Björk | Oral feat. Rosalía

Your mouth floats above my bed at night, my own private moon Just because the mind can make up whatever it wants Doesn't mean that it'll never come true Whatever happened? Just because she can, please, could I change that? Let me introduce one to the other The dream and the real, get them acquainted Just because she can; introduce a mouth to a mouth Is that the right thing to do? Oh, I just don't know, I just don't know Can I just sneak up from behind? To the back of his head, and then I lift up his hair And live forever so lightly, that's where her hair starts Just because she can; now, please, can I kiss him? Just because she can; yo quiero besarle Just because she can; come on, please? Can I kiss him?

Spotify Single Review: Madison Cunningham - “Army of Me” and “Life According to Raechel”

Madison Cunningham’s new Spotify Single pairs Björk’s “Army of Me” with Revealer’s “Life According to Raechel” and proves the singer more capable of covering the Icelandic mononym than herself.

The A-side is a slow-burning firecracker backed with a dud as Cunningham seems to rearrange the vocals and strip down the music only for the sake of change on the B-side.

But, man, “Army of Me” is spooky-good as Cunningham sets it to a moody, slightly angry piece of subdued music and recasts Björk’s warning in a you-best-tread-lightly mode as she fairly seethes:

And if you complain once more/you’ll meet an army of me

Cunningham’s delivery is so convincing Sound Bites will say nothing about “Raechel” beyond recommending listeners go straight to the album version.

Grade card: Madison Cunningham - “Army of Me” and “Life According to Raechel” - A-/D

Björk | The Comet Song from Moomins and the Comet Chase

[doyoulikethissong-poll]

Björk - Army of Me 1995

"Army of Me" is an aggressive industrial rock and trip hop song with elements of techno dominated by a heavy bassline in C Locrian; a mode used more sparsely throughout history due to its perceived dissonance and instability. The song's drum part is sampled from Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks". It was released as the lead single from Icelandic musician Björk's second studio album, Post (1995). The song was written and produced by Björk and Graham Massey, who helped her in producing and writing the majority of her third album.

Lyrically, the song was inspired by the damaging behavior of Björk's brother, and in the lyrics she tells him to stand up to regain control of his life. It was well received by music critics, who noted its darkness compared to her other material. "Army of Me" was a commercial success, and her first single to enter the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart. Björk premiered the song on some gigs during the Debut tour before the release of Post. She performed it in a series of TV appearances, and notably, for the first time on Top of the Pops with Skunk Anansie.

"Army of Me" won an Icelandic Music Award for Song of the Year. The song was also ranked number 316 in Blender magazine's "The 500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born". In 2012, the song was ranked number 71 in Consequence of Sound's "Top 100 Songs Ever". The video was nominated for two MTV Video Music Awards, one for Best Special Effects in a Video and one for International Viewer's Choice Awards – MTV Europe. A remix by Skunk Anansie was featured in the 2011 film Sucker Punch, and it goes HARDDD. Listen to it here!

"Army of Me" received a total of 63,6% yes votes!

Björk: It’s Oh So Quiet (1995)

[wheatbeats]

Hi. I am here from the rec you put on xekstrin’s blog. So since you asked please talk about your favorite songs (because i am very much into the tenderness + vulnerability + fucked up things)

Anon I'm kissing you on the mouth.

I would like to start with full disclosure that my favorite songs range from this emotional world of vulnerability and pain to a guy shouting "you're stupid!" for 3 minutes over ska horns. I will add further disclosure that I'm a music guy before I'm a lyrics guy. With that in mind, let me present a handful of songs from this vague songwriting genre I like to call: "I love you but watch out."
