One breath away From Mother Oceania Your nimble feet make prints In my sand You have done Good for yourselves Since you left my wet embrace And crawled ashore Every boy is a snake is a lily Every pearl is a lynx is a girl Sweet like harmony Made into flesh You dance by my side Children sublime You show me continents I see the islands You count the centuries I blink my eyes Hawks and sparrows Race in my waters Stingrays are floating Across the sky Little ones My sons and my daughters Your sweat is salty, I am why I am why I am why Your sweat is salty, I am why I am why I am why
@@eduardochavacano lol what are you even talking about. The original comment was a positive comment, then people like you bring negativity into everything. Just chill :) No need to be so mad.
Aún recuerdo cuando salió este vídeo en un canal cultural de acá de México, ponían vídeos de estreno. Yo estaba embarazada de mi primer hijo, cuando escuché la canción le subí el volumen, soy fan desde el 94' y mi panza se movió repentinamente y parecía que mi bebé reaccionaba a la voz y los suaves sonidos y armonias de mi etérea Björk, hoy mi hijo tiene 16 años y es tan fan como yo.
@@mjrmalfunction Interesting....I was at work looking for something new....and I was on Rolling Stone's website and they had an article on her...I had heard of her but never heard her....so I looked up her first album to try and I liked it . Now I am a big fan....enjoy
This song is what first got me into bjork. I was in middle school when she sang this song at the opening ceremony of the Olympics, this album was my first real exposure to contemporary avant garde and forever changed my experience of music. THANK YOU BJORK you are forever my QUEEN 👑
Quieter than the vacuum ... Louder than the light What melts away come break of day shines brightly in the night More subtle than the simple ... More obvious than might With all bridges burned away alas we do what's right Thanks and praise ! )o( shifting tides
björk : surrounded Hello Bjork, we miss you!!! To this day your music is so maxing you me . I’ve like you since at least 1997. 🥰 sending love. More more !
I have never been a fan of Bjork, I’ve known of her existence but never really experienced her art. This is incredible. The thumbnail was striking, so much so that i had to click on it. This woman is a talented, eccentric, alien queen.
@@resurgam75 I dont think Medulla is gonna appeal to the non bjork fan coming from myself I seen this referenced over and over and I didn't like it. Hyperballad is probably my favorite bjork song, right up there with this one. The only reason I even found bjork is from this song being sampled by E-40 - Spend the night. lol. No regrets!
To me it´s breathtaking how the limitation of words is overcomed by the expressions through the pictures, voices, colours, shapes of things, lights and shadows. Only something, coming from heart, from soul, from spirit, from deepest and free connection with nature on the earth and in the whole universe and with her breathing in and breathing out, can be as such deep, impressive and expressive - this is the voice of nature. Thank you to speak through this holy alliance of the three - heart - soul - spirit - sourounded and leavened by nature´s mights, energies and beings everywhere and everytime - it´s a honour to live in the times, I am able to receive all this through the artworks from Björk. Thank you and please continue being nature. *The might of smiling always is in us, around us and with us.*
Those background voices and melodies coming from unknown entities .... they sound like sirens, star fishes and other magical sea critters singing and chanting together in the middle of a magical coral reef, chanting as tribute to the magix and prowess of the aquatic kingdom. At 1:48 I can just picture the sirens swirling around lighting up the ocean as they swim uowards to the rhythm of their melodies. Absolutely a mesmerizing song.
This song is just one of those songs that is always with you, or me rather. Even after all these years after it's release I still just find myself occasionally singing it to myself and thinking about it's meaning. If you ever read this Bjork - Thank you.
I’ve been in love with song since the first time I’ve heard it years ago. It’s not really like anything else I’ve heard. That voice is one of a kind and beautiful
No word i write is good enough to discribe this exquisite piece of art! ❤❤❤ Her voice, the story, the words, the styling, the choir, the beats and sound....wow wow wow...
Very creative. I think this is why Bjork is still one of my favourite artists. No other singer is quite like her. She experiments with all kinds of sounds combined with her amazing voice to produce a musical rainbow
Finally, I remember seeing this back in the day with the shittiest quality. The visuals are still stunning even to today's standards. One o fmy favorites.
Oceania made me like Bjork. I was a fan of Olympics Ceremonies since 2012 and the full ceremonies of Rio 2016, London 2012, Beijing 2008 and ATHENS 2004 where she performed. I'm really glad i got interest in Olympics if not, i would never know Bjork. LOVE YOU QUEEN BJORK
Reginaldo Maciel perhaps because the value of this reality and truth of her in this state with those “holes” / circles is greater than the fear and imagination itself? In other words, truth / reality is more understood and pleasing than what your “inaccurate” imagination can conjure up?
I remember my friend Chiron gifting this album (Medúlla) to me the week it came out. He knew I was a Mike Patton fan and I had never heard Björk. I must have listened to this song 4 or 5 times in a row when I first heard it. I became a big fan of Björk shortly after.
wowow That voice... has not changed since the first time I heard it. Pillows and honey to my ears, Roses with flowers and thorns... the storries and riddles. Love it! Thank you for these things!
You have always brought me peace, you remind me of someone very special who has long since left this world. Her spirit was also free and I can imagine her dancing to your music. :)
Definitely agree with you. Although, I'm one who is still trying to settle into her, therefore I feel like I'm playing catch up when I watch the videos cuz there's so much to look at but then I say hey, what was that lyric again and then i have to ponder what she means. I'm trying. Any tips ?

One breath away
From Mother Oceania
Your nimble feet make prints
In my sand
You have done
Good for yourselves
Since you left my wet embrace
And crawled ashore
Every boy is a snake is a lily
Every pearl is a lynx is a girl
Sweet like harmony
Made into flesh
You dance by my side
Children sublime
You show me continents
I see the islands
You count the centuries
I blink my eyes
Hawks and sparrows
Race in my waters
Stingrays are floating
Across the sky
Little ones
My sons and my daughters
Your sweat is salty, I am why
I am why
I am why
Your sweat is salty, I am why
I am why
I am why
I was scrolling for this. Thank u. 👍🏻

U are amazing
This was my mom's favorite Björk song.

The way she romanticizes things are just beautiful. And I love her aesthetics. That crystal face make up and dress are as stunning as her music is.

My first Björk song was Wanderlust and i was stunned!
I fondly remember myself eagerly waiting for her to sing this at the 2004 Olympic Games opening ceremony in Athens, Greece
But this type of song is not for peasants!
So did I and was so mad bc Katie Couric and her partner spoke over the performance.
This song is what first got me into bjork. I was in middle school when she sang this song at the opening ceremony of the Olympics, this album was my first real exposure to contemporary avant garde and forever changed my experience of music. THANK YOU BJORK you are forever my QUEEN 👑
It was one of the first songs i liked from her too
Same to me
ME TOO!!!
Same here, that day my life changed!
Same story here!!! 😃❤🍷
This song always made feel like I was home. Medúlla in general is a very special album, it's comforting and warm, with a tinge of melancholy.
Fr, my favourite song off of it is Desired Constellation
She's a fountain of love.
@non so che nome mettere non so che nome mettere especially a Scorpio girl
ruclips.net/video/R4LkyQVtVrI/видео.html
except for reporters and bangkok.
Shes a fountain of blood in the shape of a girl
In the shape of a girl too
This is by far one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard; which I can say about a lot of Björk songs. She is absolutely gorgeous inside and out.
Bjork is in another musical mind. you either like what she does or you get turned off by her style. she's truly one of a kind.
This has always been one of my top 10 favourite Bjork songs. The intricate arrangement is even more arresting in HD.
every boy is a snake is a lily
every pearl is a lynx is a girl .
Take me with you to the island in Oceania. I will play for you on seashell.
I am a snake :)
Quieter than the vacuum ... Louder than the light
What melts away come break of day shines brightly in the night
More subtle than the simple ... More obvious than might
With all bridges burned away alas we do what's right
Thanks and praise !

do youu shave your poosay
I just realized the entire song and music is made from human voice, a testament to the "living" and life context of the lyrics.
As a guy with a great falsetto,
This is the one song I enjoy singing on my own
Those background voices and melodies coming from unknown entities .... they sound like sirens, star fishes and other magical sea critters singing and chanting together in the middle of a magical coral reef, chanting as tribute to the magix and prowess of the aquatic kingdom. At 1:48 I can just picture the sirens swirling around lighting up the ocean as they swim uowards to the rhythm of their melodies. Absolutely a mesmerizing song.
Oh mother Oceania, This what we call a masterpiece
I can just listened to any Bjork songs all day long, everyday... and NEVER get sicked of it!
I don't even speak very well and this song is all done with mouth sounds. Love it.
