Pagan Poetry

Let's see, can all of Sup Forums agree that Björk's Pagan Poetry video is the best music video ever put out by any female artist ever?

One of the best music videos of ALL TIME! OF ALL TIME!

all is full of love, lad

what does it all mean tho? is it just all metaphors?

She likes to represent emotions and sensations with physical objects. This is about passionate sex so I guess the chains are like her neurons firing all over her body. But at the same time they pierce her body , are permanent. So it's probably an experience that'll stay with her for a long time. Dunno, just some thoughts

Time to watch it. Just getting into her music. Thanks for the rec.
Good reflexion.

>you will never have an experience with björk she'll remember for a long time

I would do a lot for an uncensored version of those white parts btw

Projecting much? Wtf kinda response is that

youtu.be/HgGJtKf0DLA?t=1m6s

what did she mean by this?

What? I don't think you understood what I said.
I wonder if she still watches them from time to time.

>implying bjork titties are better than this

though I'll give you it's a good song.

She's just so spontaneous and fun. Truly a special character.

pulling a little aphex twin there. Fucking around with journalists asking useless questions

who didn't know you can actually see her nipples on this one. Shitty music desu.

gling glo klukken slo

pleb

I wish i had her voice and could use it to make some actual good music

I like her work with the sugarcubes more. It's way better. Her solo work has been hit and miss most of the time.

Just use your own voice user. That's just a silly thing to wish.

but vespertine is fucking great, don't see how you could call it shit.

When I said shitty music I meant to say the song for this video. Vespertine is ok, I didn't say it was shit.

Nah, some voices simply don't have an interesting timbre and just aren't meant to be used for singing. Mine is one of those.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE FUCKING CAPTCHAS; I FUCKING SOLVED IT YOU SHIT SITE

i wish i could go to a meadow with bjork

pagan poetry is fucking transcendent my dude, what the fuck
two headed bear

its almost as good as the one for wanderlust. thats my favourite

>transcendent
Maybe if you get high as a kite on shrooms, LSD or some other hallucinogenic drug. To us with sober minds it just sounds like a cacophony of her screaming and rambling semi-coherent shit

utopia is god-tier on shrooms btw

no

t. sober mind

>sober minds
More like boring minds. You don't need drugs to enjoy Björk, or any other music if you're intelligent enough.

What a beautiful and magical music video! Probably one of the most inspiring ones I've ever seen. Is every single Björk music vid an original masterpiece in itself? I'm truly amazed.

woah man I agree with you, but you sound like a bit of a reddit pseud, tone it down a bit.

most of em yeah
she puts a lot of effort into making sure her visual artists translate her concepts
very involved

yeah most of them are and a lot of them have a lot of humour too

her humor is underrated
she can be very funny

Jep, they always seem to forget that there's a difference between emotional intelligence and practical intelligence. You can be very empathetic, understand the human condition and all that but be rubbish at standardized tests. Those are mostly people who get into art school I feel. They are intelligent, just not in a way most people deem useful to society

I agree with you 100% here, and I feel like it's why "nerds" are some of the worst people to be around. they're completely useless in terms of connecting to other people so their entire lives become dick measuring contests about who's more "intelligent".

btw are you into mommy bjork?

I don’t know about best video but it’s my favourite Björk song along with hyperballad

good choice

Of course, that's why I'm here :p One of my favourite singers/artists all around. I'm def one of those people whose more emotional/verbal than logical. Although I also like quite precise electronic music.
I guess you could say I like being analytical if it also involves my emotions. Otherwise it just becomes a technical borefest.

I think she's the best of both worlds, the precision of IDM/dance beat production and wildly emotional vocal performing.

Exactly. I've watched some interviews of hers and she's touched on that multiple times. Saying she likes to be quite academic when choosing sounds, mixing etc. and then let her emotional side come through in her performance. That's real boundary pushing art, I think. Using the newest technologies to unite our objective and subjective side. Especially relevant in times where our focus is mainly on our objective side through science and engineering. We have to keep in touch with our emotions, otherwise we become like the robots we're so keen on developing.

Wow, you're like me but you know how to put what you're feeling to words. That's exactly how I feel. Have this rare Björk.

:)

Hehe thanks. Seems like the preparations for vespertine involved going out to Tibet to soak up the atmosphere and cuddling with a yeti :p

Maybe a bit of fun with a geisha doll before recording sessions?

Why not? She's Björk after all. I like how there's almost always a mix of sexual tension, humor, innocence and beauty in every picture of her. Such an interesting character

>ywn live through the apocalypse with bjork

Yeah, that's why I love watching her interviews and just hearing her speak, she's a person who has things to say.

>you will never cultivate food with her on the small patch of land you own

I get the feeling she has a (subconscious) attraction to Japan. Maybe because of her looks, or because of her character. And I mean she basically dressed up as a geisha for her homogenic cover.

I think a lot of artists do, they have a wonderful sense of aesthetics.

...

This cover invokes fear in me and I actually feel uneasy looking at it when it comes up.

i love it

No, but you will cultivate eggs. And now I get a thought I'd best keep to myself, unless anyone wants this thread spoiled :p

I used to feel that way too, now it's sort of inspiring, like a goddess figure of sorts.
You just made me laugh really hard. Also, I don't mind a bit of lewd, user.

:^)

Her voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard

No, it sounds like a human female voice.

gr8b8m8 This is her latest underground release btw
youtube.com/watch?v=13d5d6LVEpU&ab_channel=YourQuestionsAnswered
It's quite experimental, but I think you'll like it

Where do you keep finding all those great pics btw? 90% I hadn't ever seen before

>bjork.fr
They have an amazing catalog and are pretty easy to navigate in spite of being French.
>gudmundsdottirbjork.blogspot.com
Harder to navigate, but have some really sweet rare scans and stuff, also have a lot of recordings of live shows and interviews and whatnot.

Might as well give some good YouTube channels too.
>björk HD
Lots of recordings of her pre-solo stuff in bands like the Sugarcubes and KUKL, and even more obscure stuff like Tappi Tíkarass and her childhood. Also has some fanmade stuff that's decent if I remember correctly.
>björk talk
Obscure and rare interviews, and snippets of her talking during live shows.
>the Björk Archives
High quality versions of most her studio stuff and extras like remixes and box sets, some tracklists are a bit off though so be aware.

aight thx, I'm off to bed now though. No double meaning to that at all

You sure? Just kidding, night user.

Triumph of a Heart has to be one pf my favorite music videos ever. Spike Jonze is a god.

What's your favorite Björk video user?

youtube.com/watch?v=EN9auBn6Jys

Not the best when this exists sorry boys

bump

Is that Matthew Barney's cock going into her vagina in the video, Sup Forums?

Also this. Cibo Matto is so underrated.

"Pagan Poetry" is a Bjork song? That phrase is used in a Horse the Band song - I assume it's a reference but I didn't know that before.

Yeah, she can also be seen sucking him off two times in the video, presumably being eaten out, and riding him. Needless to say he had it good.

The first Cibo Matto song I heard was birthday cake and everything else I tried to listen to was boring by comparison.

i don't believe that people actually have sex outside of porn

Bachelorette

All is full of love was brilliant as well

>the bits towards the end where you see the needle going through her skin
AAAGH NOOOO

Which part, where the needle pierces the nipple or the shot of her back?
Good choices.

Both. It's a macabre punchline to such a sweet sounding song, but ends up making it more powerfully romantic in the process.

That's a nice way of looking at it, but most of the time I can't bring myself to watch it in full because of the abrupt piercing shot.

I always somehow forget it's coming.

Same, and it always fucking gets me. It's like, she sucks you into this beautiful world filled with sex and love and eroticism and then-BAM! Nipple piercing. Probably the closest I've ever gotten to watching through a shock site.

That must've hurt so fucking much though. She really went all the way for vespertine

She really went all the way for him :(

it wasnt her

you bjork fans are fucking weird

daily reminder, she's been BLACKED.

Are you alluding to her relationship with goldie?

I'm not a Sup Forumstard or Ricardo Lopez so I don't care. Besides, I'm mixed myself.

you guys are alright

give kahimi karie a try, she's like the japanese bjork

Alright, but I still belong to Bjork.

oh no, not more weeb shit

check these

don't embarrass yourself

You know pagan poetry is an actual thing right?
>the iq of metalcore fans

s-sorry

have a bork?
