I really love the contrast of her message; having confidence in yourself because you have more control of your life than you think, versus the night vision/ creepy music video as she smiles while singing in the dark.

I feel like it's sort of a depiction of how we are all in the dark as we progress in our life. We will never know what the future hold of us but we can be confident in knowing we did enough, that we tried, and at least we handled what we can control is in our hands to the best of our ability. despite the uncertainty life has in store for us. So why be fearful in the dark? Bjork is embracing this uncertainty in her music video by dancing in the dark. Inviting us to do the same.

#LYRICS

Look no further
Look no further
I look no further

Cruelest, almost
Always to ourselves
It mustn't get
Any better, off

It's in our hands
It always was
It's in our hands
In our hands

It's all there
In our hands
It's all there
In our hands

Well, now aren't we
Scaring ourselves
Unnecessarily?
Aren't we trying too hard?

'Cause it's in our hands
It's in our hands
It's all here
It's in our hands

Look no further
I look no further

It's in our hands
It always was
It's in our hands

It's in our hands
It's in our hands
It's in our hands

Sample track is "Clouds" by Gigi Masin, also famously sampled by Nujabes in his track "Latitude". Instantly recognizable. It's incredible how Bjork has been able to transform the peaceful, serene sample into a moody broody one.

[sadnessofshadow]

it was recorded 18 years ago and sounds freshier than most 2020 songs

She is a national treasure possessing the world's rarest, and uniquely singular musical instrument, her voice. She may, indeed, have peers, but they are few and scattered throughout time.

Björk’s music has helped me work through, understand, and process so much of my life. I can’t believe how influential music can be, especially when it’s from someone with such raw humanity as Björk

[yannpoco]

Vespertine and Greatest Hits era is my absolute favourite ! The melody is so much better that other eras. And the LoFi electronic sounds are so damn fascinating and psychedelic.

It feels like she's speaking a whole new language, her voice is so beautiful it doesn't sound real, it feels strange to think she's only speaking English. Yet she makes it sound so extraterrestrial.

[dylanhillebrand]

It’s amazing how well her music aged. This could be released today today and it would still sound fresh!

[patrickpolk]

I'm so overwhelmed and amazed at how well she controls her vocals and range. In all of her songs, it's just amazing. What a gift🥰

[juanruzmartell]

It's doesn't matter what material she releases. It's gonna be incredible

[KawaiiKittyKat]

The creepiness of her videos, and sometimes even artistic, is why I love her videos so much. I can see something crawling away in the darkness in this video. I have been a fan of Bjork's music since her song "Oh so quiet". I also loved it when she was on the Space Ghost: Coast to Coast show.

[björksurrounded]

well now aren't we
scaring ourselves
unnecessarily ?
aren't we trying too hard ?

[luisdcaldero]

I can't believe this song is almost (20) years old. Still sounds so fresh. Another beautiful one from Bjork...❤

[soaribb]

I love how she used noises as percussions

[lucasonhisown]

This is definitely one of my favourite Björk songs!
Spike Jonze made a really nice work for this video, it reflects her connection with nature so well.
And she looks so beautiful pregnant here ❤

[brandongrimaldi]

She speaks directly to the soul in every human being that listens to her
