All these accidents that happen, follow the dot
Coincidence makes sense, only with you
You don't have to speak, I feel

Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me
The riddle gets solved
And you push me up to ..

This state of emergency, how beautiful to be
State of emergency, is where I want to be

All that no-one sees you see, what's inside of me
Every nerve that hurts you heal, deep inside of me oohoohh
You don't have to speak, I feel

Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me, confuse
Can, the riddle get solved?
And you push me up to ..

This state of emergency, how beautiful to be
State of emergency, is where I want to be
State of emergency, how beautiful to be

Emotional landscapes

Emergency, is where I want to be

She really needs to do a song with Radiohead. The world might blow up, but it would be wild.

Emergen-C brand beverage mix using this song in their commercials in 5... 4.. 3...
 
I mean her label could certainly turn around and sell the rights to advertisers, I would think.  Looks like Elektra (WMG) owns the rights, I'm sure they'd have no problems selling her out.

lmao.. wow.. that's the most high-handed, pompous bunch of bullshit I've ever read. I "get" her music just fine, I just really dislike it. There it is.. yes, I heard it playing, and then promptly muted my speakers.

Fucking nerd.

Sometimes polarising. In my opinion, consistently amazing.

I'm not a fan but I always smile when Bjork pops up. As she did at a Stones concert at the Brixton Academy in the early Nineties when I turned at the VIP bar to get a good look at Helena Christensen, and, not noticing Bjork was right next to me (I"m about three feet taller than her), bumped into her and she spilled her drink. The air turned blue with Icelandic expletives and no amount of apologies would calm her down! Happy memories!
First song that made me stop what I am doing this morning and listen.

Wow, this is outstanding!
Björk is often demanding to listen to, but this clash of styles is just awesome!!!

One of my rare 10s.
Amazing...... <3

I can only imagine.  Bucket list, after I win the lottery.
Note that neck needs reinforcement for the radar dishes. 
The Pixie working with Mark Bell really was an exceptional clash of sounds.

Love it

If you can't hear the beauty of this track your ears are clogged up, This is a fusion of Baroque with Icelandic overtones ...great piece of art.

Hmmmm. I don't much like Bjork. She is so cutesy sometimes that it makes me nauseous.
On the other hand, I cannot deny that I like this song and consider it valid art. 
One of my absolute favorites by her.

This is my song...emotional landscapes...I love Bjork, she's amazing.
One of my best friends, a man with otherwise excellent taste in music, art, literature, etc, loves Bjork and puts her on every time I go to have dinner with him and his partner. It's a running gag now: "No, dude, anything but that . . . "

Her voice, for whatever reason, is irritating to me. But, hey, at least it's not rap.

I love Bjork. Too bad she's married to Space Ghost (https://bit.ly/SW0VzA —> Youtube link — Space Ghost, Bjork and Thom Yorke)

Mute is a "trope" now, is it...not a "meme"....gotta work harder at figuring out what you all are going on about. Seriously, if you don't like it, mute it and move on to the next tune. I don't really need to share your "trope" any more than I care about the state of your sound card.

Amazing how narrow is the range of expression tolerated by far too many listeners here.

My only hope is that in your daily lives, you honor the efforts of those with whom you disagree without taking similar positions. I also hope that the anonymity of this forum explains these comments better than simply a collective mean streak. By the way, you do not need to tell everyone if you mute something!

Absolutey bam23, Bjork-Joga is why I'm here most days, trying to expand my library of great music of many, many genres. Ok except a couple, that thank goodness don't play well here:rap music(though give me soul music all day long) or country and western.

a philosophical question that needs debate. until then. MUTE!
I'm a huge fan of Björk ever since I saw Dancer in the Dark. I don't think any movie scene (the one where they're leading her to the gallows) has ever made me cry quite that hard. She's an amazingly talented artist and masters very diverse styles and metiers. Something RP listeners should especially appreciate. 
See on hea.

Byrne wins.

By a large margin.

Cool, a Bjork song I actually like :)

Oh God... it's Dyork yet again.

Please - enough of this self-absorbed nut job.
I love her early solo work so much!!!

I must be a total idiot, because I love her music, quirky as it is.  I'm used to normal music like America, Jackson Browne, Yes, and Led Zeppelin.  When Bjork's music pops in, I'm always taken by surprise, but I end up smiling, listening, and aching to comment here.

So - not going to comment about her music. I'll just say that RadioParadise truly is paradise for me.

It's past my bedtime. I'm a wicked child defying the rules. Oh, wait - I'm an adult. I have no rules . I can stay up all night listening to RP.

Geez, being an adult is really fun, innit? {#Roflol}

I really have a lot of respect for Bjork and like much of her music (like this piece) but I note that she has the same effect on me as the Bulgarian Female Choir singers who were so popular in the 90’s – after about ½ hour listening, I start to get a headache in my 3rd eye area. I think it as something to do with their really intense style of singing.

She get a 9 from me.

Why? not because she has 13 Grammy nods and has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide on an independent label but because her sound is ORIGINAL and not vanilla.

the hair do would've looked better with a swan around her neck.
What do you think was going through this chicks head when she went in to get her hair done?  Hey, can you make my hair look like two steering wheels? WT...
I really dig this track.  Say what you will about Bjork, she is creative.

A voice of sanity. I really found the comment, "liked the song until I saw who it was...", an odd way of judging a song's merits. This was a great album.

I want to like it, but . . . . . . . 4.  At least it fails in an interesting way.

No, don't. Please.
I liked the song, until I look up who it is — she's irritating, but there's something about that song that I like.  This is why I should never see a video because once I see a singer, if I find them annoying, it turns me off to an otherwise okay song.

I saw the video for "It's Oh, So Quiet," and laughed my ass off.  She's so unexpected - screams where a whisper is anticipated... She's vocal paint splattered on a canvas of music.

Wow, this song is absolutely gawd-offal.  I was working in the other room and had to drop what I was doing to go to the computer to change the channel.  I've always hated Bjork, but this is the worst Bjork I've ever heard (and that is really saying something.) {#Puke}

yes, she can. try to get a copy of her version of "leaving on a jetplane". imho she's got pretty strong vocals on this one, but even then I get the impression that she's holding back a bit, there could be even more.


Excellent song. Seems a bit different than the version I have on her Best Of CD.
