Björk - Prayer Of The Heart/The Jesus Prayer - Music Video

[@joewhiteside]

This is spiritually healing to listen to for me. Bjork has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard and it means so much for me when I hear that beauty being directed to God (even if she maybe wasn't herself).

[@BjorksMusic]

Composer John Tavener has actually written a piece for you and you’ve collaborated with him.(Prayer Of The Heart). Bjork: "Yeah, I almost blush. I think it might have been Brodsky’s idea, or something - Brodsky’s Quartet [sic], which I was working with a lot, and I was telling them how much I liked this piece. And they were saying, ’Oh, why don’t we just ask him’, and I was like [sharp intake of breath] - you don’t just do that, you know - and so, yeah, we recorded it - it’s not out yet - it’s a prayer of the heart ; he based it on a monk he saw in India that had been meditating for so long that his body was dead and they were going to bury him or something, but then they figured out that he was in such a euphoric state that his body didn’t matter any more. And he based a piece on that, so it’s very, very pure." - And you just sang it ? Or did you contribute more than that ? Bjork: "I just sang it. But it was incredible for me, something I’ve never experienced before, that someone who’s obviously a good composer would check out my range, my vocal range." - So he’d listen to your records ? Bjork: "Yeah, and he had to work out - I felt like a gun in somebody’s hand - he had to work out my range, what I could do, and then just threw this song through me. And you’re just like a tool." - And was it what you’d expected ? Bjork: "Yeah, I guess it was already fifty times more than I already had dreamed of, the whole thing was quite magical…we would spend some times together and have some dinners…he’s really into some pretty full-on debates about the small things in life, like death and religion and love."

A lovely video to accompany this stunning composition by John Tavener and the beautifully sensitive yet intense performance by Bjork. Thank you. Thank you also to the early Christians for this blessed prayer.

I wish more celebrities would celebrate Christ.

[@thomaskreisel5764]

Kanye does :D

[@jasminflowerz1710]

I like that Depeche Mode has a song about your *Personal Jesus* .

[@Hawijack]

I wish more Christians would celebrate Christ instead of follow the antichrist Trump.

@@Hawijack most christians arent even american. Thats a tiny tiny percentage of christians.

[@sharryp1185]

Is there any chance of having the english lyrics

[@kaybrown4010]

sharry p Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me.

[@joaniewaller6504]

she did at the end

[@INNATEHUMAN]

the pray to claim the free gift of Salvation, is called the sinners pray in N. Ireland (and other european countries). but what does the sinners pray and this vid have in common? i dont understand. bjork speaks at the start in a different lingo? please explain.

[@BjorksMusic]

Bjork sings in Greek and then in English but in both she says the same thing. Prayer of the heart is also called the Jesus Prayer as well as the sinners prayer.

[@INNATEHUMAN]

is she a Christian?

[@BjorksMusic]

INNATEHUMAN In an interview she said when she was younger she was convinced she was an atheist but as she grew older and matured she found that she has religion and it's nature. But in her lyrics she speaks of praying and in Biophilia she speaks about a Creator of the Universe so maybe she believes in God.

[@BjorksMusic]

Also the song 'Cosmonogy' speaks about Heaven. If she believes in Heaven she may believe in God.

[@INNATEHUMAN]

BjorksMusic really?

[@INNATEHUMAN]

is bjork a Christian?

[@nikolapirovski184]

If she sings that from the hearth she is more christian that some other baptized people that I know

[@arialjanny]

Nope.

[@natalijaasbjornsen8827]

No, but I hope Christ will reveal Himself to her. I pray for her

[@RyanVoorhies]

@@natalijaasbjornsen8827I find she’s always had Christ consciousness through her art. She reclaimed being an atheist around the release of Fossora, though.

[@natalijaasbjornsen8827]

@@RyanVoorhies yes, 😢 sad.

[@LuanHenriquee16]

I thought Björk was an atheist

[@nik8099]

She is. You can sing religious songs without believing in them.

[@estrellitaroja101]

i dont like it
