He's in heaven! 🎵 BJORK - Hyperballad REACTION

[@Johnny_Socko]

When I started watching this channel, the one thing I *NEVER* would have predicted was that Brad would become a Bjork superfan. This is the best possible outcome. lol

[@RSpracticalshooting]

For real though, of all the artists for Brad to really vibe with I'd have never picked Bjork in a million years. It's awesome

[@timpindar]

@@RSpracticalshooting yes exactly!

[@willfromyadkinville]

@@RSpracticalshooting for real this is bliss!

[@tralfamadorian3081]

Haha yeah that's true

[@johnnyskinwalker4095]

🤣 really insane

[@GhostlyEcheveria]

The giant smile on Brad's face the entire song is everything! I don't think he frowned once. lmao. This is the Bjork I was hoping you would get a chance to experience. Her music is a journey that is constantly morphing and evolving.

[@klaptongroovemaster]

It is fascinating to hear Brad wax poetic describing sound for once instead of Lex.

[@thebeatnumber]

And the album _Post_ is a gem. Isobel is my favourite from it. I think they should react to Isobel next.

[@jumpjet777]

Oh! Oh! ....... Alanis Morissette is getting jealous of Brad's new flame

[@chadUCSD]

Headphones is an awesome song. Think it's from same album as Hyperballed. All in all an amazing album. 90s music was some rhe best.

[@robpeterson2585]

Bjork is indeed “ear candy” as Brad says. I’m usually in agreement with Lex. But I’m surprised that Brad got this one. I’ve been wondering what sort of music would speak to him. Is see now that he appreciates genius.

[@AlexNinjasXxXx]

Perfectly put. I was delightfully surprised. I can't ever not smile listening to her

[@shanitaube]

This Bjork crush you have is everything!!! I agree with every word!

[@andreasrehn7454]

Having the same crush on her since her debut album...

[@lawrencegough]

Brad’s love for Björk is so charming! He has got to see her live. Lexi will get there too, eventually.

[@davidsharples1980]

Björk is a legit genius. Artists that have their own genre are Bowie, Björk and Kate Bush.

[@PaGaNism]

And Peter Gabriel

[@si45megamera]

And Arca

[@gxngy6612]

And lana del rey. But Björk is on a whole new level of unique

Like Kate Bush, Bjork is her own genre.

[@willfromyadkinville]

i love that you put those to together! i love them both!

[@stubbzzz]

I always tell people that Kate Bush sounds like if Bjork and Peter Gabriel had a baby

[@DaWease]

all i can say to that is Absofuckinglutely.

[@joesmith8725]

Kate Bush is one of her biggest influences.

[@LS-pe1rr]

totally. if i had to name it, i would call it.... "pop"

[@Lexy-O]

I met Bjork before a concert of hers when she came up to me in line. She was a trip. Really nice and uninhibited.

[@Lexy-O]

Back when she was in a band called Sugarcubes

[@squirrelorama]

@@Lexy-O Lucky!!! I'm jealous 😅

[@ijustneedmyself]

I saw her once in NYC at a music store. I couldn't believe she was just hanging around us normies.

[@mrBooker78]

As an icelander im so glad that you listen to this era Björk... Its the best... Enjoy Brad.... You saying ear candy is on point....

[@njg247]

Wow, I love your reactions to Bjork. It's a joy to see you discovering her immense talent and creativity. I'm so glad you're taking it in the way it deserves to be. So many more tunes to discover from her.

[@raoulduke8382]

The thing about Bjork, (specifically the first 3 or 4 albums), is she would create all the loops and beats (mostly) on her own. She wasn't just a really unique singer with a magical voice, singing lyrics... she created the entire soundscapes from what she heard in her head, and filled them beyond capacity with emotion, honesty, passion, and a complete disregard for what anyone might think or say about her many "odd or strange" nuances, because to her, she was just being completely truthful and sincere to herself. Which is what the best artists should always aspire to be. Passion and honesty resonates.

[@MisterHPlays]

Yes her sincerity adds so much to her musical talent! Her love songs hit in ways very few other love songs do.

[@tsalvlaxitov9594]

Bjork doesn't do anything "mostly on her own" until the 5th album.

[@wadsworthaaron]

Bjork is an artist that didn't really accept any labels (even "avante garde"). She followed her bliss and let us follow along.

[@Dinosaurs_with_laser_guns]

She’s totally unique that’s for sure!

[@raymo6795]

...yeah, she is unusual, always has been....this reminds me of the Sugarcubes stuff

[@misterno-ice-guy8082]

The Sugarcubes broke up BECAUSE they kept getting huge money record contract deals

[@brianduffens2803]

I know how to get Lex to meet Brad in the middle. Go back to the days Bjork was the lead singer for a band called the Sugarcubes (1980's). Their music was more like pop but still had a lot of Bjork's quirky essence. So, take a listen to the following Sugarcubes songs: Motorcrash, Cold Sweat, Birthday, or Hit.

[@steviekc9057]

HIT is a big YES!!

[@dropthehammer1360]

Birthday and Coldsweat are really good songs!

[@garydodd2837]

ive heard of the Sugar Cubes but never heard there music..im sure it was cool with Bjork involved.

[@keithevans9544]

Go back to Kukl,I liked sugercubes,but Kukl was my personal gateway.

[@caro2233]

not to forget KuKL!

[@r2aul]

HILARIOUS!!!! I KNEW Brad was gonna love Bjork's diction. But then he asks Lex and she like, "Fine. Everything's fine." When it's clearly not. Hahaha Best show on tv!

[@yanerd5626]

Yaassss. MORE Bjork. I absolutely love her

[@seanyer23]

This is a very comical reaction from these two. I laughed a good deal. These two are just great together and I always enjoy their reactions. But it is funny to see Lex lost for once.

[@neilfinch1330]

I love Brad's reaction to Bjork.... she is a genius and you have so many more songs of hers to enjoy... each one is very unique and each one will have you smiling all the way through.

[@benjaminwyatt3778]

One of the most underrated songs of all time

[@MM-il4hb]

I appreciate you guys so much for doing this. This song means so much to me and she's incredible. Her lyrics are out of this world!!!!! And oh listen to some live versions!!!

[@jackkelly2620]

I think Brad would love her song IT'S OH SO QUIET. 🤫

[@KSterling32]

Yes. My brother enjoyed Army of Me

[@brianeharmonjr]

Ear gymnastics is a pretty damn good description of the experience of hearing Bjork for the first time. A great song to start with too!

[@bschuler6216]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was someone who strongly recommended this in the comments of your 1st Bjork reaction! This song always really moves me. It's a PERFECT song to start your day. Just finished actually watching this, and Brad's reaction is AWESOME. Great video. Play this more! I bought the single (with a bunch if different remixes, but the original radio cut is perfect, and can't be improved, lol).

[@rogersimpson8871]

For Brad: There is a Jools Holland performance of hyper ballad complete with orchestra. It's mesmerizing. It's here on KZbin.

[@Bunke09]

I just remember 22 year old me when this album came out feeling so connected to the music from this wild Islandic woman.

[@bassage13]

Icelandic.

[@garysmith3037]

Brad's love for female singers with unique vocals and styles is relatable. I like a lot of various types of music and songs, but there is just something about alternative female singers they just draws me in. I also love how perplexed Lex is to see Brad so enthusiastic about these singers, it's like she is finding out about a new side to him.

[@DivaInTheWoods]

Lex, you cracked me up at 5:46! I am so much like her. I don't always connect with a song on my first listen. People like us can still appreciate the artistry and are willing to keep listening to understand the intricate details. Brad, I'm glad you found a sound you can embrace!

[@markhill553]

"best gymnastics you've ever seen...in your ear" That was great!

[@georgelynch6139]

Brad smiles, Lex blinks in code ” next song please, please”

[@HRodz-eipx]

LOL!

[@mikedock7235]

Yes brad Gets bjork an amazing artist and one of the most unique artists ever

[@trentmacdonald6283]

This one seemed like opposite of the earlier reactions: now Brad's the one making off the wall musical analogies and metaphors and now Lex isn't really there for it, but reservedly and politely calls it "interesting". love it! And thanks for keeping the music reactions so eclectic. It's what makes you guys a must-watch everyday.

[@amandaschneider9578]

Bjork is so creative and amazing. I was so happy to see you two listening to her. "Earth Intruders" is one of my favorites.

[@swinglow33]

Vocal Athletics, great description on her voice. You’ve got to check out “Birthday” in her group The Sugarcubes. Her voice will blow you away… again.

[@po5283]

I couldn't quite tell if Lex was so shocked by Brad being all smiles and totally digging it, baffled by Bjork's music or a combination of the two. Bjork is definitely one of a kind, a very unique soul and playfully eccentric personality!

[@holgerschink1341]

Amazing and outstanding song from Björk....state of the art.

[@Yowza78]

Check out "Ruby," by Bjork. Very early jazz influenced cover with astral vocals. And also her work with the Sugarcubes.

[@bethanythatsme]

y'all just make me happy thank you from Oregon 🌊🌲

[@tristramcoffin926]

this video is adorable. Brad all about it. Lex forever curious trying to keep up with Brad never imagining he'd like this

[@jjhoffman680]

This made me so happy. You two are so different yet complimentary. I’m a Bjork fan too but hearing Brad’s reasons why he’s a fan are soooo charming! It’s like Lex with Robert Plant!!!! Love you two

[@peaceofpiety]

My All-Time Favorite Musical Composition by A Solo Artist: Hyperballad by Björk Guðmundsdóttir "I 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 be happier, to be safe again with you." The GoodMan's Daughter knows of the Creator, Destroyer, and Hyperman of The Godverses 👐🙏🗣. She sings to us the HyperBallad of the Twin Flame Journey to the Christ Conciousness of Enlightenment ☀️. She knows the Feminine Energy first awakens to the journey, despite the physical appearance of the vessel, we are all given Feminine and Masculine energies as Yin and Yang ☯️. The Feminine energy first has to heal the inner wounds within, to release the pressures and expectations of the outside world; the parts/roles they expect her to play, the bottles that contain the energy in which they prescribe to her to fulfill the role in which she was assigned through affirmitive subconcious labeling, and the cutting words they project when she doesn't do as she is told. She's knows to begin, is to stand upon the peak and throw away the ideas and labels they placed upon her subconcious mind to control her like a puppet. She knows to cut away the negative people, places, and things that made her feel unsafe with her own Masculine energy within the vessel of Self. She knows as long as she feels unsafe with him in her skin, she will continue to feel threatened by Masculine energies in other skins. Once the Feminine energy has healed, and flown atop the mountain like the pheonix rising, then she finally feels safe enough to awaken her Masculine energy to begin his Dragon healing journey. *I've said since childhood, that Björk sings the songs of my heart. Her gospel became to me, one of the keys to reading the map of human existence. With her words as guiding lights, I was able to throw out my car parts, bottles, and cutlery, and whatever lies were told about me. Her music helped to free my Spirit, and allow my Inner Child to shine in it's purest form, like a white swan with poetic pagan wisdom. Thank you, Björk.

[@energymasterjo]

Bjork is the best thing that has been given to us. Thank God she shared her gift

One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. The combination of energetic dance music and emotional vocals is so unique. There's no one like her.

[@motherofteriberry6495]

Driving is a stress reliever for me. I’d put on Bork, Portishead, New Order, Depeche Mode etc etc. Long drive at night does wonders for my psyche.

Bjork would be the female singer of Tool.

[@garydodd2837]

Hey guys, luv the show, big fan from Ireland..im there with u brad, Ear-Candy! thats dope!...i grew up listening to Hip Hop and Rnb but Bjork will always be a special part of it, she is a genius, myself and brother always loved her music and we finally got to see her in Ireland just before Covid, well he saw her at a festival in Germany 10 years ago but still, it was incredible experience to see her live! HyperBalad definitely one my favourites of hers..Lex get on board, what are u doin, u need to deep dive into all her albums, im telling u will be hooked

"what situation do you listen to this in?" my immediate thought was, "ehm, every situation?!" and then brad says exactly that! xD and yes, it's total ear candy. one of my top three björk songs. i like you folks! great music selection. keep on! :)

[@TheMetatron333]

I’m SOOO GLAD they did the video for this one! It’s a must with Bjork videos.

[@Greeny1308]

I know Brad is usually looking for the meaning in the song and Lex enjoys the vibe, so it was pleasing to see Brad just get lost in Bjork's amazing vocals. Also I've never seen this video, it was brilliant. Big time sensuality and Venus as a boy are both great Bjork tracks you should listen to.

[@Frankincensedjb123]

I'm always surprised when real artistry is embraced by the general public. You don't see it often, but something about Bjork's music seems to really reonate with people, a lot more than I imagined. Personally, I love off-the-beaten-path: XTC, Zappa, Talking Heads, Primus, They Might Be Giants, Captain Beefheart, Television, Laurie Anderson, and so many more.

[@PelicanJack]

Brad being 100% into Bjork is a bigger twist than anything M Night Shyamalan could write. Yet, it makes everything before make total sense. The puzzle pieces of Brad have fallen into place.

[@nevillewhateley8467]

Bjork's great. You should react to her songs " big time sensuality" and "Venus as a boy" 🙂

[@vinayjacobjohn533]

I'm not sure if Big Time Sensuality aged that well, but Venus as a Boy is incredible.

[@katherinemurray8841]

Venus as a Boy= How to get away with incredibly sensual)sexual lyrics, whilst still remaining classy. Awesome song!

[@SlowDIIV]

@@vinayjacobjohn533 The version of the album is the one that has aged a lot, but I think The Fluke Minimix (the one in the promotional video), still sounds pretty good.

[@mistabook]

The live version of Venus As a Boy on 120 Minutes is incredible. Sexy and ethereal and completely different from anything else.

[@hampyonce]

I have one thing in common with ya Brad. I have also been mildly obsessed by Bjork at one point in my life. She's very interesting.

[@OwlTeaGames]

Subscribed cos I felt dude feelin it. This album has some of the sickest drum and bass ever. Even modern stuff pulls a lot of flow from the Bjork

[@OwlTeaGames]

At three and a half min, he’s like, “listen to the changes.” She tries, and suddenly when the strings hit, you can see her get pulled in, like, “what the heck is happening to me?” Meanwhile bro vibin out hella

[@MagerialPage]

I'm a huge Bjork fan and Hyperballad is hands down my favorite of her songs. The first time I heard it, it immediately opened my world to electronic as a legit artistic expression. I had primarily been into rock, R&B, pop music before that, and after, it was like I was open and ready for everything. I can't say that any other song or even artist has opened my world the way that Bjork did.

[@Bee-28]

Brad, you got excellent taste! You absolutely must listen to Joga, to me her most beautiful song. And you also should check out the Sugar Cubes, the band she sang in before she went solo. I'm sure you'll love it. I saw them in concert & I am so glad I have these memories, it was great!

[@jaywillingham4085]

Bjork is one of those people who is so intelligent that they almost seem like they belong in a nut house. Not only has she produced like 90% of her own music, from scratch, but also builds her own sounds and sonic frequencies through sound synthesis modules. Oh, and that one time she whooped the paparazzis ass at the airport.

[@squirrelorama]

So true. Every time I watch interviews with her, you can tell she's the smartest person in the room by a long shot. It irritates me in the Sugarcubes interviews because the other band members blather on and talk over her - a lot.

[@Alex.P1]

What I always got from this song was that she wasn’t literally living on the top of a mountain, wondering what it would be like to jump off. But that she was in a relationship which felt safe but she still wondered what her life could be if she ended it and jumped off the metaphorical cliff so to speak.

[@si45megamera]

You gave me insight to a new interpretation, ty❤❤

[@jasonmarquis3027]

What a surprise that you like Björk so much Brad. Makes me happy in a way, because Björk is truly an amazing artist. Being a fan since her first album, I finally took the opportunity to see her perform live and it was as amazing as I always expected it to be. Lex doesn't seem so be a big fan though, haha, but she is a metal head! So am I but I loooove Björk.

[@bradcolorado8149]

Bjork seems like late night session music

[@stack_of_records]

Have seen Björk in 1997 with Mark Bell in a discotheque live. It was mesmerizing. Mark Bell from LFO was a giant of electronic music and techno. A time you still could just party with Bjórk. This song was also on the set, live!!! Was in good company, a night I won't forget ever!!!
