Bjork Lyrics


ONE of the wildest vocalists in all of popular music, Bjork
Gudmundsdottir (known popularly simply as Bjork) has spent
most of her life creating artful, experimental music that
defies classification. Those who know her only by her solo
career may be surprised to learn that she released albums
with three separate bands prior to going it alone in 1993,
and in fact this eccentric and original talent has had some
measure of fame since she was sixteen.

When Bjork was born in Reykjavik, Iceland, it was not
immediately apparent that she More...

Review about Bjork songs
'How Scandinavian of me' | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Hunter performed by Bjork

I think the video is clear. The bear symbolizes the power against and toughness of nature. She perseveres.

I think the Scandinavian reference about her coming from the open society of Iceland. I think when she launched herself into the industry she had a naive mindset and experiences a change. "I thought I could organize >freedom< (musical expression)" she underestimated the difficulty of creative process, how it influences other people. Which is why the sounds of Debut/Post (which was more romantic) is very different to Homogenic (more passionate themes). Yes, it's amazing to see how all her songs connect to her life/stories, so poetically.

    ------ About the song Harm of Will performed by Bjork

I think this song is about immigration. Because she sings about a man about town. She must sense that there is a foreigner in town. and I see that in the last part of the song. That she leaves the naked lady alone and the pith as I imagine is fruit. And then the part about "He" controls what there'll be is as I imagine is God. Or maybe a God. The thing that I do not understand about the last part is that if he shows his face "lover?" then how are they going to know "me". Is "me" Bjork? Actually this whole song happens in my head like in a corner of a meadow. But if you listen to the whole song, this song is probably about just leaving things be, maybe there is a wisdom that may occur at a time in the future. It is really an interesting song too. The strings sound very nice. I used to think that Bjork wrote this song on her own, but she sings the lyrics very nicely, like she makes them her own.

    ------ About the song Pagan Poetry performed by Bjork

this is about forbidden love really. a torn and painful realization that the one who actually stirred her up, her body, her heart, her soul from hibernation, is the one that she cannot have, and so she centers all her energies and efforts into encounters that can only be seen in secret codes, morse codes, and yes, even the crooked five fingers, whose pattern on her palm is unmatchable by any other handshakes. all that pain and pleasure rolled in that one handshake. all that hurt and lust which managed to be enclosed into the darkest pit in her, which can only be decoded as a vague blueprint amidst a surface seemingly simple, that is why it is pagan poetry, because it is beautiful and yet, pagan, raw, and even primal, and thus, forbidden or unacceptable in hegemony.

    ------ About the song Pagan Poetry performed by Bjork

I think this song is about preparation for a halfhearted marriage.

She knows the man is in love with her, and somehow he has coaxed her into a lovelike trance with him, but in the first stanza she begins to explore the inner stirrings that are trying to tell her that this isn't what she really wants. But his caring nature makes her want to "hand herself over" to him, to surrender herself.

Black lillies are symbolic of depth, mystery, and sometimes even deceit. Their ripeness may suggest the dire consequences of her actions should she follow through with the marriage.

His crooked handshake whose pattern that has yet to be matched by her represents the idea that he's coming into this commitment with a whole different mindset than hers.

Pagan isn't only a noun concerning religion, but also an synonym for "hedonist", or one that pursues pleasure. At the heart of her being, she wants pleasure, and though she wants to keep to herself, to belong to herself and be hers to give away to others as she pleases, this man's enticing makes her want to give herself to him as well.

So at the surface, it appears so simple, that she's in love with him, and that he is in love with her, but a secret war is going on in her heart that will determine whether she will give herself away or not.

What does she say in the end of this song? | Reviewer: extraterrestrial music listener
    ------ About the song Joga performed by Bjork

I've read she had said she uses Icelandic voices in her songs, voices with no meaning. This is Jupitarian enough :)

By the way, this song is nice to sing to my love Katty ♥ especially these parts:

"You don't have to speak, I feel"
"All that no-one sees, You see, What's inside of me"

The pleasure is all mine to be the generous one | Reviewer: maggie
    ------ About the song Pleasure Is All Mine performed by Bjork

The song is from Björk's album Medúlla [latin word for "marrow", bone marrow]and is constructed solely from 'a Capella' and human voices. In this particular song, she is collaborating with the Inuit throat-singer Tanya Tagaq as well as with the notorious Mike Patton, strung together with a choir arrangement.
Personally, I find this song [and the album overall] a deeply meditative, intimate, and yes, like "whatever" said, beautifully eerie. "The pleasure is all mine" meditates on Björk's experience of not holding back and giving herself, her love, her attention, to any relationship. I like how this song is very encompassing and can be about any relationship: with the self, with a partner, or with any loved one, or with them all at once!

    ------ About the song Hunter performed by Bjork

this song she made when finish the 2nd album. she prepare to take a break. but she look behind, and think: iam not leaving this, iam just going hunter bring some goods... that´s why she said: "you sussed out dind´t you?". like she´s telling to the collaborators, iam not leaving, you sussed out dind´t you?. In this song she feelts pissed of. because like she says: i have a lot to do, with so less time. for 1 side she dont want to abandone the collaboratores. for other side, she have to continue to do her job, and not stopping. because she dont want to miss the oportunity to bring more goods!!!

Do we need meaning? | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Pagan Poetry performed by Bjork

Explaining poetry is like explaining a joke. Nobody laughs
when you have to go word by word. You have to appreciate the whole thing at once, feel it, get into it, breath it. This song has a nice play of words that are woven into a beautiful rhythm.

On the surface simplicity
But the darkest pit in me
It's pagan poetry
Pagan poetry

This is pure sadness, deep sorrow combined with desperation.
Love is repeated once and once more as in a prayer. It celebrates love as the only vehicle to set her free.

    ------ About the song Who Is It? performed by Bjork

I really don't think this is a religious song at all.. it's an interesting take you have, but this is one of bjork's more personal pieces written alongside vespertine, which she wrote when she was feeling strong again. I think it's more a theme of love.

Bjork, relevant then and relevant now... | Reviewer: Juan Manuel
    ------ About the song I Miss You performed by Bjork

To know this was recorded in 1996, according to the title of the video, is to know the Genius that is Bjork. This is one of those songs that you can find relevant no matter when you hear it. Part of the charm of the video lies in the youthful expression that Bjork and her Band convey. The hope and joy of Love, missing someone you haven't yet met, but that you know will come someday. Among the best qualities of the song, beside the lyrics, is the juxtaposed and complex rhythms... I play Bass and Bjork constantly inspires me, so that I instantly become a member of her Band, albeit by proxy. Avant Garde Art at its best, this is Bjork.
