Bjork - Hyperballad live HQ

[@emilypigott6385]

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. 💗🙏🏻

[@yanu7414]

Emily Solberg Bono n pj Harvey were there as well? So u got the tickets for free?

[@emilypigott6385]

Yanu Not free, but free upgrade by a nice lady on the phone. Yep, it was super cool to see Bono & PJ Harvey a few rows back and at intermission. I didn’t realize Bono was so short! 😊

[@thalesm4056]

I never could imagine there were so many artist there aswell. Now nothing take off of my mind that could be so many artists right there just like beyonce, timbaland, and madonna. Its a good thought about bjork recognition even that may be a hypothetical one.

@118060184418100742961 the guys are Matmos, they are like super skilled with electronics:) probably a part why this tour (and the subsequent Greatest Hist tour which they were on as well) was so good, all the programming and effects were perfect, some even done live. and yeah, I think Hyperballad has better live version than the studio one. btw I love how Björk seems to approve of the beat change 3:18 ;))

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.

Cada cierto tiempo vengo a escucharla, desde hace muchos años. Esta vez, después de salir de mi sesión de terapia fue lo primero que quise escuchar.

[@BjorksMusic]

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."

[@watermeloncea_1474]

Hi miss Bjork, im from the Philippines, ive been listening to your craft plenty of times, you realy got a distinctive voice, and i realy liked it, kinda like tickles my bones.

[@osklibo7884]

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)

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

[@yuriination]

I saw Tricky play once... when the show started all the lights went out... all you could see were the rack mount lights and throughout the entirety of the show it stayed like that, with only the occasional raising and lowering of 3 or 4 very very, barely noticable red lights along the floor 9f the stage. All you heard was his voice and the band. Your other senses were overpowered by the darkness and the sound. It was the most amazing show I never saw...but heard.

[@hudsonquay]

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

[@rospoho]

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

@3:13 @3:15 @3:19 Shes such a phenomenal musician. I'm surprised no one has noticed nor mentioned this, but throughout her singing, she's making sure the rest of the musicians are okay. You can see her walk around to each person and sneak a peak to them, then around 2:00, she gets into positon she begins to sing. From that point on you can see how happy she gets based off of each musical instrument execution. And at 3:23, I think she even giggled/chuckled at the entire thing. So beautiful.
