beautiful song. hard to follow the original because Björk sings the hell outta it. so I give props to Robyn for having the balls to do it. NOT an easy song to sing....especially LIVE in front of Björk herself!! it's a tribute to Björk and was performed for her when she was awarded the Polar Music Prize in 2010. CUT HER A LITTLE SLACK! do you think you could better? under those circumstances? hell, NOT under those circumstances. SO many haters in this world. What happened to encouraging others???
She may have sang the "safe up here with you" part as "safe again with you" because 1) She may have spoken about this through with Björk and agreed that it's okay to be changed or 2) She may have been nervous, sang it wrong once and decided to go with it through the rest of the song, not ruining the flow of the song. It still fits the song very well and doesn't change the meaning.
I like "safe again" more because it means the feeling has occured before. Instead of it being a potential first time. When it comes to romance firsts are somewhat ideal but I think when it comes to comfort, repetition is way better. Im sure you could look deeper and each time you look into the abyss we call emotions perhaps another interpretation occurs.
To be fair that is the last thing Björk would care about getting the words 100% right. She probably think its refreshing with changes. Its just arrangement I can't stand of such a beautiful song.
Robyn's cover is amazing. Both Bjork and Robyn are beautiful. I guess everyone has a different understanding to this cover. To me, Robyn's version is just like the beauty of the twinky blinking star in the dark night. Robyn is the girl who can sing pop but makes it so powerful and touching to move everyone like me. If you listen several times of this song, you might find that robyn is a very smart singer who knows how to control her feeling and tell the story.
I totally agree. The reason why I like this version so much is because of how well the music fits the words. The lyrics here are so alarmingly beautiful and haunting. I think the story of this song gets a bit lost in Bjok's more electronic, produced version. I enjoy both, but much prefer this.
Robyn was so amazing! She made a more than Perfect Job and to Sing Björk is just a very very big challenge! Robyn is a True Artist and One of the best musicans I know!!!
Well I’m not at the top of a mountain although I am on my top bunk, headphones on, its dark, my eyes closed, the orchestra do indeed do an outstanding job, I’m simply mesmerized soaking up this beautiful piece of music, credit to both Bjork and Robin.
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)
I actually just downloaded the mp3 from the link in the description box. Sorry, I didn't see it before I posted my comment! Anywhoo, I've been playing this non-stop today!! Love it love it love it! Thank You! Muah!
thanks for editing this song. both versions sound great. cant really compare hers and bjork's as they are just different... but in short, both are really great to me. this version shows me another side of the song. thanks again. its great. (couldnt find other words to describe it due to my poor english. :P)
I've seen the comments before I posted. For the record, I can't find another version like this on the Tube. It's close to what I was searching for. All I can say is thanks! I'm glad someone took the time and effort to do a master of this. It's appreciated. :)
@magnusable Um, where in my video title or description did I claim that it was a studio version? And I have used audio editing software to remove crowd noise, thicken the lead vocals and add clarity to the instrumentals...so by anyone's definition, that is 'mastered' - it may not be the most difficult task I've ever undertaken, but you know what, I took the time to do it. If you have a better version in your possession, why not upload it?
This version, is from a lifetime award ceremony for Bjork, who was in attendance, and a royal family. You can see Robyn sing it live, by searching the song and artists on CZcams .
totally!! :) yes, my observation was an opinion, and as such, everyone has one... I guess I may just have to listen to Robyn's version a few more times, and maybe Ill be able to hear what you do.
@daibhymac youo have done a great job.. its just that people seem to think that this is the studio version... and it isnt... only that... why are you getting affended just because I clarify? You clarify that then! And... take a chill pill!
Wasn't was just part of a live tribute to Bjork? I do like the production on this and I think if bjork had written the song today the production would do as good a job of building the song up as this does, not that the production on the original is bad it's just a little bit dated. Robyn can't really sing this song anywhere near as well as Bjork can and i'm not saying Robyn can't sing because she can but most of Bjork songs are just very difficult to get right. It is a lovely cover though.
You're entitled to your opinion, but I disagree. I think this blows Bjork's out of the water. It's all a question of personal taste, and my taste lends itself to the ethereal, orchestral beauty of this over Bjork's more produced sound. That said, isn't it great that we are all able to have our own views on these things? ;)
I like this version but it drives me nuts that she clearly sings the wrong lyric. It's "Safe up here with you" (as in up here on the mountain). Not "safe again with you".
I know this is a live version and I like some of Robyn's songs, but this doesnt even hold a candle to the original. It seems odd to decide to cover a Bjork song since she is such an amazing singer (Bjork), it really makes it harder to give it justice. Still an ok version though.
I can not agree with that statement. Robyn blew me away with this cover in tribute to Bjork, but Bjork''s original music cannot be matched IMHO. The raw emotion and originality isn't something that can be covered .
😂 nope. This is an awesome cover by Robyn. And I'm liking it very much. But no. Bjork's is still the best. And I think if any other artist do a cover of Hyperballad, it cannot top Bjork's original version. It's so unique.
Reinvention of a masterpiece, becoming a whole new masterpiece again ;)
I really love Bjork, and this is an EXCELLENT cover, done with such emotion and respect. Congrats for Robyn, and for you, for the amazing mastering!

Yes! Total love & respect. Love this performance 👌🏻🤩

Im sure you could look deeper and each time you look into the abyss we call emotions perhaps another interpretation occurs.
I could swear that Björks original also is ”again”. That’s what I’ve been hearing for 25 years 😳😅
To be fair that is the last thing Björk would care about getting the words 100% right. She probably think its refreshing with changes. Its just arrangement I can't stand of such a beautiful song.
I knew this song thanks to Robyn and this is the version I'll keep...Robyn=awesome
One of the most Beautiful songs ever... By Björk but Robyn did the song justice and delivered it straight from the Heart ❤️
love this version
Man.... This is special! Thanks! :)
Why I never stop listening this version?
Because I really love it

Thank you so much! Can't stop listening to this... really... I tried and then came back like 2 1/2 songs later...
Orchestra does an outstanding job
yes ❤
Well I’m not at the top of a mountain although I am on my top bunk, headphones on, its dark, my eyes closed, the orchestra do indeed do an outstanding job, I’m simply mesmerized soaking up this beautiful piece of music, credit to both Bjork and Robin.
Bjork has written one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever with this song.
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)
Thank you 🙏🏻
I could swear that Björks original also is ”again”. That’s what I’ve been hearing for 25 years 😳😅
Yes yes yes!!! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for uploading this! Great cover!

tanto la voz reinterpretando ese tema y la música, hace de esta canción una adicción !! genial cover
@daibhymac i thank you for putting the time and effort into something so beautiful
AWESOME. LOVE LOVE LOVE ♥
thank u so much for this!
excellent job my friend! thank you
i love this version
This version, is from a lifetime award ceremony for Bjork, who was in attendance, and a royal family. You can see Robyn sing it live, by searching the song and artists on CZcams .
Yeah, everyone is aware. But I took some time to edit it to remove audience noise and applause.
This is amazing; thank you so much. Now all we need is an instrumental for this verion, because it's so beautiful and I'd love to do a cover of it.
Now you can. Get the app “Moises” and just remove the vocals 👍🏻🤩
Masterful 👌🏻
Bellísimo
Icon covers icon
The lyrics, though
Even björk made a weare face in the mercury awards , but i must confese i Luv this cover ; Robyn put her soul and hearth into this! Amen
ik love bjork en robyn...tygers
Everyone! Get the android app called FullRip, it works great for downloading CZcams videos in mp3 format.
Björk and Robyn are both outstanding artists. Now we wait for Björk to cover Call Your Girlfriend...
Where can I find the mp3 of this song?
@thejoshuagerald You're welcome :) I don't think an instrumental version exists, sadly...
muy buenooooooo
bjork should be proud
No words, its amazing, thx, would love to get that version, where do I send my email adress to?
@SonySect I've given it a try... Not particularly very successful, but I have done a Live Edit, which reduces a lot of the crowd noise :)
OMFG! Thank you so much for posting this! How do I get this on my iPod? Anybody?
Bjork and Robyn need to team up and fight crime or something.
she perform this in noble priced if i'm not mistaken, all singer that night sing bjork's song
Is it llegal to download this song here?
File removed! : (
totally!! :) yes, my observation was an opinion, and as such, everyone has one... I guess I may just have to listen to Robyn's version a few more times, and maybe Ill be able to hear what you do.
@chekitos07 You're very welcome :)
any chance you can reupload this? thank you
I want so bad the instrumental! I beg you!!!! I need this instrumental since 2010! It would calm down my nerves and depression! Please 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
Bjork's version is of course the best, but I enjoyed this too!
the link is down :(
@SonySect
Hold on, this is not a studio version... listen to it! its the live performance.. and what has ben "mastered" ?
I really like this cover, I prefer her voice over Bjorks, but I still like the synth in the original better.
Mediafire keeps blocking the file, but if you drop me a message with an email address, I'll happily send it.
DMac's Place do you still do this? If so sillyxander@gmail.com. I understand if you don’t.
This ought to be interesting.
@daibhymac
youo have done a great job.. its just that people seem to think that this is the studio version... and it isnt... only that... why are you getting affended just because I clarify? You clarify that then! And... take a chill pill!
i love Robyn,but i dont think anyone can sing this song,Like Bjork can,its her song and she MADE it what it is
See earlier comments for my thoughts about this. I repeat, if you have a better version in your possession, do upload it.
Wasn't was just part of a live tribute to Bjork? I do like the production on this and I think if bjork had written the song today the production would do as good a job of building the song up as this does, not that the production on the original is bad it's just a little bit dated.

What's with all the negativity? Thanks for this! :)

DMac's Place I agree! Love this! I want Robyn to come back! :(
Nothing blows Bjork out of anything ~ 420
Robyn, The Cranberries and Björk are the 90's holy trinity
Hmm, fan mastered but still good work.
I like this version but it drives me nuts that she clearly sings the wrong lyric. It's "Safe up here with you" (as in up here on the mountain). Not "safe again with you".
KillYourTV86 that's true!
I agree
Send me a message with ur email and I'll forward.
I know this is a live version and I like some of Robyn's songs, but this doesnt even hold a candle to the original. It seems odd to decide to cover a Bjork song since she is such an amazing singer (Bjork), it really makes it harder to give it justice. Still an ok version though.
Bjork's voice is so better...so emotional and strong !
Meh
raped the replay button....
prefer the original...good attempt though
likes a david guetta version....................
xN0ow Said no one ever.
much much better than original
Why?
I can not agree with that statement. Robyn blew me away with this cover in tribute to Bjork, but Bjork''s original music cannot be matched IMHO. The raw emotion and originality isn't something that can be covered .
😂 nope. This is an awesome cover by Robyn. And I'm liking it very much. But no. Bjork's is still the best. And I think if any other artist do a cover of Hyperballad, it cannot top Bjork's original version. It's so unique.
Stop smoking crack. Nothing can touch Bjork's original though Robyn did a fantastic job
