I remember growing up in the 90s, she was brave enough to be herself, be creative and evolve her music. Because she was being different the media/chart/music shows would completely ridicule her a LOT. When you listen to a bjork song, you honestly couldn’t tell if it was released in the 90s or right now….that’s how far ahead she was with her music. She put her critics to shame.
I had a friend show me her videos about 6 months ago and I keep coming back to listen to her. He had thought and told me this music came out within the last few years and I believed him too. We literally thought this was new stuff. Both of us are very avid music enthusiasts too, I listen to all kinds of music.
Really? I grew in the same era and although I seem to remember people thought she was brilliant even back then. The gossip media certainly had a field day with her, but when it comes to music I feel like Bjork has always been thought of as incredibly influential and ahead of her time. Madonna wanted to work with her. Peter Jackson wanted her to sing the end theme to the second Lord of the Rings movie. She wasn't languishing in obscurity waiting to be appreciated 30 years later, that's for sure.
I grew up in the 90's an everydbody was absolutely IN LOVE with Bjork, she was litteraly one of the most admired artist at the time, this song in particular was everywhere. So we propbably lived in different countries :)
I was 17 in 1997, and just got a scholarship from my country Kuwait to study in Japan, left to Japan and there I entered tower records in Shibuya and listened to this song and bought the CD immediately, till this day I listen to it like its 1997.
Omfg!! I was in love with Japan since childhood, from my best friend who grew up there, every other year. Finally got to go in 2010, when I was studying landscape architecture in university. ... One of the best places on earth, can't wait to go back!
The ever amazing Michel Gondry!! He did a few other Björk music videos & great films like Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind & the Science I’d Sleep! ✨
This music video should've won an Oscar for best director, best original screenplay, best actress, best original soundtrack, best cinematography, literally EVERY category even though it's a mv bc it's a goddamn MASTERPIECE. 🙌🙌
Compared to the modern mvs 100x YES! Stories in music video supposed to evolve, but right now we have some dancing and dancing and dirty, half naked dance, yaay, wow, so ambitious.
don't think this line has anything to do with the age we live in specifically. being a fountain of blood is simply a sensation, when you become aware of the sheer volumes of blood coursing through you.
I ve seen her a few times live. But the show at pukkelpop was so good i will never forget it. My brother was standing next to me and he said :’how lucky are we to be here’ - he was right. And indeed, some crowd walked out while the show was on. But it s just people that don t understand it. It was one of the best things i ever saw, next to Prince.
Recently discovered her. I can’t say I’m accustomed to her style or completely understand it, but there’s something about her music that sparks curiosity and raw beauty. I love this video.
Omg same! I gave Bjork's discography a chance this year because her albums' covers are so interesting. I used to listened only to "Army of Me", "I Miss You" and "Venus as a Boy" but after listening her albums entirely one by one I just got obsessed
one day , i found a big book buried deep in the ground , i opened it , but all the pages were blank and to my surprise , it started writing itself one day , i found a big book buried deep in the ground .
I literally cried for hours after listening this beautiful masterpiece...I'm fighting with mental illness and this song speaks to my soul. It breaks my heart but I need it because it makes me feel alive. Thank you Bjork for being so unique and gifted. Your art is a dark and enlightening wander for lonely souls like me. You are truly loved ❤️
The video is actually extremely dark on an apocalyptic level. When the publisher falls out of love, all books are unwritten and all people and buildings get devoured by the bushes and the trees. The city turns into a forest with the empty book buried deep inside the ground, until she finds it again while digging and everything repeats itself in an infinite loop.
I'm a fountain of blood In the shape of a girl You're the bird on the brim Hypnotised by the whirl Drink me, make me feel real Wet your beak in the stream Game we're playing is life Love's a two way dream Leave me now, return tonight Tide will show you the way If you forget my name You will go astray Like a killer whale Trapped in a bay I'm a path of cinders Burning under your feet You're the one who walks me I'm your one way street I'm a whisper in the water Secret for you to hear You're the one who grows distant When I beckon you near Leave me now, return tonight Tide will show you the way If you forget my name You will go astray Like a killer whale Trapped in a bay I'm a tree that grows hearts One for each that you take You're the intruder's hand I'm the branch that you break
The funny thing about this song is it's arguably her song with the greatest lyrics, and it's also the song that she had someone else write the lyrics for haha.
Nathan Aaron I'd have a hard time arguing it to be her best written piece. Hyperballad being much better written and pagan poetry being a far more beautiful atmosphere. Great song but I wouldn't go as far as to say best.
frankie d it’s still mind-blowing to me how someone who was so young at the time could write such evocative, mature lyrics, while also spearheading the popularization of a genre, while still subverting said genre. I saw her @ Pitchfork the last year before I moved from Chicago, & I’ll never forget it. I was like 15 feet away from her. Amazing show.
Bjork= best vocalist of last 25 years hands down. Ever notice no one can sing bjork song without it sounding like a cover song whereas bjork can sing anything and make it her own. Facts
this is easily one of the best songs of all time!!! the way she is able to combine classic orchestra with electronic music is just amazing 😭 the lyrics are complex without being forced, her voice is just IMPECCABLE, it tells a story even without the music video!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
I remember the strangeness of watching this video after midnight or maybe 2 o'clock in the morning in MTV Brazil around 1998. It was so different from everything that I have seen. For me Bachelorette video illustrates very well Walter Benjamins's concept of the narrator and experience in crisis.
I had the same experience around 1993. I had just bough a 20" tv set and subscribed to the now extinct TVA. The very first night I turned on the tv I saw the clip to 'Human Behavior' on MTV Brasil.
@@thalesm4056 Verdade. E ela é pioneira, sempre buscando novas maneiras, tecnologias para expandir o seu trabalho. Em 2011 ela lançou um álbum chamado 'Biophilia' e um aplicativo que permite que a gente altere as composições. Saiu primeiro em IOS e depois em Android. Na época, eu estava descobrindo o mundo dos podcasts e aplicativos com um iPod Touch 4 e tenho este aparelho com o aplicativo até hoje.
This is, by a country mile, the best song on the album. The fact that it's also one of the best music videos *ever*, directed by a certified genius, is just gravy.
yea, it could be interpreted so many different ways. Like how fame and the greed of the industry takes a toll on her, you get chewed and spit out, it all repeats itself, she's trapped, and in the end shes back in nature, where she belongs. Just beautiful. (Thats why I loved the 90's, there used to be so many creative music videos that tell a proper story, which today I miss alot.)
I think the comments don't praise enough the song itself. This is a real epic timeless masterpiece here, and one of my favourite songs ever. This is so theatrical, and the composition is really unique and ahead of its time. Björk's vocals are ridiculously awesome and very emotional, she's really an amazing artist.
Hi, I really love this song. Even when I didn't know lyrics (English isn't my first language). And now that I've read the lyrics, I still don't fully understand its meaning Could you tell me your interpretation of the lyrics of this song? I would appreciate it very much
@@elizabethstre1686 Hi, I must admit I'm not really sure of its meaning as the lyrics are quite mysterious and English is also not my first language, but here is my interpretation : First, this song is the sequel to the song Isobel, which is on the album Post ( which is itself the sequel to Human Behaviour I think ), and who narrates the adventures of a girl named Isobel, born in an isolated forest. She lives alone until a big city emerges and she discovers a New life. I think then that the title " Bachelorette " refers to the loneliness of Isobel before going to the city. So, in " Bachelorette ", Isobel arrives to the city ( that's why the instrumentation sounds like a train ) and discovers a whole new world. She's really excited ( that's why she says " I'm a fountain of blood in the shape of a girl " ) because she discovers new sides of herself, like her sexuality. I think this song is an expression of everything Isobel feels in the city, she's " hypnotized by the whirl ", as she said in the song. At the end of the song, I think she probably returns to the forest, that's why we hear an accordion, and the sequel to this song is " Alarm Call ", where we can see in the video Isobel back in the forest, testing her boundaries and limits after her experience in the city. I think the story of Isobel is related to Björk, who was born in Iceland but then moved to London and discovered a new world. That remains my own intepretation, as I think many interpretations are possible, I hope it will be useful to you :)
@@poesie_paienne Thank you so much for taking time to answer. That was very useful and informative. Now I know what songs I'll listen un order to make my own interpretation . Thanks and have a good day 😁
A work of art. 👍 Tells the story in just a few minutes as if it were an entire film. There is a metaphysical intelligence spread in every minimal detail of the image. A beauty of rare charm! /... The music sounds, curiously, a bit like certain theme songs from 1970s crime dramas... 💙
Tengo el concierto de Cornucopia MEX 2019 .. es con cámara de video pero se escucha muy bien.. lo puedo compartir por google drive ! I have the Cornucopia Mexico concert, if you want I can share to you by google Drive
I love this song so much. She has so many outstanding songs, but this one is just beyond anything she has ever written. I will see her in November '23 for the first time live. If I'm lucky, this will be in her set. Thank you Björk, for letting me feel all these emotions your music is ginving me. 🖤
This album changed my life. This album changed me ... molded a part of me as an artist lyrically and sonically. I was 17 when it came out and it blew my mind.
This is the first time ive heard this song (i dont get out much) and its f-g brilliant. God i love Bjork. I bought her records in the 90's but she scares me a bit. Every time i see her and listen to her voice at the same time i get this weird feeling in my heart like a jump or a squeeze. Its weird. She is fascinating to me but i dont know why. i totally understand how crazy people can obsess about her. Anyway i dont like feeling crazy/weird so i dont watch alot of her videos but im glad youtube sent me here to watch this. Great song. Thankyou Bjork you living legend and slightly supernatural deity.
It's funny i can see how she would intimidate guys. As a girl she spoke to my inner self. I could always find lyrics that i could relate to. I can see though as a man, looking from the outside at this beautiful fiery creature how they could be intimidated. To me it was empowering.
@@abandonedmuse Yes i see that, i dont feel intimidated as such (intimidate seems like a favourite word from the tv nowadays though) but she scares me because she makes me feel a bit crazy. i like her too much and in a way that i dont like any other celeb. i could easily obsess over her. I think she is the most powerful woman in entertainment in some ways and i can only describe her as slightly supernatural. A beautiful fiery creature is a good description, I sometimes like playing with fire but its always a mistake.
@@abandonedmuse yes but i dont know the details, and dont want to know, but i think thats the thing about her, she is so incredible its easy to go crazy over her. My original comment was meant to marvel at her and at her slightly super human qualities but i dont want to start a conversation about mental people and weirdness. I just wonder what is it that makes her so special. Its not really her looks or just her voice, it must be something else.
@@alexc6324 yeah her creativity. And I mentioned it because guys get creepy like that and it freaks me out. Good to know you aren’t that wild. Yeah she is definitely a beautiful spark in this otherwise extremely insane and dark world.
Ja się pytam dlaczego ta piosenka nie ma co najmniej 100 milionów wyświetleń, przecież w niej jest tyle emocji które powodują oraz przypominają że osoby i samo życie trzeba Kochać tu i teraz
Was amazed the first time I saw Björk and it still brings amazement today. She is an amazing artist that will always be beautiful with words and visualizations.
This is still, and forever will be, a masterpiece song out of a masterpiece album. So many years have gone by so far, but the beauty didn't gather any dust, it still shines.
This is such a powerful song. It really makes so feel like the fate of the fucking earth depend on this relationship. Few artists are good enough the provoke emotions like this❤️
I've seen Massive Attack followed by Radiohead and followed by Bjork on the same night in 1996. :p And Bowie on the same stage the night before...with Mazzy Star. No Portishead but i've seen them quite a few times too.
Remember this from my childhood. We watched it on MTV Russia. Such a nostalgia. Didn’t understand her music until growing old. Now finally I get this vibe!
I once wrote an email to Douglas Hofstadter, in reply to his book "I am a strange loop" - which makes the point, that what we perceive as ourself, is a result of many strange feedback loops in reality. He elaborates on many different thought experiments. In my email I inspired him to go and watch this clip of Bjork, because of it's meaningful imagery and concept. He eventually replied! His daughter was in her teens and she was a big fan of Bjork, so he loved the connection and enjoyed the videoclip :) Cool guy
What wonderful visual storytelling, about visual storytelling! Russian dolls & storytelling genius. Absolutely love this. I've adored the song for a long time, now I adore the video too. Awesome.
Je suis une fontaine de sang Sous la forme d'une fille Tu es l'oiseau sur le bord Hypnotisé par le tourbillon Bois-moi - rends-moi réelle Plonge ton bec dans le courant Le jeu auquel nous jouons est la vie L'amour est un rêve pour deux Laisse-moi maintenant - reviens ce soir La marée te montrera le chemin Si tu oublies mon nom Tu t'égareras Telle une baleine tueuse attrapée dans une baie Je suis un chemin de cendres Brûlant sous tes pieds Tu es celui qui me guide Je suis ta rue à sens unique Je suis un arbre sur lequel poussent des coeurs Un pour chacun que tu prends Tu es le sol d'où je puise ma nourriture Nous sommes un cercle que personne ne peut briser Laisse-moi maintenant - reviens ce soir La marée te montrera le chemin Si tu oublies mon nom Tu t'égareras Telle une baleine tueuse attrapée dans une baie Je suis un murmure dans l'eau Un secret que tu peux entendre Tu es celui qui s'éloigne Quand je te fais signe de venir La vie est un collier de peurs Tes larmes retenues sur une corde Notre amour les détachera - viens ici M'aimer est la chose la plus facile I'm a fountain of blood In the shape of a girl You're the bird on the brim Hypnotised by the whirl Drink me, make me feel real Wet your beak in the stream Game we're playing is life Love's a two way Leave me now, return tonight Tide will show you the way If you forget my name You will go astray Like a killer whale Trapped in a bay I'm a path of cinders Burning under your feet You're the one who walks me I'm your one-way street I'm a whisper in the water Secret for you to hear You're the one who grows distant When I beckon you near You might also like Leave me now, return tonight Tide will show you the way If you forget my name You will go astray Like a killer whale Trapped in a bay I'm a tree that grows hearts One for each that you take You're the intruder's hand I'm the branch that you break
I’m mesmerized how her music so closely resembles my life and my feelings. My capacity to feel pain is equal to my capacity to feel this deeply and resonate with a song of this nature. I don’t fight the pain anymore
Such powerful lyrics. Sjón is a true poet. Delivered so emotionally by Björk and accompanied by her most brilliant music video. What a time to be alive.
this must be one of the highest pieces of art in human history - no other movie, painting, photograph, book takes you where this takes you - or none I'm aware of, is there any? The fact that it all happens in 5 minutes... so many questions, what did just happen? the song in itself is so powerful - but the images consume you very often and when you eventually snap out of it and find yourself hearing that beautiful song - I thought I was going to melt or something.
Fuck man! Just STOP!!! You have no idea what you're talking about. This is PLAGIARIZED from a FRENCH TELEFILM, which I have been HUNTING DOWN for almost 50 years! Still I can't find it. The director was French so he was well aware of what it was copying. It was never rebroadcast in France when he made this, so he thought no one would know or remember it. He thought wrong! I DO.
I remember growing up in the 90s, she was brave enough to be herself, be creative and evolve her music. Because she was being different the media/chart/music shows would completely ridicule her a LOT. When you listen to a bjork song, you honestly couldn’t tell if it was released in the 90s or right now….that’s how far ahead she was with her music. She put her critics to shame.
Yes people usually throw ‘ahead’ of her time very loosely but in this instance it’s very true
💯

She wasn't languishing in obscurity waiting to be appreciated 30 years later, that's for sure.
I grew up in the 90's an everydbody was absolutely IN LOVE with Bjork, she was litteraly one of the most admired artist at the time, this song in particular was everywhere. So we propbably lived in different countries :)
I was 17 in 1997, and just got a scholarship from my country Kuwait to study in Japan, left to Japan and there I entered tower records in Shibuya and listened to this song and bought the CD immediately, till this day I listen to it like its 1997.

I love this CD❤
Can you believe it? After 22 years we can watch Bachelorette at 1080p resolution.
The video won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Art Direction 😍👍
I've been surprised with "Dead Or Alive - You Spin Me Round" and "Eurythmics - Don't Ask Me Why" both recently released in 1080p.
I was in love at the time. But I didn't know it.
And it has so little views :(
I wish videos were important like back in the day. Wake up to them talk about them and rush home to watch them.lol

"I'm a fountain of blood in the shape of a girl". This song is to real. She really is a genius of the disenchantment of the modern age.
goes to notice that some "Sjòn" wrote the lyrics to this song
First time i've heard it as "i'm a fountain of love in the shape of a gun". I was thirteen years old and it was really cool for me))
don't think this line has anything to do with the age we live in specifically. being a fountain of blood is simply a sensation, when you become aware of the sheer volumes of blood coursing through you.
Too. Please learn how to spell correctly.
@gosugosu1280 no
one of the best pieces of music ever. the whole homogenic album still sounds futuristic and cutting-edge today
My fave of hers by FAR
LOL
Same here. I used to play it nonstop when I was a young college student.
Agreed
Yep. Still sounds fresh 24 years later. Influenced so many albums since then such as 808s and Heartbreak, MBDTF, James Blake, Endless by Frank Ocean

I'm a fountain of blood
In the shape of a girl
You're the bird on the brim
Hypnotised by the whirl
Drink me, make me feel real
Wet your beak in the stream
Game we're playing is life
Love's a two way dream
Leave me now, return tonight
Tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay
I'm a path of cinders
Burning under your feet
You're the one who walks me
I'm your one way street
I'm a whisper in the water
Secret for you to hear
You're the one who grows distant
When I beckon you near
Leave me now, return tonight
Tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay
I'm a tree that grows hearts
One for each that you take
You're the intruder's hand
I'm the branch that you break

I think the story of Isobel is related to Björk, who was born in Iceland but then moved to London and discovered a new world.
That remains my own intepretation, as I think many interpretations are possible, I hope it will be useful to you :)
@@poesie_paienne Thank you so much for taking time to answer.
That was very useful and informative.
Now I know what songs I'll listen un order to make my own interpretation .
Thanks and have a good day 😁
@@elizabethstre1686 You're welcome, it was with pleasure ! :) Thanks and have a good day too !
@@poesie_paienne this is very interesting, thank you for taking the time to write this reply!!! it has been very useful for me!
I always thought that this was one of the most powerful songs of the 90s, it’s dramatic, dark, sad, a bit sexy, a true work of art 🙂
Michel Gondry's work is flawless, perfect music video
A work of art. 👍
Tells the story in just a few minutes as if it were an entire film. There is a metaphysical intelligence spread in every minimal detail of the image.
A beauty of rare charm!
/... The music sounds, curiously, a bit like certain theme songs from 1970s crime dramas... 💙
高中第一次听到就喜欢这首歌，二十多年来，这节奏，这曲调，这演唱，是他人无法超越的经典。❤❤❤
Bjork, you're so brilliant. Thank you for being you.
if sometime i see Björk on concert i could die in peace
Cornucopia, sis, Cornucopia!!
i live in ecuador she doesn't even know we exist
Yo la vi en Cornucopia en vivo. Sus conciertos son otra cosa, es algo de no creerse.
@@NathaelSantaCruz uno de mis objetivos principales en la vida es verla en concierto, espero que algun día se me haga posible ese sueño
Tengo el concierto de Cornucopia MEX 2019 .. es con cámara de video pero se escucha muy bien.. lo puedo compartir por google drive !
I have the Cornucopia Mexico concert, if you want I can share to you by google Drive
Je me lasserai jamais de cette chanson et de ce clip
One of the best music videos ever
This is the first time I've ever seen it...wow. Talk about "meta". Reminded me of Charlie Kaufman's film "Synecdoche, New York"
Holy shit, mom what are yoy doing here?!#?$?_?&
well hi marina and the devil, again
omg hiii 💖
OMG I DIDN’T KNOW YOU WERE INTO BJORK
Solo ora mi rendo conto di quale ottima musica si ascoltava negli anni 90 e primi anni 2000 .Ora solo spazzatura.
Thanks for giving us opportunity to review thisMasterpiece !!!😢😢Bjork is pure genius.....
Essa música é uma obra de arte! Ela toca a gente de uma forma tão profunda que é impossível ouvir sem sentir nada. ❤❤❤
I always love it when björk reads bööks
I love this song so much. She has so many outstanding songs, but this one is just beyond anything she has ever written. I will see her in November '23 for the first time live. If I'm lucky, this will be in her set. Thank you Björk, for letting me feel all these emotions your music is ginving me. 🖤
Great Artis and terrific woman 💓
This is fantastic! Thank you Bjork! How many years we had to squint our eye trying to decipher the videos in 144p quality, and now this beauty!
i feel like björk is the pippi longstocking of music. she's a free spirit, rebellious, spunky and smiley!
Her best song and best MV for me!
That train carriage flip is so amazing yet so simple
This album changed my life. This album changed me ... molded a part of me as an artist lyrically and sonically. I was 17 when it came out and it blew my mind.
amazing comment thank you
One of the best music videos of all time.
The accordion playing those last seconds, goose bumps.
and then my day couldnt go wrong anymore, still one of my fav videos of all time
And Björk said, “Let there be art,” and there was art!
This is the first time ive heard this song (i dont get out much) and its f-g brilliant. God i love Bjork. I bought her records in the 90's but she scares me a bit. Every time i see her and listen to her voice at the same time i get this weird feeling in my heart like a jump or a squeeze. Its weird. She is fascinating to me but i dont know why. i totally understand how crazy people can obsess about her.
Anyway i dont like feeling crazy/weird so i dont watch alot of her videos but im glad youtube sent me here to watch this. Great song.
Thankyou Bjork you living legend and slightly supernatural deity.
It's funny i can see how she would intimidate guys. As a girl she spoke to my inner self. I could always find lyrics that i could relate to. I can see though as a man, looking from the outside at this beautiful fiery creature how they could be intimidated. To me it was empowering.
@@abandonedmuse Yes i see that, i dont feel intimidated as such (intimidate seems like a favourite word from the tv nowadays though) but she scares me because she makes me feel a bit crazy. i like her too much and in a way that i dont like any other celeb. i could easily obsess over her.
I think she is the most powerful woman in entertainment in some ways and i can only describe her as slightly supernatural.
A beautiful fiery creature is a good description, I sometimes like playing with fire but its always a mistake.
@@alexc6324 I am sure you know this, but she had a man obsessed over her send her a bomb through the mail. It was pretty scary for her.
@@abandonedmuse yes but i dont know the details, and dont want to know, but i think thats the thing about her, she is so incredible its easy to go crazy over her. My original comment was meant to marvel at her and at her slightly super human qualities but i dont want to start a conversation about mental people and weirdness. I just wonder what is it that makes her so special. Its not really her looks or just her voice, it must be something else.
@@alexc6324 yeah her creativity. And I mentioned it because guys get creepy like that and it freaks me out. Good to know you aren’t that wild. Yeah she is definitely a beautiful spark in this otherwise extremely insane and dark world.
Que época...cuando descubrí tu música....amor a primera vista..!!
One of my top 5 favorite songs of all time.
I can say this with absolutely no apprehension.
Me too. It's my #3
my personal nr 1
If I was a computer science teacher, I would play this video every year when it's time for the recursion lesson.
as a developer, good call. the video also illustrates the self-similarity property of fractals
@@citizen_data bachelorette(björk){ ... } is a tail-recursive function with björk.isSingle as the base case.
Welcome back, the most talented and mysterious elf of our times
One of the best music videos & song ever.
Part of the '90s soundtrack. The last decade of great music. Brava, Bjork!
you should listen Whats Your Pleasure by Jessie Ware and consider that actual music can be great too
bjork is one of the best female artist of our era. so underrated...
One of the most lyrically beautiful Björk songs!
Kudos to sjón
Ja się pytam dlaczego ta piosenka nie ma co najmniej 100 milionów wyświetleń, przecież w niej jest tyle emocji które powodują oraz przypominają że osoby i samo życie trzeba Kochać tu i teraz
This is literally my favourite video of all time. Thank you
Was amazed the first time I saw Björk and it still brings amazement today. She is an amazing artist that will always be beautiful with words and visualizations.
never stopped being a genius, her label must support her perfectly!
It took me back to the 90s. A piece of art. You dont see artists so creative anymore.
This is still, and forever will be, a masterpiece song out of a masterpiece album.
So many years have gone by so far, but the beauty didn't gather any dust, it still shines.
This is what I think many fans have been waiting for, for a very long time. Thank you!!!
this is probably the best music video I've ever seen
To me,when people mentione 90s+ creativity Björk is the first name that comes to my mind. She just transpires creativity. A true visionary ❤
Beautiful Bjork. This is your finest moment. The song and video are perfect.
this song is something else
i m 58 old after bowie and prince you are the best
This is such a powerful song. It really makes so feel like the fate of the fucking earth depend on this relationship. Few artists are good enough the provoke emotions like this❤️
Bjork, Portishead & Radiohead. Their music speaks to my soul.
I've seen Massive Attack followed by Radiohead and followed by Bjork on the same night in 1996. :p
And Bowie on the same stage the night before...with Mazzy Star.
No Portishead but i've seen them quite a few times too.
Pfft
deadass thoooo
@@Timothy2706 Wow, you're so lucky! I'm jealous, lol.
@@Timothy2706 wooooow
One of the best short stories filmed in the ART cinema history...
Remember this from my childhood. We watched it on MTV Russia. Such a nostalgia. Didn’t understand her music until growing old. Now finally I get this vibe!
björk has always had great videos. A true genius and great artist.
This song change my life, the image of a tree of hearts defined a state in me, gracias Björk
I've been looking for an HD version of this for years!! You are a legend!
I love her so much. I always cry like a baby every time i play Bachelorette or Unravel.
This is Bjork’s best video. She has an amazing videography. This is Gondry’s best video.
That shot of the first publisher at 3:42 getting sad hits me like a powerhouse every time.
I once wrote an email to Douglas Hofstadter, in reply to his book "I am a strange loop" - which makes the point, that what we perceive as ourself, is a result of many strange feedback loops in reality. He elaborates on many different thought experiments. In my email I inspired him to go and watch this clip of Bjork, because of it's meaningful imagery and concept.
He eventually replied! His daughter was in her teens and she was a big fan of Bjork, so he loved the connection and enjoyed the videoclip :) Cool guy
This is one of the best music videos I've ever seen.
Björk's music opened my interest for soul electronica. So I started to explore it and thought I liked it. But now I realize it is Björk I love.
What wonderful visual storytelling, about visual storytelling! Russian dolls & storytelling genius. Absolutely love this. I've adored the song for a long time, now I adore the video too. Awesome.
One of the very best music videos ever made
this video is awesome! it is very good to teach students about narratives, metalanguage, mise en abyme, and a lot more... incrível!!!
All of these older songs of hers give me goosebumps. I grew up on this.
Je suis une fontaine de sang
Sous la forme d'une fille
Tu es l'oiseau sur le bord
Hypnotisé par le tourbillon
Bois-moi - rends-moi réelle
Plonge ton bec dans le courant
Le jeu auquel nous jouons est la vie
L'amour est un rêve pour deux
Laisse-moi maintenant - reviens ce soir
La marée te montrera le chemin
Si tu oublies mon nom
Tu t'égareras
Telle une baleine tueuse attrapée dans une baie
Je suis un chemin de cendres
Brûlant sous tes pieds
Tu es celui qui me guide
Je suis ta rue à sens unique
Je suis un arbre sur lequel poussent des coeurs
Un pour chacun que tu prends
Tu es le sol d'où je puise ma nourriture
Nous sommes un cercle que personne ne peut briser
Laisse-moi maintenant - reviens ce soir
La marée te montrera le chemin
Si tu oublies mon nom
Tu t'égareras
Telle une baleine tueuse attrapée dans une baie
Je suis un murmure dans l'eau
Un secret que tu peux entendre
Tu es celui qui s'éloigne
Quand je te fais signe de venir
La vie est un collier de peurs
Tes larmes retenues sur une corde
Notre amour les détachera - viens ici
M'aimer est la chose la plus facile
I'm a fountain of blood
In the shape of a girl
You're the bird on the brim
Hypnotised by the whirl
Drink me, make me feel real
Wet your beak in the stream
Game we're playing is life
Love's a two way
Leave me now, return tonight
Tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay
I'm a path of cinders
Burning under your feet
You're the one who walks me
I'm your one-way street
I'm a whisper in the water
Secret for you to hear
You're the one who grows distant
When I beckon you near
You might also like
Leave me now, return tonight
Tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay
I'm a tree that grows hearts
One for each that you take
You're the intruder's hand
I'm the branch that you break
Merci pour cette traduction ~
Merci
ça sonne encore mieux en français
Tellement poétique et mélancolique....merci pour cette traduction
Was watching this and thought this was a recent upload. Had no idea this was from 1997 until I saw comments. Wow, what an amazing video and song.
Imagine feeling this way about someone! Her voice hits all the right emotional notes.
I don’t see how anybody could listen to this song, or her voice, and not recognize its beauty.
I’m mesmerized how her music so closely resembles my life and my feelings. My capacity to feel pain is equal to my capacity to feel this deeply and resonate with a song of this nature. I don’t fight the pain anymore
Beautiful.
Amo que esté subiendo sus videos viejos ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh wow! One of the best music videos ever, now in HD! How satisfying!
Such powerful lyrics. Sjón is a true poet. Delivered so emotionally by Björk and accompanied by her most brilliant music video. What a time to be alive.
this must be one of the highest pieces of art in human history - no other movie, painting, photograph, book takes you where this takes you - or none I'm aware of, is there any? The fact that it all happens in 5 minutes... so many questions, what did just happen? the song in itself is so powerful - but the images consume you very often and when you eventually snap out of it and find yourself hearing that beautiful song - I thought I was going to melt or something.
Fuck man! Just STOP!!! You have no idea what you're talking about. This is PLAGIARIZED from a FRENCH TELEFILM, which I have been HUNTING DOWN for almost 50 years! Still I can't find it. The director was French so he was well aware of what it was copying. It was never rebroadcast in France when he made this, so he thought no one would know or remember it. He thought wrong! I DO.
