Alexander Bard, whose previous music projects had included Army of Lovers, Vacuum and Alcazar, started work on a new project during 2003, working with the record producer Anders Hansson who became the band's co-producer. They auditioned over 35 different vocalists before meeting former Popstars contestant Martin Rolinski who was duly chosen as lead singer. Marina Schiptjenko, an art-dealer and a one-time member of Vacuum, then came on board as the third member of what became Bodies Without Organs [2].
There was initially a suggestion that the band would be a four-piece including Jean-Pierre Barda from Army of Lovers, but this did not come to fruition, and Barda's explicit involvement extended as co-writing the songs "Living In A Fantasy" [2] (BWO's first single) and "European Psycho", both included on BWO's first album "Prototype" (It's odd that a picture of Barda turned up in the inner booklet of this album), and appearing on the videos "Conquering America", "Sixteen Tons of Hardware", "Open Door" and "The Bells of Freedom", in which Dominika Peczynski, also from Army of Lovers did make a cameo too.
The name of the band derives from the philosophical term body without organs, developed by French philosopher Gilles Deleuze and psychoanalyst Félix Guattari in their 1972 book Anti-Œdipus. Bard, an author and lecturer of philosophy, has referred to the ideas of Deleuze in his books Netocracy - The New Power Elite And Life After Capitalism and The Global Empire, both co-written with Jan Söderqvist.
At no point has BWO been a full-time project for any of the band's members - Bard continues his other career, notable in its own right, as a philosopher, while Schiptjenko remains an art dealer in Stockholm and Rolinski has a Master of Science in Engineering and works in that field.
Alexander Bard launched his new project Gravitonas in april 2010. Their first single "Kites" is launched in 15 versions on April 28th
Martin Rolinski will go solo also in 2010.
Juggernaut
BWO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take me out on testosterone
Cause tonight's the night when the fight is approaching
We party hard at the thunderdome
Aaah take me for a ride tell me why
Do I get my kicks from the slide
You caught me fighting like a wild juggernaut
You caught me fighting like a wild juggernaut
You caught me fighting riding sliding
Fighting like a wild juggernaut
Caught me fighting like a wild juggernaut
You caught me fighting like a wild juggernaut
You caught me fighting riding sliding
Load the guns set the buckets on fire
Tars and feathers and stars to trek
Cause tonight's the night of intrepid desires
A witches' brew at the discotheque
Aaah take me for a ride tell me why
Do I get my kicks from the slide
You caught me fighting like a wild juggernaut
Caught me fighting like a wild juggernaut
You caught me fighting like a wild juggernaut
You caught me fighting riding sliding
Aaah take me for a ride tell me why
Do I get my kicks from the slide
You caught me fighting like a wild juggernaut
Caught me fighting like a wild juggernaut
You caught me fighting like a wild juggernaut
You caught me fighting riding sliding
The lyrics to BWO's song Juggernaut paint a picture of a wild night filled with primal desires and a sense of abandon. The first verse speaks of being pursued like prey, taken out on testosterone, and partying hard at the thunderdome. The chorus repeats the phrase "caught me fighting like a wild juggernaut," suggesting a sense of going into battle mode, whether it be on the dancefloor or in a more literal sense. The second verse speaks of loading guns, setting things on fire, and an atmosphere of intrepid desires at the discotheque.
