Bjork - Hyperballad live HQ

I still can’t believe I’m sitting in the front row for this concert. A million thanks to the ticket lady on the phone who decided to give a poor college student the thrill of her life. I didn’t believe the usher when he told me “all the way to the front deary”, as we walked past Bono & PJ Harvey. One of the best experiences of my life. 💗🙏🏻

This song was ahead of its time when it was released 21 years ago, and it still is now.

It's so adorable, she's pure. The soul of a child within a poet, one of the greatest artists to walk the Earth.

The guy doing all the techno stuff, unsung hero. He did a freaking excellent job. I think I like this version a lot more than the recording.

When you don't need smoke, lasers, lights, choreographed dancers and the music speaks for itself. How often do we see shows like this anymore

Bjork on what inspired the song 'Hyperballad' "The critical time in a relationship, which usually happens after 3 years, and I can see all around me with all my friends. It's got to do with when you fall in love, it is so precious to you, you never know this might be the last time, so your behaviour towards the loved one becomes very sweet and you go somewhere else to be aggressive. Because I believe that all people have got both sides. So you end up having to unload your aggression at a bar or by throwing cutlery off cliffs. So you can come back to your loved one, kiss him sweet on his cheek, and say happily, Hi honey."

I think this is Björk's best song.

100 years from now,we will still be listening to Björk.

The most unique female voice ever, i really really love that voice.

One of those rare cases when the live version sounds better than the original. Everything she does is rare. It's as if the stars collided and created Bjork. She's on a whole other plane. Simply magic

She created her own music genre

There is nothing like her and never will be. She cannot be categorised. Much like the singer Lisa Gerrard, Bjork is from an unearthly ethereal realm and touches something strange inside the soul.

I just broke up with the girl i thought i'd spend my whole life with, 1 month after i bought an house for us. I had so many moments where i wanted to really express myself to her but she couldn't handle my weak side, i had to always be the positive and strong man with her. I had to handle all her emotional up and downs and this really took a toll on me after years of never being able to be weak in front of her. This song really is about the last years of my Life, i love Bjork

This performance makes me feel joy, sadness, longing, regret, heartbreak, love and optimism. What a wonderful artist Bjork is...a true living legend.

I'm an old guy, (jazz drummer, math teacher, etc.) but when her singing makes me cry. Really.  Wonderful personality...

Arguably one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. Gorgeous.

I still cry.

We live on a mountain Right at the top There's a beautiful view From the top of the mountain Every morning I walk towards the edge And throw little things off 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 all this Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you I go through all this Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you It's real early morning No-one is awake I'm back at my cliff Still throwing things off I listen to the sounds they make On their way down I follow with my eyes 'til they crash Imagine what my body would sound like Slamming against those rocks When it lands Will my eyes Be closed or open? I go through all this Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you I go through all this Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you I go through all this Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you Safe up (here with you)

The song is beautiful, but the heart wrenching outro with the strings beginning at 4:20 always brings me to tears. Beautiful is not a strong enough word for what it is.
