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.

Sweet Sweet Intuition
Close your eyes
Listen closely
All that you've learned
Try to forget it
Rival of instinct
And sweet intuition
What makes you tick
Try to remember
All that you've learned
Try to forget it
Believe in, believe in
Believe in istinct
And sweet intution
Sweet intuition
Sweet intuition
Sweet intuition
Sweet intuition
And inside
We're all still wet
Yearing and longing
Repeat after me
Fuck logic, fuck logic
Rival to istinct
And sweet intuition
Sweet intuition honey
Sweet intuition
Sweet
Sweet intuition honey
Sweet
Sweet intuition
Sweet intuition
Huh

The lyrics to Björk's Sweet Sweet Intuition appear to be an ode to the power of our natural instincts and intuition. The song encourages the listener to forget all that they have learned and to instead trust their instincts, which are described as "sweet intuition". The repetition of the phrase "Fuck logic" emphasizes the importance of instinct over reason and intellect. It seems as if Björk is urging her audience to give in to their primal nature and trust their gut feelings rather than overthinking things.
In the second half of the song, Björk describes how, despite our attempts to appear polished and put together, deep down we are all still "wet" and searching for something. She keeps reiterating the importance of intuition and encourages the listener to repeat it after her, almost like a mantra. The message of this song seems to be that we should not ignore our natural instincts and that trusting ourselves is the key to finding whatever it is we are searching for.

I love this beautiful song. And I agree, logic is overrated :)

+Alyssa Graves Intuition is still some kind of logic, just far more complex and elusive than mathematical logic, for which we tend to give too much credit, I agree.
