Bjork - Pagan Poetry (Matthew Herbert Handshake Mix)

[SuperJC1973]

wooooooooo great remix! sounds fantastic with good quality of speakers!

[rankine67]

Sad that one can not share their own enthusiasm for something just to have abuse thrown at them but aI suppose that's life and the internet oh yes human beings all of us are intelligent beings I was not talking about interlect just plain old being human .Music touches is all. Oh swear at me if you will or troll somewhere else.

[ADSN70919294]

smart people don't waste time ridiculing criticism ...it's a matter of taste and perspective not intelligence.

[Kadadj]

Music has nothing to do with intelligence. I could say that everyone her who does not like metal has a low intelligence, but that would not be true, the same with classical, jazz and so on. So basically: Fuck you, you pretentious bastards. Hurrdurr, I like something that's odd and unique, therefore I am the same.

[esla90]

the bassline gives me goosebumps

[keepingalowprofile]

Remind me to Portal 2

[finefinefine]

I disagree, the real dumb people are the ones that think they "get" her music.

[LoneInACrowd]

Love Bjork... love her music and her mind... but this is the worst redo mix of this song ...HORRID

[SongBillong]

@LoneInACrowd I've got to agree. It spoils the whole elegance and smoothness of the track. I know remixes are supposed to change things obviously, but I think it goes beyond 'remixing' when it spoils the song completely. Poor :(

[illumiere]

@SongBillong Pagan Poetry is probably my favorite song, and I think this is a really great mix. MH doesn't spoil anything from the song, he just gives a darker, grittier take on it. And you gotta love that bass.

[ArizonaByThe27]

@illumiere Yeah; I actually have to say that I like this remix better than the original. "Gritty" is definitely an apt term. I think it really delves more into the atmosphere the lyrics give off, almost, you know? Anyhow, yes. Total agreement.

[rankine67]

Luvin this ,it does not take that much intelligence to know that she is a musical genius .

[luna8643]

que rola tan vergona!

I can't find this ANowhere!!!!!!!! ='(

[AnjoDeGuardaThe4th]

my last comment was directed @ CujoRamsey

[AnjoDeGuardaThe4th]

Since i don't like the word scatting, or scat since it reminds of the definition of something nasty. I'll keep with the term Throat Singing. ^ ^

[jo4drian]

v nice remix, the base beats that come through are an unexpected delight, cheers

[CujoRamsey]

Don't see the appeal of her. She's just an untalented weirdo.

[AnjoDeGuardaThe4th]

You have to already have a developed taste for music like hers, It's okay to just like noise for what it is.. some times though you listen to the words and make your own meaning for it. Or just listen to what's being said.. Eitherway it's not for everyone, like some people drink coffee and some people drink tea.. for me i drink both. lol.

[Cuythulu]

Yeah, dumb people usually don´t get her music.

[anarchrisis]

@Cuythulu

Honestly, many smart people don't either.

[xXXShinXtremXXx]

I like it, doesn't mean i understand it.

[fidget68]

@xXXShinXtremXXx

Try not to overthink music.

[leguminoso]

@Cuythulu enjoying music doesn't require intelligence....

[Cuythulu]

@leguminoso Then why is it that every guido on the planet enjoys shitty techno?

[radweed2009]

@Cuythulu Well said. Smart people know to ignore the fact that she does the same stuff over and over and over and over again.

I like Bjork a lot, but give me a break. She stands out in pop music, but only because the pool is very, very shallow.

[WorldofWandag]

@radweed2009 I sort of agree... not entirely, but I know what you mean. I've loved Bjork since her 11 year old lullaby and Sugar Cubes... And although I've enjoyed ALL her albums (mostly because her production is f*ckin genius and plutonian), her vocal melodies have remained... pretty much the same. Same interval leaps and rhythmic gestures in her vocal lines (although that PERFECT octatonic scale she sang in homogenic was awesome). Still, love her regardless.

[getkristan]

@WorldofWandag I think having your own completely identifiable sound is pretty much *it* as far as I'm concerned. Look at Cohen or Dylan or Willie Nelson, Steven Tyler.. I think most great/cool voices are "different" but "limited". Few exceptions.

[WorldofWandag]

@getkristan don't get me wrong. I have no critique on her vocals as an instrument and her very DISTINCT timbre. In fact, part of the reason why I love her is because there's nobody i know that sounds like her.  With that being said, the aforementioned examples you've given fall in the same category except those singers definitely change up their melodic structure and leaps and steps and vary how the melody is constructed. With Bjork, her structures have been the same throughout

[WorldofWandag]

@WorldofWandag then again, she could be doing that on purpose... keep the same type of melodic lines but change the contours, orchestrations, production, arrangements of the music that backs her vocals up. in the end, she's still the master

[getkristan]

@WorldofWandag I agree, although I do think Bjork has some melodic variation. But I don't think she is trying to write a "killer melody". She just does her thing, and producers have their way with her voice. I *do* criticize her a bit just because it is kind of taboo to dis the "artiste". Her lyrics are quite weak, for ex. I think she has a unique voice, skilled in its way, and a wonky etherial personality that attracts.. but the rest is production, designers, and marketing.

[liyosan]

@WorldofWandag She tried to fix her song structure sameness (4/4 timing almost all the time) with Biophilia.

[DiabolicalAbstract]

@Cuythulu So true man. Perfectly put.

[fasteddy60]

Beautiful tune !! As always,Bjork is fantastic !

[JimmyTee73]

typically excellent herbert remix :)

[moangafly]

is she naked here ?

[GreenDubWire]

Aah, YES!!!

[AnjoDeGuardaThe4th]

this is a really good halloween song..^ ^

[01mp70]

J'aime beaucoup de remix de la miss mais cette version de Pagan Poetry est la numéro 1 de toutes. Je ne m'en lasse pas de l'entendre encore et encore...

[Dante051180]

Amazing remix...Matthew is the man.

[FallenShards]

Does anyone understand what she says at the bridge? I've never understood no matter how hard I tried. I only get the ending of it.

[renethel]

Don't worry, none of us understand. lol! She scats and sings unintelligible words in practically all of her songs.

[AnjoDeGuardaThe4th]

I think she throat sings, sometimes she sings in icelandic, you gotta listen in hard to realize that. but the throat singing is superb in the original!!

[renethel]

No, the gibberish she's singing is referred to as Hopelandic. Trust me, I've done my research on this. And when she sings in Icelandic, it's made very apparent.

Her singing, in general, is superb! Lots of love for Bjork!

[AnjoDeGuardaThe4th]

@renethel I feel as though "Hopelandic" is more of a sigur ros thing. Before they came into the picture in 94' and the term wasn't used, What would you call it then??? I still think of it as throat singing. ^ ~

[renethel]

Although Sigur Ros coined the term, it is the same concept.

You can simply say she's scatting, which isn't a surprise considering Bjork has dabbled in jazz before she became an international sensation. :)

[AnjoDeGuardaThe4th]

Okay, i feel that's something i can agree with. Sorry i don't usually like to debate but it was something i just wanted to do. ^ ^ but you won. *bows and leaves the room*

[renethel]

Lol, it's all good.

[imnothear]

nope. hopelandic was first done on sigur ros's song 'von'... which translates to 'hope'. sigur's fans coined the term hopelandic. aka vonlenska... hopelandic is definitely just a sigur thing, though the band dismisses the term. they call it "blah blah blah"...

[renethel]

Yes, that word was coined by them, but they didn't create the concept. Neither did Bjork. It's just a variation of scatting, although it's not jazz.

And I already corrected myself about that in the comment I left two weeks ago....lol! :P

[imnothear]

indeed indeed... i apologize... i do agree with you. i just feel that jonsi has his own little repetitive vocal world full you "yooooouuuuu siiiiiighhhhhh's" which is his own thing. bjork as well has her own thing. but yes they are two takes on the same concept. completely agree

[vanderherring]

exactly.

Hopelandic: a made-up language (created by band Sigur Ros) which the sound of the word is a meaning and a story to each individual. (after: Urban Dictionary)

[brianmccormick]

sick beyond sick.........

[lirVALEN83]

amazing...

[moonis1]

it is one of björks favorit remix she says! its true!!!

tears, such as angel weep, burst forth: at last words interwove whit sight, found out their ways

[Voltasaur]

It's one of the best remixes on Vesperine. <3

[Paganiqua]

disrespectful?

[ivebeenswank]

Bjork happened to release this picture as album artwork, and being that it's HER topless picture the only one it could possibly be direspectful to is herself (clearly it's not as she had it released).

[RedRadRoot]

If you think nudity (God forbid!) is somehow - for some convoluted, bizarre, perverse and/or unknown/unfathomable 'reason' - disrespectful; then, perhaps, you should watch/listen to Doris Day, instead.

[Saphiramajka1]

whats a mix! tasty....

5/5!

[sleater84]

ya, this remix is gr8, really creepy

[6473303494]

tales son las palabras de un imbecil ignorante, gente como tu da pena y risa.

[nyvor]

q insultante, considero tu comentario realmente eres un gran ignorante.. u.u

[jleigh329]

This is so beautiful and haunting. Matthew Herbert definitely did a great job reinventing the song without ruining it. This is probably one of the best official remixes of a song Bjork ever put out . Thank you sooo much for this, this is great.

[southwer]

this is an awesome mix

[madrereus16]

i loove this version specially for the shaking effect takes me back to 2004

[wilsontt88]
