Aoife just absolutely killed this. In Bjorks version the words feel like a prophecy from an oracle, but from Aoife they feel like wedding vows, pure poetry, its an amazing experience.

Word. So well put.

Most people should NEVER attempt to sing this song. This is a fantastic cover. Well done :)

Bjorkin ain’t easy.

Bjorkin is impossible! This version doesn't even come close....no-one can sing like Bjork...she's a force of nature and a true artist.

This is so underrated. Bjork’s music never grows old. We just mistakenly thought old messages ought to be obsolete. Your rendition to this song is beautiful

i went to coachella only to see bjork. . . but i also had some time to kill in the afternoon before taking the acid and i saw nickel creek, then rufus wainright, and then arctic monkeys before finally seeing bjork. i have loved you chris since that day. so even when you think you are introducing people to bjork right now on youtube, it was actually bjork who introduced me to you at coachella.

Love that.

the girl singing did probably one of the best versions of this song! so amazing, bjork has such a weird technique singing and she still killed it!

I have to admit, I was unfamiliar with this song so I was hearing it for the first time in my car yesterday (a rebroadcast). I was casually listening to it thinking "this is a good song" and then the climax of the song hit and I was completely absorbed. I told myself I had to find it and here it is. This song is absolutely beautiful, melancholy, and tragic. I've since listened to it about 4-5 more times, connecting more deeply to the lyrics, harmony, melody, and instrumentals each time. Absolutely the best thing I've heard in the last month or so. BTW, I did check out the Bjork version and found it really good as well (I'm familiar with Bjork in a pedestrian sense but not well versed), but I prefer this cover. The way Aoife and Chris connect with their blending and harmony, is truly soothing. Aoife's voice is incredible.

I was at this show and this performance absolutely blew my mind and I come back and watch it frequently. When the drums kick into the double time groove I rock out HARD.

Brazilian percussionist, Nana Vasconcellos, that amazing guy who Bjork loved so much, WE MISS YOU SO . RIP BRO. In time. Aoife is TRASCENDING THE LIMITS OF THE "COMMOM" TALENTS.... God Bless you Aoife.

Thank you so very much for recording this performance. Thank you so very much for recording this performance and making it freely and publicly viewable on a platform such as this. (and yes, those are separate appreciations)

Aoife did a fantastic job but the fact she seemed to struggle a little with it makes me appreciate Björk even more.

I don’t think she struggled. I think she was protecting her voice from the damage bjork eventually got (from bad habits that sound great)

It didn't seem to me that Aoife was struggling. In fact it's just the opposite. She appeared focused & totally nailed it. This is better than the original.

Thile's dancing at the 3.50ish mark is beautiful and perfect and much too short. MORE CHRIS THILE DANCING, P&TYVM.

This was an amazing rendition. Massive Bjork fan very pleased here ❤

Fantastic understanding of how to represent the original without losing yourself.

I had no idea what I was missing.. one of my favorite songs done so beautifully!!!

I’ve replayed this video so often that I know 0:38 is the start of the song.

There are so many bad covers of this amazing song and this is one of the few good ones :)

I just listened to Bjork's version of this yesterday !! I ❤ this song so much !

Wow! She did an amazing job.

You all have outdone yourselves. Incredible.

After every episode, I ask myself : Can this show get any better? 🤗

Aoife nailed it.

Now I know how to sing this song at karaoke, as a regular, non-otherworldly being. Thank you! Practicing your version!

I am absolutely enthralled by Odonovan.

Outstanding. One of the best Cover-Versions YT has to offer.

I caught this on air the other day and didn't realize it was a rerun. So glad theres a video 😍

This song is so awesome. Aoife blows away the original.

very interesting and delicate interpretation

Aoife bringing a lot of big sister vibes, ha. Awesome cover

So good, if Björk came on the show omg

Beautiful. Love this rendition.

I'll never get over this.

My favorite song! So nice installed!!

Wow! Fantastic performance

AMAZING

This was beautiful 🙏

This is amazing

Release this as a single.

Wow. That was amazing. Why so low views?

This....thank you

Bjorkin ain't easy but Aoife O'Donovan outBjorked Bjork for this version of Hyperballad. Great job Aoife.

Wow.

❤

💖

Yesss.

Um... ok thank you!

If this is struggling, then flying must be a slight hitch. Aoife is wonderful, but she is not Bjork, but even Bjork can't hit all the notes in this tune. Aoife doesn't have the range to hit the line, "To be safe up here with you." Bjork can, but even she has to give a slight shriek through the word "safe"... though I find that interesting to the tune, especially if intentional.

Bjork shrieks on purpose. She doesn’t need to. She chooses to cuz it sounds amazing when she does. She also doesn’t need to roll her Rs like she’s doing a parody of a Mexican accent. But it’s beautiful whenever she does.

Aoife O'Donovan totally outBjorked Bjork for this version of Hyperballad. Is there a better female singer out there today? I haven't found one... Sarah Jarosz is up there with Aoife, and Alison Krauss of course. Aoife's voice is so clear & clean & crisp ... the voice of an Angel.
