Music playing in the background, finally realized how annoyed I was and then flipped over to RP app...what a shock.  Bjork.  Blargh.

still on a cloud ..ok, it's fading.. nice. I'm back. If you like surprises like this you might want to checkout Gling Glo (the album). - Jazz standards sung in Icelandic. One track in english. Unusual like Bjork, and so fascinating.

I could use some help here: I only know for SURE what I heard is not the original from HOMOGENIC...
Now, is it a version by Björk or a remix???
...not finding this adds a lot of value to the real thing... I'm worshipping björk, so I'm asking ;)

I love Bjork. This is a really nice song. Giving it a 7 for now. Thanks RP for playing such a diverse cross-section of amazing music...I've heard quite a stunning mix this morning! Bjork fits right in with the eclectica!

That's a nice try, but probably fails as the 'o' has an umlaut over it so probably sounds like a flattened 'o', more 'byerk' than 'byork'. Not that I know owt about Icelandic, but that's the pronunciation I've heard watching Scandinavian crime series on TV. I'm sure that native Scandinavians on RP, of whom there are quite a few, could tell us how Björk is pronounced.

 
I'm not a native Scandi but I have been living in Norway for a good few years now & yes - in Norwegian at least - Björk is spelt Bjørk and the ø is pronounced like this: pucker up like you're gonna say "oooh" but instead say "ehhhh" (don't unpucker!) And yes the J is pronounced like an English Y

And in relation to johnjconn Q: What's under the moss on a tree?  A: Bjork - actually not too far removed from the truth.. Bjørk actually means Birch ;-)

Definitely! I love the way this song builds. She has an amazing voice and, unlike many other vocalists male and female, isn't afraid to use it and go all out.

I love this song and the video.  To me, it's a message....that even when you feel like unloved, worthless crap, the reality is that LOVE is there. LOVE is inside. That's why in the video, she appears to be getting it on (about to make love) with a replica of herself.  So the message is, if you really look, love is there, everywhere.

Lyric and smooth.  I've never been a Bjork fan.  But I bought this one.  Maybe this fits my style better than her others.  Thanks RP.

Following on from the Deep Forest "Ewok" music.... does Bjork fit in that too?

Notwithstanding the lighthearted banter, a good track from an excellent and singular artist.

My only quibble is that none of the instruments sound real, at least not the bass or drums.  I think this tune is strong enough to stand up as is, but how much better it would be if she had had a real drummer and bass player!  I'm not fundamentalist about this issue, as some people are.  This song is an example of why.  It can be done, and done well, without real instruments, but I'll never understand why so many artists make that choice. 

The original album version is less "electronic" than this video version. But in the matter of this robotic love which was shown in the video, that synthetic, but still warm and beautiful sound makes way more sense. I prefer the electronic-version for myself. Overall i like all of bjorks electro-tracks. Especially from the "Vespertine"-Album.
