Bjork - Bachelorette

Wiki article on the song and video:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelorette_(song)

The song was originally written for a film by Bernardo Bertolucci, but the project was withdrawn. The lyrics for Bachelorette were written by Sjón as Björk tells in her website:

"Because I wanted the lyrics to be so epic, I got my friend Sjón - who's a poet in Iceland - to write them. We sat together at the kitchen table and drank a lot of red wine and I told him the whole story for hours and days and he wrote the words from that story. ”

The song is emotionally charged and theatrical, following the album's theme of "beats and strings", but also includes other instruments like timbales, timpani, Alp horn, accordion, etc., that make the song stronger and more dramatic. Björk herself describes the song's story as "Isobel goes to the city."
