When you hear a cover of a Björk song it only emphasizes what a uniquely powerful voice she really has.

[@wkpna]

I agree, it makes not a lot of sense covering Björk.

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

@@wkpna ane brun has a very remarkable voice and fits into this song excellently

[@bhdr111]

[@kate804]

It’s a different approach, that doesn’t mean it’s the wrong approach!

[@coreygriffith]

Exactly

[@drdjosci]

Björk clearly loved it, so it's funny seeing all these know-it-all fans throwing shade at the comments.

[@joethelion6016]

Why don't people in comments get what this is? Bjork won the Polar Music Prize in 2010. Artists were chosen to sing one of her songs in honour of her music. Like Annie Lennox sang for Sting at his recognition award and Heart performed 'Stairway to Heaven' for Led Zeppelin. They're not 'covers' these are artists purposely singing her songs for the award ceremony. Stop making comparisons.

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

this cover is killing me. so freaking brilliant how anes voice fits into this master piece. björks shoes are gigantic and yet here we see how its done to walk in them.

[@stuartibbotson7179]

Epic Cover....the orchestra WOW

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

@@stuartibbotson7179 you can see in björks face that she is moved by the performance. it's björks birthday today

[@Diamondsrfvr]

This arrangement, and this orchestra! So powerful and heart achingly beautiful. Ane Brun, while having a different voice, conveys the kind of vulnerability that Bjork has. This is a tribute to a one-of-a-kind composer, singer, and artist that Bjork is.

[@AshleyRoth]

So true, I miss Björk and hope to see her online concert in April this year (2021). Björk is so important in music history. A special and exceptional gem. I am an art historian and been following and contemplating the art of Björk for years. A treasure!

Seeing Bjork sitting next to Ennio Morricone, words fail me.

[@JackFate76]

PJ Harvey next to Arnold Schwarzenegger ain’t bad, either.

[@Melissa-tw2gp]

Ane Brun is incredibly talented and gifted, but boy, I’m not sure Bork is coverable. Her voice is an instrument of its own, a vital part of every song.

[@sharifelmahdi9385]

Robyn did an unbelievable job at the same event with Hyperballad.

[@LilyBean82]

If I were singing this cover song I would have thrown up on the mic with nerves! I wouldn't be able to make a sound in front of Bjork so I am floored by Ane's performance. Wow.

[@Magic0165]

[@AshleyRoth]

Me too!

[@animalcol1]

@@AshleyRoth I don't cry, but am hugely moved. I prefer this to even Bjork. Her voice is haunting.

[@idratherstayanonimous7020]

@@animalcol1 She has better technique than Bjork that's for sure. Still, Bjork is just so raw and visceral; her version just destroys me, wouldn't change it for anything.

[@madvillian888]

Just to agree to do it takes balls bigger than Iceland. Its like being asked to paint a Mona Lisa to put in a gallery during the tribute for Davinci who will be viewing it himself that night. Some things cant be replicated . Bjork is one of those things.

[@felixmarques]

It might not be to your taste, but the delivery here is extremely solid. It's very heartfelt. It's fine if you don't connect. But it's there for others of us.

[@auratavarez2919]

I've been loving this song since I was 15 years old. To me, it's one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[@animalcol1]

This is sensational. Absolutely superb 💛

[@noonehmm]

This is simply incredible. I'm sorry, but this is such a moving performance. It's a little different and grander than the original. But look at the sincerity of this artist and this collection of human beings controlling themselves and using their willpower to give something beautiful to the world? If you are blind to the authenticity here, you are missing so much. The grandness and the others choices taken w this arrangement are authentic and meant to testify to what this song makes us feel. Yes, these choices are small and imperfect, just like every human action. But this is all humankind is capable of; this singer and these performers and organizers have gifted bjork and the world with the best they have. And it's even more beautiful that this is a cover because this song was written about deep friendship. I know people are complaining because Bjork is more Goddess than human to us fans,... we all know that. But this is a tribute to Bjork, and furthermore a tribute to what humankind can achieve with our small place in this big universe that we know hardly anything about. This is about what centers us and completes us- indescribable emotions and art as the only thing that can attempt to express these.

[@komendoterrra]

definitely not grander than the original

[@noonehmm]

​@@komendoterrra 💓 I'm really not a KZbin, social media comment kind of person. I just wanted to clarify that I feel for an artist like Ane Brun that puts their soul into their work genuinely. And the reaction of viewers on yt is that of criticism mostly. I get it- Bjork is probably the most incredible gift to humankind and I've perpetually been taken to other universes listening to Bjork since childhood. I get it. But this is an emotional performance by Ane Brun and it's done with an awareness of the impact of Bjork on an audience, and it is impossible to put that impact into words. Thus, a cover song takes the place. I'm seriously not trying to say anything other than ... I wish we could see Ane Brun as a human being here. It's tough what they are doing. There is beauty in what they've done while trying to live up to the ineffable. I love Ane Brun and what they do and their performance moved me in a different way. I swear that I'm not trying to say anything against anyone's viewpoint or thoughts. And I'm not commenting further (I've got real life things to do, like everyone). For some reason, I couldn't not follow up on this comment,... though few will even see it. I thank you for listening to my perspective, with peace and love

She sounds like she's crying in the beginning.

[@Katc78]

Ooooh, the quivery vibrato thing just SO doesn't work in this song! Bjork is humble and cool but she's probably squirming inside... The only thing I like is the way she hits the note on "e-mo-tional", that's quite nice.

[@felixmarques]

Y'all need to stop projecting your limited taste on Björk. Most of you literally don't even like most of the music she likes to begin with.

[@Katc78]

@@felixmarques wtf does her taste have to do with ours? No one is projecting. It’s just an opinion. Musical taste is subjective. And your presumption about other people’s taste being limited is incredibly naive. What do you know about Bjork’s taste or that of the random people commenting? Unless you are one of her inner circle, this is a bs comment.

[@greatwesternsky]

If I were Bjork I would be absolutely thrilled. She did an amazing job and it was a stunning arrangment.

[@MsLoonatik]

I'll have to politely disagree. this is one of bjorks most raw and emotional songs and ane brings a soft vulnerability to it that matches the intention behind the beautiful lyrics. it literally says state of emergency and if you've not been at a point of your life where you feel time is at an all time stand still and you can hardly speak, then maybe this won't resonate. bjork clearly loved this cover imo

[@animalcol1]

@Nautilus blue squirming with joy maybe. It was an unbelievable version of an epic song. I adore the vulnerability Ane brought to this version. Bjork is almost in tears at the end (if you've seen the full performance you'll know what I mean). Ane became the lyrics on this. Hauntingly beautiful 💛

[@SG-zz1yf]

D'où le principe d'une reprise ;) si c'est pour reproduire le même son que Bjork, autant qu'elle-même monte directement sur scène non ? D'ailleurs, vu le regard rempli d'émotion qu'on peut voir sur son visage à la fin de l'interprétation d'Ane Brun, on peut voir qu'elle a profondément apprécié.
