Imagine being the art department when she's explaining what she wants the music video to look like
best answer
blabliblubb22 Yo chill dude
Yo, BlibBlob. What up.
what a child
She tried to explain it on the interview premiere of nowness but she kept saying prisms nonsense and the interviewer was just like ok lol.. I love her ❤️
I'm pretty sure this is just footage from an average Icelandic picnic.
Yes,it's magic, never seen the northern lights,but she surely is one of them
@@brigittetucker1767 thats a beautiful comment
Hahaha... genius comment.
@@adlerfg 💗
Last night I dreamt of being in Iceland and I was in a beech forest with trees as tall and silvery as the Mallorn trees in Lothlorien.
Does that mean something? 😂
Nice to see her at her home planet, I'm sure they have missed her. I hope she continues to send her music perfection to earth.
@Miguel Flagstaff you've figured it out!
🙏🙏🙏
I think about this comment a lot lol
Hahahaha good one.. But no.. She s beatifull earrrrrthling
Many Indonesian influences here.
And her way of singing called "Nyinden" or "Sinden" in Sundanese/Javanese.
I love every song Björk has about the orgasmic bliss of being vulnerable with a loved one.
Bjork lives in the year 3562.
no lol she is like in 8976
bjork is space, she is the earth, she is creation
Please let the future be an utopia
Where she lives time doesn’t exist anymore
I want her to take me, I love her too much. 😭💗💗💗
Bjorks videos have the nicest comment section
Because closed minded people don’t get her.
@@christine2166 Bjork is not for everyone... I didn't like her when I first heard her.... but then suddenly fell in love completely for the whole life.
John Connor, fair enough. I’m glad that you have crossed over to us. 😊
Christine no they aren’t close minded hey just have a different taste in music. You probably shit on modern music thinking’s it’s all Cardi B and people like that dying it’s bad and has no effort. (Or well I’ve seen a huge amount of Björk fans do that). So why can’t they have an opinion in thinking it’s bad?
@@yourfrenghost3028 MRS OBAMA GET DOWN
i really started to think that everyone who loves to listen Bjork are good person at heart.
Either that that or a dramatic Villain
well... that's not what her fans show for sure LOL
Okay buy y’all remember the bjork stalker right ?
@@smoshabi I was just going to comment "I'm really trying but the world hurt me so badly that I'm just become the dramatic village of the show 😂"
@@huynhcongminh104 ikr 🗿
This has more quality and grace than most academy award winning films.
That’s a weird statement. As if the Academy has anything to do with music videos…
@@boobella899 ikr, its so cringe
True💗
@@boobella899 they didn't lie

If Bjork gets more creative than this, she will explode.
Sara Corceiro
lol she may go critical in a super nova of passion
Sara Corceiro ikr
She could implode and become a wormhole to some perfect dimension for living beings and you would hear her welcome you while you travel through the wormhole
She is Bjork, she will never explode
but she would implode
I think what's so fascinating about Bjork and what draws people to her and her art is her complete and utter lack of pretentiousness. Her music, her voice, her vision is all pure Bjork, organic and from deep within her soul. She shares her true spirit with the world. It's on such another level, it's not even just music anymore.
@rektnarok i'm 100% sure you don't know what pretentious means
rektnarok all is yellow to the jaundiced eye.
she has an amazing voice but lack of pretension? no, fren. this is the epitome of pretension.
@@violetwinspear4466 what do y'all mean by pretension? you all keep saying this word. I do not think it means what you think it does
I agree this content is its own form of therapy.
One of the living independent and non-commercial artists ever!

I guess a chronic drunk ought to know.
So this is life looks like, huh?
“Ok”
- Mother Teresa
“Alan Watts”, probably
I am entirely convinced she is not of this world.
KindlyDevious1 I've been saying this for years Bjork is definitely a space pixie.
Exactly as everyone else.
Transcendence
Not really
If you trip on DMT you realize that we all have this inside of us. Idk if she has taken the drug herself but as someone who has this video is eerily similar. It's so amazing that Bjork made a video that makes me feel so good without having to trip balls xD
This is not just a music video, it's a performance
L Rey it’s an experience.
L Rey it’s a feeling
ich finde es ist das bisher kreativste und neuartigste von ihr, sehr gute arbeit
It’s a vibe
It's a lifestyle
she's a QUEEN, REPEAT AFTER ME. QUEEN QUEEN QUEEN QUEEN QUEEN.
why are u speaking so many facts?
I am fascinated by this video. It represented so perfectly what love between two people is: an exchange of continuosly mutating and strong emotions. Bjork never fails to amaze me. She helps me understand myself as I try to understand her magnificence.

Björk the ancient extraterrestrial goddess
Ancient, yes, but neither extraterrestrial nor goddess. She's a fairy born.
No shit.
yep
Exactly!! I couldn't quite put my finger on it but you nailed it!
I love this. She's a woman wearing this goddess for us. She creates a landscape and a ritual to access this goddess. She points our eyes, our attention and our hearts to something she is not. One of the best at incanting these ancient presences within our specific, modern, practices.
this is about true love. how the reciprocation of compassion and "care" is not just a want, but a need. the part where she licks her fingers after each interaction with her partner signifies her want, her urging desire to give and receive more, and they continuously become one, forever and ever...
beautiful
your opinion.
Spot on Girl!!!
And true love is more delightful than anything
The creation of singularity from two separate beings
This video clip deserves to be re-uploaded in 4k HDR
True. I almost had a stroke from how beautiful this is but I keep wishing it was in a better quality.
The flute sound is actually a sample of a potoo bird mating call.
Cable Vamp in Brazil we call them Urutau
Mother of the moon, also a name for it. It’s a deep night bird that for some is more like a specter, a ghost.... urutau. I’m not sure it’s a mating call only....
The creativity of this woman doesn't know limits... she's priceless.
Zelämyr Shiru Youve been marked with the shade of darkness
Is it all her or does she just have a talented team of composers, musicians, sound engineers, producers, video directors, concept artists, behind her, like some other artists.
She's all of the above.
You are correct.
Fernando G Costa pick on someone else. The wolf is watching the door
Was the video filmed on her home planet?
NoYourself Lol....lol. I agree, she's really otherworldly.
Yes.
In Iceland?
She's not from another planet, she's from Faerie. She's one of the Huldufólk.
You beat me to it lol
i dont need chill pills for anxiety anymore, theres bjork's voice and its free
I agree!
The flute at the beginning is so, ugh, I dont know how to explain. Like all the feelings every Björk body of work gives to you.
Björk's music and concept is amazing and all that good stuff, but let's not forget to give a shout out to the producers, cinematographers, choreographers, animators, and overall artists that all helped put this spectacle together.
Josh Roberts she always works with great directors to produce music videos, she has previously worked with Spike Jonze and Micheal Gondry ..
Josh Roberts Exactly.
True -- and that's exactly what she did! When you click the "Show More" button under the initial credits, she identifies in detail the many artists who made this spectacular video possible.
Yesssss don't forget the roadies!!
Arca!
my wig flew to another dimension
she transcended
LOL
Mine created another universe.
this is one of the most incredible, unbelievable things i've ever watched... i still dont know how to fully process this 🤯😢
0:33 i love how she clearly says "sanduíche", which means sandwich in portuguese. That's a direct message for her brazilian fans, such as other portuguese speaking countries! love you so much björk
🥪Great for picnic!!
I think that's just her famous gibberish 😭
@@lcs-1 yeah it definitely is, i was just joking around cause it sounds exact like “sanduíche” 🤣
vei KKKKKKKKKK
Björk saying sanduíche is my new religion
In the year 3020 people may think that this is a "Classics"
in the year 3020 people will communicate with music
@@Ailton16 lol...who knows. It's frightening to think about.
So proud of our space mom
that is one worthy title
Mother space dv'a un khol ra ●
The use of near-full-silence at times makes the entire audio-space feel huge and immersive, idk how to describe, it's very clever
This is Björk's final form and it's beautiful
I love her use of silence, so masterful
yes
Her training in contemporary classical music, especially minimalism, as well as her exposure to eclectic forms of music, explains her very masterful use of silences.
Love the silence in All of Her Songs Deep Thoughts Of Just Being A Fragile Human Exists Beautifully!
what is that special in the use of silences? This ist just no sound.... what makes so masterfull don't doing anything?
there´s still rythm,you just cant hear it
Why do i feel like she is revealing mysteries of the universe with this?
cuz she is
Because alll these comments are so pretentious. She’s just making music, nothing more, nothing less.
Because she realized before you did.
Because she is.
Not sure if she portrays what I think of it, but the thing I know is certainly applicable here.
If you have a fight with someone, you continually steal energy from each other.
If you have a good conversation with someone, you continuously give each other energy, which she also shows here.
she's pretty much just saying that love is a good thing
i mean, that seems to be a mystery in the eyes of a couple too many people, so you're right in a way
Bjork is littoral the artist that made me fall in love with art and want to become a full artist like her since as far as I can remember, I've known her music since I was born and it's always one of the most moving artistic experience I could ever imagine
My healed chest wound
Transformed into a gate
Where I receive love from
Where I give love from
And I care for you, care for you
I care for you, care for you
Care for you, care for you
I care for you, care for you
Split into many parts
Splattered light beams into prisms
That will reunite
If you care for me, care for me
If you care for me, care for me
Care for me, care for me
And then I'll care for you, care for you
I care for you, care for you
I care for you, care for you
Care for you, care for you
Didn't used to be so needy
Just more broken than normal
Proud…
Who else loves the way she says "parts"?
Lily parrrrrrrts ♡♡
Lily ikr
MYSELF IT IS VERY EUROPEAN AND CREATIVE AND STYLISH!
Everybody loves the way she says parts
Almost sounds like some sort of insect
This is visually stunning.
And it's so beautiful to hear Björk say that her wound, which she had when she was heartbroken (and expressed on Vulnicura) has healed into a gate of love. I've been through heartbreak and want to move on in life with that attitude as well.
Those vocal harmonies at 5:08 are beautiful.
This is quite possibly the most incredible music video that i've ever seen!
Bjork is a true genius and Arca's production complement her greatly. Well done
Björks heart generates a strong magnetic field of love. What a nice explanation of love.
I don't understand how anybody could not be absolutely in love with Bjoerk
ça fait 33 ans que je vous écoute .toujours les memes émotions dans mon coeur avec vous.cest merveilleux .
WHAT an experience. Next level fifth dimensional. Bjork has always been awake
This is what she's been trying to say since Vespertine. This is what she heard in her head. In full display.
@rektnarok say what one more time.. 😄
1:04 love those SOUNDS ARE SO MAGICAL
People: The body is round
Björk: My silhouette is oval
I loved the frog noises in the first minute. It reminds me of summertime nights in my childhood when I use to sleep at my grandparent's house.
All of it are bird noises from the Venezuelan jungle. Even what sounds like erratic flute-blowing.
we are blessed to have her in our lifetime.
cuzhero but do u have yourSelf
Woah
Yeah considering that psycho stalker Ricardo manboobs Lopez wanted to kill her in 96!
I like how it’s like she is passing love back and forth to the creature across from her
split in so maaaany parrrrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRtsssssssssssss
I'm so happy to be on this dimensional membrane where Björk exists.
Davis Hack's That might be the greatest UA-cam comment I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading! Kudos, sir! 😄👍
And of course, I couldn’t agree more! 🎵🎶
This is the first time I've ever seen someone other than me reference m-theory outside the context of scientific documentaries. :D
Are you referring to split creation perhaps?
a membrane is a condom?
Probably the best video I've seen this year
she says million times "i care for you" which thats what i need.i love her..
Self union of your masculine and feminine 💜
And then possibly after that, energetic/physical union of soul mate 💞
that unconditional, neverending, eternal, perpetual love. death without death, love not as we know it.
As Man progresses in ugliness and terror, Bjork moves deeper in beauty, love and continually discovering the joy of her self and expression. How pleasing for my soul to watch this video.
Greg Cobb 🙌🏽 well said.
I love this
My cat apparently enjoys this song. Before she was running around the entire house and meowing and after the song she is curled up next to me watching the screen.
jasmine miller 😂😂😂 amazing... your cat has good taste.
jasmine miller your cat recognizes and receives absolute love
All 3 of my cats are perched next to me too 😻😻😻
Thats so funny my brother said he thinks Bjork is a cat person.
Your cat has better musical taste than my neighbors
I listened to Terence McKenna for 4 hours at work today and then I come home and get to experience this.. These are exciting times indeed when the work that these visionaries have done and are still doing is able to be consumed so readily. If only the majority of people could still themselves long enough and let go of enough ego to allow their perception to shift so that they 'get it' , the 'real world' would be a far less frustrating place to come back to each day..
I’m pretty sure she is actually from a whole different dimension and is hinting to us what the other universes are like...don’t be too close minded.....
I care for you. You care for me. With that unmistakable Icelandic accent (and these deliciously rolled "r"s). Shivers down my spine.
lelabotoxique an when she say "many parrrtss"
The Icelandic Accent is indeed very attractive.
Gives me always a pretty rush down my spine :)
So on point. Her tongue flutters.
lelabotoxique
No one trills R's like the Icelandanders do.
Venus as a girl.
Paul Rad venus as björk
Girl as Björk.
Björk as venus
Happy birthday the one Bjork and only. 'Play dead' was the one to scratch the surface, then 'I've seen it all' and 'Joga' were introduced to me. That's when you changed my mind about many things. Love. ....only if!
I’m literally crying from how beautiful this is.
What a magnificent immersiveness, audio and video wise. Björk is truly a genious. Huge kudos to everyone who was involved in this!
couldn't agree more! got the trippy feeling by just watching the video without any substances haha!
Björk the visual goddess 🐣
Duh! I've heard all her albums from debut to post to vespertine to biophilia to vulnicura.
gtfoh. Bjork can out sing and outplay the best of them!
Adina Miele If you don't like her singing, doesn't mean everyone doesn't. Her singing and voice are very unique and a lot of people like it.
she IS a musician and has gained much respect around the world. how dare you leave this comment on her video....
Adina Miele Again, just because you don't like her singing, doesn't mean others don't as well. Stop forcing your opinion down our throats. No one told you to like björk or her singing.
by far one of the most beautiful videos from bjork. its just 2021 but it feels like 3021. sh's a time traveller. or just a human being in a human form.
This is really a magical experience. Seeing this song being performed on the cornucopia tour was breathtaking!😍😍
does this lady ever age?!?!? like god damn
She does. Her music won't.
She is already inmortal.
Hroswith van Wikala I
She does age
ColoBeans
You don't see the smile lines? Of course she has aged. What a dumbass question.
This is my second Björk video and I'm very intrigued by this woman
Shαun Pughshιpp
Yes, well... She's not for everyone maybe you should take a look on her firsts songs, they are more "poppy" and easy to get
Shαun Pughshιpp II
stop evethang you doing rn and go watch all videos of her.YOU will be NOT disapointed and will come back to say how grattefull u are. :-)
Bjork is one of the evangelion Angels
That was a spiritual experience.
When she sings for the first time the following verse: 'Where I give love from'...my whole being is filled with joy. Only your voice does this to me, Björk. Your albums are assets to music made by mankind.
new 'utopia' 2017 music video !! 'the gate' visually stunning , the lady of the flute is a musicologist , pure music + sound = björk . goosebumps !!
Beautiful.. the Art of Creation. The unconditional love for creation.
The big bang according to Björk
Bjork's music saves lifes! The beauty of the world is in her voice
I read this in Cartman's voice hahahahha
Cartman E it also caused a man to kill himself :(
verily. lol
OMG. I love those caleidiscope effects. The clip is like a fairytale into space😍
Michael Almir Wow! Thanks, man👍
Bjork is one of those rare artists whose work is without time. It is without decade, era or style, it simply IS.
björk tell me ; where you come? cuz' I can't believe someone so wonderful is a simple human being..... your art is like from other world , time , dimention , the same existence. .. your art go beyond the things we can see . You steal all my senses ... I admire you
.....
Iceland
SPLIT INTO MANY PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTSSSSS , And PRISMS !
Ronald Elston 😂😂😂 perfect
Are you a mathematician??? I was talking about multivariable calculus with my sister and saw this video
3:07
É bem assim! Rsrsrs
this is russian acсent?
Describe love visually.
Björk: hold my beer.
This is amazing
"hold my beer".... awesome, LOL! Thanks for the laugh and i agree completely.
@@jimlanpheer5281 k
Lol! Exactly
ahahahaha
true
Holy frick Bjok is in a whole new dimension,
Best Final Fantasy trailer I've ever seen!
Björk’s music isn’t exactly my cup of tea but this music video is very beautiful and interesting to looks at! I’ve never seen or heard anything like this before. Props to her and all the artists, dancers, producers and all the people who worked on this
andrew thomas huang , check all of his stuff out its just as amazing
@Ramiro Garcia how?
@Ramiro Garcia she gave props to her though?
@Ramiro Garcia she gave props to the whole team, because yes even though she had the original idea for this, it was worked on by a whole team of people.. sais it right even in the album credits
@Ramiro Garcia It literally says, word by word, “Props to HER and all the artists, dancers...” and so on. How did she not give props to Björk? Plus, don’t you think everyone else involved deserves any credit? You’re the disrespectful one.
I really felt something in my heart chakra
oh def me too
opened and healed
deepened and soothed
This exchange of energy through their Anahata Chakra is mind-blowing
Love, like a multidimensional object, dancing betwin and inside. The gate is all.
I love my alien mom
4:39....this hit me in my heart. I felt a tear running down face. "Didn't use to be so needy, just more broken than normal."
awseome!!
The visuals hold the golden ratio! That’s why it’s so satisfying!
It's really nice to see true artists with unique styles
i am so deeply grateful for a truly fertile and magical journey w andrew thomas huang : oh what we have learned and enjoyed in : mutual core , black lake , stonemilker , family , the gate and thousands of them drafts and brainstorms ! we and james merry are truly a trio ! i made this music with the wonderful arca , soulwarmth & gratitudes !! birchness .
we love you more than words can express.
when you wrote truly fertile i read tiny turtle
thank you so much for this more than a year later this deepens with each listen xoxox
Björk I Love You with All my Heart and soul and more then words can ever describe 😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ XxoxX ❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️
eternal thanks for your music, Björk!
Transcendental music, as often with Björk. After all these years, she's still releasing masterpieces and significant pieces of music, her accomplishments are incredible. And shout out to Andrew Thomas Huang for this awesome video, he's a visionnary and very talented director !
Everything this woman does punches me right in the soul, gives it a kiss and a cookie, and tucks it into bed for a nap filled with the sweetest dreams.
Okay, something just happened to me... I'm not sure what exactly, but something definitely happened.
xD
Ezra Gilgeours yeah man, I've seen those patterns and shapes when I used to get high and meditate. Also those weird missingno° looking things from Pokemon that look like eye floaties are intense.
Ezra Gilgeours no doubt, I started experiencing strange phenomenon, seeing auras around people long after I haven't meditated for days, communicating with beings, OBEs, I was like, "NOPE NOPE NOOOOOOOPE" and cut that out lol. Afterwards I begin studying the bible again and it all just went away immediately. Still though the lyrics to this song are beautiful, I can relate to them.
Björk happened to you.
xcaluhbration i saw those paterns in a video on youtub about tenth or eleven dimension
Bjork you are a very special human being, in my eyes you are the most genius creative artist of all time... I bow to your greatness
love how she is chilling with the pokémons
Today, November 18, 2021, what Utopia is more needed than "care for you, care for me"?
