    I remember growing up in the 90s, she was brave enough to be herself, be creative and evolve her music. Because she was being different the media/chart/music shows would completely ridicule her a LOT. When you listen to a bjork song, you honestly couldn’t tell if it was released in the 90s or right now….that’s how far ahead she was with her music. She put her critics to shame.

      I had a friend show me her videos about 6 months ago and I keep coming back to listen to her. He had thought and told me this music came out within the last few years and I believed him too. We literally thought this was new stuff. Both of us are very avid music enthusiasts too, I listen to all kinds of music.

      Really? I grew in the same era and although I seem to remember people thought she was brilliant even back then. The gossip media certainly had a field day with her, but when it comes to music I feel like Bjork has always been thought of as incredibly influential and ahead of her time. Madonna wanted to work with her. Peter Jackson wanted her to sing the end theme to the second Lord of the Rings movie. She wasn't languishing in obscurity waiting to be appreciated 30 years later, that's for sure.

    I'm a fountain of blood
    In the shape of a girl
    You're the bird on the brim
    Hypnotised by the whirl
    Drink me, make me feel real
    Wet your beak in the stream
    Game we're playing is life
    Love's a two way dream
    Leave me now, return tonight
    Tide will show you the way
    If you forget my name
    You will go astray
    Like a killer whale
    Trapped in a bay
    I'm a path of cinders
    Burning under your feet
    You're the one who walks me
    I'm your one way street
    I'm a whisper in the water
    Secret for you to hear
    You're the one who grows distant
    When I beckon you near
    Leave me now, return tonight
    Tide will show you the way
    If you forget my name
    You will go astray
    Like a killer whale
    Trapped in a bay
    I'm a tree that grows hearts
    One for each that you take
    You're the intruder's hand
    I'm the branch that you break

    The video is actually extremely dark on an apocalyptic level. When the publisher falls out of love, all books are unwritten and all people and buildings get devoured by the bushes and the trees. The city turns into a forest with the empty book buried deep inside the ground, until she finds it again while digging and everything repeats itself in an infinite loop.

      Is it a film? I’m a producer and composer but I am also a ufo researcher and communicator. Would you like to attend a real ufo sighting it might inspire you the way it has me but regardless the levels in your music are incredible and continue to inspire my choices occasionally in very cool ways . I have a sequel to my documentary “Curse of the man who sees ufos “ that just finished a two year run on Netflix. Called “the man who sees ufos “ coming soon ! The Muzik in that film is totally composed on mobile iOS computing and instruments as well as hardware synth design and found objects etc. also your music gives me focus in moments that I need that. I don’t know why but it just happens. Peace and many thanks Christo and Mr Gino 👽🐕☮️🛸🎶💀😉🙏✌️

      First, there is much 'artsy' metal music, especially in its progressive/avant-guarde/exptreme subgenres. Check out maudlin of the well, for example. Metal is not just Metallica, you know?
      Second, Bjork is not that experimental/avant-guarde. It's more like creative art pop. Her music videos were on MTV, come on. If something is on MTV, it's not avant-guarde. You'll never hear experimental metal music on MTV. I guess that's why you don't know much about metal.

    I think the comments don't praise enough the song itself. This is a real epic timeless masterpiece here, and one of my favourite songs ever. This is so theatrical, and the composition is really unique and ahead of its time. Björk's vocals are ridiculously awesome and very emotional, she's really an amazing artist.

      Hi, I really love this song. Even when I didn't know lyrics (English isn't my first language).

      I would appreciate it very much

    • @poesie_paienne
      @poesie_paienne Před 3 lety +8

      @@elizabethstre1686 Hi, I must admit I'm not really sure of its meaning as the lyrics are quite mysterious and English is also not my first language, but here is my interpretation :
      First, this song is the sequel to the song Isobel, which is on the album Post ( which is itself the sequel to Human Behaviour I think ), and who narrates the adventures of a girl named Isobel, born in an isolated forest. She lives alone until a big city emerges and she discovers a New life. I think then that the title " Bachelorette " refers to the loneliness of Isobel before going to the city.
      So, in " Bachelorette ", Isobel arrives to the city ( that's why the instrumentation sounds like a train ) and discovers a whole new world. She's really excited ( that's why she says " I'm a fountain of blood in the shape of a girl " ) because she discovers new sides of herself, like her sexuality. I think this song is an expression of everything Isobel feels in the city, she's " hypnotized by the whirl ", as she said in the song. At the end of the song, I think she probably returns to the forest, that's why we hear an accordion, and the sequel to this song is " Alarm Call ", where we can see in the video Isobel back in the forest, testing her boundaries and limits after her experience in the city.
      I think the story of Isobel is related to Björk, who was born in Iceland but then moved to London and discovered a new world.
      That remains my own intepretation, as I think many interpretations are possible, I hope it will be useful to you :)

Every time i see her and listen to her voice at the same time i get this weird feeling in my heart like a jump or a squeeze. Its weird. She is fascinating to me but i dont know why. i totally understand how crazy people can obsess about her.
    Anyway i dont like feeling crazy/weird so i dont watch alot of her videos but im glad youtube sent me here to watch this. Great song.

    Sous la forme d'une fille
    Tu es l'oiseau sur le bord
    Hypnotisé par le tourbillon
    Bois-moi - rends-moi réelle
    Plonge ton bec dans le courant
    Le jeu auquel nous jouons est la vie
    L'amour est un rêve pour deux
    Laisse-moi maintenant - reviens ce soir
    La marée te montrera le chemin
    Si tu oublies mon nom
    Tu t'égareras
    Telle une baleine tueuse attrapée dans une baie
    Je suis un chemin de cendres
    Brûlant sous tes pieds
    Tu es celui qui me guide
    Je suis ta rue à sens unique
    Je suis un arbre sur lequel poussent des coeurs
    Un pour chacun que tu prends
    Tu es le sol d'où je puise ma nourriture
    Nous sommes un cercle que personne ne peut briser
    Laisse-moi maintenant - reviens ce soir
    La marée te montrera le chemin

    Un secret que tu peux entendre
    Tu es celui qui s'éloigne
    Quand je te fais signe de venir
    La vie est un collier de peurs
    Tes larmes retenues sur une corde
    Notre amour les détachera - viens ici
    M'aimer est la chose la plus facile
    I'm a fountain of blood
    In the shape of a girl
    You're the bird on the brim
    Hypnotised by the whirl
    Drink me, make me feel real
    Wet your beak in the stream
    Game we're playing is life
    Love's a two way
    Leave me now, return tonight
    Tide will show you the way
    If you forget my name
    You will go astray
    Like a killer whale
    Trapped in a bay
    I'm a path of cinders
    Burning under your feet
    You're the one who walks me
    I'm your one-way street
    I'm a whisper in the water
    Secret for you to hear
    You're the one who grows distant
    When I beckon you near
    You might also like
    Leave me now, return tonight
