  • this live version is even better then the original.

  • You can't even compare Björk to Lady GaGa. Björk is in a league of her own, and cannot be touched.

  • beautiful song she's amazing

  • What a wonderful voice... what an amazing live ! Damn...

  • I think I like this version better than the cd version of the track.

  • my favorite artist she is an angel

  • I like Bjork way more than Lady Gaga, but... some of you guys seem to have special snowflake syndrome.

  • is she using an ebow on a harp? amazing...

  • Holly - fucking - shit!! A communial transe. It would last an hour and I'd still feel the same. Wow!!

  • Björk is heavenly.

  • It should have been on Vespertine instead of HEIRLOOM

  • .....what i would give to have been there!!!! That shit was out of this universe

  • pourquoi est ce que tout le monde parle de lady gaga? c'est une chanson de Bjork, fantastique qui plus est.

  • It really sounds better live, mainly because of the clappings

  • Above and beyond all and everything that's amazing about Bjork - a nerdy detail I love: Background projections i.t. performance are the early 1900's "Artforms in Nature" by Ernst Haeckel - bloke who coined the term "ecology".

  • everybody is obviously having a great time ..it's DIVINE !

  • Love this song & performance. Classic ♥

  • She has so much fun i am intoxicated with joy just watching her!!! in the Vortex or what!?!?!?!

  • @Dengee incredible, ey? that's why I'm listening/watching, plugs me right into source. : )

  • how can people even consider comparing bjork to lady blabla! bjork is an amazing musician and singer who puts every ounce of wot she's got into her music, live or in the studio, lady shite on the other hand is one big rip off late 80's madonna impression that's getting old pretty quickly. every thing she says seem's so fake it's actually funny listen to her yap on about her life, she spends most of her live shows on her fake ass cuz she's always falling over her shoes or a fucking piano... twat

  • She is amazing there is no other artist, her voice is extraordinary. I could listen to it all day. Nobody beats the creation of such original music. Greetings to all fans of Bjork

  • The Mars Volta is right she is so inspiring.

  • performance is so sick

  • Бля, как можно сравнивать Бьорк и какую то гагу? !

  • 4:06

    Holy. Celine Dion would break her jaw.

  • la amooo!!!!!

  • Wow, I finally get to see an E-Bow in Action. Cool...

    An amazing song and an amazing performance.

  • It's In Our Hands - Iceland

  • She's so cute :3

  • Harp lady is jammin out XD

  • so much power, so much love... regard the harp and zeena parkins, of course... OMG

    best artist ever: it's björk, definately

  • This woman can do no wrong.

  • astonishing

  • I absolutely love this video. Not just because it's a wonderful performance by a spectacular cast of musicians, but also because it's they all look so joyful and happy doing it.

  • Haha she's using an e-bow on her harp!

  • lol.. i throught that she's max. 30 years old.

    she's soo cute

  • @Darkzakrza Haha 35/36 when this was released. Though she looked in her 20's. Good genes?

  • @PattiJaneBaker this is my anti-lady gaga sentiment, never again please

  • @PattiJaneBaker This is beautiful. Lady Gaga stuff isn't beautiful. It is annoying.

  • @PattiJaneBaker Lady gaga and bjork may be similar in some ways. but in the music they are verry diferent. Bjork, in my opinion, has more artistic talent in music and art that lady gaga who wore a meat dress to the vma's to show an extremley weak conection to the military's dont ask dont tell policy.

  • @petthehomeless Gaga is a shallow husk that has nothing but meaningless gimmicks. Bjork on the other hand, is acually talented.

  • @petthehomeless - and a ripoff of Mark Ryden's work. ; )

  • @CouganSmith agreed

  • @PattiJaneBaker No thanks. I'm not watching some high stripper on stage.

  • @PattiJaneBaker please have a cup of STFU and GTFO

  • @PattiJaneBaker watch Lady Gaga? Wow. Just wow.

  • @PattiJaneBaker are you fucking crazy!!!

  • I can't get enough of her music. Wish there was a new album a day

  • Amazing. I love her.

  • Bjork is awesome and i love her

  • what the hell is this...she screams its in our hands the whole time and goes around like a goof...even though i cant stop watching this what is that???

  • @Soleeternity Shes in the vortex, thats why.

  • she is fabulous, i love this concert, so much energy!

  • She is such a genius, so amazing.

    I really have to see her perform live somewhere.

  • Marvellous!

  • Is this performance on DVD or anything?

  • @darnallt This is definatley on DVD yes.

  • @darnallt Yes it is.

  • she is a goddess

  • this is just amazing. she is. ..

  • bjork + Avant garde!!!!! What an awesome musician!!!!!

  • I love this, in part, because everyone looks like they're having so much fun. Amazing performance.

  • Gigi Masin original song is 'Clouds' from 1989 album is the sound behind this Bjork's tune.... he has to be happy, his music is everywhere!

  • I love Bjork... beautiful song and wonderful lyrics...

  • This performance is incredible, it has so much strenght! It's very sad to see how many people can't go beyond words and reach its true message. But well, it seems that everyone believes that you need tons of words and complex expressions to make a good song.

  • まじでカッコイイ!!!!すげー。

  • thanks for upload this concert, :)

  • Her music is really dark and not to offend anyone, but I think it was really dumb she said the same words about a million times... Just out of curiosity and again not to offend anyone but would u guys mind telling how old those of u who like her are?

  • im 18 and ive like Bjork since i was about 12

  • "her music is really dumb" coming from the person with Paramore in their username that's rich. I suggest you look up I've Seen It All and tell me how dumb those lyrics are. Or pretty much any song from Medulla (I'll laugh if you come back with Sonnets/Unrealities xd) Btw I'm 17 and hyper critical about the music I like

  • 30 years old.

  • funny ! I love Paramore too! I love Bjork too! Wow.I'm gonna get flamed saying that.I can feel people typing,"Oh Paramore is shit! ,Don't even type the word 'p.a.r.a.m.o.r.e' here,they suckass,It's insulting to Bjork to have paramore mentioned here." Sorry guys,I'm 17 about to turn 18 but I love my music generation plus the older ones too" And Bjork for the 90's and so on if I have to pick.

  • @asyarihahaha thats goofy paramore is awesome too just not on the same levelas Bjork, she's in a league of her own.

  • who is "They?" Does "they" include anybody that sings?

  • @sparkncarl ..but i mean do u think that music tast amoung people should be uniform...ok u dont like bjork, plenty of people dont get it...bt ur just displaying your closed mind and ignorance

  • So I suppose if I recorded a plumber beating on some pipes, then screaming when he hit his finger, then called it music you'd like it because you're not ignorant and have an open mind? It sounds like you're an idiot to me.

  • @sparkncarl actually no. What you described above is not creative and does not have an interesting arrangement, therefore it would be crap. I base my judgements on the overall sound and the complexity of the arrangement and creativity of it as well. I'm not sure you realize what goes into her music or the mass of different parts. Also what would you have to say about her awards from cannes and honor of being featured at MoMA? I honestly love Bjorks music and your childish comments are drivel.

  • Just remember that your opinion and taste are not important for other people. Thank you.

  • well... this is an old dilema, it's like when people don't like abstract art, because it seems too simple to do, it makes no sense and it's not even pretty. believe me you'll probably never get it, it's not the words, it's not the sounds, it's not the claps. it's a feeling.

  • are you being serious right now? you just have to listen to it a couple of times, this song is adorable!

  • You have no idea how ignorant that comment is. Personally I love Bjork. Her voice is odd but it has an odd strength and power. I also love her dynamics, lyrics, and the music she arranges in the backround. FYI she's won prestigious awards at the Cannes for her songwriting and acting and also has several music videos on permanent display at MoMA. Were all those panels "pretending to like it to be different?" I suggest you kindly stfu.

  • you can't claim that someone is ignorant becuase they have a different taste in music. That ironically is an ignorant statement. Furthermore just becuase someone has won a lot of awards has no bearing on how "good" the indvidual is. It's all subjective. I'd put good money on a lot of art that has critical acclaim and you dont get. Doesnt mean you're an idiot or closed minded, doesn't mean anything.

  • Comment removed

  • 2:22 = E-BOW!!! ^^

  • This song gives strength, so much. it's so positive!

  • i love her on live! better than CD! feel emotion and crash voice xxxx

  • Ozzy who??

    Zeena's a fuckin' rockstar!

    why björk always runs away in the end? :(

    BEAUTIFUL!

  • Björk got it !!! I am sure she is booked to perform in heaven someday, if heaven exist ...but how can it be better than this???

  • @birlisa1 Well im sure angels sound like bjork :P

  • @birlisa1 the One who created her is able to create things more beautiful than what we can witness in this world.

  • @birlisa1 Bjork is the angel of music.

  • I do love this song...

    I was listening it everyday, when my dad was dying...

    Such a power in it...

    I do love orchestral instruments...

    THANK U beautifull great woman for this jewell ***

  • i love her

  • A great way to end the gig. This whole dvd is fantastic

  • Bjork yums

  • this performance strikes a good balance between organic and edgy..feel the raw human energy when they clap! awesome!

  • fucking powerful

  • Cohen, where are you? I'm trying to find you. Marie

  • love this performance.. love her voice.. love her.. SHE IS A FUCKIN´ WEIRDO and I adore it..

  • crazy

  • hát ez egyszerűen zseniális....

  • I've got today the DVD, ppl buy it. Such amazing concert ..!

  • oh my........this live version of the song is absolutely, utterly, wonderfully alive and energetic and ecstatic and

    FANTASTIC!

  • It gets to the point where i can't listen to it. This song is too much to start with, but then with the orchestra and the choir....... bliss. I feel guilty about listening to it by myself, almost as if it is something that should be shared, by everybody. Love the dress too.

  • Does anyone remember a drum and bass mix of this song? I've been trying to find it for months ... it was lush, energetic, and gorgeous ... this swooping bass, giving my subs a good workout! Help!

  • there are two official mixes...Arcade mix...and Soft Pink Truth.

  • @undrgrndwmn That one is my favourite! It's the demo or promo version of the song, message me and I'd be more than glad to send it to you. :)

  • theres such a positive mood in the orchestra... i love how they are so into the music

  • The Best Song

  • It's something about this song that just gets me floating...

  • wtf is that a harp with a tremelo bar? lol

  • geat song!

    What Effect use in the arp?

    someone know?

  • probaly a lot of delay effect and it sounds like a light distortion at some times. I think it has some octave changing effects too, the beginning sounds very low. I also think it is pluged into an synth but I'm not sure

  • thank you ;D!

  • A wonderful performance, so full of energy and zest. They're having a blast! I still prefer this version to the album one. I LOVE what Zeena Parkins does with the harp. What originality!

  • Comment removed

  • an awesome performance at its best. . . .

  • I want to hug her and never let her go.

    No one knows how she influenced me <3

  • lol she is one the strangest but cutest creatures on earth.

  • geil !!!!!!!!

  • Now that is a performance.

  • truly unique!

  • ohmygoodness, the concert vocalist of a lifetime!

  • SHe is simply amazing!

  • I love this woman,beautiful Anomaly!!!!!!!

  • I love this woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • simply beautiful amazing astonishing. Bjoerk is probably one of the most interesting personalities of the last 20 years

  • A sensual, spiritual, harmonious, witty, and damned delicious ... performance. Monk is said to have said that a "genius is someone most like himself (sic)." Bjork is just that genius. thnx for posting this video!

  • I really think this is björk's best song ever.. I've got the whole show on dvd and it really takes you into another world..

  • She is simply amazing. I adore her and I would LOVE to see her live. I hope she comes back to the USA, specifically somewhere in Ohio. :)

  • It's in our hands!

  • It's probably the best critique on Bjork that to see and hear her perform always provokes a visceral reaction, be it good or bad. I think the greatest compliment you can pay an artist, is that their work has an actual effect. For me, the innovation of Radiohead, the purity of Sigur Ros and the voice of say; Kate Bush. These elements are collectively surpassed through Bjork. Simply the most honest and creative artist of our generation and in my opinion, that makes her the greatest.

  • i so totally agree with you. and your comments about Radiohead , Sigur Ros and Kate Bush who also was ahead of her time like 30 years ahead....

  • i'm with fafo58, because im totally with you - i'm coming to fully realise when i see all vids from this live @ royal opera house

  • I'm glad we've reached a conclusion... and I must say, what an erudite bunch we all are!

  • Thanks for your concurrence!! I just wish that between us, we could construct a sentence that is satisfying... so that everytime I see this video, I don't feel like I need to try and explain to other people how amazing she is... get your thinking cap on!

  • Beautiful girl, beautiful voice... what else could you ask for?

  • you know someone is a badass when they have a whammy bar on their harp, as well as using an ebow. fuck yeah!

  • I love her voice! She's an amazing artist!

  • One of the best live performance I've ever seen - wow!!!

  • fuck! this is so amazing and beautiful. this made my fuckin day!!! i love this woman.I loved how the whole band was there enjoying(:

  • the most beatiful women in the world!

  • I totally agree, shes so beautiful in this video!

  • Como pode??

    Te amo, mulher.

  • iceland was a danish dependency but that changed when the act of union was signed in 1918, iceland was recognized as a fully sovereign state under the danish king. ...politcally it belongs to scandinavia i guess...but geographically? i doubt that...on the other hand nordics were settling the island in the first place...

    anyhow does it really matter which country you are from ???

  • i love how the band and the dj are just jiving with it!

  • i swear she's from outter space.

    (take me with you!!)

    :o)

  • Your right i guess i just got carried away, im sorry

    i just love bjork :)

    Very sorry :(

  • no worries - - i understand loving bjork

    feel free to thumbs down my comment

  • Daflysky5 probably just misunderstood the line 'I thought I could organize freedom; how Scandinavian of me.' from Hunter. You on the other hand misunderstood English language misusing "your" and writing "retarted." Think before you comment.

  • Of course she is Scandinavian. Scandinavia consists of Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Iceland.

  • i love her she is so scandinavian and pagan and so fairy-like pllus of course her music

  • wonder what is the choir singing, does anybody know?

  • Just look no further!!! :-)

  • SHe is simply amazing!

  • Adoro-a.

    Ela e surreal.

    Amo-a

  • sHE'S nOT aNOTHER f*CKIN' sINGLE hUMAN bEEN lIKE uS...

    sHE'S tHE rEAL G.O.D.D.E.S.S.!!

  • i think its all fair to give her the respect needed because she is very original an talented let alone beutifull. but goddess....... sorryy aint feeling it. and dont get me wrong i like her music alot, but i aint going to fall to my knees if i come across bjork one day.

  • i am...

  • look close fatherrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

  • I think it's "look no further"

  • hahaha

  • She is absolutely amazing live! Wow, thank you for uploading! The shots were also very good.

  • Elle est interessante et elegante.
