I always wondered why Quicksand ended so abruptly, but maybe it symbolizes the abrupt ending of her relationship with Matthew Barney or the start of a new chapter: Utopia.
I think it signifies her rebelling against the suffering spiral that the whole album puts you through. like an “enough is enough” kind of thing. Also because that ending is so abrupt and jarring it can make you reflect on the whole journey you went on since the beginning of the album. It could make you annoyed at how imperfect it feels as an ending. It’s one of the few unsmooth sounding parts of the album and I think it’s her boldest ending.
I think you need to think about it more from a production standpoint. The abrupt ending implies Björk cut off the part of the production that followed. Which implies the song does not actually end there, but it was still cut off. This could make a reference to both parts of the lyrics; one, the parts where she vows to keep standing upright for the future of her offspring, and two, where she explains that giving up cuts off the whole lineage and ends it there. So it probably represents both going on and giving up.
considering what Björk said about Utopia, that she see it as a sci-fi-ish post-apocaliptic land floating in the sky with mutant organisms, it makes the end of Vulnicura even more impactful, if you think about it
Same bro. I watched it like a year and a half ago and the memory is still printed in my brain. I didn’t have to see one of my favorite artists of all time and that character get hurt like that😭
Gling Glo it’s not an album from Björk It’s from an Icelandic band Edit: Now I realized u were right, Gling-Glo is an important part of Bjork discogra and I should have include it 😊
@@bjorkrules9563 Your logic is misguided given the underlying intent of these quick videos shows Bjork's dynamic musical range over time. Omitting Gling glo is quite a weird place to draw a distinction considering you bothered to include her teenage album from 1977 (before she was with the Sugarcubes in the 80s) not to mention her later soundtrack work. It was released a mere three years before Debut. If you listen to the album, Bjork's vocals are front and center. Her name is listed first and separately from the jazz trio with whom she collaborated. Unlike Bjork's work with the Sugarcubes, her name and identity was never fully subsumed into the group. It was a one-off project even distributed under her main label. For all intents and purposes, Gling glo is very much a Bjork album and deserves to be included. The fact that she collaborated with the Icelandic jazz trio is missing the point.
The last seconds of Fossora

It’s almost like Vespertine knew it was so good it didn’t want to end
Same with Vulnicura
i love that sometimes she'll just end with silence
Imagine if they ended mid-song. that would be terrible
usually each track on an album has a few seconds of silence at the end, as a kind of buffer
i’ve never heard a björk song before so this just sounds like a collection of really good console start jingles

This song isn’t about Matthew Barney, is about her mother that had an heart attack
@@bjorkrules9563 oh yeah mb I forgot lol, but I think I was talking about the song within the context of vulnicura as a whole

The end of Vespertine is soooo pleasent to my ears
yeah its my favourite too
Last 10 seconds of Biophilia is actually almost complete silence. Solstice has a massive 10 second silent space at the end.
Yeah that is why I did put the part where she sings
A few seconds are enough to remind you that Quicksand is a masterpiece
Vulnicura's ending sounds like the birth of the universe
teee
And then utopia starts
considering what Björk said about Utopia, that she see it as a sci-fi-ish post-apocaliptic land floating in the sky with mutant organisms, it makes the end of Vulnicura even more impactful, if you think about it
I really love the ending of My Juvenile, where you hear her walk out of the studio. It feels so dramatic like listening to a child walk out the door…
All Is Full Of Love is such a cerebral and incredible closer, especially after the hardcore european rave/drill song that is Pluto.
So at the end of Medulla she turns into Michael Jackson?
omg LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 💀💀💀
NAUURRRRRR
STOP IT
Considering she was a major fan of his work, it's understandable.
lol
Love how abrupt the Vulnicura one is
Yeah
Some of them sound like a Windows shutdown
this video is a track in itself
the ending of Debut and Medúlla were Anchor Song and Triumph of a Heart ONLY, Atlantic and Komiđ are cute bit thats IT
Actually the end of Debut was Play Dead
@@bjorkrules9563 no it was NOT that was also a bonus track luv xx stop playing!!!!
I’m my album version of Debut it ends with Play Dead
@Gustavo López Oh…
The track played for Debut was Atlantic not play dead.
These were not the official Debut and Medúlla endings from international releases though
Yes
Those are bonus tracks
@@bjorkrules9563 what’s the medulla one called?
@@d1sturb1a98 komið
i love medullas ending
I have recognized most of them… love that music specially post,homogenic,vespertine, médula 😃😅
I forgot how good Biophilia was. Utopia is my favourite overall, can't believe how good it is imo
Art. Thank you very much 💜
this is so good
The first ten seconds of post is Me waking up and getting ready in the morning
POV: you are trying out the ringtones on your new iphone 3, it's 2014.
Vespertine's ending sounds like a game over screen from Sega Saturn game
Yeah
Now, first 10 and last 10
Solstice 💓
Böh!
Vespertine sounds like a ringtone I need to be using as an alarm
reminds me of Disco Elysium
dude the ending of Dancer In the Dark fucked me up
Same bro. I watched it like a year and a half ago and the memory is still printed in my brain. I didn’t have to see one of my favorite artists of all time and that character get hurt like that😭
@@MaggotMaggs420 write a fanfic ending and pretend the movie never happened.
@@shawnbay2211 so true😭😭

You’re missing Gling Glo (1990).
Gling Glo it’s not an album from Björk
It’s from an Icelandic band
Edit: Now I realized u were right, Gling-Glo is an important part of Bjork discogra and I should have include it 😊
