Björk - Dark Matter @ Bestival 2011

[juanbjork]

Bjork has no bad albums. They are art in sound albums.

[baroque121]

Utter genius.  How privileged we are to have her in our lives . . .

[eri13cr]

@AtaGET Solstice

[stoocerzz]

No lyrics, it's stripped down to the sounds she uses to construct melodies before she writes the lyrics

[nonchalant176]

I don't understand what she is singing

is that Icelandic? please someone tell me!

[Gizmoenut]

@nonchalant176 It's gibberish ;) She stated somewhere that she didn't want any honest meaning behind the "words" of the Dark Matter song, because she wants it to reflect the mysterious and abstract feel of... well, dark matter. So the words don't hold any meaning, they're just made up, and she probably scripted the made-up words so that the choir could sing along too.

[Voltabulous]

@nonchalant176 no it's gibberish.

[icanseeuranus]

does this song have lyrics?

[Voltabulous]

@icanseeuranus no it's gibberish.

[Paperhouse81]

Her outfit is fucking fabulous!

[AtaGET]

When your eyes Pause on the ball That hangs on the third branch from a star, You remember why it got dark And why it is getting light again. The Earth (like the heart) leans back in it's seat And, like that, it travels along an orbit Drawn in the darkness. Unpolished pearl In sky-black Palm of hands Flickering sun-flame. You remember That you are yourself a light-bearer, Who receives her radiance from others

[cesiface]

2:12 de que estarán hablando las coristas?

[Venusasaboy1981]

I have to admit, this is the song in Biophilia I like the least...but this version is absolutely stunning! And I love the way she slaps her Ipad instead of just tapping it! XD

[lucasboden]

I predict in a couple years, people will rediscover Medulla and appreciate it more.

[lucasboden]

I am actually facinated by Dark Matter and grown to totally love this song. Is she singing the harmony asl well or is it some autotune type thing created within computer?

[salmonelas123]

I imagine Bjork with 50 yo and shitting on everyones faces with her voice.

[feedme54]

this "song" is so boringggggg.

[LlamaUnicornDiva45]

@feedme54 Your taste in art is probably boring too!

[feedme54]

@LlamaUnicornDiva45 this song is art???? remove the voice of bjork and all we have is a boring organ. listen dark matter and just after listen JOGA. which one is the best?

[LlamaUnicornDiva45]

@feedme54 I'm going to admit. My TASTE in art, is pretty good. My CREATION in art is pretty boring. Actually. The music I make is very similar to this. But, I'm just stating MY opinion. You have your own little thoughts, while I have mine. You cannot compare Joga and Dark Matter, they are both completely different songs. That's like comparing pie and cake.

[Gizmoenut]

@feedme54 Goodness. It just shows that it's her voice talent that makes the song, not the in-your-face beats most modern music demands nowadays.

[Gajahmatik]

@feedme54 This song is fascinating! Close your eyes and forget about the ticking beat in your head

[roberto2380]

love Bjork but.... hope i dont end up with another Medula in my collection... it's like stroking a cat backwards on the senses... :)

[feedme54]

@roberto2380  Biophilia deserves its place alongside the medulla and DR9. the most bad album of bjork. homogenic you still the best :)

[Gajahmatik]

@roberto2380 Medulla is a great album! I enjoyed 90% of it ; )

[roberto2380]

@Gajahmatik Vespertine is my favorit!! however, i had to buy it twice.. it cracked very easily, the first one fell out of its case and cracked :( the second one cracked inside my car stareo X( there must be a manufacturing flaw with the CD material.

[Helveticat03]

I love this song <3

[angelortiz69]

it's an ipad 1

[FortitudoProductions]

Is anyone else reminded of Shimenawa from Drawing Restraint 9?

[eulife]

she s teaching how to cook with an ipad

[ExtravertmE]

These outfits are awesome!

[100ewarren]

Delightful. She doesn't say which Touchpad she is using (or, is she using an actual HP Touchpad that she bought at Walmart for $99)?

[diegdiegdiegdieg]

@100ewarren ipad.

[spybou]

Glorious!!! Thank you!!!

[DesertHallucinations]

I'm really in love with this track! I think it'll be one of my favorites on the album. So powerful!!

[Ieoshua]

"hope you enjoy" sdzvnldvnlfñadmkjlñaslñdgk :3 i wanna eat her, so humble and lovely.

[Fueledbychapstick]

So glad to see a video of this; thank you!

Do you think that the visuals in the background may be a preview of the app? :O

Also, Björk just announced that the album was delayed because of some changes, including the use of a live track instead of the original. I know that Dark Matter (with Choir and Organ) was supposed to be a bonus track on the Digipak, but maybe she's decided that it'd be better as the regular album version?!

[GudmundsdottirBjork]

Björk - Biophilia - The Goddess Of Sparkle Is Back!

[flippert0]

Interesting visuals, a little bit like 'desired constellation' or 'nature is ancient'. Dark Matter is ominous (as it should be ;-) )

[Tributingsongs]

thank you very very much for recording and uploading!!! Thanks!!!!!

[dillon180]

The introduction is beyond adorable!! When I think I couldn't love her anymore <3

[neurosiana]
