He wasn't lying, but it's a farcry from an absolute truth. In this context scientific understanding vs poetic abstraction are an opposing dichotomy, a paradox. The T.V. wasn't something to be afraid of as the idea of a T.V. existed in Bjork's mind as put there by the poet. The reality of a TV isn't scary - just the implications of a TV as the poet described. in this sense, "don't let poets lie" means to let truth take away fear.
I like how she said her Danish book helped her to not be fearful of the tv, but she also said she read the Danish book this morning, so it’s entirely possible that she’s been afraid of her tv up until a few days ago 😂

I didn’t think I’d watch all 3 and a half minutes of this but I just couldn’t stop watching. She has a genuine excitement that is really engaging to watch and a very soothing voice
I think one of the reasons people liked her so much is because she comes off so pure and uncorrupted. Full of wonder. It’s great when we can take a step aside from our ego and just enjoy reality as it is.
No idea how I got here, but as an ex-electronics engineer, I am not ashamed to admit it has taken me 10 minutes to stop laughing in order to be able to type this! Yes kids, always ask your parents to discharge electrolytic capacitors before you go playing inside the TV! (and watch out for that L.O.P.T too, as they can bite). Love Bjork. Play Dead is still the best ever Bond theme that never was.
the "this looks like a little city" part always hits me with a ton of nostalgia bricks, since I used to think the exact same thing about computer parts as a kid. Love coming back to this video!

Came here after listening to "It's about time" (Demo) of my fav. band The 1975 from Tape Notes Podcast and sure her speaking fits so well as a sample in that song. ♥
I saw her once in a music store in Manhattan, asking an employee questions about different cds, this was in the mid 1990's and I was totally crazy about her, I didn't want to bother her or anything because she was just out shopping for music, so I ran out of the store, but let me just say, she has got to be the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. The day I saw her, she had some glittery stuff on her cheeks, and her eyes were incredible. But I remember standing just 3 or 4 feet away just browsing music, and then I heard her voice and I looked to my right and she was standing right there. I'll never forget it.
Taking apart old TVs is very dangerous, even if they’re unplugged. The capacitors in the unit still store a lot of energy that can be released very quickly!!
I was looking for this comment. I watched the video and was looking for a warning about the fly back capacitors. If you accidentally discharge those you can be killed or at least badly injured.
I could watch Bjork talk nonsense about anything and still be fascinated by her innocent wonder about the world around her for hours on end. She's so intriguing and her view on things is refreshingly cute. It's nice to see the world through Bjorks eyes every now and then.
I know exactly what you mean. I keep coming back to this video. It's not about asmr. There's something else that gives me this fluffy feeling, like butterflies in my chest...
@@gurintto That's because an Icelandic poet lied to her plus she's not really being judgmental at all but rather she's just warning people to never let any poets lie to you. 😊

She sings in a strange staccato with confidence and bravado. I like to listen to her debut album, but will invest no more. The music seems rough, and unrehearsed. Amateurish, yet undeniably aesthetic. - She's a trip. - !

I love how she says "it's about time" as she's opening her TV. She's waited all her life for that very moment.
Best comment. I will sample that.
Her music career was just a by-product of the process to get to this.
the way she says city is very nice too, like cit.ty with a stop it's cute lol

The time björk almost died from discharging capacitors
It was probably discharged prior to opening it
