4:12 She says "öll keðjan sekkur" which means "the whole chain (or links) sinks" Then after she says "taktu eftir ástin, þjáningin er búin, öll búin" Which means "Taking notice sweetheart, the suffering is over, all over" Ástin is such a nice word "ást" means love in icelandic and "ástin" is a word that is said to a loved one, usually by mothers to their child, thats also the way she says it in the song, like she is talking to her child. Such a nice song, it always melts my heart
I have been through so much pressure until yesterday, and now it's all over. This song always heals me from all the stressful and dificult moments. So when I read the meaning of "taktu eftir ástin, þjáningin er búin, öll búin" I started crying all over again... It elevates all the meaning this song has to me, so thank you very much for this. However, I keep trying to somehow understand the meaning of what she started singing at 3:35. I would love to know.
This is my #1 favorite live performance. To me, the first time I saw this whole concert it was a religious experience. Second and Third favorite concert albums are Portishead live in Roseland NY; and the Talking Heads “Stop Making Sense”. But I also loved Voltaic; and Biophilia.
@@lazybelphegore6748 I like portishead too. Third is a cracking album. I havent seen them live I'll check them out. I also really love bjork Iive in cambridge 1998 it's not quite as good as this because there are no songs from Vespertine. This concert brings tears to my eyes and I've seen it many times.
this song calms me down in the most real way. it understands without being preachy. it's beyond perfect and sublime.. i listen to this when i'm freaking out about having to do something epicly important... "it's not meant to be a strife" is such a nice reminder of the way things in the natural world operate around us. "you're trying too hard. surrender".. such simple elegance.
+ovhni Yes, this song hits me like a wave and never fails to make me emotional. I listen to it outside in a snowfall and the stillness is magnified and the cold becomes clear, meditative and disarming. We are often taught to "hold on" all the time in life, and this song says, "let go." I love how receptive this song is... I was thinking before, I would gladly "go" to this song.
the opening lines to this song made me cry on several occasions. I have no problem admitting that---this song is as stunning as it is beautiful , and contains the most kindest and caring messages of hope ever given to mankind and woman kind alike. Thank you Bjork , I truly love you ....
Vespertine tour is probably my favorite iteration of Björk live, the Greenland chorus and live strings were amazing and on top of that feaking Matmos supporting the show.
I had very hard and sad times when I was 15, and especially the last lyrics of this song always allowed for a release of emotion, from a place where I otherwise felt so little I hurt myself to feel. So "if you're bleeding, undo, if you're sweating, undo, if you're crying darling, undo," those words always allowed me to feel something.
I love how the trombone stands out in the end of the climax, it's so epic... The live version of Undo is probably the best arrangements; I can't wait to hear a recording of the arrangements for the current tour!
sometimes while i watch this performances (live) my tears just go out from my eyes, i can't contain, a few days for the presentation of Bjork in Mexico, its my first time, i can't wait very excited
Oh-I finally understand the significance of the outfit she’s wearing in the first half. “Bjork” means Birch in Icelandic. Her pants and boots look like Birch Tree bark; and her dress is made of paper that also resembles Birch bark.
Same here .can't describe the Gorgeous, graceful, inspiring Power of this Bjork song..It got me thru Alot of hard times..Probly fav from her..Vespertine is the shitzo! Just wish she sang the really hi note on "Darling-Undo" at the end..like orign vrsn..❤️👍still profoundly sublime .."Ooahhwahh"😉
I had the same wish for over 25 years and the dream came true yesterday. I thougt i would be overy excited and jump around, but I could only sit quietly and tears came out just endlessly. It didnt feel like a concert but a ceremony...
Watched the movie once...ripped my heart out...had to take a long walk after the movie to deal with the emotions...Saint Selma...Bjork is one of the greatest artists ever, either in front of a mike or a camera...bought Dancer in the Dark recently out of sheer respect although I will need a lot of courage watching it again someday...may never watch it again, and it will be my favorite movie of all time...tremendous selfless love and sacrifice...Saint Selma.
I often cry for the poor people of Chechnya ---they have been through so much...and i want all of them to know that i love them and love their spirit...God and religion to me are intertwined with compassion . Figure out what compassion is and you will also figure out the very nature of that which is called God. That is all ,thank you good night and God bless Bjork (..and all peoples of Chechnya)
Extraordinary piece of music. Though I prefer how the Studio version puts her to the back a bit more, so you can hear the arrangement & choir much more.
this is for sure the type of song a person can come to after a hard day and find a warm peace (of the kindness kind...! ) it's in that way that music is so powerful, calming and healing .... where would we all be on this planet without music your guess is as good as mine .... i have nothing but total respect for Bjork perhaps people get sick of reading my unending comments about Bjork but what can i say? i absolutely adore her so i am sorry if i have pissed people off ...
Woke up one morning in very early spring time of 1987.Was waiting my turn in the kitchen, while children and mothers were using the kitchen .Staring at the floor is clarity of sight space for the first time! What a blast! Realised there and then who had that same clarity,in my life. So when I came across these people I knew, of like mindedness ...there was no solidarity.NZ. Felt like a stranger in astrange land.When I found myself in Oz, had no compulsion to go back....There was a woman in NZ I’d had relations with before Australia.If I was wise then like I am now,I would have stayed with her...There is nothing else like her....
4:30 i. You're in the middle of the ocean and you were caught in this unforgiving storm that made you miserable, and 4:30 is the moment the storm ends. Still you don't want to believe something good would happen to you just like you didn't believe something as bad as that storm would have happened to you before it happened. But they do, both bad and good. You have dignity and the right to feel good so allow yourself to this clear sky, to easy, to good.
@@jose.a9215 she has an extraordinary way of putting these things that are hard to explain to the core of her compositions. Not just lyrics wise but as a whole. Her music captures you by the right place. She always uses these phrases in her songs: trust in it, give yourself in, surrender... I kind of like to think of our emotions as an ocean. When you want to swim the more you struggle, the harder for you to float. You kind of have to let it be. That's the thing about water, you cannot fight with it, it is already trying to carry you. Life is like that too. Don't try to fight life. We don't swim we just live and the more we struggle to stay floated, the easier we drown... We should do something when things moves us like this song does. It's great to know there is a person somewhere that comes to this performance at last. :)
4:12

Thank you so much for this. This song means so much to me! Björk will forever live on.
thank-you for this :)

The ending of this performance always brings me to tears. So beautiful.
And if you're bleeeeding, darling 😭
@@pearlas6943 that “darling” makes it epic and untenable
Me too. And I’m a giant man
Same! I love it❤ wish it went on a bit longer
She’s like the older sister we never had... Love her so much.
This royal opera house performance is the greatest live film I've ever seen. It's magical. Bjork was at her peak here.

Riverside Church performance is also very good😊👍❤️🇬🇧
Riverside Church was Magic 1.0
she can make me cry like no one does

Same here, dude! I listen to this song whenever I'm feeling overwhelmed.
It truly does
יע
this is heaven in youtube
It is not meant to be a strife
It is not meant to be a struggle uphill
Bu bir çekişme değil
Bu zorlu bir uğraş demek değil
Cok haklisin abi
This is one of those special live performances that the mainstream doesn't really know about that stays with you forever.
This song is like the beautiful dissolution of the body to give way to the gentle release of the soul within...

My heart can't take it after 3:30; always brings me to tears
I feel blessed to live in the same time period as this amazing woman
So true
Truly one of the most beautiful songs of all time.
X2 🥺
The last minutes has always been my favorite part of this song
I used to not think there was such a thing as perfection. Having watched this performance over and over these past years, I believe I've found it.
It (the ending) always brings me to tears as well.
Vespertine tour is probably my favorite iteration of Björk live, the Greenland chorus and live strings were amazing and on top of that feaking Matmos supporting the show.
Is it possible to listen to this version without tearing up with hope?
I had very hard and sad times when I was 15, and especially the last lyrics of this song always allowed for a release of emotion, from a place where I otherwise felt so little I hurt myself to feel. So "if you're bleeding, undo, if you're sweating, undo, if you're crying darling, undo," those words always allowed me to feel something.
One of the Most beautiful things I’ve ever heard
I love how the trombone stands out in the end of the climax, it's so epic...
The live version of Undo is probably the best arrangements; I can't wait to hear a recording of the arrangements for the current tour!
11 years :O
12 years :0
This is music of redemption
❤
14 years :0
Orchestration (especially strings) in this song is so beautiful I am speechless. Pure art, beauty and perfection.
This has to be one of the most beautiful performances ive ever seen. The entire Royal Opera performance blesses ur ears
Bjork has lots of wisdom.
Her lyrics resonate with truth. It's not meant to be a struggle uphill.
You're trying too hard.
Surrender.
Her boots are fucking ace!
Wow! Just wow!! I just quit my job because my boss was verbally abusive and I needed this!
Music like this keeps me breathing and alive, the comedy and tragedy that life is, everyone should discover this..
This almost makes me believe in God.
I have never read such a comment to which there's nothing to add...
XD
God IS REAL !!!!!! NOT ALL MOST .THE ALL MIGHTY!!!!!!
shut up Gary
Unexpectedly its true
So Beautiful...that it almost hurts.
sometimes while i watch this performances (live) my tears just go out from my eyes, i can't contain, a few days for the presentation of Bjork in Mexico, its my first time, i can't wait very excited
Jesus Montemayor if you’re crying, darling, undo
By far one of the most beautifullest performances I've ever seen in my life.
Proof that Heaven exists and it’s pure Love.
this song feels like a warm, comforting hug
Oh-I finally understand the significance of the outfit she’s wearing in the first half. “Bjork” means Birch in Icelandic. Her pants and boots look like Birch Tree bark; and her dress is made of paper that also resembles Birch bark.
She is from another world.
Royal Opéra House DVD verspertine super moment, fabulouse Björk
everything about this perfomance is perfect... heaven encapsulated
Incredible. This concert is a gem. This one sends chills up my spine and gives me goosebumps.
The ending is absolutely breathe taking..
Is it only me but most of Björk's live performances brings me to tears.
Same

I long for the day to see this beautiful being in concert. Her performance is amazing as always
I had the same wish for over 25 years and the dream came true yesterday. I thougt i would be overy excited and jump around, but I could only sit quietly and tears came out just endlessly. It didnt feel like a concert but a ceremony...
When Pop becomes Art
undo the pain
i wish i could experience this live
I love the chorus!
One of my life's goals is to see her in concert. I must before I die....
omg dude, I am overcome with the feels. chills all up my body
This really makes me melt into the divine feminine of the universe. Wow!

It's not meant to be a struggle uphill. Thanks Bjork.
Extraordinary piece of music. Though I prefer how the Studio version puts her to the back a bit more, so you can hear the arrangement & choir much more.
She is so cute, so beautiful.
Pure Joy
One of my favorites ever. I hope everyone finds this
I watch this repeatedly, hopelessly desiring to become this through osmosis
