so many people have said her music is alien or otherworldly, yet this is the most human thing I've ever witnessed. I felt a rainbow of emotions and experiences
I feel all of her music expresses all kinds of things about being human at a primal level, then everyone calls her alien and I just think they’re missing the point completely.
We are alienated from ourselves from all the time we have spent trying to fool ourselves. To run from our responsibilities and the consequences of our actions as a species.
I think we all agree that the end of this song is fucking magical, breathtaking, trascendental. Those chords, and strings and her voice; the atmosphere it generates is so lovely, sad, nostalgic but encouraging at the same time. It makes me feel things that i never felt before, Björk is just magical; a mistic of sound and emotions from another dimension.
I cry every time. Literally the only artist in this world to bring me to tears. I discovered her while serving in the US Navy on deployment. Bjork is very special to me. Her music has gotten me through so much. This album.......I truly felt the pain.
If Vulnicura has a centerpiece, or heart rather, then this is definitely it. The beginning is a shroud of sorrow and darkness, a whisping black veil of despair and grief. But as it progresses, the clouds slowly part and the beam of hope and healing come to evaporate the flood of pain. This is true genius, and I don't know how Björk had the composure and strength to document these feelings so purely and intensely.
@@n0kturna1 I think the album is perfect as it is. Black Lake and Family is clearly the darkest center, Notget has some new energy and the last three tracks move a bit elsewhere (especially the great claustrophobic Mouth Mantra which is about her vocal chords surgery) but Quicksand goes back to the heavy family topic, but as the first upbeat track it is like a new beginning as well. I dunno, it really all makes beautiful sense to me after some time. Top 3 Björk album.
everything starts to shine when love comes at 4:00 Is the moment of cure. Sometimes love seems to be the cause of all pain and devastation , but in fact it is the remedy We need to raise these monuments during our life to move on
first track i listened to after the news of my friend's suicide... always thought this was a devastating piece of music, and it hits even harder now. really beautiful, and eloquent in its expression of grief.
It's unbelievable how final part of this song gives me shivers every time i hear it. It's almost like a transportation to another dimension, a flutuation, a levitation.! I have to confess tears flood my eyes.
Yeah I have no idea what it is (I mean, I know it's the production), but it's like... pure elation. The Haxan Cloak pummelling that comes before it is so dark and dismal, but then the ending comes and it's as if it's all over; whether that be the fighting, or the will to continue. It's ascendency. Bjork, and all of those she brings on board to work with her, = pure brilliance
i think it is the first dark depressive half that lets the second one truly shine. the track wouldnt work without it at all. it is like light after long night. in my opinion one of the best tracks ever written in history of music, if not the best one
Idk why the beginning violin sound gives me the image of like rotting or decomposing then the harsh drum sound gives me like a visual of someone digging up a grave. Then the somberness of it all kicks in. Then towards the middle it like the spirit of whatever is being dug into a grave is outraged by the whole thing but by the end it becomes at peace with the situation and ascension happens and there is hope.
I think the reason why Bjork's music comes as "weird" is because it's pure, in the sense that is no seekeing to adapt to any style or kind of music, it might not even atempt to be "likeable"or pleasing to the ear, but express feeling just like they are, in the most raw possible way.
If I listen to Body Memory I literally clear my chest coughing by the end and feel like I just woke up from a nap this woman is re-teaching us the ancient world
Is there a place Where I can pay respects For the death of my family? Show some respect Between the three of us There is the mother and the child Then there is the father and the child But no man and a woman No triangle of love So, where do I go To make an offering? I fall on my knees Lay my flowers (Burn incense) Light the candles So, where do I go To make an offering? To mourn our miraculous triangle? Father, mother, child Father, mother, child How will I sing us Out of this sorrow? Build a safe bridge For the child out of this danger I raise a monument of love There is a swarm of sound Around our heads And we can hear it And we can get healed by it It will relieve us from the pain It will make us a part of This universe of solutions This place of solutions This location of solutions
This must be one of the most difficult songs to listen to. Not because of its structure or sound, but because it's so emotionally heavy. I can feel physical pressure in my chest and a stinging feeling in my eye whenever I listen to this track, it's almost as if Björk literally put her heart into it. I can't even imagine how hard it must have been to sing this song night after night on tour, I have massive respect for her and her wonderful art. ❤️
I wish I could tell Bjork how much she means to me. How she has brought me healing, love, and all that is beautiful in this plane of existence. Right now she is saving my life.
"so where do i go to make an offering ...."..Bjork i hope you are thru this painful time.... and have good people holding you who you can call "family"
+Fernando Salinas Technically, it's true. Artists of all kinds tend to put their suffering in their art, such as Bjork's album Vulnicura. Consequently, people are pleased by the art created; thus, they benefit from the artist's suffering.
Vulnicura means "wound treatment". We don't benefit from her pain, we benefit from her striving for a way out. This is a record that helped her exorcise the suffering.
+Mack Cappel I resist a few seconds myself.. it's totally devastating, one of the most touching songs I've ever heard, that brutal beat simply shoves that melancholic melody (and lyrics) down your throat and to breath you can only cry..
+Mack Cappel Me too, Mark - it's very strange since I'm not typically prone to crying because of a song. At risk of sounding selfish, I think it's because I can't help but think of my mother. It's such a simple but intimate song, and gives a very visceral sense of the pain my mother must have felt.
Ti scrivo in italiano perchè penso sia la tua lingua madre. Sì, la canzone è parte di un percorso emozionale che ha messo a dura prova per prima Bjoerk stessa.
That explosive, tearing rumble in the first section is so arresting. It's definitely the sound of a heart being broken. And the microtonal strings are blood seeping out I guess! It's bloody powerful stuff, this. I definitely take note of this as far as composing emotionally honest, naked music is concerned. I tried arranging this for piano - I don't think it even captures a tenth of the real thing though!

My husband of 16 years and the father of my children passed away a week ago. Bjork was his favorite. I know she wrote this about divorce, but it is touching me so deeply right now.
I love this song. The music. The drone part . The strange hunting voice vibe repeat again and again. one of my dream is reissue off all album of bjork . Instrumental version.
Can someone tech-y please make an instrumental version of this????? I love bjorks voice but the strings at the end send shivers down my neck and spine.
nah this track was produced by the haxan cloak, the rest of the album was produced by arca, don't worry I have smashed arcas discography for last few years, saw him at st johns about 18 months ago, absolutely insane :)
Yeah this sounds more like The Haxan Cloak... maybe Arca got inspirated in the process of this song and then he made ''Family Violence''... remember Xen is from 2014 but Vulnicura has been worked a lot of time before.
La canción es perfecta, suena increíble y te hace sentir lo que ningún otra, dura lo que tiene que durar, no pudo haberla concebido de otra forma...simple y hermosamente perfecta, me facina. Bjork nunca dejes de hacer tan majestuosas obras musicales por favor.
This song breaks my heart 💔 because I see Bjork as a human being and not just an eccentric, cosmopolitan artist... who's untouchable. She was hurt and it came through her work. Beautiful song lyrics and that 🎻 oh my. Killing it.
Ésta canción es una joya. Refleja mi estado de animo al 100%. Bjork se merece todo en este mundo y más por transmitir felicidad/tristeza/esperanza en una sola canción
This song is heavier than any metal song I’ve ever heard. It is haunting. I am currently going through a difficult break up myself. This is one of the most moving pieces of music I have ever heard, it had me sobbing out loud.
I LOVE this song, just before that I listened to one of the songs on her first album (Björk, the one she released at the age 11, not Debut), the only one written by her, and there is a LITTLE difference. okay. Huge. I'm wondering what would the young, 11 years old Björk say if someone showed her this song and said: you made (will make... :D) this music!
so many people have said her music is alien or otherworldly, yet this is the most human thing I've ever witnessed. I felt a rainbow of emotions and experiences
This! I feel the exact same way. When i listen to her music all my basic human emotions and instincts reorganize and get validated
Me too.
I feel all of her music expresses all kinds of things about being human at a primal level, then everyone calls her alien and I just think they’re missing the point completely.
completely agree!
We are alienated from ourselves from all the time we have spent trying to fool ourselves. To run from our responsibilities and the consequences of our actions as a species.

its so rooted on this planet! Makes it so good! Why do humans deny this?
This is ger best song since Homogenic era. That's all
Björk is the reason I'm not afraid of pain. She made me feel strong in ways I didn't even ask for.
You couldn’t have said it better

This should have closed the album, it is actually its heart and it points the way out of pain

The music of this track is the soundtrack version of Jack fighting depression, suicide, & ptsd.
@@belladonna1032 who’s jack
THE TITLE CHARACTER OF SAMURAI JACK!
This album came out when I was going through my divorce. Its special to me.
"I raise a monument of love..." Such a beautiful lyric and moment in a very ethereal track! So beautiful!
Next to Undo, and All Is Full Of Love (the album version), this is one of the most beautiful and otherworldly songs she's ever written.
Wow, exactly. Those are also my top björk 3 songs!

I have to confess tears flood my eyes.
true... it is transcending!
Totally agree. It's always so magic.
Happens every time with me

agreed.the last one and a half minute of the song is otherworldly,absolutely magnificent
*dissolves into song*
The ending feels like there are hundreds of butterflies in your upper chest. Like a wound being sown.
i cannot put into words how beautiful this track gets from the fourth minute.
+Shinrin Yoku But do you think the first three minutes take away from that beauty?
Personally, i cannot bear their depressive nature.
+BusaBloke can I just quote this whole comment conversation?
i think it is the first dark depressive half that lets the second one truly shine. the track wouldnt work without it at all. it is like light after long night. in my opinion one of the best tracks ever written in history of music, if not the best one

what a sad album yet beautiful.
Especially the ending outro it's almost as if she's received clarity.
If I listen to Body Memory I literally clear my chest coughing by the end and feel like I just woke up from a nap this woman is re-teaching us the ancient world
Is there a place
Where I can pay respects
For the death of my family?
Show some respect
Between the three of us
There is the mother and the child
Then there is the father and the child
But no man and a woman
No triangle of love
So, where do I go
To make an offering?
I fall on my knees
Lay my flowers (Burn incense)
Light the candles
So, where do I go
To make an offering?
To mourn our miraculous triangle?
Father, mother, child
Father, mother, child
How will I sing us
Out of this sorrow?
Build a safe bridge
For the child out of this danger
I raise a monument of love
There is a swarm of sound
Around our heads
And we can hear it
And we can get healed by it
It will relieve us from the pain
It will make us a part of
This universe of solutions
This place of solutions

@6urned the fact that no one asked for your comment!! 😂😂😂
@ʐ i'm sure in our heads, we did

I love the progression of the emotion from pain, to acceptance and understanding, and finally to healing
I wish I could tell Bjork how much she means to me. How she has brought me healing, love, and all that is beautiful in this plane of existence. Right now she is saving my life.
Absolutely
I could tell this was produced by the Haxan Cloak immediately. That massive rattling, rumbling bass is a dead giveaway.
likewise friend!
I thought it was produced by Arca
doesn’t it?
"so where do i go to make an offering ...."..Bjork i hope you are thru this painful time.... and have good people holding you who you can call "family"
This song is like an album in itself. I would love an extended 15 minute version- it's complex enough.
I think that this song is Vulnicura's masterpiece. So moving!
This, History of Touches, and Quicksand, for me. Fuck, I don't actually know. Theyre all great. But this song is a highlight for sure.
Dina Toigo one of bjork's best songs
Those last three minutes are heavenly, the song overall is brilliant in my opinion but it always tugs at my emotions (in a good way) when it’s ending.
this is without a doubt, my favorite song on the album
This is the song that always makes me cry on this album. But that ending though....just breathtakingly beautiful.
Beautiful... so often, when an artist suffers, the world benefits from the result.
dude, Woah
+Fernando Salinas Technically, it's true.
Artists of all kinds tend to put their suffering in their art, such as Bjork's album Vulnicura. Consequently, people are pleased by the art created; thus, they benefit from the artist's suffering.

Vulnicura means "wound treatment". We don't benefit from her pain, we benefit from her striving for a way out. This is a record that helped her exorcise the suffering.
Really?
Best Vulnicura track.
+Gábor Márián What about Stonemilker?
+Infinite Sky Yeah, Stonemilker is a new Björk-classic, but my personal fav is Family :)
Guys what about 'Notget' and 'Lionsong' wtf
I'm between atom dance and family...
I love equally this, Mouth Mantra and Stonemilker
She is truly one of a kind! I find myself slipping into tears every time I listen to this song❤️
+Mack Cappel I resist a few seconds myself.. it's totally devastating, one of the most touching songs I've ever heard, that brutal beat simply shoves that melancholic melody (and lyrics) down your throat and to breath you can only cry..

This Song and Björk herself appeared in a very delicate moment of my Life...
This song helped cure my pain clearing my heart from anger and sadness
Ti scrivo in italiano perchè penso sia la tua lingua madre. Sì, la canzone è parte di un percorso emozionale che ha messo a dura prova per prima Bjoerk stessa.
raw visceral emotive. this has become my favorite Bjork track of all time
This kinda puts every other composer to shame. Mindblowingly emotional.
That explosive, tearing rumble in the first section is so arresting. It's definitely the sound of a heart being broken. And the microtonal strings are blood seeping out I guess!
It's bloody powerful stuff, this. I definitely take note of this as far as composing emotionally honest, naked music is concerned.
I tried arranging this for piano - I don't think it even captures a tenth of the real thing though!
Possibly the best song by björk so far?
Every song on this album seems better than the last. It's truly incredible.
definitely one of her best songs in YEARS
along with Stonemilker (and I'd throw in the difficult but hella interesting Mouth Mantra as well)
I say that at the end of every song LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This song really describes five stages of grief in it, such a powerful song she have expressed
I want the instrumental at 4:00 onwards! It breaks my heart every time :(
an acoustic instrumental of the entire song is available on the vulnicura strings album!!!

Not even Lionsong?
"Stonemilker" is one of her best in my opinion
history of touches makes me guhhhhhhhhhhhh
the last part is the best

man that outro just hits different

ive only been able to listen to this song twice but its still one of my favorite songs
Mick- A man speaking from his heart! I'm in

I always prepare myself for this massive Haxan Cloak drum but i'm never ready
Been meaning to say this for the last two years, but always thought the last 30 or so seconds were a reference to All is full of love.

it's a blessing.
