I present the song that changed my life and made me into a permanent Björk stan
"Enjoy"
from the album Post
are there other Björk stans lurking about? I always want to have in-depth discussions about her music but most people just think of it as "weird"
that time Björk made a song about me
"Venus as a Boy"
from the album Debut

fun fact, Björk's favorite book is The Story of The Eye by George Bataille, in which a main character pleasures herself with a dead person's eyeball (among other things). this makes it sound awful but it's actually an excellent book.
ANYWAY, Bataille's erotism inspires the song, and the video was supposed to be inspired by the book, hence the eggs.
the director made her fry the eggs, because she hadn't read the book. Björk was upset because the eggs had to be whole for it to make sense. afterward, the director DID read the book, and agreed.
I never noticed that her voice in this video is extremely ASMR lol
oh wait this is the full one, where she says
YOU SHOULDN'T LET POETS LIE TO YOU
this interview is what made me fall in love with Björk, the woman
