I think we all agree that the end of this song is fucking magical, breathtaking, trascendental. Those chords, and strings and her voice; the atmosphere it generates is so lovely, sad, nostalgic but encouraging at the same time. It makes me feel things that i never felt before, Björk is just magical; a mistic of sound and emotions from another dimension.
its so rooted on this planet! Makes it so good! Why do humans deny this?
This is ger best song since Homogenic era. That's all
so many people have said her music is alien or otherworldly, yet this is the most human thing I've ever witnessed. I felt a rainbow of emotions and experiences
This! I feel the exact same way. When i listen to her music all my basic human emotions and instincts reorganize and get validated
Me too.
I feel all of her music expresses all kinds of things about being human at a primal level, then everyone calls her alien and I just think they’re missing the point completely.
completely agree!
We are alienated from ourselves from all the time we have spent trying to fool ourselves. To run from our responsibilities and the consequences of our actions as a species.
*dissolves into song*
This album came out when I was going through my divorce. Its special to me.
Björk is the reason I'm not afraid of pain. She made me feel strong in ways I didn't even ask for.
You couldn’t have said it better
I cry every time. Literally the only artist in this world to bring me to tears. I discovered her while serving in the US Navy on deployment. Bjork is very special to me. Her music has gotten me through so much. This album.......I truly felt the pain.
If Vulnicura has a centerpiece, or heart rather, then this is definitely it. The beginning is a shroud of sorrow and darkness, a whisping black veil of despair and grief. But as it progresses, the clouds slowly part and the beam of hope and healing come to evaporate the flood of pain. This is true genius, and I don't know how Björk had the composure and strength to document these feelings so purely and intensely.
This should have closed the album, it is actually its heart and it points the way out of pain
@@n0kturna1 I think the album is perfect as it is. Black Lake and Family is clearly the darkest center, Notget has some new energy and the last three tracks move a bit elsewhere (especially the great claustrophobic Mouth Mantra which is about her vocal chords surgery) but Quicksand goes back to the heavy family topic, but as the first upbeat track it is like a new beginning as well. I dunno, it really all makes beautiful sense to me after some time. Top 3 Björk album.
The music of this track is the soundtrack version of Jack fighting depression, suicide, & ptsd.

THE TITLE CHARACTER OF SAMURAI JACK!
"I raise a monument of love..." Such a beautiful lyric and moment in a very ethereal track! So beautiful!
Is there a place
Where I can pay respects
For the death of my family?
Show some respect
Between the three of us
There is the mother and the child
Then there is the father and the child
But no man and a woman
No triangle of love
So, where do I go
To make an offering?
I fall on my knees
Lay my flowers (Burn incense)
Light the candles
So, where do I go
To make an offering?
To mourn our miraculous triangle?
Father, mother, child
Father, mother, child
How will I sing us
Out of this sorrow?
Build a safe bridge
For the child out of this danger
I raise a monument of love
There is a swarm of sound
Around our heads
And we can hear it
And we can get healed by it
It will relieve us from the pain
It will make us a part of
This universe of solutions
This place of solutions
This location of solutions
@6urned the fact that no one asked for your comment!! 😂😂😂
@ʐ i'm sure in our heads, we did
Björk transcends at the final part of this song...
100%. I love her vocals to death and some of the vocal layering is SICK but the last instrumental part is something else. Dunno how much is Bjork and Haxan Cloak but she should do more of drone/ambient music!!
She transcends everything
😆
The ending feels like there are hundreds of butterflies in your upper chest. Like a wound being sown.
everything starts to shine when love comes at 4:00
Is the moment of cure.
Sometimes love seems to be the cause of all pain and devastation , but in fact it is the remedy
We need to raise these monuments during our life to move on
Yesssssss
underrated comment, thank you
I think the reason why Bjork's music comes as "weird" is because it's pure, in the sense that is no seekeing to adapt to any style or kind of music, it might not even atempt to be "likeable"or pleasing to the ear, but express feeling just like they are, in the most raw possible way.
It's unbelievable how final part of this song gives me shivers every time i hear it. It's almost like a transportation to another dimension, a flutuation, a levitation.!
I have to confess tears flood my eyes.
true... it is transcending!
Totally agree. It's always so magic.
Happens every time with me
Yeah I have no idea what it is (I mean, I know it's the production), but it's like... pure elation. The Haxan Cloak pummelling that comes before it is so dark and dismal, but then the ending comes and it's as if it's all over; whether that be the fighting, or the will to continue. It's ascendency. Bjork, and all of those she brings on board to work with her, = pure brilliance
agreed.the last one and a half minute of the song is otherworldly,absolutely magnificent
Next to Undo, and All Is Full Of Love (the album version), this is one of the most beautiful and otherworldly songs she's ever written.
Wow, exactly. Those are also my top björk 3 songs!
Wolfgang Romine also desired constellation 🌌
@@Alealejandro21 yes desired constellation is a total minimalist gem too
Cocoon ia also godly vro
you forgot "Harm of Will"
Best Vulnicura track.
+Gábor Márián What about Stonemilker?
+Infinite Sky Yeah, Stonemilker is a new Björk-classic, but my personal fav is Family :)
Guys what about 'Notget' and 'Lionsong' wtf
I'm between atom dance and family...
I love equally this, Mouth Mantra and Stonemilker
first track i listened to after the news of my friend's suicide... always thought this was a devastating piece of music, and it hits even harder now. really beautiful, and eloquent in its expression of grief.
I'm so sorry for your loss :( hope you're better now
This must be one of the most difficult songs to listen to. Not because of its structure or sound, but because it's so emotionally heavy. I can feel physical pressure in my chest and a stinging feeling in my eye whenever I listen to this track, it's almost as if Björk literally put her heart into it. I can't even imagine how hard it must have been to sing this song night after night on tour, I have massive respect for her and her wonderful art. ❤️
This song is like an album in itself. I would love an extended 15 minute version- it's complex enough.
This kinda puts every other composer to shame. Mindblowingly emotional.
I could tell this was produced by the Haxan Cloak immediately. That massive rattling, rumbling bass is a dead giveaway.
likewise friend!
I thought it was produced by Arca
doesn’t it?
This song has healing effects.
what a sad album yet beautiful.
Especially the ending outro it's almost as if she's received clarity.
If I listen to Body Memory I literally clear my chest coughing by the end and feel like I just woke up from a nap this woman is re-teaching us the ancient world
Idk why the beginning violin sound gives me the image of like rotting or decomposing then the harsh drum sound gives me like a visual of someone digging up a grave. Then the somberness of it all kicks in. Then towards the middle it like the spirit of whatever is being dug into a grave is outraged by the whole thing but by the end it becomes at peace with the situation and ascension happens and there is hope.
"so where do i go to make an offering ...."..Bjork i hope you are thru this painful time.... and have good people holding you who you can call "family"
i cannot put into words how beautiful this track gets from the fourth minute.
+Shinrin Yoku But do you think the first three minutes take away from that beauty?
Personally, i cannot bear their depressive nature.
+BusaBloke can I just quote this whole comment conversation?
i think it is the first dark depressive half that lets the second one truly shine. the track wouldnt work without it at all. it is like light after long night. in my opinion one of the best tracks ever written in history of music, if not the best one
I love the progression of the emotion from pain, to acceptance and understanding, and finally to healing
This song is heavier than any metal song I’ve ever heard. It is haunting. I am currently going through a difficult break up myself. This is one of the most moving pieces of music I have ever heard, it had me sobbing out loud.
Listen to "Autechre - Oversteps"
I wish I could tell Bjork how much she means to me. How she has brought me healing, love, and all that is beautiful in this plane of existence. Right now she is saving my life.
Absolutely
Possibly the best song by björk so far?
Every song on this album seems better than the last. It's truly incredible.
definitely one of her best songs in YEARS
along with Stonemilker (and I'd throw in the difficult but hella interesting Mouth Mantra as well)
I say that at the end of every song LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I think that this song is Vulnicura's masterpiece. So moving!
This, History of Touches, and Quicksand, for me. Fuck, I don't actually know. Theyre all great. But this song is a highlight for sure.
Dina Toigo one of bjork's best songs
Beautiful... so often, when an artist suffers, the world benefits from the result.
dude, Woah
+Fernando Salinas Technically, it's true.
Artists of all kinds tend to put their suffering in their art, such as Bjork's album Vulnicura. Consequently, people are pleased by the art created; thus, they benefit from the artist's suffering.
Everyone suffers at some point, artists just know how to put it into art beautifully
Vulnicura means "wound treatment". We don't benefit from her pain, we benefit from her striving for a way out. This is a record that helped her exorcise the suffering.
Really?
this is without a doubt, my favorite song on the album
Those last three minutes are heavenly, the song overall is brilliant in my opinion but it always tugs at my emotions (in a good way) when it’s ending.
5:57 Paradise.
This is the song that always makes me cry on this album. But that ending though....just breathtakingly beautiful.
this universe of solutions, this place of solutions, this location of solutions....
Likely Vulnicura's best track.
Stonemilker.
Stonemilker, Family, Mouth Mantra :)
It is oh my gosh
raw visceral emotive. this has become my favorite Bjork track of all time
This is probably her best in Vulnicura, I love it so much.
That explosive, tearing rumble in the first section is so arresting. It's definitely the sound of a heart being broken. And the microtonal strings are blood seeping out I guess!
It's bloody powerful stuff, this. I definitely take note of this as far as composing emotionally honest, naked music is concerned.
I tried arranging this for piano - I don't think it even captures a tenth of the real thing though!
I want the instrumental at 4:00 onwards! It breaks my heart every time :(
an acoustic instrumental of the entire song is available on the vulnicura strings album!!!

This Song and Björk herself appeared in a very delicate moment of my Life...
This song helped cure my pain clearing my heart from anger and sadness
Ti scrivo in italiano perchè penso sia la tua lingua madre. Sì, la canzone è parte di un percorso emozionale che ha messo a dura prova per prima Bjoerk stessa.
takes me back to memories i didnt know i had
is it possible to marry a song
If the song is polygamic it's okay
Ironic
Yes. My spouse is Swans' Cloud of Unknowing.
WHY NOT!? I MARRIED A FIGMENT OF YOUR IMA'GINA'TION
She is truly one of a kind! I find myself slipping into tears every time I listen to this song❤️
+Mack Cappel I resist a few seconds myself.. it's totally devastating, one of the most touching songs I've ever heard, that brutal beat simply shoves that melancholic melody (and lyrics) down your throat and to breath you can only cry..
+Mack Cappel Me too, Mark - it's very strange since I'm not typically prone to crying because of a song. At risk of sounding selfish, I think it's because I can't help but think of my mother. It's such a simple but intimate song, and gives a very visceral sense of the pain my mother must have felt.
+Mack Cappel It is amazing how in the end, only the music conveys the pain, the heart is overwhelmed and makes mourn inconsolably
This song really describes five stages of grief in it, such a powerful song she have expressed
Haxan going in hard
it's arca
listen to his song family violence
nah this track was produced by the haxan cloak, the rest of the album was produced by arca, don't worry I have smashed arcas discography for last few years, saw him at st johns about 18 months ago, absolutely insane :)
Yeah this sounds more like The Haxan Cloak... maybe Arca got inspirated in the process of this song and then he made ''Family Violence''... remember Xen is from 2014 but Vulnicura has been worked a lot of time before.
Dear Gods, this is one of the most apprehensively and darkly song I've ever listen to. So mournfully I can't describe. But no, it is not sad as most can think of: It is bright, fleshing, vivid... Like a picture displaying colorful-like smokes onto a deep black background... 🙇
I cried, a heeling experience for me. Thank you Bjork
the mix of Arka's and Bjork's artistry is like marriage of genius minds
This is not Arca, it's the Haxan Cloak
@@Stefarooh it's Björk, Arca and The Haxan Cloak
@@deivisson491 No its not Arca, it's just the Haxan cloak. Arca did not produce this track at all.
father, mother, child
The sounds from the last minute of song remind me a slowed version of History of Touches. Am I the only?
It does 💜 it's beautiful
The 2nd half just pulls you in. Gorgeous. Favorite from Vulnicura.
Can someone tech-y please make an instrumental version of this????? I love bjorks voice but the strings at the end send shivers down my neck and spine.
hahaha are you joking? recreating this is like alchemy
This song scares me and fascinates me at the same time.
One of the best songs of Bjork
Bjørk's music 's got an infinite sensitivity and humanity...!!!
the second part of the song feels like a warm bath in a cold night. And spectral blue birds flying around you with low frame rate.
the last part is the best
I love this song. The music. The drone part . The strange hunting voice vibe repeat again and again. one of my dream is reissue off all album of bjork . Instrumental version.
I can see a pantheon preforming to this song 😍 The wicked and the divine
Such a sad album...
No it's really good
since when does sad = bad?
+LuPe Oh shoot sorry I read it as "bad". My bad. Agree, it's a heartbreaking album.
Yes ! I feel you . to me it's all about death , suffering and rebirth .
@@vikanikitina7801 listen to it again, love loss and singing too the relevant other about it.
My wig floated off @ 4:01
honey ALL of our wigs did
Nesse momento meu ser se desmonta....
SHUT UP BALD-I-LOCKS! SORRY! CHEAP JOKE I KNOW.
bye my wig disintegrated
I almost cry out of this song , it's powerful , very meaningful . Thanks a lot for this Bjork
I love it when she says *father mother child*
La canción es perfecta, suena increíble y te hace sentir lo que ningún otra, dura lo que tiene que durar, no pudo haberla concebido de otra forma...simple y hermosamente perfecta, me facina. Bjork nunca dejes de hacer tan majestuosas obras musicales por favor.
one of only songs to ever really make me cry.
This song breaks my heart 💔 because I see Bjork as a human being and not just an eccentric, cosmopolitan artist... who's untouchable. She was hurt and it came through her work. Beautiful song lyrics and that 🎻 oh my. Killing it.
I raise a monument of love ❤❤
Björk created the concept of emotion
My husband of 16 years and the father of my children passed away a week ago. Bjork was his favorite. I know she wrote this about divorce, but it is touching me so deeply right now.
Fucking beautiful
+Leo Nardo Heaven Yes!
+Infinite Sky Bjork actually said that this album was the "hell" for her, and that her next album is going to be the heaven.
+yotr51 Yes I know, It might even top Vespertine!
Infinite Sky I highly doubt anything could top Vespertine in beauty xD
+yotr51 True...
Ésta canción es una joya. Refleja mi estado de animo al 100%.
Bjork se merece todo en este mundo y más por transmitir felicidad/tristeza/esperanza en una sola canción
My heart breaks and my breath wavers at the sound of this beautiful heartache she somehow manage to put into words. I wish I could hug her. 😩😣
Great masterpiece from a Goddess
I'm literally crying😔❤
Oh such sweet sorrow
This song literally encapsulates the feeling of having a family.
Simplemente una obra de arte.
at the end you can hear something similar to "All is Full of Love"
I LOVE this song, just before that I listened to one of the songs on her first album (Björk, the one she released at the age 11, not Debut), the only one written by her, and there is a LITTLE difference. okay. Huge. I'm wondering what would the young, 11 years old Björk say if someone showed her this song and said: you made (will make... :D) this music!
OMG, I think about the same thing!!!
the first part jumpscares me everytime wtf 😭
Been meaning to say this for the last two years, but always thought the last 30 or so seconds were a reference to All is full of love.
The ending of this song is the music you hear when you come to heaven 👌
I have created a cd just with song. All my paper is ready. If one day I die , I want this song play at my funeral .
This song is the definition of vulnerability
My family is the monument of love ❤️
Mick- A man speaking from his heart! I'm in
man that outro just hits different
children.... monument of love:)
it's a blessing.
great, tho I think I love the Vulnicura Live version even more! the second half is definitely some of the best pieces of music she's made in years.
This is by far one of my favourite songs by bjork, I can't seem to get into any other song from this album
Not even Lionsong?
"Stonemilker" is one of her best in my opinion
history of touches makes me guhhhhhhhhhhhh
A true masterpiece of queen Björk
i've been healin' with this song. exorcise all my pain
This is so harrowing and powerful. Holy shit.
beautiful
con esta musica de suspenso me da ganas de conocerla mas
esta canción es increíble! La misma calidad de siempre, gracias
I love how this song moving through some stages and at the end you feel healed by it
I want to see a collaboration between woodkid and björk. I bet it would never happen in real life but one can only dream and that's what her music make me do.
