[ballandchain25]

Raise Your Flag Higher!!

[MrBjorkFan]

This Is A Good Symbol To America

[visceralguy]

Declare Independence!  Don't let them do that to you!

[DelMonteOnSteroids]

@pipesrussell And all she's doing is telling you to be yourself. Nice.

[Grendel938]

@pipesrussell That's so inaccurate it's funny.

[pipesrussell]

@Grendel938 You are right, I've deleted my comment.

Bonne nuit.

[carolina1100able]

protege tu lenguaje! has tu propia bandera!

[mortalkiss363]

This song is amazing <3

[DJKaneHtownshuffler]

what is that machine thingy?

[ironhandSoverign]

Bjork is hot.

[2010peters]

I declare my own country! Free of Liberals and New Depresion Party people whining and crying over nothing and letting the big stuff get through. I will call it, New and Improved Canada!!!

[IshmaelKipling]

Now that I am more politically aware, I believe this video is in defiance of the New World Order.

[malakas13th]

this bass is fucking with my brain!

[anvyder]

Защити свой язык!

[sharinganchidori100]

Declare Independence more like wtf is she doing to those men

[revivasu]

hahahaa sofunny

[GreenChorosh]

[valdie68]

On her arm is polish flag... I hope so....

[Strght1]

@valdie68 its greenland

[DestyN0va]

@valdie68

It is not the polish flag, it is the flag of Greenland (which is a Danish colony)

[jaejara]

@valdie68 On one shoulder is the flag of Greenland and on the other is the flag of the Faroe Islands - both self-governing dependencies of Denmark.

[valdie68]

make your own flag

raise your flag

declare independence

don't let them do that to you

[valdie68]

Polish transitio: ;) Ogłoście niepodległość Nie pozwólcie robić tego Wam Sprawiedliwość Z flagą i trąbką Idźcie na szczyt najwyższej góry I podnieście swoją flagę Ogłoście niepodległość Nie pozwólcie robić tego wam Podnieście flagę

[acijor1]

just i can say... ur videos are an art <3

[visceralguy]

I want to declare independence but I'm a slave to money.

When is the future that was seen in Star Trek, where there is no money, going to occur? It's possible...

[BruceMOable]

@visceralguy when there is unlimited resources made from replicators ... not any time soon

[DelMonteOnSteroids]

@visceralguy Pretty fucking soon.

[visceralguy]

@DelMonteOnSteroids The sooner the better!!!!

[Liamandrewmusic]

Hate doing this on a Bjork song, and all together, but forced to by modern music business; I'm inspired by all the music I post this message into, hoping that my own sound may appeal to those who love the sounds I love. I've just finished a demo and would love if anyone has a few minutes to listen and tell me what they think and spread it if they like it. Know Bjork wouldn't mind, loving the new album btw luv! Beauty in sound! Take care everyone, much love. Liam Andrew

[Paperhouse81]

Notice how the "flag" in this video is made of random colors. Suggesting diversity.

[Mythodiir]

She reminds me of Yoko Ono; She's into insane inside out advent garde music, and takes herself far too seriously as an artist. Either that or I don't take here seriously enough. I don't know what I mean, but.... This damn song is messing with my head!

[Paperhouse81]

@Mythodiir Perhaps your judgement is being clouded by inferior feelings and/or envy.

[JamesMonroeV]

I feel like i've heard the snare that comes in at @1:44 in a Daft Punk song. Hmm.

[Paperhouse81]

I am severely fascinated with the architecture of this video. There is something very strong in watching this. I guess the subtle green outfits they are wearing, along with a machine that is controlling them. A rather odd video.

[Paperhouse81]

And yes, she is referring to the independence of thought. Notice the strings attached to everyone at the same time along with one speaker (Bjork in this case) delivering one message (in colors) to the same crowd. She is strongly suggesting independence.

GO BJORK!!

[Paperhouse81]

This video delivers a very colorful message to all of us. If we listen with our eyes, we can understand what is beneath the strangeness of this video.

[Paperhouse81]

I love her cosmonautic outfit in this video.

[visceralguy]

I'm Independent!

[HallasTe]

Grenland?

[lostfloor]

eeehmm... yea.

[tafudiso]

GENIAL! SIMPLY FUCKING INCREDIBLE!

[cstoltz3]

@DebilitasToo this is true

[JellyKimSugarBoom14]

BESTIVAL <3



[XxMasonnn]

WTF is this -_-

[JubJubBirdProduction]

@XxMasonnn it's geniuos. It's art. That is, what it is.

[TheCataracsDev]

This music is pretty glum and depressing.

[aastr00]

if u can't sing, you always can do some crazy unique shit, yes shit, and get famous for "new shit"... 

[HumanRightsVideosT]

@aastr00

Free Russia, China and Tibet

[ranekh]

i love this woman, i love this video, i love this song.

[OMFGItsJadeyCakes]

I LOVE the fact that she's controlling them while telling them to be independent! It's so frikkin deep! <3 <3 <3

[straightpipePLD]

damn i can listen to björk songs only once or twice...after that my head is sick.. but the music is good :-)

[LidlFisken]

2deep4me

I dunno, just feels a bit too artsy lol

imo

[Syuni2Kiss]

@LidlFisken well that was a weird remark :P XD

[mridow]

594 people don't want independence

[felipemorgado7]

is very well done audiovisually, bjork is a great artist!

[cstoltz3]

The lyrics in this song are good, but I get the idea that the lyrics are not hers. In certian parts of this video, she seems unsure of what she is singing. That is one thing that gets to me about this song.

The beat is also weird and can drive a person insane after a while of listening.

[1bayne1]

@cstoltz3 nonsense.. the lyrics are all hers, she sings them with conviction and anyone driven insane by her is another victory for sane people everywhere

[ToolonBass]

@cstoltz3 She probably looks unsure since she's not a native speaker of English. In fact her native language is very different. No matter what, most native speakers can tell a non-native speaker.

[cstoltz3]

@ToolonBass Ok, that does make a lot of sense. 

[Lionkingview]

589 People are against Independence

[PoIsOnDiVx]

Differences will save the world.

[PoIsOnDiVx]

Protect your language! Proteggete la vostra lingua!

[leloucHikaru]

This is my most favorite song from Bjork -- EVER! (my second fave is Nattura.)

This is the reason why I bought her Volta album and became a fan of her.

Industrial music it is! Wishing Nine Inch Nails to make a cover of this, just my opinion.

[duongle1993]

love



[ronesbat]

Sjálfstæði!

[zackdh9]

DONT LET THEM DO THAT TO YOOOOOOOOOOOO

[usekkbox]

god~~so weird~~nightmare...

[gelopartypoison]

i hate it when the top comment is a reply..

[Alowne90]

How is this a song? with singing? not personnally my style , too repetitive..

[CMShelpM5]

@Alowne90 yes. It is and not in her usual kind of style either. This is a statement about something.

[groovylocks]

TIBET.

[splashfoop]

O.O wooooo amo ese videoo!!! D: Es qe canta tan bizarramente y sin efectos de voz *-* uff genial......

[MorbidManMusic]

I love this tune! He Bjork Fans. I have a cover of ARMY OF ME up at my youtube site. Please come by and check it and the other out. You may find other stuff you like too. Thanks.

[Linkinpaul]

Best Wishes to Palestine!

[Grendel938]

I love how fierce she is in this video.

[docBOSS1444]

someone please explain this to me

[BrocxMalaak]

I'm not an avid bjork fan. But this and Army of Me are just so badass.

[Orbit620]

but the flag bjork is wearing is the one of Greenland.

so I guess that is who the song really is about

(see on her arm red/white circle in square)

[berserkur19]

@Orbit620 It´s about Greenland and The Faroe Islands

[karelzich]

I thought "wow, this looks big" for like the first minute and then kinda disappointed in the end. it's an original idea but kinda incomplete

[omgwtfbbq03]

björk > britney spears

[ImFineYurSick]

It's within context of the fact that Iceland rioted and kicked their government out issuing still active arrest warrants for their former officials, because the banks in their country took everyone's homes and let unemployment reach disgusting levels while working together with corrupt sold out - bought out lackeys calling themselves government officials - sound familiar to anyone? Anyone in Ireland? England?? America?? Spain? Greece? Haiti? Argentina?

[sonicwingnut]

@ImFineYurSick Ha, *raises hand* UK here, glad someone kicked off properly then, I was surprised there wasn't riots here when the banks got let off, especially that particular issue where they lost two test cases about illegal charges then appealed to the House of Lords and got a golden handshake.

[fadkolenov]

genius!!!

[143tank]

bjork is the baddest chick ever shes the best

[MilanPtheCharming]

the best part is she said 'Declare independence' and in the video she obviously controls the people

[TerminalSulcus]

I'm an Arab and I'm going to name my daughter Bjork. Fuck Yea!

[fractuz]

@TerminalSulcus Don't forget to write it with an ö though!

[archimede971]

@fractuz Not on italian keyboards... :-(

[Grendel938]

Holy crap, I have to get this album.

[robokopo]

This is the worst Björk's song! This noise and pretentious text are insupportable. This is awful.

[Malkavianos28]

@robokopo this is the greatest song of bjork....it is just not the style of music you are used to...

[robokopo]

@Malkavianos28 I don't think so.

[edelstone10]

@robokopo That is the most pussy weak comment ever.

[robokopo]

@edelstone10 Thank you, yours is very inteligent.

[edelstone10]

@robokopo It is concise - this takes inteligence.

[robokopo]

@edelstone10 Really? What a valuable remark! It has changed my life!

[edelstone10]

@robokopo Hmm.......you probably are one of those people who obtains life skills from Youtube.

[robokopo]

@edelstone10 Hmmm... Isn't that the voice of Nietsche's ressentiment in you?

[edelstone10]

@robokopo No. It is the voice of someone procrastinating by messing with your mind.

[robokopo]

@edelstone10 As I thought you didn't understand. One remark: read more and then write, not otherwise.

[edelstone10]

@robokopo Whatever.

I am going to make millions out of you one day.

[bennyjohnhampson]

@robokopo Thats your opinion. I think that makes the song brilliant. It makes my blood pump through my veins faster than any other song. It makes me aggressive. It works

[robokopo]

@bennyjohnhampson I know that that is my opinion, you don't have to explain it to me. And I won't change it although I'm a big fan of Björk: Declare Independence is her worst song, pretentious and cacophonic. Such a song can be made within one hour, this is shit.

[haisenpahalle]

never feel like a stranger in your own land

[revolushion666]

eso es art videos musical YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Bjork FOREVER

GRANDEEEEEEEEEEE grandeeeee!! ♫

[revolushion666]

eso es art videos musical YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Bjork FOREVER

GRANDEEEEEEEEEEE EHHH

[face2facechick]

I heard her two new tracks and they are just not good. I hope the rest of the new album does not reflect those two tracks. I wish Bjork would stop with the collaborations. I think that has been her downfall. Please give us old Bjork!!!

[Vincentskater1]

My mom told me to turn this music down, SO I DECLARED INDEPENDENCE AND she hit me..

[DemitriRas]

4:16 shes like: Crap, we got paint on the freaking camera, does this mean we have to do it again?

[idontwant2bpoor]

thumbs up and down.... i like the song, not the video...she is cool though

[carOowlina]

i like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[carOowlina]

cn sta kncion me identifico ya ke en MexicOw la independencia paraciera cmo un mito cm algo ke jamas pasO T_T

nfin stakncion es lo maximow me facinan sus knciones y su vos n_______n

[FallenMetalLover]

@carOowlina Totalmente de acuerdo!

[luciagiorgetta]

I love her so much...she's a genius

[diegdiegdiegdieg]

falkland islands are ARGENTINIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!! descolonize england!

[abortiongonewrong]

This is very easy for an Icelandic citizen to sing. The island is all about independence and protecting Icelandic langauge, culture , they don't want non-icelandic people to live there . Oh it's hard to get into Iceland and become a citizen

You have to be born into it.

[duncangray2011]

rosseti said like a stone, and if angles slumber too long they get rooted.

[LoveTheVoiceWithin]

yeaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!  *rocks head* *feels pumped* :P hehe

[raaaaaarr]

...How does this have so many views and likes?..

[thefearlessfrog]

björk! do you wanna marry me? i cook for you and you sing for me... =D

[realself1]

they don't seem independent from Bjork...

[froilanx69]

@realself1 That's probabbly de point...

[MrTreife]

fantastic!!! 

[caliban1993]

she so pyscho!

[Stilspel]

I tried clicking dislike... And it said, "This feature is not available right now."

I guess this song can only be liked? Meh.

[laurapujol44]

we would declare our own independence us as well... We're struggling to this.

Congratulations to all the countries that turned independant.

[tomchapin83]

This isn't music. This is noise.

[banhotsu]

@tomchapin83 ikr and your not a human, your a chimp.

[OMFGTheLlamaHasAGun]

@tomchapin83 Noise IS music. Anything can be music. Just like art, music has no definite meaning in that pretty much any sound or series of sounds can be considered music. You can question whether or not this should be considered music, but you seem like an idiot when you say it simply isn't.

[tomchapin83]

@OMFGTheLlamaHasAGun Yes, I understand that the sounds in this song are meant as music, but to me they merely sound like a jumbled cacophony of un-melodic, un-harmonious noises. Is the sound of traffic "music", or is it merely "noise"? What about the sounds of nature? When a tree falls in the forest, is it "music", or merely "noise"?

[tomchapin83]

@OMFGTheLlamaHasAGun Let me re-phrase my statement in a different way: This song grates on my eardrums in a way that isn't pleasant, much like random, loud noises might. But you're right, obviously it's still music.

[OMFGTheLlamaHasAGun]

@tomchapin83 Alright, that's a valid complaint over saying this simply isn't music. I really can't explain what Bjork was thinking when she took the route of ear-wrecking industrial music for this song, but I'd say that I've maybe just listened to enough of this music to gain an "immunity" to it. This song is just more conceptual than anything else. And to reply to your other comment, yeah, music can really be any noise people want it to be, so you've just got to avoid saying something isn't.

[DrConan65]

this song is dedicated to my Serbian PENIS.

[sabarios]

@tomchapin83 arte de vanguardia solo apto para los que entienden el arte como una unidad holistica chato

[N0TS0SUBTLE]

She has quite an imagination

[EuTuboSim2010]

yes hooney, i am not in your position in terms of money or contry people! ur an artist

[worldmeon]

This is so GOOD!!

[Nemod6989]

This is fucking awful, the beat is reminescent of every electro song, but the tempo is god awful.

[sbilts]

Well I like it....

[mellisagOrman]

I don't know if it's her or the quality of this video. But it sucks.

[karelzich]

I think the concept is interesting, but the result kinda underwhelming as the song itself, which is however great live.

[ArcaneVortex]

Quality is beyond horrible!

[IsaMarini]

This is so weird

[dalooloo28]

i don't understand why listening to her makes those people independent? shouldn't she just cut them free?

[ThisSuburbanWar]

@dalooloo28 It's irony ... that's why she says raise your flag. There is no freedom without law.

[diamondmoney007]

She is a dope head,,,, declare independence, don't let them do that to you, ????? The Chinese would squash Tibet,,, never in a million would Tibet have a chance,, unless they had a nuke

[YesManF7W]

is it me or does this suck?

[shivayavoda]

@YesManF7W its you

[luiscarre]

@YesManF7W THIS SUCKS
