Björk shows residential recording studio in Spain

To record in privacy away from media attention, Björk's tour drummer Trevor Morais offered his residential studio. It's located on the lower level of a 7-bedroom villa in Marbella(near Málaga), Andalucia, Spain. Björk had originally intended to stay only briefly, but later decided to record the entirety of 'Homogenic' there(1997). She made a final trip out of the country before staying in Spain. As she had done since moving to London, Björk returned to Iceland for Christmas. While there, she wrote more new songs for Homogenic, including 'Jóga'. Before returning to record, she was sidetracked by a two-week worldwide press tour for the promotion of her remix album Telegram, which had just been released.
After returning to the studio in Spain in late January, Björk had intended to produce the album alone but sought collaborators including Dravs, Howie B, Guy Sigsworth and LFO's Mark Bell. Howie B had worked with Björk on 'Debut' and 'Post' and Sigsworth had played harpsichord on 'Post'. Wu-Tang Clan almost contributed to the production of 'Homogenic', but were unable due to their production on the album Wu-Tang Forever, which had taken longer than planned. Most of the melodies on the album were created by Björk, who then composed string sections on a Casio keyboard and brought them to programmers who would add rhythmic patterns. Other unorthodox methods of recording were used during the production, including Björk wanting to record outside on the porch and using non-professionals to help with production, such as Rebecca Storey, who was hired as a babysitter but added to the production staff after showing interest in the equipment.
String arrangements were added late in the recording process. Björk had friend Eumir Deodato conduct, transcribe and compose original pieces for the few songs that Björk did not arrange herself. To keep with the Icelandic theme of the album, Björk ordered the services of the Icelandic String Octet.
Film edited for this video: Björk appeared on the well-respected British talk show The South Bank Show in 1998 to discuss her career and her music, in particular her album Homogenic, which had just been released. Björk: The South Bank Show features the entirety of Björk's appearance on the program, including her interview with host Melvyn Bragg and footage of Björk in the recording studio, performing several songs from her album.

At 2:57 she says to the musicians in icelandic "if the cameras at any point annoy you, let me know. cause this (the music) comes first". she really wants the best sound thats why she always makes such amazing songs
Thanks for that. For a non-Icelandic speaker, it almost sounded like she was (nicely) admonishing them for something.
As a musician it is critical to be free of distraction during creation unless using obstacles as a tool.
All for show
Are her songs really amazing ?
@@Brucelee-pv6uf yes lol, it might take time to adjust to them but when it hits you it's so fucking beautiful, at least for me they are
"Electricity has always existed" for some reason when she says it it's just sounds like a phenomenal fact you never knew 🤩😍
ENERGY
It certainly isn't something we never knew, but I must admit it's not something I've given much thought to. Think about it. It has always existed, and yet, unlike water or fire, we took so long to actually harness it! It makes you wonder, what else is there in the world that's always been there, and we're not even actually implementing in our lives? Food for thought.
@@SirCaco as above so below. A lot of elements in the outer world are actually found in the body (inner world).
@@harpsailorharp6716gg
@@SirCaco i love this comment
anyone who produces their own music, does all the lyrics and vocals and instruments, is an absolute genius. i know bjork also hires other musicians but damn she has the vision all in her mind
She doesn't do all that.
Only Prince could.
@@reinforcedpenisstem wtf are you talking about? She literally does do all of that. The fact that you think Prince is somehow the only one to ever do that is completely laughable.
@@razrv3lc Of course she doesn't do all the production and playing. The credits tell you that.
And Prince is the best example I can think of who actually did do that.
@@reinforcedpenisstem Even Prince didn't do everything by himself. In that category no popular artist beats Stevie Wonder. He was a workaholic and basically controlled and nearly did every single aspect of his music especially in the 70s.
@@PatoNani18 Yes he did. His first two albums were written, composed and performed all by Prince. No other person.
"i thought i could organize freedom, how Scandinavian of me"-always loved that line
Me too, as a swede I always giggle a bit lol
I am no scandanavian and what dose this mean? 😅
@@Sahfarrymost scandinavians are famous for being very organized, whereas icelanders are more spontaneous and not too worried about making plans and sort of go with the flow… so that’s what she means i think.
Bjork is a real artist. I respect and admire her so much!!!

you must have very low standards.
Me too, and I feel terribly jealous of her as a musician myself - she approaches music in a similar way I do, but she's 10 times better. Homogenic is an incredible album, and way ahead of its time.
@@jeremyjohnson7676 bjork being part of low quality music? i understand there are people equal or more talented than her, but bjork does an amazing music
@@jeremyjohnson7676 oh shut up
A lot people say Björk is ahead of her time, that's definitely a compliment to humanity since I doubt there'll ever be a time where Björk's music will get the attention it really deserves. She's on a completely different wave length than 99% of humanity
Bjork was a huge star in the 90s. Her songs would play on radio and mtv all the time and she would appear on red carpets etc. she got a lot of attention and recognition but maybe you’re right in that the media usually focused on her quirkiness instead of her genius.
In case anyone is a gear nerd like me: The small devices she mentions at 8:19 are the Yamaha QY20 Music Sequencer, which you can see her using in another video on this channel (the home studio from 1994). The one in her hand from Mark Bell I think is a Yamaha SU10 Sampling Unit.
Thanks alot
thats exactly what I was wondering right now, thanks
I scrolled down hoping someone had posted that. thanks!
Thanks for clearing that up, i feel complete now
You awesome nerd...
One of the greatest artists of all time. A true original and utterly fearless musician.
Sadly, I don't think she will ever get the recognition that she deserves.
@@erato1 are you kidding? She was huge in the early 2000s
@@atetraxx Yeah, very few people in the US know her stuff. They may have heard of her but that is mostly for her fashion not her music.
She is a scam, only smoke.
@@erato1 you know there are other countries in the world.. we know her
Joga is one of the greatest songs of all time, it's such a privilege to be able to view the behind the scenes making of that track, one of the greatest arrangements ever. Stirring track
That was one of the primary songs that made me fall in love with her artistry
How could anyone not love Bjork. One of the artists around right now that I suspect people will still be discovering in 20 or 50 years. Very gifted.
Way before her time. Her music will be played for centuries to come.
Matt with all due respect, I have to say from what I've heard from her so far I don't consider her a great songwriter or singer. If you had to suggest ONE of her songs to convert me over which one would it be?
@@ronrobbins2737 I don't know - her work spans a lot of different sounds and I don't know what would appeal to you. Regarding her voice - the control, inflection, pitch and tone are all remarkable, that's pretty much beyond debate. You may not like it, but her skill is evident if you assess it with an open mind and some musical knowledge.
@@mattkaz9604 thanks Matt, interesting answer. There are many kinds of uniquely talented singers and musicians out there, but how many have produced a real body of work with songs that are; world-famous, covered by other great talented singers, covered instrumentally by jazz-players, have lots of songs available in piano and other instrumental scores because they are GREAT SONGS? Stevie Wonder, Donald Fagen, Sting, for instance. It would be so easy making a top-20 list of their great original uniquely creative/catchy songs for you. Many times artists specialize in "quirky" because that's just their real specialty and maybe it's kind of a fluke they made it big?
@@ronrobbins2737 There are acts that get known due to novelty only, but virtually none of them are around for 30 years and have massive critical acclaim and enormous album sales.
She's just awesome, so into her technology and electricity. She's up there with Prince in my books.
Prince sucked so bad. He was so over rated.
@@newyardleysinclair9960 You have no idea how good this guy actually was.
Prince could play instruments. This hack cant even do that.
@@TOMVUTHEPIMP you don’t need to know how to play instruments to be talented. I know several people who could play instruments, doesn’t make them talented at making music.
@@mocapcow2933 They may suck, but they are still musicians.
When she's singing Joga it gives me chills. Such an incredible view of her raw talent.

whenever life is dull, watching bjork is a reminder of how rich and full life can be.
That hook 'I thought I could organize freedom, how Scandinavian of me' into the chorus where she sings those counter melodies is 15 seconds of sheer brilliance
I love her voice. Her speaking voice is so captivating. It’s rare for a singer to have a great speaking voice as well.
ffs. no it isnt.
@colinjames2469 yes it is. That's your opinion just like that's how we feel.
Her voice is very unique.
Homogenic is absolutely brilliant album. Hearing those strings now... wow! "I thought I could organize freedom / How Scandinavian of me" There's so much, heavy stuff too, the life in the lyrics. And at first you could be a bit scared of the rough electronics on some tracks, and then they grow into you anyway. Because, there is the voice with the soul.
Jóga and Bachelorette are two of my favorite songs. So good.
Also shows that despite being a Nordic, she admits to Scandinavian thinking has seeped in, in which conflicts with her natural intuitive thinking, but probably also helped her adding more levels to her persona, even if relenting on the Scandinavian influence.
I've always thought she was great, but after digging into her catalogue recently and giving it a deeper listen, I think she ranks among the all-time great vocalists. Just a million little great things going on there. And such control and range. Incredible!
Her live box set is my favorite.
I’ve always found the imperfections in her phrasing to be the best and most endearing part of the music. It’s very organic.
This is the smallest part of what's happening in the video, but I really enjoy how her accents swirled around back in the '90s; London, Iceland, basic American.... all over the map, in a very expressive way.
I agree. It shows the influence in how she learned English. She isn’t a native speaker and picks it up where she goes.
I can't believe those brilliant vocal takes were done on *that* microphone. Just goes to show how a great performance is way more important than great gear
I had the same thought.
Those may have been scratch takes so the other musicians have a vocal track to hear while recording their parts. Then she does a proper vocal recording later. However, her vocal recordings aren’t super clean so she could have recorded on that mic while holding it and flailing around as shown in the video.
@@ecco222 i saw interview with one of her engineers, and they said she really likes to use that sm58 for even studio recordings
The joga take at the end of the video is the one on the album
@@bobbykbobette7426 The audio at the end of the video is the album recording but I don't think the video is the same take.
bjork is my favorite artist ever, i always came back to her since i was a teenager

I FEEL YOU SIS
Every once in a while In stumble Back to Björk. Yoga, Hunter beams me Back to my youth. Feelings between sadness, anger, fear, Joy. Feels every time Like hugging a late relative, if this makes Sense to anyone.
I remember being in high school in the 90's total metalhead but i also adored bjork. I think her influence fed into many genre to come and she still is such a enigmatic amazing artist
15:45-16:56 was incredible and gave me chills. She has such an ethereal voice and magnetic personality. One of the most creative artists working in music.
Bjork is unique. Her musical style is her own and defines her. I like listening to her sometimes. Her style isn't a mainstay for my personal taste, but I appreciate her work.
What is your main stay? I’m always curious what people listen to and best way sometimes is through commenting on yt!
Ghumti Nira late bhayo Rajan dai lai batai ma bhet bhayo
@@ItUnidentified I’ll bite, I love Bjork, probably one of my favourite artists, but I listen to her only occasionally these days, theres so much good music to get lost in, different genres - I’ll usually come back to artists like David Bowie, Prince, Radiohead, Nina Simone, Jorge Ben, Gorguts, Iron Maiden, Slowdive, XTC, Cocteau Twins, Charles Mingus, Judas Priest, The Cure, The Smiths, Talking Heads, The Kinks, The Chameleons, Velvet Underground, Aphex Twin, Gas, Low, Jeff Buckley, Sigur Ros, Talk Talk, Brian Eno, etc
It's honestly freaky to watch this - I was absolutely obsessed with her in 1997, but I never had access to this kind of video with insight on her song-making process. It just makes me appreciate her even more.
It's also interesting to hear her thoughts on the first 2 albums, which are by far my favorite. She refers to them as the throwback songs before she moves onto her next phase, but to me I loved the more natural sounds with less electronic stuff that was so prevalent in the late 90s.
SAAAAAAME! I discovered Homogenic at a listening station in Virgin Megastore in Times Square New York, and by track 3 I was convinced this album is the meaning of life.
and then I later bought her earlier stuff. I’ve been in love ever since.
watching Joga was just truly incredible. I struggle to find a song that moves me like that.
Brought me to tears :’)
One of the only other songs that has resonated with me like that one is Let Go by Frou Frou (Imogen Heap)
"I haven't got a clue if it'll work or not, but you have to try" words to live by. The love and respect I have for this woman (and that magnificent brain of hers) knows no bounds. What I would do to have even an ounce of the creativity and drive that she has still to this day!
I love watching how she records her vocal like she sings it live. And she also sings in tune. Bjork is a true singer and composer thru and thru. I also agree when she mentions 'I make pop music not for educated or elite people'. Well...her music is a pop music for people who loves music.
She stays in tune? Ha ha ha. With what? Not the music.
@@wolveswithoutteeth OK KING
you're hearing the vocals after processing. There's already pitch correction and echo and all that added to what you hear in this video. Pitch correction has been on almost all music since the 80s even if you cant evidently hear it, nobody is perfectly on pitch
@@madiserket2 …it has nothing to do with autotune. She intentionally sings weird lyrics that don’t match the music. At all.
@@wolveswithoutteeth Imagine wasting time trying to shit on Bjork. Get a hobby, zilch.
I discovered her with this album in 1997 and I can honestly say she saved my life. I found in her music the energy and courage to live. Some sort of spiritual connexion as a teenager then. To me she was like indigenous people regarding instinct and wisdom.
I came for Bjork´s studio, and ended up with the making of Homogenic... !!!!!!
not a bad detour huh hehe
What you see is what you get with Bjork, which is why I love her. So intelligent and so talented and a real artist who isn't fake or manipulates the media or lies about her past. Sending Iceland lots of love from Scotland ❤️🏴🇮🇸
“Jóga” was not the first Björk song I ever heard, but it is the one that made me fall in love with her (25 years ago!)
I've been listening to Bjork for over 25 years now - first time I heard her I was 14, camping out with friends and listening to new music, I'm 41 now and still regard her as one of my favourite artists, if not my all time favourite - something connected that first time, and still resonates now - it goes beyond words....
I agree. It is almost 20 years for me and she is my all time favorite artist.
I love her, the music is just a bonus. It was love at first sight, back when I saw her on MV doing Hit with The Sugarcubes. Must be almost 40 years now.
She knows her way around all aspects of production and for that she deserves praise.
what a strange comment. not mad at it.
So obsessed with her hair here. It’s so beautiful
Love your pfp
When my niece was 10 or 11 she would always be singing some song or another from the latest kids movie, you know, like little mermaid etc.. I gave her this album for Christmas that year, she loved it, she started singing Bjorks songs, my brother and his wife were sooo thankful.
I had heard of Bjork a lot, but never heard her music until now. She's definitely special.
The "special" ? :)
12:13
seriously! So dynamic and moving. I get chills every time I hear that part, or that might just be because I have a fan blowing on me right now
when i used to drive lyft, i would play her music. nearly everyone would say, i love bjork. her music had a calming, uplifting effect on passengers.
So, they needed to be calmed down, then?
@@bobpike8050 lol dont act dumb now man
Lyft and Uber introduced the world to whole new levels of awkward.
@@bobpike8050 stop being cringe
@@Pat315 saying "cringe" is kinda cringe.
That's why it was a great album and decade for her. Cheers
the fact that this incredible album was recorded in such interesting circumstances makes it even better
13:20 I mean how can you not cry it’s so beautiful. she is a musician much older then me and I feel in this section there is something she understands about life that I have yet to even recognize. I have had chills this whole time but this pushes it to a new level truly one of the best musicians to ever live ❤️
4:03 - "It is almost as if you have to invent your own roots"
Precisely, that's the meaning of growing as artist: learn how to create different music each creative iteration.
I think she meant Icelandic having no ancient roots because living under danish oppression in the past...
@@eastwestblason7213 oh, I didn't know that.
I have to study more Iceland's history.
That alternative lyric of Joga 😮
I listened a LOT to Björk in the 90s and just recently got back to rediscovering her music. (What an amazing soul she is!) Back when I first listened to Homogenic, I thought to myself "Wow, that really has an Icelandic feel to it. - I wonder if she's trying to reclaim her roots?"
A couple of days ago, watching a couple of documentaries on her career, it turned out that was exactly what she was doing. Funny to have that question answered like 25 years later. :)
It’s interesting you picked up on it without influence as well. It shows that you picked up what she was putting down
Definitely want to go back and check out her entire music catalog. Such a beautiful voice and admire her artistry
each album is a work of art.
Joga is one of my favourite songs ever. Such a treat to see the moment of its birth. She's so captivating - a true one-of-a-kind.
Wow, she recorded her vocals on a handheld SM58 (budget live microphone). They sound incredible.
There is absolutely nothing budget about an SM58 its a great microphone, practically industry standard in certain uses. I love the sound of an SM58 it has this smoothness and veracity that even much more expensive condenser mics don't. Anyway with these things its >95% the performance anyway.
to be fair she could be singing into a telephone and still sound great
@@sacredgeometry Absolutely, some singers sound great on it, especially if they have a naturally powerful tone. It's just pretty rare, most go for SM7B. Also handheld without shockmount you can end up with all kinds of noises. It's just a surprise for such a great sounding record. I've also read she recorded some vocals while running around on the beach in the middle of the night with headphones on!
@@paulbrown7872 Good music isn't necessarily immaculately produced music through the most technically perfect gear. Often that is the complete opposite of what is needed.
I prefer the sound of an SM58 to an SM7B although that might just be the preamp I am using to drive my SM7B not being up to the task.
It's a beta 58 (Blue ring).. similar but Better in a few respects compared a regular 58. More like a condenser sound. Many records have used both as get good rejection of nearby instruments, can often have live monitoring too (no headphones) which can aid performance .
Homogenic was breathtaking. One of my all time favorite albums.
I cant count the times Bjork has saved my life and I think she just did again, for this I am eternally grateful for the beauty of life, no matter how hard at times x
why saved your life ?
@@ismiismael honestly the power I feel in bjorks music helps me transcend anything in this world and reminds me of my path in music and inspires me to focus on what is important. If I didn't have this gift in my life, life would be much darker indeed.
@@marcushunt1414 I totally get it xx I've had to lean on Björk's music a lot since I first heard her when I was 16.
I was dragged into going to a party with folk I thought were my friends at the time. I was always the quiet awkward one. I was just floating from room to room, through groups of faces and ciggy smoke, because the people I came with left me on my own.
Eventually, I came round to the living room, and there was a wee television on and it was Björk's video Hyperballed, which had the lyrics too. I was so captivated, I sat there on the floor, right in the middle of the room.
I wasn't prepared for the lyrics in that particular song, to hit and run through me like an 18 wheeler. I don't exactly know what she meant for the song to mean,but it hit me hard, because at the time, I was being physically and mentally abused at home by my mother, And being bullied but other folk. I was in a very dark place.
Then there came Björk and her music. Got me through so much shite, I still get choked up.
@@Depplova81 That's really so beautiful to hear! Your experience with Hyperballed really resonates, it was the first song I listened to intentionally by Bjork and I still remember every second of that experience 20 yrs later.
I owe so much happiness and inspiration to Bjork, her purity in her approach is so refreshing and she continues to amaze me by how much SOUL she can pump into electronic music and make it such an emotional experience.
Yeah, she gets me through every day in some way I think :)
Got chills so many times during this video. Unfinalized product, and still moves me in such an ethereal way. Been about 20 years since I discovered Bjork - hearing her music takes me right back to that musical flora that swept my brain away to a realm that I couldn't access in my little physical world. Amazing that those feelings feel fossilized in amber.
Same here!!!!
RIP Mark Ball, a true electronic music legend.
Very sad, man. I didn't know he has been gone for so long now. Time, truly is short for us.
Imo He was her best producer/collaborator. Arca doesn't hold a candle to him. R.I.P Mark Bell... =(
BELL not ball smh
Interesting. When that album came out, to me, it sounded like the absolute most avant garde, cutting edge of electronic music; that's was the overwhelming feeling about it I had at the time; like we had stepped into the next level. It has never really occurred to me that strings were such a huge element. Also, and I say this in the warmest sense it can be taken- Bjork is from another planet lol. I have been told I'm on the autism spectrum myself; but it's rare to see someone who is obviously so, so, so far out there, be able to connect all these outlier dot's the way she does. To be able to coalesce her feelings, which seem to range from, like she said, sound of music, through to like, a punk rock outpouring. Man, she is really out of the box lol. I can never get used to it. It must be fascinating to see what she's gonna be wearing each day, what mood she will be in etc... Every time I see her in something, this different alien appears.
so accurate, friend
Nanu, nanu.
I feel the same way about her. And her first 4 albums are perfection (Debut, Post, Homogenic, Vespertine) but after that she lost me. I don't think it's because the music isn't good. I think she's just so far out there that it's above what I can comprehend if that makes sense.
Imagine dating her lol what a roller coaster ride I’m sure that’d be. I’d be down affff
Wow, you described her perfectly.
This videos brings us so close to the raw sounds of her voice and intimacy when she is at a familiar place, a home, singing, gesturing , smiling, talking, feels like we are there, having the privilege to be close to an amazing talent
9:17 is the cutest little dance ive ever seen haha

If you've never heard of Bjork til now.... THIS is the vid you need to watch to get where she comes from...... Literally, regionally, spiritually, globally, musically.....
She's just.....
Bjork 🎶🥰🎶👍
God. Bjork is just such a treat. I feel like the world is a better place because she's in it. a beautiful little bird, singing sweet tunes for everyone to enjoy, and just being such a delight.
I don’t know why, but I just adore bjork in moomin t-shirt.
She is one of a Kind theirs nothing you can compare her too. A true artist with the most diverse fans from all walks and music genres.
Art gets created by artists .Seldom are artists born to create .Bjork is one.Her entire being is wonderfully different.It’s a joy.Unique.
This brought me to tears while watching. A true artist in every sense of the word.
I think what is remarkable for me is how rapidly electronic music has grown since this piece. It's amazing, really. I love Bjork's music - and I love her use of electronic music. It's just crazy how much more available it has all become. Available and powerful. But the core is what is done with it - musicality.
I've never seen the view of Morocco from España - it's enchanting! And how lucky we are to have Bjork showing this incredible scenery to us. She's such a force of nature and and incredibly original-sounding singer.
Love the way she carries a QY20 around.
Reminds me of my Yamaha SU-10 I carried that everywhere, recording old ladies on the bus and making a tune out of the samples etc.
I brought a QY70 3 years ago, after I eventually learnt to use it, very cool. I had no idea the QY20 was around so long ago. I come from the guitar way of doing things, so missed out on all this gear.
I never get tired of Homogenic or Bjork. Priceless.
Hunter is easily my fav song of hers. An absolutely gifted and creative woman. Wonderful record from start to finish.
I keep on coming back to 13:02 to watch her performance of Yoga. There’s a giving here, a giving of oneself to the process of creating art, that is full of control and abandon at the same time. Bjork always reconfigures my state of being. I listen to her and become hopeful. Love
"Hunter" one of my favorites..
I'm obsessed with Vespertine lately but now feel the need to revisit Homogenic
What an incredibly talented writer/singer and just all around musician. Her music moves me in ways very few artists do. Cant quite describe it.
I've been in that area, the area near Málaga, down from the Ronda hills in Southern Spain. It is arid, hot but as you into those hills, things cool down a bit, then you see it, The Rock of Gibraltar and a bit further, Africa.
It is a magnificent sight.
you can see the album "I Care Because you do" by Aphex Twin in the reflection/ Background at 10:38 .
i was just wondering why 5 years was so focused on digital format-glitch-beats i knew she liked rdj but its still enlightening
I wish everybody to be as happy as she can...
That In-studio rehearsal of Jóga is just stunning to watch. And it seems she cut out a lot of the lyrics she had here in the final album version. Shame. They would’ve given more variation to what is already an absolutely divine song. So happy to have found the documentary from which this was taken. She is a true musician. She cannot help herself but to express it outwardly.
Wow! Thank you so so much for uploading this. This is the time machine I needed this morning. Beautiful and ethereal Bjork and Spain and the 90’s. Ah yes. I was in my 20’s. A much more joyous time in life.
This is a real artist of our time. Enjoy her while we have her!
Homogenic is the most fantastic emotive album I ever heard. For so many years your album, was my mother.
25 years later i find for the 1st time this making of her masterpiece
6:10 shows just how talented she is
What did she say
Thank you Soooooo much for uploading !!!

I remember this ...Homogenic was such a solid album of pure sonic exploration...and the cd artwork was incredible also
She is wonderful. Music that paints a landscape of Art that reflects life.
That Jogapart is incredible. Touched me deep
Hearing early versions of the tracks on Homogenic is sooooo cool
She and her voice and the way she execute her songs.. Its just so interesting and full of surprises.
Wow, I'm speechless, what an artist. Love Bjork
Hola.
Minuto 4:57 : Ese sonido , se parece mucho al primer álbum de E.L.O.
Les recomiendo : Álbum " No answer " - Electric Light Orchestra ( E.L.O. ) - 1972 :

Es excelente . Tiene grandes canciones.
Ahí hay una canción , muy en el estilo de lo que se oye en el minuto 4:57 : " The Battle of Marston Moor ( July 2nd 1644 ) ".
Gracias por subir el video.
Saludos desde Chile , Sud América.
Her voice is powerful, yet fragile. What an angel she is.
Only once in a while you get a very special artist. She is one of them.
thank you so much for posting this!
You're Most Welcome!

Why this popped on my feed only God knows...but I have had a crush on Björk for decades now.
This is my favorite album of hers. It's so captivating
The creative process and what goes behind the creation of a song is so fascinating!!❤️
She so connected to life her own passion and it’s so amazing to see real raw original music but when she sings you can feel it in your Soul 😳😊
Respect to the recording and mixing engineer. Rip to the de esser
She is an Omega Level Genius. Way beyond her time!
