Her "old soul" was trying to hold her back, covering her eyes, weighing her down and trying to prevent her from moving forward. It was her "baggage" that she presented at the end.
i dont believe you understand anything, the dark character is sex or lust, and "can you spot a pattern" is what comes from wandering lust, maybe consequences...involving wandering lust (sex) happening, in this case happening over and over. till you realise.
I didn't listen to Bjork for years but decided to put this one on today...I almost felt scared of this overwhelming feeling of what this song started doing to me.......it's.............it's beautiful...
I have a problem where I don’t remember things that I love for long periods of time. Whenever I’m reminded of Björk it’s all I can listen to for a while ❤
my dad showed me this video ages ago when i was tiny, ive been trying to find it ever since my dad passed from cancer. im literally crying. brings back so many sweet memories
+Michel Degas I would call it _childish_ , and not in the sense of 'silly' as it is usually used, but in the sense that it makes you feel like you're 8 years old, nothing can go wrong, mum is making caramel popcorn and you're sitting in front of the TV at 11 on a sunny morning on a warm hardwood floor. :)
I'm sorry, but this is one of the greatest songs ever recorded. I feel like Bjork and Bowie are 2 sides of the same coin; the masculine and feminine energies of changing and evolution. and, in doing so, being so ahead of the collective curve of other artists that have yet to catch up to them. I'm so glad and thankful we have them and the art they create.
I listened to this song like dozens of times but now I tried to understand what she's trying to tell. I think it's really about the madness of living in the cities. It's about giving up the connection to our neighbour: our nature, unopposedly. Also I understand from it that it needs healing to recover from this sickness. I would agree to her.
its more like no ending travel with no end, you now its have no end but you still need and want to... like battle with The system(?) with the society or something like like this its senseless but you still do this
i will probably never forget the moment when she sang the song live on stage a was so surprised also because it was the time when she already released vulnicura album so i did not think she will sing something from the past
Whenever I listen to Bjork , I like her music even more each time . I love wanderlust . I love how she artistically mixes genres She is way ahead of time.
@Kerolas I love all the horn arrangements! Especially that trumpet line that's rhythmically "1... 3... 1, 2, 3 +, 4-trip-let- 1.....". It's so simple, but there's something very disjointed and awkwardly catchy about it. I guess it's kind of contrary to the rhythm of the electronic parts. Like it almost doesn't fit, in theory, but it's awesome. :)
I am leaving this harbor Giving urban a farewell Its habitants seem too keen on god I cannot stomach their rights and wrongs I have lost my origin And I don't want to find it again Whether sailing into nature's laws And be held by ocean's paws Wanderlust, relentlessly craving Wanderlust, peel off the layers Until we get to the core Did I imagine it would be like this Was it something like this I wished for Or will I want more Lust for comfort Suffocates the soul Relentless restlessness Liberates me (sets me free) I feel at home Whenever the unknown surrounds me I receive its embrace Aboard my floating house Wanderlust, relentlessly craving Wanderlust, peel off the layers…
i believe that the other person (the clay woman) represents her inner self that just wants to stay in one place, it is holding her back. whereas she just wants to be in a state of constant change. The giant face is itself the physicalisation of "wanderlust" and her constant desire to find something new and exciting
Exactly she talks about losing her origin si she wandering but lusting for her inner self she relentlessly craving her but exploring but not specifically looking for anything
A magnificent song of such depth and thought deserves an equally powerful video, and it delivers. The whole look of this video is stupendous, especially the bison. I am also happy that the director included the eerie and haunting foghorn intro from the album, it's imperative to set the tone. Bravo!
Wow. This is so powerful. "I have lost my origin and I don't want to find it again" she sings as a drab figure appears behind her that she has to constantly battle and carry like a burden. To me this is a version of herself who wants to live the safe life. Notice how when she reaches the waterfall it's this part of her that stops herself throwing herself off in the pursuit of the wonderful. I can really relate the feeling of wanting to break out of the life that was being imagined for me from a young age and how you carry those expectations around with you for many years, constantly battling to assert the authentic version of me over the default version. Again I say wow. And this from what some consider to be Bjork's weakest album. What a song.
Bjorks a genius. She went out with Tricky I think. Hes great too. True musicians with substance and expression in their music. Also liking the poetic art of David Bowie, Gary Numan, Massive Attack, Radiohead, UNKLE, PJ Harvey, Allflaws
This video is nothing short of sensational and genius. I hope she was awarded a Grammy for best video on this? Anyways, it reminds me of early childhood memories, when mom took me to the bank. While she was busy at the teller, I was instructed to use the 'kids cinema': a table sized massive thing with binoculars. Then you pressed a button and a black & white trick-film would start with similarly weird creatures like this one...it actually spooked me a bit but made me all the more intrigued.
потрясающая песня, весь клип смотрел на пластилиновые горы, слегка смутил сам пластилин, но всё таки остался при хороших впечатлениях. на самом деле когда услышал трек впервые нарисовал совсем другую картинку, в принципе если смешать увиденное и нарисованное то получится что-то очень прекрасное! очень красиво. спасибо Бьорк!
This is insanely beautiful. I could go on and on about the interpretations I made from this video but the person holding her back the purple dead looking figure was her old self. It spawned from her back pack because what other tools do we have but our pasts to help us along the way? She couldn't have found what she was looking for without her old self but in the end had to show it who was boss and found the unknown she was searching for. Wanderlust.
This video is a very creative idea, the techniques and diffrent models made to be in it are greatly done, It may take some time for viewers to actually get the meaning of this video, but you also have to listen to what the words in the song say and how they connect with scenes in this video. I simply love it. This is well done, I suppose you could call it.. Majestic. Good job.
+Karel Zich I disagree, if you listen to the lyrics and really appreciate the music and instruments utilised it stand as a solid album on par with her previous work.
I spent about a year trying to find this video ('cause i couldn't remember the name) i saw the begining once somewhere and thought it was beautiful. Now i found it...i don't regret a single minute i spend while looking for it...this is so beautiful it was all worth it. Thank you Björk (Pardon my english) :)
I saw the 3D video today at Aros (aarhus - Denmark) It is a fantastic video! The hole story is very good.. I love it! Really nice work by Encyclopedia Pictura!
one of my favorite songs, period. the vid is amazing - she'll never do the same thing twice, that's for sure. she's like a little genghis khan here, and i love it, it certainly fits her.
bjork i fell in love with you when i was 13 and at 32 i still love you now. you speak to me in that insane , crazy , ingenious way that you do. keep it up!
Weird enough I first heard this song and saw a portion of the 3D version at the New National Gallery in Berlin, it was prt of their Wanderlust exhibit on art based around travel. It’s definitely beautiful!
really, I think Björk was showing us how The Suni and Shiite can still get along besides their differences. Her yellow how and her two legs contrast starkly from the four legs and brown heads of the buffalo, and yet they manage to move together down the river, surviving its twists and turns. Really beautiful - you show us how we should act Björk!
I was still barely getting over the wonder that had happened to me from listening to Post, when this absolute beauty came out.. and there were what, three other albums that I hadn’t even begun to process yet ❤❤❤
This reminds me of Joga, I really love this video I mean the amount of work and vision its just awesome even if you dont like the music you must recognise the creativity
estoy totalmente fascinado con esta cancion, el video es increiblemete hipnotizante, jamas he visto un trabajo asi, es una obra de arte, que mas se podia esperar de esta maravillosa artista..Viva Bjôrk !! Viva Wanderlust !!!
This song makes me know there feel her next album will be soaring with fast ballads and magnificent lyrics. (Volta and Voltaic are awesome) My dad loves the horns and the Aphex Twin-like beats, while my mom loves her soaring voice and the lyrics. Bjork is the best!
I adore her, at the beginning of the video I wasn't sure but by the end I was captured once again by her amazing talent and creativity, pure like an islandic goddess
It's the state of looking for "something," even though you know you're never going to find it. It's Björk's hunger for "something new". Enjoy listening to her song: "Did I imagine it would be like this? Or will I want more?"
Bjork tends to play with the idea that music doesn't have to be beautiful if it challenges you or make you think about what music means. She has a phenomenal voice, which can reach incredible beauty then dip into something almost primitive and raw.
That was amazing. The story seems to be about the quest for truth, spiritual enlightenment, and that you can take many paths in your life, perhaps saying you find out when you die.
@@jjt-firework not sure your right, do you know what a "waterfall" represents? falling or failing because of need or (lust) for sex, and the possible consequences that may come from sex for example an incurable std.
She's carrying her body (gendered, ageing, and subject to entropy) with her, as we all must do. At the end, she's able to accept it, tho through her journey she fought with it and wanted to modify it.
Björk, es increible como se pueden crear cosas tan magnificas como tu música y este Video que despues de "All Is Full of Love" creo que es de lo mejor de su carrera, espero continues deslumbrandonos una y mil veces mas
Encyclopedia Pictura is pretty good at the graphics! I like the art, very beautifal, and personally, I can see some sort of story in a way behind the song, or the story the song plays, I don't really think people get the ideas from drugs.... To Sonnetxi: Those are two of my many favorite people too!
animalia, but the fact that our careers and material posessions are not what matter in this life, since they are finite while our souls are not. Beautiful piece, amazing that this could all be inspired by one video.
Her "old soul" was trying to hold her back, covering her eyes, weighing her down and trying to prevent her from moving forward. It was her "baggage" that she presented at the end.
i dont believe you understand anything, the dark character is sex or lust, and "can you spot a pattern" is what comes from wandering lust, maybe consequences...involving wandering lust (sex) happening, in this case happening over and over. till you realise.
@javaplant Wanderlust is a desire to travel. Not wandering lust lol.
bjork is mother nature as a person
and venus as a boy
Oh man yes she is ❤
I love how Bjork uses electronic instrumentation in her songs. she's so authentic and full of life that she gives these machines such a human element.
HAVE U HEARD HERE SOUNDTRACK ALBUM TO HERE ONLY MOVIE ALL MACHINES AND PLANTS AND ALL HAVE LIFE IN IT 😀🌟🍁🍃🍂☉💕
I didn't listen to Bjork for years but decided to put this one on today...I almost felt scared of this overwhelming feeling of what this song started doing to me.......it's.............it's beautiful...
Vlad Belov ikr.
I have a problem where I don’t remember things that I love for long periods of time. Whenever I’m reminded of Björk it’s all I can listen to for a while ❤
my dad showed me this video ages ago when i was tiny, ive been trying to find it ever since my dad passed from cancer. im literally crying. brings back so many sweet memories
❤️❤️❤️
He want to show You smth, Be a part of world, nature. Never lost Your origin
The only adjective I can find to give to this video: bjorkish.
+Michel Degas I would call it _childish_ , and not in the sense of 'silly' as it is usually used, but in the sense that it makes you feel like you're 8 years old, nothing can go wrong, mum is making caramel popcorn and you're sitting in front of the TV at 11 on a sunny morning on a warm hardwood floor. :)
porkoddio
bjorkesque
Imagine how trippy bjorks' dreams must be. She should write and publish a dream journal.
I think her music is her dream journal. She's been sharing it with us for 22 years.
***** hm yeah you're right. How silly of me :P We are all very lucky to witness the inner workings of her mind
I think so toooo
I've always thought this is one of the most brilliant psychedelic music videos ever.
Way ahead of her time... I still discover meaning all these years later. A true artist at its essence
This video always fulfills my soul. It's so majestic. Definitely the best visual approach Björk has ever made, in my opinion.
all her videos are great visuals
In my opinion, this is Björk's best video and it's also my favorite one too… ^.^
Same
I'm sorry, but this is one of the greatest songs ever recorded. I feel like Bjork and Bowie are 2 sides of the same coin; the masculine and feminine energies of changing and evolution. and, in doing so, being so ahead of the collective curve of other artists that have yet to catch up to them. I'm so glad and thankful we have them and the art they create.
Bendage . this song is great! but I think UNISON Is her masterpiece
Like Bowie is space and Björk is the earth
allenrpn and Kate Bush is magical dreams
rip David Bowie :(
I think something simular with Björk and MJ.
They should have worked together.
Love Bjork so much. Her music reminds me how amazing it is to be human.
Perfectly put , she does !
i wish they'd upload an HD version!
+Ouren Here you can watch/download an HD version (6 GB!):
vimeo.com/19767341
I relike this every time I watch it. I don't know how this amazes me but it gets me emotional. Keep up the good work, Björk!
My favorite video of all time. I keep coming back. True artists transcend time or era.
This girl is walking , living , breathing art.
Yup miss Bjork is nice.:-)
Check out Aurora
I was listening to this song when I got the phone call about a beloved friend's suicide, and the first thing that came to my mind was, "He's free."
i SWEAR this video disappeared and I had to watch it on dailymotion now its back thank goodness
best video by the best artist ever to bless this century, and the one prior.
JUST GOT UNBLOCKED IN THE US WE WONNN
I listened to this song like dozens of times but now I tried to understand what she's trying to tell. I think it's really about the madness of living in the cities. It's about giving up the connection to our neighbour: our nature, unopposedly.
Also I understand from it that it needs healing to recover from this sickness.
I would agree to her.
its more like no ending travel with no end, you now its have no end but you still need and want to... like battle with The system(?) with the society or something like like this its senseless but you still do this
but you now, everyone sees something diffrent, its depends of what you feelin at that moment
i will probably never forget the moment when she sang the song live on stage a was so surprised also because it was the time when she already released vulnicura album so i did not think she will sing something from the past
Im the only one who gets extremely scared by the last scene? It reminds me to death or something like that
+Juan Gea reminds me of the next chapter of life, or being saved
+George David How do you interpret the last images together with the lyrics surrounding them?
In my opinion, this is the best Björk video ever!
Bjork, I don't know you, but I think, that you are the today's Mozart or at least Beethoven
Whenever I listen to Bjork , I like her music even more each time .
I love wanderlust .
I love how she artistically mixes genres
She is way ahead of time.
I'm very grateful for this.
@Kerolas

I am leaving this harbor
Giving urban a farewell
Its habitants seem too keen on god
I cannot stomach their rights and wrongs
I have lost my origin
And I don't want to find it again
Whether sailing into nature's laws
And be held by ocean's paws
Wanderlust, relentlessly craving
Wanderlust, peel off the layers
Until we get to the core
Did I imagine it would be like this
Was it something like this I wished for
Or will I want more
Lust for comfort
Suffocates the soul
Relentless restlessness
Liberates me (sets me free)
I feel at home
Whenever the unknown surrounds me
I receive its embrace
Aboard my floating house
Wanderlust, relentlessly craving
Wanderlust, peel off the layers…
timbaland and danja produced it

she is so ahead of her time
i feel that i can't have a backpack in my life
...my heart is pounding faster and my breath has deepened. I remain absolutely speechless.
this song is too hypnotic. The beat makes me wanna cry because of the passion of the lyrics
Wow. This is so powerful.
"I have lost my origin and I don't want to find it again" she sings as a drab figure appears behind her that she has to constantly battle and carry like a burden.
To me this is a version of herself who wants to live the safe life. Notice how when she reaches the waterfall it's this part of her that stops herself throwing herself off in the pursuit of the wonderful.

Again I say wow. And this from what some consider to be Bjork's weakest album. What a song.
A masterpiece...the meaning and the creativity
Lo puedo ver 20 millones de veces que me va a gustar igual como la primera vez que vi este vídeo.
The fact that those buffalo's arent CGI scares me but also fascinates me! This is wonderful.
One of the best things she’s ever done
this is so well done
Few pieces of art have ever so clearly depicted the style of my dreams
Bjorks a genius. She went out with Tricky I think. Hes great too.

waaaaandeeeeerluuuuuuuuuust
At the song's end there's Morse Code that reads "wanderlust."
This video is a very creative idea, the techniques and diffrent models made to be in it are greatly done, It may take some time for viewers to actually get the meaning of this video, but you also have to listen to what the words in the song say and how they connect with scenes in this video.

if every song on Volta was this good, it would have been an easy candidate for her best album
+Karel Zich
Dull Flame of Desire is her best song ever :) I See Who You Are is also better than Wanderlust
I politely disagree:) actually those two songs are probably my top 3 tracks on Volta, but I think Wanderlust is even better.
+Karel Zich I disagree, if you listen to the lyrics and really appreciate the music and instruments utilised it stand as a solid album on par with her previous work.
+Karel Zich you think...
+Timothy Pullins IKR?

Dormammu I've come to bargain.

one of my favorite songs, period. the vid is amazing - she'll never do the same thing twice, that's for sure. she's like a little genghis khan here, and i love it, it certainly fits her.
there's this bigger-than-life-feeling the chorus gives me as if I was running against the clock... like it fully makes me realize I am alive
bjork i fell in love with you when i was 13 and at 32 i still love you now. you speak to me in that insane , crazy , ingenious way that you do. keep it up!
Bjork is like smoked fish for my mind, I loves her so much. Every new video that comes out is so cool and unique.
Weird enough I first heard this song and saw a portion of the 3D version at the New National Gallery in Berlin, it was prt of their Wanderlust exhibit on art based around travel. It’s definitely beautiful!

this is beyond words. amazing work.. idea, graphics, performance.. all great, 11/10 haha
This reminds me of Joga, I really love this video I mean the amount of work and vision its just awesome even if you dont like the music you must recognise the creativity
God, this is the epitome of beautiful. Maybe it's just calling out to the artist in me, but I love her voice, her lyrics, her videos...
2018, 6 a.m, 😍 so much emotion like it was the first time!!!!!! #Brazil
wow i'm blown away by this-such a beautifull video and i love the song even more from watching it-her videos are amazing!
Beautiful! It's going to look amazing in 3-D!
Creative, a piece of art all in itself. I want to see this masterpiece in 3-D at all. BRILLIANT.
Surely this is going to be the new HYPERBALLAD on her second greatest hits album, the best one of her new songs
this song... and the video are just SO amazing... a masterpiece. love it, wow.
estoy totalmente fascinado con esta cancion, el video es increiblemete hipnotizante, jamas he visto un trabajo asi, es una obra de arte, que mas se podia esperar de esta maravillosa artista..Viva Bjôrk !! Viva Wanderlust !!!
definitivamente una de mis canciones favoritas de Björk

Enjoy listening to her song: "Did I imagine it would be like this? Or will I want more?"
this song is soooo powerful !
C'mon, who the hell cannot like this video? :o
this is pure art, a masterpice!
Starts with 'Earth Intruders' Ending at the beginning of this video
wow, ive been away from bjork and her music for quite some time, and i come back to this.. Wonderful music to a wonderful vid. so win!
Bjork tends to play with the idea that music doesn't have to be beautiful if it challenges you or make you think about what music means. She has a phenomenal voice, which can reach incredible beauty then dip into something almost primitive and raw.
ive only ever known this "2D" version...
so imagine what a 3D version would sound like... :O
That was amazing. The story seems to be about the quest for truth, spiritual enlightenment, and that you can take many paths in your life, perhaps saying you find out when you die.
i've never been so confused in my entire life
The music video is finally back!!!
this video is haunting, beautiful..
the best video from Volta era..
I found it! This is the video I saw with my friend late at night on mtv back in 2008. When I was a kid I thought it was super duper creepy.
The most imaginative music video I have seen in a decade. x
i keep coming back to this song whenever i need that ultimate peace of mind
I feel... ...weird....
Björk is a Juck Norris of Art!
Seriously, every damn song is the one best song in the world...
amazing song and video! in one word..WANDERFUL!! :)
Is this the death or the birth of Isobel?
@@jjt-firework great interpretation
@@jjt-firework not sure your right, do you know what a "waterfall" represents? falling or failing because of need or (lust) for sex, and the possible consequences that may come from sex for example an incurable std.
She's carrying her body (gendered, ageing, and subject to entropy) with her, as we all must do. At the end, she's able to accept it, tho through her journey she fought with it and wanted to modify it.
our past is over and no one can say that is was really true (you just remember), what is happening is true, the only truth...
I wish we could get a higher resolution version of this video on UA-cam! :-) Please, Björk my dear.
Björk, es increible como se pueden crear cosas tan magnificas como tu música y este Video que despues de "All Is Full of Love" creo que es de lo mejor de su carrera, espero continues deslumbrandonos una y mil veces mas

animalia, but the fact that our careers and material posessions are not what matter in this life, since they are finite while our souls are not. Beautiful piece, amazing that this could all be inspired by one video.
