when i did the video, i named it "passion/reason" about the two feelings, passion like ink, overtaking reason and multiplying, and then reason outlasting passion. It's a very gothic and spiritual song. That's the imagery I got from listening 300x! BUT her lyrics alone suggest that the mouth's cradle is a sort of place of holy origin, like a god or spirit that she finds refuge in. The last two lines? "shelter to build an altar away from the osamas and bushes". thanks, glad you enjoyed it! xo ls
Björk's artistic articulation is just so amazing -- possessed with unique form, compositionally resolute, and expansive -- so often bringing me, as a listener, beyond what I expect, and changing how I understand things.
They actually do, I spent a long time timing the cuts to beats, especially when the song slows down to nothing but, BUT youtube creates a slight lag in time where audio and video (because of the quality compression) do not line up as they were. Thanks for your observation though - I know, it bothers me a lot too.
I hope there is a way to make it sync by reposting it in another way... I'll try to figure it out (I'm waiting for a friend to make a clip for a song by me, and I would try to avoid such things).. ;-)
Yeah, I was kind of sad when it happened, because it takes quite a bit of effort to get things in sync! It may have been the way I compressed it in the video editing for Youtube only. My master version is not like that, also - compression made mine a bit darker than it was as a master.
bjork she's the true artist she doesn't need to wear bikini or to shake her hips or be surrounded of a man for we can watch her. she 's already has lovers all over the world because we love her just the way she is.
You made this? You MADE this? It's incredible - perfect for the song. I honestly thought it was the official clip - I was watching it and thinking how beautiful and clever it was when my eyes casually glanced at the video info where you said it was your work.
cold water, a huge vase, india ink, patience! I'm really glad you like it. I had no idea what I was doing at the time, it was the first video I've ever made... I'm very attached to the song too.
Took about 8 hours to shoot, emptying the water and then refilling, then adding the dye over and over again, focusing was difficult sometimes. Editing, however, took about 70 hours altogether, because there were 4 hours of footage to go through. I'm glad you like it, thank you!
This song does have a meaning. I heard it is about breastfeeding. BTW the music set to the Pripyat, Ukraine (Chernobyl) images are a lot more powerful. Pripyat was a city evacuated from the radiation in 1986, and was left as it is.
i dont care the video it all just the song is amazing even with a black backgrund the song builds a great picture with all that specials and weirds voices and
No, I would disagree. There is lag on youtube, between sight and sound unfortunetly. Most movements on this video align with beats in the song, especially the heavy bass later in. It also grows in complexity as the song does, to the point where it reflects gothic chapel scenery to align with the gothic voices rising in the song. I guess of course, you might be the same type of person who looks at a Pollock and says, "Anybody could have splattered paint on a canvas!", wouldn't you?
im sorry, i shouldn't have jumped at you like that, but yes, you are right in that way about how these are very universal images. water, and then mirrored imagery, recalls fractals, smoke rings, exhaust movements, and it seems very familiar and relaxing to most. i thought you were saying i didn't work at trying to put imagery to music and i was offended at that (i listened to this song for 10 hours over two days!)
this video is so mesmerizin. I particularly love 1:30 where the 2 small drops of black start to fall into the flower but stops mid-drip(I also like that the flower & ink are sideways,but the ink still looks as though it's dripping down). then the ink just snakes in & engulfs the flower from the middle part outward. very pretty :D
LOVE THIS VIDEO! I've always been fascinated by the patterns created by colored fluids in another fluid; the swirls cream makes when poured into coffee, the oil drip from a car swirling into black rainbows in a rain puddle. Excellent!
Björk es sencillamente increible!!! amo todo lo que hace y amo todo lo que es!!! su musica esta en cada momento de mi vida... L O V E - B J O R K !!!!!!
spectacular! you did a fantastic job on this video, and the visuals really complement the song perfectly. whenever I listen to this song now, I'll always have these images running through my mind :)
That's an awesome fact (the album being called "ink"). I must have listened to Mouths Cradle about twenty times in a row for a few days trying to picture what it sounded like. It does sound like ink, they nailed it. Thanks for letting me know!
This is stunning, Bjork would definitely love it. At first I thought it was the official video, because it fits perfectly with her style. Keep up the amazing work (:
Funny you should mention that - it was in a filmfest here and they had three big screens and several small tv screens at once, it was at the height of perfect, i was so happy.
that was impressive. im semi-stunned (obviously, i can still write this comment.) far out. maybe you should send that to Björk just to see her reaction. far out! what editing software do you use?
i would love to send it to bjork... and then i worried i might get sued for something, haha. i used final cut pro for editing. thanks for the sweet comments, im glad you enjoyed it.

No, I would disagree. There is lag on youtube, between sight and sound unfortunetly. Most movements on this video align with beats in the song, especially the heavy bass later in.
