I had an abusive parent and didn't live the happiest of childhoods. Emotions were perceived as a weakness. And then she came and taught me that there's this raw power that emotion can bring, and it was immensely liberating. Coincidentally, it started with the Joga video. I am forever thankful.

Alexander Supertramp it’s not so much that it evokes imagery, it’s the profound idea that in Bjork’s world emotion is so vast and all-consuming that it’s hard to chalk it all up to passing feelings. It resonated with me and changed the way I thought about how emotion could exist in my internal world. When I enter a new environment, sometimes a novel emotional landscape arises with it. It’s broad and layered.

This is my favorite Bjork song. And this performance just exemplifies all the qualities that make her so wonderful as a vocal musician. Timing, control, pitch, tone... I don't think there was one wrong note despite the complexity of the phrasing. She's just a wonderful artist that doesn't nearly get the credit she deserves.

No ego, just pure expression and connection to the (brilliantly composed) material. Breathtaking.

beautiful vocals and tone range. what I love about her is that she explores the nature and human condition within her music, so its relevant to anyone who struggles to see their own light or make sense of their own emotions.

I love when she kicks her shoes off....waves her hands passionately and rocks anxiously...whole new art form....brilliant!!

Honestly can't believe how beautiful & powerful this is. Has to be one of the best live performances ever.

I remember seeing this episode repeated in about 1999. I think she performed this, Hunter and Bachelorette. I had never had any interest in Bjork prior to that day, but I was blown away by all three songs. They still sound great today.

Bjork's music improves with time and experience. Having worked with some very experienced colleagues, she is well able to sustain complex and musically challenging material regardless of production conditions. Others need a truck load of electronics and special effects but Bjork re-pitches and adjusts her dynamics to work with a simple string ensemble such as this one. Whereas the studio version of Joga (made at her own studio in Spain) is on an epic/saga scale a great song is a great song. Here it and its creator perform in considerate and respectful concert with other musicians. That is one definition of being a great musician.

I get chills every time I hear this song. Bjork is otherworldly.

isn't this one of the most impressive performances of any kind in human history?
