, rather than just a singer. She is a performer. Bjork is an artist.
it's a matter of taste, you don't need to be rude to express your opinion tho
"I refuse, it's a sign of maturity" * looks at the camera * I love that part
Shaaaaaade hahaha
Yes!
It was meant to be ironic I think
The mildly sassy fingerwag makes it even better
Yes!!😊
This song is exactly what it feels like when you love someone but you're scared it's over but you're trying to remain calm, keep the anxiety inside so you don't do anything rash. So you just lie in your bed and overthink and cry and hope they'll text you soon
😭😭😭
ME NOW
THIS IS ME 😭
😢
Realll
I can’t believe no one is talking about the incredible string arrangement at the end of the song (5:30 - 6:11). Very few modern artists deserve to be studied like Mozart or Bach and Björk is one of them.
Yeah exactly, that moment is a vibe
dude omg thats so beautiful. 😭.
that....that fraction of a second was like meeting god.
Björk is basically 50% good music theory, and 50% Björk weirdness. I heard Björk learned classically, but gave up because it was too strict. That was me learning Jazz drumming as a kid.
her sassy expression at 3:37 is just so damn endearing for some reason.
Mmm hmmm
3:41 too
Someone told me once "Björk's copying Lady Gaga."
One of the funniest thing I ever heard in my life.
Bruh lmao other way around
+Míriel Eledhwen “aartbeien” yeah right Bjork is unique she cant be copied hahaha
Al Jai Yeah good luck to copy Björk
+Míriel Eledhwen “aartbeien” he or she should be dead and buried, as simple as that.

A lot of people have separated their mind from their heart.
.its society.
sense of expression is no longer cherished.
best comment ever
anne bcleyn Yes!
I don't care what anyone says.
She is Bjork.
She is awesome.
She is the woman child.
I will always love her no matter what. I am truly her biggest fan.
She's a legend no doubt. It's fascinating how in less than 20 years she became a legend (I'm obviating pre-Debut era).
*****
Actually the guys at MoMA did a terrible work for her retrospective, everyone is criticizing what they've done. So, not so ''biggest fans'' I guess.
After me 😝
Bobby Holland After me juuuuuust saying :D
Risingofthephoenixx x and after, after me.
she is a true performance artist...and she is not afraid of pushing boundaries...Critics be damned...she is a true genius.
Critics adore her lol
Love when she sings, "I refuse.... it's a sign of maturity" and the look she gives.
This is when you know for a fact she has the blood of a warrior in her veins.

I'd like to read some of your reviews about Bjork's videos if you don't mind, it would be interesting to catch more than mine opinion.
Agustín Ok...
+Agustín ditto.
My reason for liking this video: LATEX
May I also see one of those reviews if possible
This entire album is awesome. A story of hurt, betrayal and sex. She's mourning her love for him.
"Since the operation, I have some of the high notes better than I have had for a while but also I've got some deep notes that I didn't have before and I haven't used them. I'd like maybe to do an EP just with the deep notes." - Björk
BjorksMusic i love this song
keep it.
Diego stfu and leave this video
It comes natural to me. High and low notes.
Put your others videos on Apple Music
Stunning as always, I love the effects, the lights, the costume and also her surreal movements. Bjork is spontaneous even in a video like this. Eccentric performance, while the background visuals warp behind and around her giving a sort of microscope view inside her wound.
i LIKE YOU, GREGOR ;)
Gregor said it right!
YASSS 👍👍👍
My #brother receives over *1,190 real instagram followers* per day and the only thing he uses is *INSTAPHAMOUS DOT COM*
Gregor Peterson I can not agree more with you :-)
Those vocal harmonies... those strings... those erratic beats, like a spasming heart. Just an absolute delight.
I JUST DISCOVERED HER I THOUGHT SHE WAS IN HER 20'S BUT SHE'S 50
+Keylla Vargas right?
a
+Evol Enmity What's wrong with that?
I would give part of my life to keep Bjork young forever
At least, she won't need a phylosophal stone... Pardon my English, Peace & Love!
+clinton tingler Thanks :)
I find it hard to imagine why so many people came here just to vote down this song and video, and make ignorant snotty comments about what they plainly don't understand. Why bother? Do they also go around specially to all their neighbours to criticize their decorating and cooking?
Björk is an amazing geyser of creativity and beauty and this song is just one more example.
The vocals sound very raw on this album. Almost like they are performed live. It's starting to grow on me like no other Björk album has before.
how do you like it now?
I’m not a master in the technicalities of music at all, but the way she sings “somehow” at 0:15 right at the beginning is so mournful and emotional, my favourite part of the song.
One of the very few true artists (not just entertainer) in today's mainstream music. Much love Björk.
+Nathan Lorenzana lol just said the same.
+Nathan Lorenzana I wouldn't say she's mainstream
+Juan P Neither would I.
+Juan P I would, lots of people still know who she is
+Nathan Lorenzana Did you know that one of the dudes from 16bit works with her a lot?
Although many may categorize this as "just simple"; in the way I see it, is like watching Vulnicura's cover being alive, like having this character expressing its own mood; I think it's beautiful. I felt exactly the same thing with "Moon" video off Biophilia.

YESSSS OMG. you worded it so right
Maybe he will come out this
Maybe he won't
Somehow I'm not too bothered either way
Maybe he will come out of this loving me
Maybe he will come out of this
I smell declarations of solitude
Maybe he will come out of this
Vietnam vet comes after the war
Lands in my house
This wild lion doesn't fit in this chair
Maybe he will come out of this loving me
Maybe he won't
I'm not taming no animal
Maybe he will come out of this
Once it was simple, one feeling at a time
It reached this peak then transformed
This abstract complex feeling
I just don't know how to handle when
Should I throw oil on one of these wounds
But which one?
The joy peak
Humor peak
Frustration peak
Anything peak for clarity
Maybe he will come out of this loving me
Maybe he won't
I'm not taming no animal
Maybe he will come out of this
Maybe he will come out of this
Maybe he won't
Somehow I'm not too bothered either way
I refuse, it's a sign of maturity
To be stuck in complexity
I demand all clarity
Maybe he will come out of this
Or he will feel so solitaire
Somehow I'm not too bothered
I'd just like to know
Thanks for the lyrics.....it helps me appreciate the music......more

At 50, I finally opened my heart and soul to Bjork....think she was and evolved into one of the greatest artists, happy birthday, Scorpio lady! You are so creative, your videos are masterpieces, thank you! A Taurus admirer from Paris France 🔥💎❤️💎🔥👍
when you sing "its a sign of maturity" and look into the camera with your falleg augun my heart melts down!!
Obviously this song is about her since ended marriage. But I feel like that line was aimed directly at her ex. That's why she looked into the camera like that. Almost as if it is a reference to something specific between her and Matthew.
In 200 years, certain of Bjork's songs, like this one and "Hyperballad," will be formally presented in concert halls on distant planets by multicepheral blue-skinned divas. These creatures will have been genetically designed specifically for the task, grown in specially formulated hemaponic gestation pods, and then put through years of strenuous and exacting training. These performers will be held in almost godlike awe by all sentient beings, even the ones who do not hear sounds in this frequency range.
this is strange but i think that in 200 years Björk will be a classic everywhere
thanks. thanks skip.
Skip Mendler Sooo... Fifth Element?
Polycube diva dance :P
SLAY!
this song helped me a lot through depression, thanks björk
This song is so stunning, and the thing I love the most about Björk is how she always sings with so much emotion! The video is so creative. The headpiece reminds me of dandelions, you know those fluffy things you blow off? I love it.
Im shocked at how many people 'dont get it'. Its art, and expression. Its such a basic human thing, yet so many people are shut off from any form of either. Shame.
Narcissism of small differences
Maybe they do get it and think it's stupid.
they don't get it because she's not twerking.
there's no hope for any these people anymore.
People dont get it because they arent trained to analyze something like this. Now get off your high horse
I still can’t get her work completely, it’s abstract, that doesn’t mean that you are smart for not understanding it. I just wish that people respect and acknowledge her creativity’s
The human race does not deserve björk, it transcends all meaning and temporality. Forever my queen
One of the best songs in history honestly
OMG Andy notice me!! I love DING + DONG
Ezequiel MR and I love you!! 🧡
🤟🏾🤎🍾🍷
@@MarinaAndTheDevil a bjork stan!?
No! Is The Song BLACK LAKE!!!
For 50 she works that skintight latex jumpsuit
think: karate. Kung fu. Dance. Martial arts.
The video has a meaning, now i get it. "Maybe he will come out of this" She refears to her heart/relationship that she shows in the video. The hands expressions kinda look like a conversation with somebody or actually arguing with that person she will may lose. She wants to know why, she wants clarity. "I demand all clarity" You can see the video goes darker and confusing (in that weird colours and constelations). "Once it was simple.... These abstract complex feelings, i dont know how to handle them". And then she wanna throw oil to all of the feelings that confuses her, because she can handle one at a time, but she doesnt know what feeling. (The you can see the oil on her face). At the end i just can think about the video and the song lyrics about a conversation between her heart and brain about how to handle the situation of losing her lover.
Bravo !
+Juan Gea wow
+Juan Gea losing a relationship without a proper explanation is a frustratingly confusing mess of a situation.
+Juan Gea losing a relationship without a proper explanation is a frustratingly confusing mess of a situation.
Juan Gea I love it, great interpretation , thanks for sharing :)
Not also is the meaning of this song fitting for a relationship decaying, but also family as well. Complexities and chaos maybe traumatic and overwhelming, but also a Clarity for one's maturity to move on, or stay in the past.
Maybe he will come out of this
Maybe he won't
Somehow I'm not too bothered
Either way
Maybe he will come out of this loving me
Maybe he will come out of this
I smell declarations of solitude
Maybe he will come out of this
Vietnam vet comes after the war
Lands in my house
This wild lion doesn't fit in this chair
Maybe he will come out of this loving me
Maybe he won't
I'm not taming no animal
Maybe he will come out of this
Once it was simple
One feeling at a time
It reached it's peak then transformed
These abstract complex feelings
I just don't know
How to handle them
Should I throw oil
On one of these moods
But which one
Make the joy peak
Humour peak
Frustration peak
Anything peak
For clarity
Maybe he will come out of this loving me
Maybe he won't
I'm not taming no animal
Maybe he will come out of this
Maybe he will come out of this
Maybe he won't
Somehow I'm not too bothered
Either way
I refuse it's sign of maturity
To be stuck in complexity
I demand clarity
Either way
Maybe he will come out of this
Somehow I'm not too bothered
I'd just like to know
Even though the song is so sad, she looked like she had a blast making this video. Here's hoping for more Bjork for the upcoming years!
I wish the top comments on her videos weren't always someone bashing similar female artists. Just enjoy her music (or don't) and stop making imaginary competitions between people who are in the end doing very different things. It's just weird. I never experience things and try to immediately devalue other experiences, people, or feelings based on it, I just feel my experiences and move on.
this is the most on point thing ive ever heard
Its so strange the level of competition between female artists, well atleast in the minds of people listening. It's un necessary and in this case bizarre to compare them.
I don't think Bjork is in the same spectrum of reality as the artists people bring up let alone musical categories. I don't mean that to put them down, she is just doing things very very different different than the things they are. Lumping her and other artists in just because they are women seems illogical
Right? And those types of comments have been so overdone and copied a thousand times already. You'd think people would get tired of it, but it always gets the thumbs ups anyways. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Finally gave Bjork the time of day a month ago and I've been missing out. She is a rare gem with an amazing voice, rich lyrics and dope beats. I think it's impressive that at nearly 50 she can still release fresh, quality material too. I can't think of many singer-songwriters who pull that off after their fame peaked years ago.
One of the most gentle . Savage , lovingly disturbed artists ever , I love it
God. I straight up learned Icelandic because of her... My word
how do you learn icelandic there arent many resources out there.
@@budgie4567 google translator + Bjork interviews
@@hyullehow reliable is google translate with icelandic-english?
@@budgie4567i don’t know icelandic; but i know that using forums such as HiNative, where you can interact with native speakers of your target language helps a lot
She's all heart. And it makes me want to be. That is what makes music and art and human connection so beautiful. Her unique style and lyrics and portrayal
Bro this is so majestic
That's my girl. A true genius. To hell with this person in Rolling Stone who said, "I don't think the world is engaged with her current music whatsoever." Guessing from this quote this persons' intellect doesn't extend beyond a Meghan Trainor level.
been a long, long time since Rolling Stone was a relevant magazine anyways..
Not many people in the comment section mentioned it, but the cloak (the glittering round chips on her forehead), the rhythm (sudden stops between elongated and smooth notes) and the performance all remind me of Peking opera, Bjork especially like asian aesthetic, so it's quite possible that Peking opera is one of her inspiration for the song's aesthetics, just throwing it out here for someone that's interested.
interesting! :)
I love Bjork, since "Debut". Total respect from France.
Björk ist a singer, a composer, a producer, a music teacher, an artist, a video director, a philosoph, a scientist and a goddes in just one person.
You forgot actress and fashion icon.
I watched this while high. I wasn't ready.
Omg sameee
Losers.
Poor soul. Get a hug 😇
@@joshuajackson4742 Do you need a hug? 😊
Christian Berrend yeah.
Seeing all of these old comments making fun of her is sad. She is one of a kind artists. Always looking for something different
3:40 that side glance snatched my edges
I don’t know how someone can not think she’s a genius. I swear she’s going down in musical history as one of the great composers like a Beethoven or Tchaikovsky
You are deluded she is too niche to ever compete to a genius composer.
@@petermitchell1191Beethoven is dead bjork is not 😍💙. btw no one was doing homogenic back in 1997.
I’m unapologetic about calling her the greatest western artist of all-time.
She was so great in Chicago! Damn the rain for cutting the concert short. Love you, Bjork!
It’s so wild that she started as just 10 years old, which means it’s already 40 years since she left her home planet. To bring feelings back on earth...!
can't describe the feeling this gives me, bjork is one in a billion
Guys- She's 49 here. She looks so good.
Listened to this album for the first time during my parents divorce and quickly learned this album was also about Bjorks divorce. It was seriously divine timing. It got me through the hard feels fr.
First I didn't like Björk cuz she was so.. different. But later I started to like her cuz she is so.. well, different. :p
It's easy to be different. It's hard to be good at it.
@@jacobshirley3457 tru
so true
You people don't realize Björk was way popular before Lana del ray and Ariana Grande. Even Lady Gaga. Waaaayy popular.
IKR?
Ray ? İt is rey and lana didnt like ariana or lady gaga. She isnt pop.
+Selim Gök Lana Del Rey can be fitted in a lot of genres like Soft POP or Indie POP
Haha I meant "Rey"! Possibly autocorrect being a bitch lol
+Gonçalo Martins mayne born to die but ultraviolence and honeymoon not POP. And she isnt popular pop music. She have 70s pop sound
only bjork could write a bunch of simple sentiments and turn it into a beautiful and enchanting song.
Evanescence loves Björk that how I found her out and I'm loving this! She has her own way of singing and doing videos and that's beautiful to me because she's not shunning her true self in these videos! Love her so much!
Last time I heard of Bjork was when I saw her years ago wearing a swan dress that looked interesting. Fast forward 8 years, I'm randomly listening on Bjork on a flight from Amsterdam to Nairobi....this song just makes so much sense. Love this song. I think I've been missing out on life. What song should I listen to next?
+Ann Nyakundi depends on what you're looking for, her discography is quite eclectic. Her second record "Post"; is a good introduction. Mixture of styles and tempo, from industrial, to house, to big band, to trip hop :)
+Ann Nyakundi I suggest the album homogenic.
I totally agree, I only got into her music a couple of years ago. I feel like I've been missing out all this time although I think back then I wouldn't have appreciated her music like I do now. Two of my fave are hyperballad and joga to name a couple
MrNaipo mine too... Joga is my favorite. Then Crystaline and Atom dance (from the new album)
+Ann Nyakundi Same ! I saw her at Rock Werchter 2007 festival when I was 17, she was just before Muse and I was like "what's that stupid girl with all her chorists and shit, we want Muse !".
And two years ago I listened randomly to Hyperballad and I was totally amazed the first time I listened to it. Now she's my favorite singer.
Just discovered this song. I am sitting in the sauna crying. My girl and I literally had a two hr discussion 12 hrs ago about OUR feelings. We will be fine.
Omg, reading this gives me a slice of Impression in what toxic relation you must probably be. Hope its better now...
@@sakuhachiri OMG. You would be wrong. We are far from toxic. What a strange thing to comment.
At first glance I found this video and dancing just as inaccessible as some of her other recent videos (esp. Moon), but it's been a while and her movements somehow just caught on to me. It's like I'm mimicing her without wanting to mimic her and it's fucking amazing. Vulnicura truly is a glorious release.
Listen Björk its a proof that you have a good ear. Just some can apreciate the quality of her complex sound.
I just LOVE how sassy she’s in this music video😭
1:56 was the moment i fell in love with bjorks music. was not super thrilled with this song but that incredible little prechorus split this whole song wide open for me
I'm not sure which I love more about Bjork....her voice, or the fact that she can dress like a S&M dandelion and still maintain her dignity!
Lol that's exactly what this outfit is now you mention it!!😆😆
S&M dandelion! Lmao I’m dead
It's incredible the way Björk can make you travel across all her sounds and creations and you never find details that gets you more and more in love with all of that
No one brain back to be the same after UNDERSTANDING the Björk's music
Shes not ahead of her time, she lives in a realm where time doesnt exist.
She creates futures for everyone else.
Having met Bjork, I am and will always be amazed that such powerful music comes from such a tiny being. She is the Vegeta of the music world....minus the rage.
You mean minus the pride lol
So Love that none of your videos are commercialized , Thank You Bjork :O)
Can you believe she's 49?
Björk is an ageless chaotic ice faerie, and an odd and temporary gift for earth.
I am certain she eats caribou, dandylions, wild strawberries.
I am also certain her tears turn into opals and diamonds.
I agree. she is my princess. all bow to the princess
She is hardly temporary. She emerges and recedes. She was here before the human race.
this is so beautiful. how can anyone not like this song or video? it's so artistically and sonically stunning.
I'm obsessed with this song, It's sooo catchy
[Intro]:
Maybe he will come out this
Maybe he won't
Somehow I'm not too bothered either way
[Chorus]
Maybe he will come out of this loving me
Maybe he will come out of this
I smell declarations of solitude
Maybe he will come out of this
[Verse 1]
Vietnam vet comes after the war
Lands in my house
This wild lion doesn't fit in this chair
[Chorus]
Maybe he will come out of this loving me
Maybe he won't
I'm not taming no animal
Maybe he will come out of this
[Verse 2]
Once it was simple
One feeling at a time
It reached its peak then transformed
These abstract complex feelings
I just don't know how to handle them
Should I throw oil on one of his moods
But which one?
The joy peak
Humor peak
Frustration peak
Anything peak
For clarity
[Chorus]
Maybe he will come out of this loving me
Maybe he won't
I'm not taming no animal
Maybe he will come out of this
[Bridge]
Maybe he will come out of this
Maybe he won't
Somehow I'm not too bothered either way
Somehow I'm not too bothered either way
I refuse, it's a sign of maturity
To be stuck in complexity
I demand all clarity
[Outro]
Maybe he will come out of this
Or he will feel solitaire
Somehow I'm not too bothered
I'd just like to know
The entire song always brings me to tears. Particularly in this film, besides loving her dancing, I adore the part in the end where she is picking and caressing her own out-of-this-world beautiful and sacred heart...
Bjork's videos are always a delicious feast for the eyes.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
no their not, they scare me. I hate them so much
+Twaimz And Llamas yes, face your fears and enjoy....😝
+rose1971 I like her voice. it's amazing. but not the videos.
Her videos are very abstract, and conceptual... you just have to understand them. She's very intelligent, sometimes she will make something with meaning, sometimes she will not, you just have to accept the simplicity, or the complexity, and then appreciate art.
yeah try watching this on shrooms, it's so crazy...
Outstanding as always.
You just can't listen to Björk as background music. It requires attention.
Right !
True
Damn right!
The creativity is just freakin insane...
This is a perfect visual representation of how energy looks like
this is really original and oddly pleasing
BJÖRK IS PURE ART.
She seems like a flower that's interesting to look at but if u touch it your throat will swell shut
her legs looks suspiciously long
Lmao ikr
Aryeh Goldner lmao nice reference
Captain Obvious says : "framestore created two main effects in the stars [...] as well as enhancing the video’s other-worldliness by extending her legs to unnatural proportions"
Funny comment nonetheless.
I love it so much i can't describe how magical this!
Simply the way she dances along the song and how she floats in an awkward position brings some kind of happy vibe making me smile during the whole song. She is amazingly beautiful in every aspect and her voice sends a whole wave of mixed emotions.
Thank You Very Very Much again Bjork for sharing your emotions and comforting us with your songs, you're eternally in my heart
'lionsong' + 'vulnicura' = 10+
so much i wanna say about this but i wanna say it in private to #Björk
how does this get better the more times you listen to it? Like the first time i wasn't feeling it, but now i'm practically singing along to it
In my opinion "Vulnicura" is the BEST album since "Homogenic"
What about Vespertine!!
Timothy Pullins it's great...
post was amazing too
Emira Tucker "debut" is my favorite
+orestes samolis i love debut! it used to be my cd of choice for my daily walk to work as a teen.
she ate him up
Such an artist
this is art and its amazing.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!! I can feel my soul dancing even.
Simplicity and complexity together is very difficult to master. Fantastic artist. 🙌🏼
4:52 most beautiful instruments and vocals.
Bjork can dance. This woman is my spirit animal.
to refuse isnt just a sign of maturity but also a sign of consciousness of yourself and what is wrong and what is not..what makes you happy and what is not... experience is the key.. the magic word Betulla!
I'm scared of this but can't stop watching
