stinooke Still, it was recorded and edited so it makes it electronic, but organic. Plus some of the voices in the background in this song are clearly edited.
The way she screams and the way she looks at 1:11 is so powerful. You can feel despair, anger, like the ocean is saying "how could you forget who raised you?!"
And what I find most dangerous are these 'fairie' voices in the back... somehow siren-like, inviting me to explore somewhere that's gonna kill me but still I stand curious
One breath away from mother Oceanðòa Your nimble feet make prints in my sands You have done good for yourselves Since you left my wet embrace And crawled ashore Every boy, is a snake is a lily Every pearl is a lynx, is a girl Sweet like harmony made into flesh You dance by my side Children sublime You show me continents I see islands You count the centuries I blink my eyes Hawks and sparrows race in my waters Stingrays are floating Across the sky Little ones, my sons and my daughters Your sweat is salty I am why I am why I am why Your sweat is salty I am why I am why I am why
This song means a lot to me. I had a very religious upbringing; my parents are now divorced due to religious differences. They always tried to (and still do) impose their religious views on me. For a long time I believed in God and I was a creationist. I first heard this song when I was around 9 or 10. At that age, song lyrics never really resonated with me and I never tried to understand the meaning behind the music I listened to. But when I first heard this song, read and understood the meaning behind the lyrics, they made more sense to me than creationism ever did. And even though I still remained religious for a while, I will never forget the epiphany I had listening to this song. It was incredibly fascinating. It's interesting to think about how children respond when they're exposed to different views at young ages. We never studied evolution in school, but this song was sort of a gateway to a whole world that my parents would never expose me to. I have Bjork to thank for sparking my interest in biology and I'm studying it now in university. :)
Bjork is an epic artist, everytime i hear her songs i feel like my mind travels to a diferent place. Theres really something diferent in her music compared to other artists... I really think shes way ahead of her time and the time we live.
Sin duda, es el vídeo más mágico y hermoso que he visto. La voz de björk y la letra de la canción, junto con el vídeo se complementan a la perfección. Me gusta muchísimo björk, la admiro mucho, es tan mágica y con su voz te transmite tantas emociones.
A poetic take on evolution! Only Björk would have thought of that! :D The final sentence, "your sweat is salty / I am why", is weird on its own, but connecting that to "you left my wet embrace / and crawled ashore", I assume she means even though we no longer live in the ocean, the ocean (salt water) still lives in us in a way.
Trivia about "Medúlla" (2004), the album which contains this song: apart from a piano in one track and a gong in another, EVERY sound you hear is made from human voices. Apart from using her own vocals, Björk recruited full choirs and several singers, vocal artists and beatboxers.
@@Obbee björk has always had an interesting rhythm and drum production in her albums not just this one like on homogenic beats were made with samples from volcanoes and in vespertine from various everyday household stuff
Yo escuchaba la canción "Oceania" de Björk, del álbum "Medülla", yo escuché por primera vez de chiquito en Cartoon Network en 2008 y me crecí escuchándome en Radio Disney en 2023
"À um sopro Da Mãe Oceânia Seus pés ligeiros Deixam pegadas em minha areia Vocês fizeram Bem para vocês mesmos Desde que deixaram meu abraço úmido E rastejaram à terra Todo menino É uma cobra, é um lírio Toda pérola É um lince, é uma menina Doce como harmonia Feita em carne, oh Vocês dançam ao meu lado Crianças sublimes Você me mostra continentes Eu vejo ilhas Você conta os séculos Eu pisco meus olhos Falcões e pardais Correm em minhas águas Raias estão flutuando Pelo céu Pequeninos Meus filhos e minhas filhas, oh Seu suor é salgado Eu sou o porquê Eu sou o porquê Eu sou o porquê Seu suor é salgado Eu sou o porquê Eu sou o porquê Eu sou o porquê"
Dear Mother Oceania... I am so sad for all we've done to your beautiful body. Eating and killing for nothing to much of our brothers and sisters. I am near you from now. Maybe someday somehow I will come back to you. Love from my heart one of yours long time walking salty tear children
Oceania - lyrics ❀ ( • Björk ) : One breath away from mother Oceania, Your nimble feet make prints in my sands. You have done good for yourselves Since you left my wet embrace And crawled ashore. Every boy is a snake, is a lily. Every pearl is a lynx, is a girl. Sweet like harmony made into flesh, ah, You dance by my side, Children sublime. You show me continents - I see the islands. You count the centuries - I blink my eyes. Hawks and sparrows race in my waters. Stingrays are floating across the sky. Little ones, my sons and my daughters, ah, Your sweat is salty. I am why? I am why? I am why? Your sweat is salty. I am why? I am why? I am why?
Love previous' Björk because it's so much attitudes in it! The well iconic Icelandic's female musician are still giving the world the most innovative inspirations of being weird and interesting! All The Best! 👍🏻👍🏻 2022

bjork è un genio della musica,incomparabile a qualsiasi altra cantante. avanti anni luce per suoni,voce e video. Geniale anche davanti ad una cinepresa avendo vinto un oscar come migliore attrice protagonista alla sua prima esperienza cinematografica.
Recuerdo que esta cancion fue la que engalano la ceremonia de inauguracion de las olimpiadas de atenas 2004 fue hermosa y sublime la presentacion de björk ,arte total❤
I like heavy metal, doom metal, hard rock, black metal, symphonic metal, thrash metal...and Björk. Definitively one of the most creative, avant-garde and talented true artists out there. No wonder she has so many loyal fans!
Welcome. I discover her with 35 intensly since three weeks now. She is now my favorite female artist! Its never to late I guess! I would love to see her live but I have to wait til the next album!
never comparing gaga and bjork together, if you are art student , you'll understand why. both of them deliver their art in different way. different meaning. different view.
Its amazing on how she interprets sex as an ocean.... Those jellyfishes are the sperms.... and the shining pearl at the end is the ovum.... The amount of metaphors and symbolism in the lyrics are amazing as well.... such an underrated artist
My simple mind used to interpret the MV as a reference to the Mother of Nature who created all mankind from under the sea, because that's where life on Earth began. And the jellyfishes are supposed to represent the very first creatures, swimming around the 'tree of life' or sth like that. But now I read your comment and I can never look at this clip the same :-(
Saturn Boy underrated? everybody loves her. And the one that doesn't understand her, at least they respect her. She has built herself into a very good position, I might say. She's so amazing
Eu havia compreendido o esforço do teu trabalho na escuta deste album, achei muito sério o que colhi de interpretação. Preciso lembrar mais de obras como a sua. Sempre Obrigado, Bjork. Eu te amo.
what makes Bjork's music beautiful is the fact that it is about stuff that matters, stuff that will and has always been current... the things we dream of and cannot conceptualise or put into words, she does; she is like a pot of expression that sustains itself, feeding itself ingredients and cooking, always, at just the right temperature ... i would found a wiccan coven in her honour because She just has this interconnectedness and understanding of the Earth that we can all learn from
I am an autistic person and björk's music has helped me a lot in my panic attacks or when I get very nervous, especially this song
Igual me ayuda a mi
How?
bjork is only for autists down syndrome and other miserable shits
Yo también tengo autismo y me encanta la música de esta mujer porque parece música hecha para gente como yo.
mother cares for all of her children
please note that ALL MUSIC IS MADE WITH VOCAL SOUNDS!!! Geniussss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Vinsu Karma which is in the same album
Yaas just like the whole album
There's musical instruments on Who is it.
El Repu not in the album version
+Gonçalo Martins what about ancestors and desired constellation
Bjork giving inspiration for the girls "Doja cat red look" 😂
"your sweat is salty, I am why" is pure poetry
Björk is a master in making electronic music feel so organic.
That's one beautiful definition! I bet she would very much agree with you.
It's not electronic, Medullá is entirely a capella :)
stinooke Still, it was recorded and edited so it makes it electronic, but organic. Plus some of the voices in the background in this song are clearly edited.
Theres a documentary about the making of Medulla
Maybe u could watch it, its all human voices and almost no editing.
Rafaelmejor94 lol by that definition all music is electronic
bjork is a fucking genius slay mama
+maisa True that, she is so smart, most people don't understand what she s talking about
+DanMice1 she deserves to be recognized
'slay?
'slay. 💁
as much as björk, her listeners are ahead of time. the use of "slay" wow
The way she screams and the way she looks at 1:11 is so powerful. You can feel despair, anger, like the ocean is saying "how could you forget who raised you?!"
Edson Guilherme Souza perfecttttt voice 😍
"how could you forget who raised you?!" you made me in tears. Now, after years, now I fell I understand this song
aw i really felt dat bro
it's giving "choosable fighter sequence in a fighter game" vibes. would not mess w her
I dont feel that i feel intense expression of life,bjork is a triple scorpio so.... 😂 a litle bit intense
It sounds beautiful, and powerful, and dangerous... Pretty much like the sea, isn't it?
Daniel Brassesco I love how you described this.
Godamn, Daniel, you just captured it so beautifully. Thank you for that.
Thank you ❤️
And what I find most dangerous are these 'fairie' voices in the back... somehow siren-like, inviting me to explore somewhere that's gonna kill me but still I stand curious
she performed with this song in Athens olympics in 2004!absolutely perfect!
actually it was play back :-( she wanted to sing but organizators couldnt alowed
if remember correctly no musical instruments were used in the making of this album...just human voices
some songs feature some instruments
You're Right....
Ancestors has piano but other than that there were no instruments
The human voice is the oldest musical instrument. And damn she made great use of it in Medúlla.
and a cat
One breath away from mother Oceanðòa
Your nimble feet make prints in my sands
You have done good for yourselves
Since you left my wet embrace
And crawled ashore
Every boy, is a snake is a lily
Every pearl is a lynx, is a girl
Sweet like harmony made into flesh
You dance by my side
Children sublime
You show me continents
I see islands
You count the centuries
I blink my eyes
Hawks and sparrows race in my waters
Stingrays are floating
Across the sky
Little ones, my sons and my daughters
Your sweat is salty
I am why
I am why
I am why
Your sweat is salty
I am why
I am why
I am why

Sara Barkat this is so inspiring thanks for sharing
wow!
Sara Barkat This is beautiful ♡
This is a great story Sara!
Sara Barkat that’s great!!!
how lucky we are to live in the same time as her
Bjork is an epic artist, everytime i hear her songs i feel like my mind travels to a diferent place. Theres really something diferent in her music compared to other artists...
I really think shes way ahead of her time and the time we live.
Björk es belleza, creatividad, inteligencia, genialidad, perfección, talento , la mejor cantante de todos los tiempos!!
I dont know what beats Bjork as the Ocean personified singing to the human race
Amazing
Lucas Vieira I love your profile pic! ;0; Gantz's dog
Björk as the whole planet Earth personified singing to the human race (Sacrifice from Biophillia)
I love this verse: "... Sweet like harmony / made into flesh / you dance by my side/ children sublime..." She makes me cry...
Sin duda, es el vídeo más mágico y hermoso que he visto. La voz de björk y la letra de la canción, junto con el vídeo se complementan a la perfección. Me gusta muchísimo björk, la admiro mucho, es tan mágica y con su voz te transmite tantas emociones.
Y se nota que en utopia retomo este lado de animacion y se me hace muy similar
Love her or hate her, Bjork is a fact, a force of nature...
"your sweat is salty" is a masterpiece. No one could think of that poetry in a billion years.
She's not from this planet, she's too perfect to be human, I swear *^* asdfghjkaln
Liz Albarn absolutely true
Something tells me that you are wrong
Liz Albarn she is a Björkian, last of her race
Neither of this galaxy or universe her spirit flows in cosmical timeless space
👉💪
Bjork es ese tipo de artistas que al principio no es fácil entender pero cuando lo haces te das cuenta que es única.
The siren screams and throat sing-like sounds surprised me :D amazing beat!
Simplemente maravilloso.... Bjork es humana como pocos.
I'm so sad sometimes because a lot of people never listen to bjork.... I thank the God that I am listening to her music from 2005 and after..
Every boy is a snake is a lily
Every pearl is a lynx, is a pearl
Ekaterina JJ is a girl*
i just cant stop listening to this song
i understand is my favourite with pagan poetry , sorry for my english im french baguette :)
SAME
A poetic take on evolution! Only Björk would have thought of that! :D
The final sentence, "your sweat is salty / I am why", is weird on its own, but connecting that to "you left my wet embrace / and crawled ashore", I assume she means even though we no longer live in the ocean, the ocean (salt water) still lives in us in a way.
also she might have meant the fetal membranes
Yessss
I do believe Sjón, Icelandic poet, has a lion share on the lyrics.
Trivia about "Medúlla" (2004), the album which contains this song: apart from a piano in one track and a gong in another, EVERY sound you hear is made from human voices. Apart from using her own vocals, Björk recruited full choirs and several singers, vocal artists and beatboxers.
thats explains why the beat has some very "indie" sound to it..most mainstream has a very repetitive and catchy beat made by a DJ to sound more "pop"
Wow❤️
@@Obbee björk has always had an interesting rhythm and drum production in her albums not just this one like on homogenic beats were made with samples from volcanoes and in vespertine from various everyday household stuff
This song was written so unconventionally. I love how it convulses into that supreme accented howl... Chills shivers
This song is so beautiful it makes me wanna cry.
always
Drama Queen
tears are salty too ; ) so... no problem.
+1
Ella es única, no hay otra artista Igual, existen imitaciones, pero Björk es única en lo que hace, y hace música con sentido ♥
Yo escuchaba la canción "Oceania" de Björk, del álbum "Medülla", yo escuché por primera vez de chiquito en Cartoon Network en 2008 y me crecí escuchándome en Radio Disney en 2023
Cinematic kind of music
Instead of using drugs, I listen Bjork...brings me to another beautiful worlds and she doesn´t affect my health condition!
At my planet this music is being played every millisecond.
Trypophobiacs are going crazy, right now.
I'm tripophbiac... But I have no problem with this video... Because is Björk
Tawi Dave me
"À um sopro
Da Mãe Oceânia
Seus pés ligeiros
Deixam pegadas em minha areia
Vocês fizeram
Bem para vocês mesmos
Desde que deixaram meu abraço úmido
E rastejaram à terra
Todo menino
É uma cobra, é um lírio
Toda pérola
É um lince, é uma menina
Doce como harmonia
Feita em carne, oh
Vocês dançam ao meu lado
Crianças sublimes
Você me mostra continentes
Eu vejo ilhas
Você conta os séculos
Eu pisco meus olhos
Falcões e pardais
Correm em minhas águas
Raias estão flutuando
Pelo céu
Pequeninos
Meus filhos e minhas filhas, oh
Seu suor é salgado
Eu sou o porquê
Eu sou o porquê
Eu sou o porquê
Seu suor é salgado
Eu sou o porquê
Eu sou o porquê
Eu sou o porquê"
que lindo! trata se da tradução desta canção?
@@andregomes8644 Sim! Mt linda
one of the best videos of bjork
Meus dias com Björk na MTV eram especiais
concordo, idem.
Bjork é simplesmente incrivel...
Wow I love the jewels she put on her face ; they glow in the light, that's so gorgeous ♥
Masterpiece.
Bjork is a genius!!!!
i remember entering her Volta concert in Athens and this is the song that she sang...LOVE this song!
Dear Mother Oceania...
I am so sad for all we've done to your beautiful body.
Eating and killing for nothing to much of our brothers and sisters.
I am near you from now.
Maybe someday somehow
I will come back to you.
Love from my heart
one of yours long time walking salty tear children
Athens 2004 Opening Ceremony brought me here (I love her music!)
It always seems to be in the water. . . All these effects are very well done 🥰
Oceania - lyrics ❀ ( • Björk ) :
One breath away from mother Oceania,
Your nimble feet make prints in my sands.
You have done good for yourselves
Since you left my wet embrace
And crawled ashore.
Every boy is a snake, is a lily.
Every pearl is a lynx, is a girl.
Sweet like harmony made into flesh, ah,
You dance by my side,
Children sublime.
You show me continents -
I see the islands.
You count the centuries -
I blink my eyes.
Hawks and sparrows race in my waters.
Stingrays are floating across the sky.
Little ones, my sons and my daughters, ah,
Your sweat is salty.
I am why?
I am why?
I am why?
Your sweat is salty.
I am why?
I am why?
I am why?
La profundidad del océano la poseyó y habló a través de ella ~
Una de las mejores canciones en la mejor voz femenina de los últimos tiempos!
I've been living in this place since the day I saw your video for the first time 🤩
Her extraordinary voice is really at the top in this song
mi orientación sexual es björk
X2 lpm
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Pensé ser el Único en esa condición 🤣
So you will be alone Always...
Iyo po?
This video makes me cry because of the majesty of the cinematography
Love previous' Björk because it's so much attitudes in it!
The well iconic Icelandic's female musician are still giving the world the most innovative inspirations of being weird and interesting!
All The Best! 👍🏻👍🏻 2022

She's the best!
what a nice trip! full of colors and textured eploding and expanding simultaniously
Still one of my favourite songs by her, since I saw her performance at the Athens Olympic Games!
She's so glowing in this video. It's magical. I'm amazed,I really can't describe my feelings about her right now. I'm just greatful for her existence.
bjork è un genio della musica,incomparabile a qualsiasi altra cantante. avanti anni luce per suoni,voce e video. Geniale anche davanti ad una cinepresa avendo vinto un oscar come migliore attrice protagonista alla sua prima esperienza cinematografica.

My favourite Bjork song
Bjork was born on 21st of November right? Yesterday was her birthday..! Happy belated birthday, Björk :D you are a fairy to me! Love from Italy!
This is real ART
i can't describe how much this song communicates to me, im totally into this song
I like heavy metal, doom metal, hard rock, black metal, symphonic metal, thrash metal...and Björk. Definitively one of the most creative, avant-garde and talented true artists out there. No wonder she has so many loyal fans!
This video is so amazing! And I'm watching it for the first time
Hochulia Enjoy it. I'm a Björka (Björk fan) 😊😂
Such an enchanting video and the playfulness in the vocals is exciting!
2019 and still love these song 😍
I love this song and it's sounds so much❤
Björk mother Genius❤
how she manages to come up with this music alone from inside her... just fucking mindblowing
Ammy hola
I like everything about this song and video. It just hypnotizes me! *-*
Oh this song is so beautiful. I first listened to it 15 or so years ago, it still resonates in my memory from time to time.
Love this, magic and sweet.
It took me this long to appreciate Bjork. I was 13 when I saw this video first time and I just did not get it at all.
Welcome. I discover her with 35 intensly since three weeks now.
She is now my favorite female artist!
Its never to late I guess!
I would love to see her live but I have to wait til the next album!
Superb bjork avante garde music 👍👍👍
those backup vocals are so captivating....
Como es que no suben tremendo video en HD!!!
Martina Moreno porqué en el 2004 no había hd..
oh.... de todas formas la calidad es demasiado mala.
Es tan relajante escuchar su voz:::
never comparing gaga and bjork together, if you are art student , you'll understand why. both of them deliver their art in different way. different meaning. different view.
I love this song, bubbles bubbles 🌬 💫 🧜🏻♀️
una de las canciones más hermosas que he escuchado...
Buenisima la cancion !! de mis favoritas de Medulla !! y el video me encanta!! muy original todo...
Its amazing on how she interprets sex as an ocean.... Those jellyfishes are the sperms.... and the shining pearl at the end is the ovum.... The amount of metaphors and symbolism in the lyrics are amazing as well.... such an underrated artist
My simple mind used to interpret the MV as a reference to the Mother of Nature who created all mankind from under the sea, because that's where life on Earth began. And the jellyfishes are supposed to represent the very first creatures, swimming around the 'tree of life' or sth like that. But now I read your comment and I can never look at this clip the same :-(
Saturn Boy underrated? everybody loves her. And the one that doesn't understand her, at least they respect her. She has built herself into a very good position, I might say. She's so amazing
At first I thought the video was about sex too, I’m happy I am not the only one XD
Love & Light to Bjork from Greece!
Cuánto salía en MTV en la madrugada cuando tenía que ir al colegio 🎧
La primera canción que escuche de ella, y me termino enamorando su música ❤️
Eu havia compreendido o esforço do teu trabalho na escuta deste album, achei muito sério o que colhi de interpretação. Preciso lembrar mais de obras como a sua. Sempre Obrigado, Bjork. Eu te amo.
i really would like that all people could start listening to her, it will be a small step to change mind and live in a better world.
Hava a nice day
I have trypophobia yet i love Björk and push myself to watch the clip
History of Evolution by Ocean's eyes :)
I LOVE this woman SO much! best female artist.
what makes Bjork's music beautiful is the fact that it is about stuff that matters, stuff that will and has always been current... the things we dream of and cannot conceptualise or put into words, she does; she is like a pot of expression that sustains itself, feeding itself ingredients and cooking, always, at just the right temperature ... i would found a wiccan coven in her honour because She just has this interconnectedness and understanding of the Earth that we can all learn from
Björk sempre me surpreende. As músicas dela são todas muito lindas. E que notas que ela pega, me impressiona.
Sublime...
the lyrics are literally poetry
I am in love with the idea in this song! "You have done well for yourselves since you left my wet embrace..." :D
this was the only song from bjork that actually didnt creep me,in a bad way...damm this song is so easy to listen...
💓 libélula 💓
