Even if I like very much this song, what I found so fascinating, is that title... Hyper ballad... How can you hyper ballad yourself ? Makes me think about Dali, Jodorowski and all those surrealist guys.
I didn't even realize until the end that Yeah Yeah Yeah's do a cover of this song. I love them <3 Honestly, I think I like their version better. My favorite song by Bjork so far is Army of Me.
and throw little things out like: car-parts, bottles and cutlery or whatever i find lying around it's become a habit a way to start the day i go through this before you wake up so i can feel the fear to be safe again with you
@jrogoth Sorry but you wrong--- if you don't know Yeahs Yeahs created on 2000 and this song is 1995 ... please read WIKIPEDIA OR OTHER SITES PS: The inmigrant song of the teaser trailer of The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo is a cover of LED ZEPPELIN just in case if you think LED ZEP "Stole" the song of Karen O
uh, dumb bags! This song was not written by Bjork. She stole it from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. They sent her this song as a demo...Proof is in the download. Go download the Yeah Yeah Yeah's- Hyperballad live...it's much better and is the original. Love ya Karen. You deserve the real cred here...
Nah, that person lied. I just watched a video of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs playing this song live, and she clearly says "this is a Bjork song" at the beginning.
@jrogoth I wonder where you got that info since I couldn't find it anywhere, and I don't believe it would have been possible for her to "steal" it without any reports about legal issues or fights between the two bands, so... well I don't buy it, unless there's proof somewhere about that demo version you're talking about.
Bjork's version of Hyperballad was released in 1995... The yeah yeah yeah's didn't even exist! they started in 2000, and recorded that live version you speak of in 2006! 11 years after bjork did! So maybe, just maybe... you should do some research and use some common sense before you start calling other people 'dumb bags' ;-)
@jrogoth hahahahaha I can't believe you just said that!!!! yyy's DID the cover!!! hope this is a joke. I'm LMFAO. and the story "the yyy's sent her the demo" OMG!!!! hahahahahahaha, you know.. i like you ^^
@jrogoth the yeah yeah yeahs released their first album in 2003, this is off the album post which was released in 1995 you are obviously a shit troll and you should give up NOW!!!!!!
@jrogoth Poor you. U obviously have no clue about this matter. Others have already commented you with the facts. I think you should email Yeah yeah or whatever their name is, I never heard them anyways and ask them Im sure they will tell you - as we already said. Its a song from Bjork which they covered.
I was sociaizing with the ways (who weren't there) We went to the store but I sayed in the car because I didnt know where to go. Then I came to and he smelled like a sewer.
Whose to say whats mediocre and whats the not? We all have different perspectives/tastes and I personally love Lady Gaga and Bjork. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" Thanks for posting this btw :D
Ok you are right we are all different but I say mediocre because these people doesn´t do anything for the sake of music, they are just sellers, they do music only to get paid or get some passing fame... I mean they are not the beatles, rolling stones, blondie, the cure, nirvana or bjork, they aren´t special, they didn´t invent anything new
@HYPERJOHNBASS Yea they may not be "special" or invent anything new but I truly think they're just being themselves and doing what makes them happy. Their music may seem bland or mediocre or generic but a group of people love their songs and thats all the production of music needs.
@vgdominator yes you´re right but I´m only responding to that comment which said that lady gaga will go down in history and will be loved forever... she isn´t that special to be part of music history that´s all
Whose to say whats mediocre and whats the not? We all have different perspectives/tastes and I personally love Lady Gaga and Bjork. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
I saw it as, she's not getting the same original thrill she got from her relationship at the beginning, still in love, but not thrilled.
And so, every morning before she wakes up she lies half-asleep and imagines herself in daunting and dangerous situations, so that when she opens her eyes and sees the one she loves, she feels a wave of relief and gratitude.
That's what I find so sweet about this song, she's doing her most to maximize her love
"Basically, 'Hyper-ballad' is about having this kind of bag going on and three years have passed and you're not high anymore. You have to make an effort consciously and nature's not helping you anymore. So you wake up early in the morning and you sneak outside and you do something horrible and destructive, break whatever you can find, watch a horrible film, read a bit of William Burroughs, something really gross and come home and be like, 'Hi honey, how are you?'."
@Balendula yeah, I know what are you talking about (specially the part when she sings that she imagines herself falling off a cliff and crashing against the rocks) but well, it´s a song and songs can have a lot of meanings...
@HYPERJOHNBASS hey thanks... that is truly the best damn description i have heard yet about this song.... i love Bjork to bits sometimes it is a little hard to get a handle on where Bjork is coming from with the occasional song but usually i just bask in her beautiful professionalism ...
I love this song. It has refrain is beautiful and touchy. I imagine that I'm living in a mountain top and every morning walk towards the edge. I'm feeling the fresh air and enjoy the silence. Thank you Björk!(L)
Not sure you've quite got to grips with what the song is about there man. She's not singing about going for a morning stroll, she's angry. She goes to the cliff edge to destroy things as a way of exorcising demons.
She's venting her frustration so as to not take it out on other people.
I think she is a good artist and most of the people likes her music but she is not great as you say... bjork is great, madonna is great, michael jackson is great but lady gaga is not that great
@MrHomeGurl yes she will go down in history forever as part of the 00´s and 10´s mediocre mainstream music wave along with b.e.p, justin bieber, shakira and many others
Even if I like very much this song, what I found so fascinating, is that title... Hyper ballad... How can you hyper ballad yourself ? Makes me think about Dali, Jodorowski and all those surrealist guys.
