I liked it, yea its a cover, lyrics may have been changed a bit but I'm sure Bjork enjoyed it. Another artist took time to perform to her and pay her homage...
I thought she did a wonderful rendition. I loved how she changed it to "be safe again with you." It changes the whole meaning of the song and pertains right now more like my own experience in love.
loses a bit of something without bjorks slightly awkward accent but never the less still sends shivers down the spine at certain moments. Good,good cover!!
Love Robyn but obviously no one can deliver this song as well as Bjork can. No one can. But i still dig the performance, as its still beautiful on its own. I particularly love the instrumental arrangement, it gets so epic and euphoric towards the end. Just lovely.
It is a challenge to cover Bjork to say the least and very few people take an attempt to do that. Robyn has managed to make the song her own. She has both the guts and the talent - well done!
Why does she sing "to be safe again with you" when Björk says "to be safe up here with you"?? There is a big difference in meaning. Björk says she throws things down from the mountain like a ritual so she can feel safe when she's up there on the brim. I'm pretty sure Björk wasn't too happy about Robyn's arbitrary misinterpretation!
i just watched Bjork singing hyperballad live at royal opera house and she is definitely saying "up here with you" in that, so i think she alternates between "up here" and "again"
@kikikerosene you have no idea how many people i know think that bjork is singing,"safe again with you". i don't think she was adapting the song to herself. shit,if i knew bjork was going to be right in front of me while i was singing one of her best songs ever,i would've read the lyrics just to be safe. how nerve racking did that have to be? she could have probably smelled what perfume bjork had on-lol. that's intimadating as shit!
Robyn actually has a really strong voice and is a very technical singer as well. I think this version probably turned out like she intended it to. I like Robyn. In this case I still prefer Bjork's original but, I think Robyn made it her own. It's a cover. What's the point if you're just trying to make a perfect imitation of the original.
how difficult it is to sing Bjork... many times it seems to be impossible. hmm. but this version is magical. Robyn's voice is not strong and powerful as Bjork but still she put real emotions into this. it sounds true : )
The musicians are good, the video is good, the performance is as weak as the voice of a mouse. No breathtaking scream at the word "safe up here with" like Bjork does by herself. I think she should'nt sing this song any more
@horrorvictim This is debatable, but I do think Bjork says "up here" - but it's really kinda hard to tell. For a loooong time I thought she was saying "again" though.
@horrorvictim Let me change my mind on this. It is not debatable. Bjork says "up here." Check her performances of this on Youtube if you don't believe it.
@FavreianVengeance I dare you to make a song as beautiful as this. You know you're an amazing musician (and yes, I'm applying the term musician, and as someone who's studying music I think I can use it correctly) when people cover your songs so extensively. I feel a bit bad for you though; you'll never recognize the subtle brilliance.
I asked if she took a Bjork song and made it sound like a real song? How are you assuming that I'm being critical of this version? You should learn how to comprehend. And I asked the question, not having heard Bjork's version. And for the fun of it, I went back and saw that her version was her general clashes and ranting off key.
I've always liked Robyn's music, but watching this I have anew found respect for her as an artist. This interpretation was incredibly thoughtful, yet it still had Robyn's edginess. I mean I'm in tears here... I'm floored. The emotional power of Bjork was channelled for sure.
Robyn is breathtaking, she said that Bjork came up to her after the show and thanked her for the beautiful cover. How awesome! Robyn did a good job with the song and the string arrangement at the end is incredible. Thank you very much for posting this video.
and Bjork was like: Whaaaat?? You are not singing right U_U
