Isobel
Björk Lyrics
In a forest pitch dark
Glowed the tiniest spark
It burst into flame
Like me
Like me
My name Isobel
Married to myself
My love Isobel
Living by herself
In a heart full of dust
Lives a creature called lust
It surprises and scares
Like me
Like me
My name Isobel
Married to myself
My love Isobel
Living by herself
When she does it she means to
Moth delivers her message
Unexplained on your collar
Crawling in silence
A simple excuse
Nana na na na, Nana na na na
Nana na na na, Nana na na na
In a tower of steel
Nature forges a deal
To raise wonderful hell
Like me
Like me
My name Isobel
Married to myself
My love Isobel
Living by herself
When she does it she means to
Moth delivers her message
Unexplained on your collar
Crawling in silence
A simple excuse
Nana na na na, Nana na na na
Nana na na na, Nana na na na
Nana na na na, Nana na na na
Nana na na na, Nana na na na

"This is the story of Isobel; she was born in a forest by a spark, and as she grew up, she realized that the pebbles on the forest floor were actually skyscrapers. And by the time she was a grown-up woman and the skyscrapers had taken over the forest. She found herself in a city, and she didn't like all the people there so much, because they were a bit too clever for her."
Isobel was written by Björk, Nellee Hooper and Marius De Vries, and the lyrics were made by Sjón - his very first songlyric in fact.

Nellee Hooper and Björk produced it together, and released it in 1995 on Björk's second album "Post". To direct this video, Michel Gondry was once again called in for his unique visual style. The song was also based on the sonority of Elis Regina and later dedicated to her.

I hope you understand you are my hero.
In a world full of trashbags be the trash itself
What I absolutely adore about Bjork is that her visuals are so diverse and she's so versatile in her concepts, her music videos can go from trippy and unsettling experience to technological revolutions to arguably the most mesmerizing thing you've laid your eyes upon, without relying on shock factor or being way over the top, each element of her videos have their meaning to make such surrealism and eloquent eye candy that fill her repertoire
Dylan Navarijo
and the best part is, all of her videos match the feeling and emotion of the song perfectly
google sucks
i'd like to see the original footage, very mystery !
