The way the choir sounds live, how beautiful these women are, their outfits...it brings me to tears. Björk is the center, but they add so much to this performance...
I distinctly remember seeing this as a 15 year-old when it aired and trying to convince my little sister that Bjork is better than Britney Spears... I don’t think I ever broke through
You are absolutely right- Björk is quite sophisticated and unique in her music and art, and she's on a level that Britney Spears could never even begin to comprehend.
We have a spotift playlist at work where each of us gets to pick 40 songs that play over the speakers during the day. I work at a used bookstore. It's a great job. :) But....I added this song, and several other Bjork songs. She's a musical genius. And....get this...most of my coworkers MAKE FUN of her singing. Wtf, right? And these people are all smart creative cool people. And they think she "sings like a dying whale." Don't worry though...every time we submit a new playlist, I always include a couple Bjork songs. This last one included Venus as a Boy, Human Behavior, and Joga. I'm trying to start them off easy....picking the poppier stuff. I'm committed to changing their minds lol, it's my mission....although it's not going well.... Wish me luck!
I too seen her live Gerrard, long time ago when she was touring the album post, was a tiny little venue in Dublin Ireland, dropped some acid, and was taken to another universe! Amazing 😍
Yet another example of how good David Letterman’s sound people were. That kind of brilliant performance would have been lost on other talk shows with muddled audio. This is my favourite video on RUclips. Thank you for uploading.
That's how I felt about Mariah Carey's Butterfly performance. Letterman's sound people picked up the intricate background work (instrumentals and vocals) while places like SNL totally muddled it.
I've been listening to Bjork for over 20 years and this is the first live performance I've ever seen. This is so so clean and perfect. The placidity on her face as she absolutely smashes you is just....
I had the shock of a lifetime to meet her at a Cannibal Corpse show in L'amour Brooklyn NY. She showed up after her premiere of Dancer in the Dark movie in the city. She was soo nice! She said she was blown away by death metal vocalists lol. So amazing!
Incredible. She destroys me. I think I’ve got my life figured out, I hear her, it all comes crashing back, I don’t know what to do, I’m the same person I was ten, 20 years ago, in that private face that one only shows to oneself in the mirror. I love her so much.
Fuuuuuuuuuckkkk.... this song still moves me to my core. I love you and utterly appreciate you, Bjork. Thank you so much for your amazing voice and art
I loved Vespertine when it came out, but looking back, it was really something special, and I’m sad I passed up opportunities to see it toured. This song is just a marvel.
Björk sounds amazing live. Such a unique artist. She has always done whatever the ***uck she wants, full artistic control. Nobody gets to listen to anything till it's done, and that's how you let true artists work. It works perfectly! She knows more about sound and music in general than most musicians out there.

Admiring the harpist, totally awesome, as is Bork and all the muscians in this totally beautiful auditory tapestry of silky vibes so beautifully woven together, love it, always!!
I'll never forget when this album came out. I liked her previous albums, but Vespertine moved me so much. Still one of my favorite albums from any genre--and my favorite from her entire catalogue.
Primeira vez que ouvi Bjork estava no carro de um amigo e fiquei aturdida. Fui comprar o CD imediatamente p ouvir tudo.... centenas de vezes isso foi em 1993. Minha sobrinha vinha muito em minha casa e um dia coloquei o CD para ela ouvir e ela enlouqueceu!!! Ela tinha 6 anos de idade e toda vez que voltava em minha casa queria ouvir o CD. 10 anos depois coloquei o CD para minha filha q tinha 5 anos de idade e ela também amou, queria dançar sem parar. Crianças são abertas a novidades, não estão enquadradas em modelos impostos. Acho Bjork maravilhosa, ela é o que é, sem se enquadrar em padrões por isso é genial e mexe tanto com as pessoas mais sensíveis. Hoje, abril de 2022 e a música dela ainda me refresca, me alegra, me renova nos meus 57 anos de idade. Ela é atemporal 💚💛🇧🇷💛💚 BRASIL
He was more interested in pointing out the native choir and what they were wearing than the song and performance. Bjork looked so awkward at the end sitting in the chair next to him.
Thank you, glad to find another who feels the same. Bjork was stunning. And seeing the music box she envisioned is a bonus. The musicians the choir were great too. Letterman was awful every time.
I'm in awe even after listening to her for over 30 years and she is my favorite female artist of all time... Just speechless her Raw authentic pure passionate spirit that resonates so incredibly powerful you feel it in the depths of your soul... Just Amazing... There's nobody else like her in the world... Such a brilliant creative force who was never afraid to be who she is all unique in her own Raw Power a phenomenally gifted musician and artist... She's a genius and I fall in love with her because she shows who she is from her heart so beautifully done words cannot accurately express how she makes us feel like we just traveled to another world full of pure raw emotion and truth... Absolutely beautiful...💖🔥🔥💖💖🙌
the next week, they brought the latin class into the german class, because the german class had the tv. I remember most of us watching in dread as the second plane hit and I remember the group of boys in the back of the class that was talking and not taking it seriously, and I think about how much hate and anger I carry for those kids to this day. Anyways, Bjork is great.
So surreal seeing her promote this album on Jay Leno and David Letterman of all places, although Letterman was a bit more eclectic in his musical guests.
I can hear here that the lyrics by the end are "he makes me want to hand myself over", but for this while time when I was listening tj the studio version I thought it was "hurt myself again" 😳
Matmos on electronics. I saw this tour on SF. Rachel's and Matmos opened. The following night those two bands played The Bottom of the Hill, and allowed me to do a soundboard recording. Matmos asked for a copy, and then used the Rachel's recording to construct a new CD of manipulations of their performance.

Britney is pretty good Umm
I love both!!

the harp sounds like snowfall
Truly beautiful
Such a description!! Respect to you.
Bjork’s singing is yet to b matched. It’s innocent, playful, child-like naive while sensual, sexy, and cathartic to the fullest..
This is what every musician should be: unique, eclectic and original.

@@avedic If everyone had the same taste we'd just be a bunch of clones, is that what you really want?
@@avedic well Spotify doesn't pay artists and their CEO is investing billions on military. I wouldn't use it if I were you. I deleted mine asap.
@@CindyBarg That's what the radio wants, sadly.
Yes, every artist.
I like how the background singers are bopping on beat.
I am privileged to have seen here live
I too seen her live Gerrard, long time ago when she was touring the album post, was a tiny little venue in Dublin Ireland, dropped some acid, and was taken to another universe! Amazing 😍
@kountreepimp38 really hope you get to see her too, would love to see her live again, shame she doesn't tour here much anymore 😒
I saw her from the front row this year bro 😎 She still got it
que bom
👏👏👏👏👍

You can hear bass so well. Really great sound engineers.
That's the one thing I give him credit. People always sound good on his show.
That's how I felt about Mariah Carey's Butterfly performance. Letterman's sound people picked up the intricate background work (instrumentals and vocals) while places like SNL totally muddled it.
Cbs is glovalist garbage ,
Poor Americans . Brilliant Bjork
Pretty sure the instrumental is just a backing track? So pretty easy to mix with the vocals.
That crowd was blessed
Free tickets!!! And they got to see God.
The Greenland choir is...AMAZING
I've been listening to Bjork for over 20 years and this is the first live performance I've ever seen. This is so so clean and perfect. The placidity on her face as she absolutely smashes you is just....
For two more of her most incredible live vocals, search youtube for Jools Joga and Jools Bachelorette
The ... first? Where've you been?
I really like this performance of Pagan Poetry. Björk’s vocals are great, the choir are cool, music is awesome and they all look fantastic.
Love bjork
Very true
I had the shock of a lifetime to meet her at a Cannibal Corpse show in L'amour Brooklyn NY. She showed up after her premiere of Dancer in the Dark movie in the city. She was soo nice! She said she was blown away by death metal vocalists lol. So amazing!
Bad ass
Classic Bjork move. One of the many reasons she's awesome!
ngl that wouldve fit in so well in medullá
Bjork is a genius in her own right.
Lastima la Björk ahora proenculado obligada
I'd say she's a genius periodt
7 days before 9/11.....
Weird man....
I remember watching THIS performance live, in my dorm room. Different world....
Incredible. She destroys me. I think I’ve got my life figured out, I hear her, it all comes crashing back, I don’t know what to do, I’m the same person I was ten, 20 years ago, in that private face that one only shows to oneself in the mirror. I love her so much.
Fuuuuuuuuuckkkk.... this song still moves me to my core. I love you and utterly appreciate you, Bjork. Thank you so much for your amazing voice and art
She's gorgeous
hauntingly beautiful. thank god for this woman.
Yes indeed.

Haha, too many fake artist out there
To live through this era is unexplainable. I can’t put it in words. Life can’t be rewritten to explain it.
Every generation claims the same. No such thing as best era. But good for you and your nostalgia.
@@LizEsc this might actually bit it tho playa
Not only does she write music, she designs and makes her clothes!
and produces songs
jajaj please its Alexander McQueen
She wore a lot of Alexander McQueen
The greatest vocalist of all time
This is pure art. Only Björk, Only she!!!
What a devastating, jaw dropping performance. It made me stop in my tracks. One of the all time greats. Pure passion, heart and artistry!
Man, she's always a decade ahead of its time.
I love her so much.
You love her, you love her, you love her, you love her.
I love this live version, the chorus sounds so clean...

do pluto lmao
If Venus as a boy doesn't do it nothing will
I've come across this on 9/4/23, twenty two years from the day. i love björk so much ❤
aired 7 days before twenty years of trauma spirals
Admiring the harpist, totally awesome, as is Bork and all the muscians in this totally beautiful auditory tapestry of silky vibes so beautifully woven together, love it, always!!
melody tears soul apart and after pause you hear like parts floating in the space while they telling "she loves him"
I love that the chorus girl waved at the camera 😁
240p we meet again.
One of the most important artists of our time.
An Actual Artist. Hail Björk.
I love her little curtsey of thanks when she finishes!
You don't just listen to Bjork. You experience her.
When the harp strikes
I'll never forget when this album came out. I liked her previous albums, but Vespertine moved me so much. Still one of my favorite albums from any genre--and my favorite from her entire catalogue.
2023 and still sound soo pure and fresh
she makes me know i am alive by the chills. my heart electrified to five times its normal size.

que lindo seu relato!!!
this performance gave me chills.
Best performance I have ever seen on Letterman.
Björk's sound is epic. 💓She's one of a kind. Phenomenal performance at Letterman.
I literally had a inner body shiver from the top of my heat that shivered all the way to my brain. Magic!
Oh come on letterman, he looks so underwhelmed after the performance, i would be weeping at her feet
No kidding! I got misty eyed just watching this. If I ever saw her live, I’d be bawling the whole time.
He was more interested in pointing out the native choir and what they were wearing than the song and performance. Bjork looked so awkward at the end sitting in the chair next to him.
@@Music-tg5is To be fair, and I am a huge fan of hers, but she generally looks awkward in show-based interviews!
Thank you, glad to find another who feels the same. Bjork was stunning. And seeing the music box she envisioned is a bonus. The musicians the choir were great too.
Letterman was awful every time.
The year 2021, almost the year 2022 ... and I still have goosebumps.
One of the most creative popular musicians of all time.
I'm reminded of all the very serious feelings I had at age 17....
She is so unique , we don’t deserve Björk 😍
She looks amazing...
the harmonies of this song are so perfect that I want to cry
stunning. I’m crying.
Absolutely SUBLIME! Saw her last week in London. Have never seen a show as amazing as that...... Just beyond!
2:35 that belting she does there takes me somewhere magical ❤
2017 y volveré en 2067
Adored this mad genius since high school. She even curtsies; 2-cute ;-)

Inimitable. Inventif, étrange, incroyable, tout simplement. Merci Björk👍🏻
Never be afraid to experiment outside the box. Absolutely loving what Bjork does. Loving who she is. And I am the him she loves!
Just mesmerized the fuk outta that audience and
Me.
It's 2020 now and this song still gets me! And it's LIVE!!!! 📱😺💛
How have I never seen this before? Amazing.
There is no one like Bjork..
Incredible how she could reproduce this live
She always looks mesmerising, she always sounds mesmerised. I’m very mesmerised. I like being mesmerised.
Simplemente maravillosa, así como las y los músicos que siempre la han acompañado. Maravillosos.
Wow this performance was just a week before September 11, 2001.
Yeah a lot of stuff happened a week before 9/11
@@victor-zi7bu I cheated on a Latin test probably a week back from that yeah.
the next week, they brought the latin class into the german class, because the german class had the tv.

Björk, please get back to your Vespertine era, cause it was extraordinary.....
So surreal seeing her promote this album on Jay Leno and David Letterman of all places, although Letterman was a bit more eclectic in his musical guests.
This performance was awesome!
Desde mi adolescencia, allá x el 96 que me encanta Björk 🙌
@CAGA FRACASADOS PUTAKUS DE PODIUM perdón no entendí tu comentario
Ok I'm 26 and never really got into Bjork before, but this REALLY reminds me of Coco Rosie! Cool!!
vespertine by far my favorite of all her children
Holy fucking shit idk what happened towards the end but I got goosebumps
Goddess from another dimension.
Preciosa Bjork tu voz incomprensible y tu belleza desamparada siempre me gustarán e inquietaran
Always loved her...!
My favorite from her
I can hear here that the lyrics by the end are "he makes me want to hand myself over", but for this while time when I was listening tj the studio version I thought it was "hurt myself again" 😳
Same, it's hand
Should have millions of views.
Fantastic
Absolutely beautiful on every level.
Such a great cd!!!
She is her own genre
Que maravilla, esta es una de mis top 5 canciones de bjork forever
cuál es tu top?

..& the whole world would change completely one week later.
Beutiful this is what a musical genius looks like amazing
Te amo Bjork
🥹😭 This reminds me of the time Tricky sang Broken Homes with PJ Harvey on Letterman 3 years before. ❤
On repeat. Homeschool.
Stunning track, stunning artist, for me top ten in the list of world's finest artists, male/female or group, bjork mesmerises me, ❤️❤️❤️
love her man😩
it's a pleasure listening to Bjork
I wonder if talk show hosts take for granted having AMAZING artists perform in front of them every single night
