Innocence roared, still amazes - the feeling you get looking at a newborn baby.
this feeling that "I can never let anything in the world harm this creature- even if it means my own life"... this feeling is the ONLY legitimate reason to fight for protecting.
The same thing that makes us love a kitten. This is the only "real" power that cannot be granted to any creature but comes from within each of us. Sit still, in mind and body, for long enough - you will see it all around you ... everywhere.
The animation is fine - but I don't think the people who entered this competition (at least the finalists) really get Bjork. A lot of her videos don't even have humans in them, let alone herself. And her videos hardly ever directly relate to her lyrics. If they had abandoned the idea of making some creepy pseudo-Bjork sim standing around in the Volta sculpture surrounded by terror, they could have made something truly spectacular out of something different. This video is lame.
@IndustrialCake Obviously Bjork doesn't agree with you and the vast majority of all of her videos has her in them as the antagonist with either human or animal protagonists. Read my explanation about this video below.
if ever you awaken in the middle of the night from nightmares about boy george - this is a really wonderful song to get ya "back to proper sleeping"... i love this song !!!!!
@verdeneretfilter...yeah, it's very scary (boy george) - it'll all "go away" - just a really bad dream....it (boy george) never happened at all in the 1st place really, if ya think about it
... what is big n' bloated, dimpled & stinky like a garbage bag of used tampons with the applicator strings hanging down in yer face ? - boy george's crotch suffocating a gay hooker somewhere in a dark alley in London.... protect yourself - this song is awesome and i love the video !!...i also love meditation & Reiki (no more migraine headaches OR strange horrid nightmares of goy beorge raping hookers)
If anyone is wondering about the interpretation of this video. Bjork is supposed to be a Buddha in meditation about to receive enlightenment and is being bombarded by Mara and temptations to guide her away from the path. If you read about the Buddha's (Siddhartha Gautama) Enlightenment or Awakening, the video follows (although superficially) almost word for word, except for the huge toys, in the canon, Mara sends his seductive daughters. Personally I give the person who made this video, kudos!
why do people keep comparing Björk to Lady Gaga? they have NOTHING in common at all. Lady Gaga has no artistic integrity at all & her music has no meaning at all. how many product placements have u ever seen in Björk's videos?
is it just me or does this song give off some type of invisible energy i can't pin point and has me always coming back for more, hoping to find what it is or is it just that bad ass beat, i don't know
ya see... before meditation & Reiki... there was Eminem... if ya need to rid yourself of demons... there's nothing like an "eminexornemism"... *sigh... feelin' goooooood these days
Very cool, but too bad it wasn't remade as a more visually balanced, higher quality production with the real-life Bjork. I'd love to see the tattoo effect on her actual face as she sings.
I just heard this song yesterday for the first time. I am obsessed with it. Timbaland and Bjork make a great team. Is this whole album this good? Anyone know?
Not the whole album, just a few songs, like this, declare independence, earth intruders, and the dull flame of desire... :) not her best album definitly
actually there are many different songs :S there are 2-3 songs at the classical style of Bjork, also some ballads which can make an obsession if you like these style, but can make you hate them if you're into more classic ballads and some songs of these style like Earth Intruders and Hope..The best on the other side is the dull flame of desire that is a translation of a Russian poem...i would rate Volta 8/10 and to me that's a veeeery good mark :)
god i'm so dumb! i thought this was the official video and it won a contest for best video of the year (like the vma or whatever else). i also tought björk had a concept to computerize herself. now i understand after seeing the other videos.
this video is an amazing and quite professional graphic representation of the song's tune but it ties not with the theme of the song like volta's other videos. Still, though, good job!
while i think this video could have been made better - particularly lip synching - i can see why they chose this as the winner. it captures the essence of the song better than the others.
apart from being an amazing production, this video almost reflects bjorks' protest approach to china (declare independence/tibet song in shanghai this year). in the last section, the character appears to be in a toy factory, with the end segment of music contextualising it as in chinese. brilliantly subversive!!!!
i wasnt sure about listening this song because timbaland produced it (i hate timbaland and his previous works with maddonna, justin, furtado etc) but this is great. i guess i forgot this is a bjork's song
YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU ARE AN UNSOPHISTICATED SON OF A BITCH. I MEAN. I KNOW YOU DONT HAVE TO LIKE EVRYTHING BUT YOU DIDNT HAVE TO SAY F*** BJORK. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and it was very immature for you to say something like that

Innocence really shouldn't be perceived as an excuse for ignorance.
It's impossible to gauge; like love...
Still, that's no excuse!
It's impossible to know everything though.
Which begs the question...how can you define what is innocent or innocence since it is all "relative".
At least I know that I'm alive at this very instant!
