Björk - Pagan Poetry - solo fingerstyle guitar

[@zurichsee706]

One like is surely from Björk

[@Stefarooh]

Amazing - You really did Pagan Poetry justice

[@adaharrisonn]

I cant imagine a harder song to play than this, particularly with the arrangement hes gone with here, all on one instrument at the same time. My god. What a virtuoso. Amazing.

[@TreyBruton]

the 'swirling black lillies, totally ripe' part even during the main part is quite literally the best guitarwork i've ever seen from anyone. thank you so much for this

[@adolpholiverbush2]

I've never heard the genius of Bjork so very well done. This brought me to tears, and not just a few. Unbelievable.

[@adolpholiverbush2]

And I must add.......leave it to an ITALIAN to turn an Icelandic fairy/Mozart's music into something even more incredible. Much love from the USA (Kentucky, Muhlenberg County, home of fingerpicker Merle Travis).

[@guilhermeamado4010]

I found this video last year and lost count of how many times I've listened to it while cooking, studying or just looking out the window. Every now and then I think about it and come back to hear it once more, and it's just as memorable and emotional as the first time. Truly one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard.

[@guilhermeamado4010]

Two months later and I'm coming down from an acid trip listening to this yet again. This song (and this version) means so much to me.

[@explosionof9]

I'm literally in the kitchen right now lol

[@приветмир-к5х]

@@explosionof9 lmao this song in fingerstyle guitar sounds perfect for kitchen / food related stuff

[@MarcusVinicius-ft9ll]

"Sorry, no piercing!" Hahaha That was an incredible arrangement. Thank you.

[@mauraxe]

Thank you! I'm starting to think piercing would be less painful than writing and learning this arrangement... :-)

[@philfairbanksdotcom]

@@mauraxe the harmonics throughout and how the rhythm gives the almost illusion of two guitars playing at once is killing me lol. Like listening to Richard Thompson Vincent 1952 going "ok, but where's he hiding the other guitar and guitar player" lol.

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

to put this complex song structure into one instrument is just marvellous.

[@gerardoaguayozamorano6211]

I come back to this video at least twice a month...

[@slowseph8261]

This is so beautiful. I really hope that Björk got to watch this.

[@andreaordway5024]

Hearing this instrumental, just clarifies how people compare Björks voice to an instrument.

[@bobbyf640]

May you always be in good health sir and keep doing things you love

[@mauraxe]

Thank you!

[@joshwithguitarinhand]

Finally somebody did it! I appreciate your accuracy for Bjork's phrasing.

[@mauraxe]

Thank you! Phrasing was indeed the hardest part...

[@J9NUARY]

I completed my diploma in acoustic guitar 2 years ago now, and seeing this video makes me wish I was doing it all over again but with this is the discography. This arrangement is so faithful to the original song and so moving. Brilliant stuff.

[@ac7301]

This is wonderful. Really well done. I normally don't like "covers" of Björk's songs as they're never really satisfying, but this is beyond beautiful.

[@samehhamdan5704]

I always come back to hear this masterpiece ♡

[@nadezhdadimitrova4042]

Me too.

[@WelcomeToMyDream]

@@nadezhdadimitrova4042 Me too, for years now. So beautiful.

[@larissamoraes9459]

i’ve been watching this video for 6 years. The feeling never changes. Amazing ❤

Pedalling through The dark currents I find an accurate copy A blueprint of the pleasure in me (Swirling black lilies totally ripe) A secret code carved A secret code carved (Swirling black lilies totally ripe) He offers a handshake Crooked five fingers They form a pattern Yet to be matched On the surface simplicity (Swirling black lilies totally ripe) But the darkest pit in me Is pagan poetry (Swirling black lilies totally ripe) Pagan poetry Morse coding signals (signals) They pulsate (They wake me up) They wake me up (Pulsate) From my hibernating On the surface simplicity (Swirling black lilies totally ripe) But the darkest pit in me And it's pagan poetry (Swirling black lilies totally ripe) Pagan poetry (Swirling black lilies totally ripe) I love him, I love him I love him, I love him I love him, I love him I love him, I love him, I She loves him, she loves him (This time) She loves him, she loves him (I'm gonna keep it to myself) She loves him, she loves him (This time) She loves him, she loves him She loves him, she loves him (I'm gonna keep me all to myself) She loves him, she loves him She loves him, she loves him (But he makes me want to hand myself over) She loves him, she loves him She loves him, she loves him She loves him, she loves him (But he makes me want to hand myself over) She loves him, she loves him She loves him, she loves him ---- Bjork Gudmundsdottir

[@Viktorija7293]

Браво! За такие песни единицы берутся

[@wolfil8019]

Bjork's "Pagan Poetry" is one of my favorite love songs ever, and what you do with it on the guitar is a true tribute. Utterly beautiful. It brought me to tears. Thank you!

[@bentusi83]

That was magical! You've managed to translate and recreate all of the original's complexity to guitar. Nothing is missing. I love it! Thank you!

[@fernandorinaldi2367]

Wow! This video is from 2014 but I have just seen it now! It's a perfect and beautiful arrangement from Bjork's song! Thank you for all your effort doing this!

[@Bahadir2023]

wow.... i have always loved this song and the emotions it carries. you have done an amazing job with this arrangement and performance.

[@isabeau82]

What this was really special!!!!❤

[@gillfortytwo]

I think I found this arrangement when it was fairly recent. It's still my favorite arrangement of such a beautiful song. Thank you for your work.

[@lareverie8285]

❤ the fact that you captured her growl at 2:00, perfection

[@huhuruz77]

I wonder if Bjork saw this version... Congrats !!!

[@mauraxe]

She didn't sue me, so maybe she didn't see it... Just joking! Thank you!

[@framos8181]

Maurizio Parri Bjork needs to see your video...

[@Secret4u2hear]

ohh wow... 🥺❤🙏🏼🕊 All really is full of love ❤. Breathtaking & still so emotional

[@ghostofyeats]

I love this! I love how you glide from voice to voice, while keeping that driving bass drive. It's more toned down compared to the original, but it captures the essential quality of intimacy and breathlessness. It's beautiful.

[@Jake-io1vu]

This never gets old.

[@giulianaguimaraes8154]

I always come back to hear this ❤️ since 2015

[@crying2emoji5]

I am completely gobsmacked!! This is phenomenal!

[@fauxsuede4453]

Imagine Björk singing on this amazing arrangement. This is breathtaking sir. Greetings from Turkey.

[@scapeus8862]

to play a song this complicated on a single guitar you have to be a musician.i applaud, sir

[@s.0phhh]

I'm completely blown away, that was INSANE.

[@forestgreen9002]

This is perhaps the greatest piece of music I've ever gotten a chance to listen to. So incredible.

[@anartistsrendition4386]

I agree with some of the other comments. What a version of a all ready powerful song.

[@michaelwasmund8405]

One of the best Bjork covers/interpretations/arrangements I've heard or seen. Amazing.

[@duskprofound4680]

after all these years still this performance has a unique touch in me equivalent of the original song. If the original song is the piercing pain of agony your performance is the romantic soothing caress of this pain . from time to time i come back to watch this . thank you very much

[@teaserfarmgirl]

I keep coming back to this video, it's SO BEAUTIFUL!

[@applejackpho]

I know you don't need to hear this from me, but wow. Wow. You are amazing.

[@ELBADKING]

Una de mi canciones favoritas de Björk, una oda a la sexualidad, había escuchado otras versiones, pero esta sin lugar a dudas me deleito. ¡Felicidades! y continúe siempre con este arte que es la música. ¡Saludos desde México!

[@cesarJ0]

I hope Bjork sees this video. It's amazing! Congrats

[@viviparoplacentario2847]

[@AdditonTV]

Awesome! Really its incredible how you can play all the chords including the vocals at once! i shared this on twitter its awesome

[@mauraxe]

Thank you for the kind words and for sharing! Actually, I've spent a lot of time trying to get this arrangement right, so I really appreciate your comment!

[@rodriguezy1913]

This sounds like the unveiling of an intricate mystery

[@wbarreguy]

Whoa. You went so far into the deep layers of this track and represented them masterfully. Absolutely fantastic.

[@loversrebel]

you continued to give the song so much spirit. i would be proud and flattered if i was bjork

[@Candyrock15]

This is so nice. I'm listening to this as I'm studying and it really puts me in the zone, y'know? Thank so you much for sharing your talent with us.

Hermoso arreglo de una canción increíblemente interpretada por la tremenda voz de Björk, al escucharla pude sentir la misma emoción de la primera vez que la escuche de su viva voz, gracias Maestro Maurizio

[@julianarose6989]

Rare that a cover draws me in on a song that already has so much sentimental value. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@eatingmoose]

I don’t listen to bjork much these days anymore, but I still come back and listen to you play this song from time to time. Thank you for capturing something so beautiful.

[@MOUMOUK]

How is that even possible :) You are really a talented and hardworking person thank you for sharing
