Born and raised in Reykjavík, Björk began her music career at the age of 11 and gained international recognition as the lead singer of the alternative rock band the Sugarcubes, by the age of 21. After the Sugarcubes disbanded in 1992, Björk began a solo career. She came to prominence with albums such as Debut (1993), Post (1995), and Homogenic (1997), collaborating with a range of artists and exploring a variety of multimedia projects. Her other albums include Vespertine (2001), Medúlla (2004), Volta (2007), Biophilia (2011), Vulnicura (2015), Utopia (2017) and Fossora (2022).
Several of Björk's albums have reached the top 20 on the US Billboard 200 chart. As of 2015, she had sold more than 20 million records worldwide. Thirty-one of her singles have reached the top 40 on pop charts around the world, with 22 top-40 hits in the UK, including the top-10 singles "It's Oh So Quiet", "Army of Me", and "Hyperballad" and the top-20 singles "Play Dead", "Big Time Sensuality", and "Violently Happy". Her accolades and awards include the Order of the Falcon, five BRIT Awards, and 16 Grammy nominations. In 2015, Time named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world. Rolling Stone named her the 60th greatest singer and the 81st greatest songwriter.
Björk starred in the 2000 Lars von Trier film Dancer in the Dark, for which she won the Best Actress Award at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival, and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song for "I've Seen It All". Biophilia was marketed as an interactive app album with its own education program. Björk has also been an advocate for environmental causes in Iceland. A retrospective exhibition dedicated to Björk was held at the New York Museum of Modern Art in 2015.

The lyrics of Björk's song "Sidasta Eg" translate to "The Last Me" in English. The song begins by describing a sense of observance and connection to someone, as if the singer is closely watching their every move. The reference to "bak við veggfóðrið" or "behind the wall lining" suggests a sense of hiddenness or secrecy. The chorus repeats the phrase "sidasta eg," emphasizing the importance of the singer's own self or identity. The final lines of the song translate to "The last me in the world, I seek to look at myself."

Very unusual in that she never has guitars on her tracks...
@jukujuku6153
There were a few but I believe this song and Stigdu Mig were both from a previous project before she went solo. So Broken uses an acoustic
@chanfainacorp
This one and So Broken let us know how stunning a guitar based Bjork's song can be.
@brittanyzielinski2914
