THIS is how you cover Bjork. Heaps of creativity, ambition, and sheer vocal skill, enough to make your own magic.

EXACTLY my thoughts. It's a great cover and he totally "bjorked" it by adding his own elements of talent and artistry to the piece. So cool!

I'm not sure that humans deserve his talent. I hope sometimes he sings in nature so the trees can hear him.

I think nature will understand him as nature created him. It are humans that often undervalue peoples talents. This beautiful voice and control of it even surpasses event most of the greater (as they say) of this day. This song came in a like a wrecking ball, only much much much better ;)

My pure love for Bjork tends to make me not care for people's covers but my Lawd, this is pure perfection! The way he uses his voice as the music is just beautiful.

His voice is ethereal, otherworldly and after you hear it for the first time, it just stays with you. Like so many others say, it's so incredible that it's humanly possible to manipulate one's voice like Moses Sumney does. Simply incredible.

Making a cover is a dangerous thing, in my opinion. These two guys nailed it in their own very style. Not only the music gets to the core, but also the scenery in that room... and the looks.

Every time I listen to Moses Sumney it freaks me out and amazes me at the same time.

Very few renderings can catch my attention but that did it...bjork would be proud of it.

the reclus I know right, who has the balls to take on Bjork covers 😂. Loving everything Moses at the moment he's incredible

Bjork's music is a gift and this is an amazing transformation!

He is insanely talented. Truly magical. I could not keep my jaw off the floor this entire performance, it was honestly like a full body experience. I adore both Bjork and Moses and this is one of the best Bjork covers I've ever heard. Thank you for this unbelievable renditoon 💜

man his voice is amazing, looking at his face from the side view puts me in mind of flylo

How rare and interesting cover

I'm listening to this over and over again and getting the chills every time

The only person I’ve ever heard cover a Bjork song and actually do it justice...just mesmerizing

All of my chakras just opened my up.

my insides are folding

How I wish there was a studio recording of this

some of the greatest goosebumps my pores have ever known

His voice is absolutely unreal. Like, it doesn't sound like a sound a human could produce, is too ethereal.

I can't even ..... Just otherworldly, masterful, haunting. You know, his usual performance.

You know those times when you just cant pick a song/artist/album to listen to? I never have that problem because I listen to this, exclusively

This shook my soul..

Mad talent this man has, astonishing performance .

OH MY FRIGGIN' GOD! I am a Bjork fan and love this title, but Sumney elevated this cover to a new level. Amazing in all the juicy, squishy parts! I always say, never to a cover unless you're changing it into something new. He did just that and more.

Hands down the best bjork cover i’ve ever seen & the best cover i’ve seen moses make. Absolutely stunning.

this is insane

That was ridiculously good, when he started doing the chorus that was incredible

The live version as well. He sang the violin parts so beautifully

this makes so much sense. I have always seen the Bjork influence in Moses music

The only good Bjork cover I’ve ever heard. Bjork is like Mariah Carey vocally, her songs are made for her and those who cover her are foolish. Yet …. He really achieved something impressive, magical, and his own. Incredible. Three years later I return to this video absolutely stunned. It’s a shame this doesn’t have hundreds of millions of views, shame that the public rather listen to garbage.

So finally see this video again after 3 years and I'm still 💧👁️👄👁️💧

Damn... his voice could make me cry.

Everything this man sings speaks to my soul....

I just heard this performed live at Big Ears. I didn't know this cover existed, as I only discovered Moses Sumney last year. I cried (sometimes ugly cried) through the entire concert. Like energy was shooting up my spine and out the top of my head peak human experience kind of thing, and I thought ruefully to myself that I was cheating on Björk, who'd I'd just seen in February on the Cornucopia tour. I ugly cried through that set, too. When MS dropped this cover while that thought balloon was still in my mind, I cannot explain how that felt. It was completely otherworldly. He's truly a once-in-a-generation talent.

This is literally the best shit ever to listen to on repeat in bed.

absolutely stunning

His voice went ⬇️↘️⬆️↗️ so many times😭

Still speechless 15 minutes after hearing this. In the best possible way. So much love from Hong Kong!

This is so lovely. A friend of mine shared this on Tumblr and I had to listen to it. So exquisite.

Bjork would be proud! Speechless 🙊

what a voice

Nina Simone covers 1993 Bjork :O Just kidding he sounds like a mitical creature, he amazes me more and more I listen from him!!!!!!!!!

Everything in music that has happened thus far has lead to this moment. You can hear our entire history in his voice, its like the collective spirit of the past, present and future is tearing through the fabric of reality when he sings. The guitarist is also absolutely amazing at accompanying this ineffably special performance. Honestly, It's almost too real, it can be painful to listen to Moses. He's entertaining something deeper than entertainment.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Ava DuVernay for bringing this spectacular individual to my attention in Queen Sugar, Series 2 Episode 6. One of the best Directors in the Industry and I adore that she ALWAYS features exceptional, yet critically underrated Artists such as Moses Sumney in her work! We need more of this!!!🏆

No studio version needed. Perfection as is...

damnnn he channeled Nina Simone and Jeff Buckley and made the amazing Bjork song his own Count me impressed

[Verse 1] Come to me I'll take care of you Protect you Calm, calm down You're exhausted Come lie down You don't have to explain I understand [Chorus] You know that I adore you You know that I love you So don't make me say it It would burst the bubble Break the charm [Verse 2] Jump off Your building's on fire And I'll catch you I'll catch you Destroy all that is keeping you down And then I'll nurse you I'll nurse you I'll protect you [Chorus] You know that I adore you You know that I love you So don't make me say it It would burst the bubble Break the charm

Incredible.

Isso é tão incrível que eu não tenho nem palavras para descrever. “Come to me” é uma das minhas músicas favoritas e você elevou o nível dela

I think i died and now am in heaven

Jesus Christ how have I not found this yet, bjork and Moses are my two favourite artists

This guys voice is amazing.
