I had an abusive parent and didn't live the happiest of childhoods. Emotions were perceived as a weakness. And then she came and taught me that there's this raw power that emotion can bring, and it was immensely liberating. Coincidentally, it started with the Joga video. I am forever thankful.

[@GabrielCrazyGuy16]

These emotional landscapes are in my mind all the time. I don't care what they mean, I really feel them.

[@deathchips926]

Alexander Supertramp it’s not so much that it evokes imagery, it’s the profound idea that in Bjork’s world emotion is so vast and all-consuming that it’s hard to chalk it all up to passing feelings. It resonated with me and changed the way I thought about how emotion could exist in my internal world. When I enter a new environment, sometimes a novel emotional landscape arises with it. It’s broad and layered.

[@rome8180]

The lyrics for this song are amazing. They were written by the poet Sjon. I wish they had collaborated even more often, because all the lyrics he's written for her are perfect.

It’s still surreal how many years it was *actually* been since she released this album 😂 and yet the nostalgia I feel now is more towards 16 years ago when I felt like the coolest high school kid in southern Texas where only less than.5% of the population knew who bjork was 😅 what an era !!!

Bjork's music improves with time and experience. Having worked with some very experienced colleagues, she is well able to sustain complex and musically challenging material regardless of production conditions. Others need a truck load of electronics and special effects but Bjork re-pitches and adjusts her dynamics to work with a simple string ensemble such as this one. Whereas the studio version of Joga (made at her own studio in Spain) is on an epic/saga scale a great song is a great song. Here it and its creator perform in considerate and respectful concert with other musicians. That is one definition of being a great musician.
