if you are not brazilian, know that this song is a tribute to Elis Regina and Bjork wrote while listening to her voice.

I used to sing this at the top of my lungs walking home from school. You made me such a hip kid, thanks!

This lady's body of work will be admired by art historians far, far into the future.
She is a creature of impeccable style and talent, never ceasing to astound and delight.
I'm not an academic, or an artist; simply a 64 years old Australian man with a high school education who has had a love of music his entire life; and I believe Bjork to be a unique phenomenon.

What I absolutely adore about Bjork is that her visuals are so diverse and she's so versatile in her concepts, her music videos can go from trippy and unsettling experience to technological revolutions to arguably the most mesmerizing thing you've laid your eyes upon, without relying on shock factor or being way over the top, each element of her videos have their meaning to make such surrealism and eloquent eye candy that fill her repertoire

I would listen to isobel on repeat 20 years ago. It is such a magical song. It just made me dream and believe in fairy tales.

[CarbonatedTurtle]

Best song she's ever done on her best album. I still have fond memories of lying back in a rowboat in the middle of a lake at night to look up at the stars while listening to this song when it came out.

We are finally free from the 240p hell

I heard this song for the first time at 9 in 2002 when I first moved with my family home to Finland from Canada. MTV was wonderful then for having in focus hours on artists and I became enamoured with Björk and many other artists at the time. Björk will though forever hold a special place for me of the time for combining a magic of Nordic mysticism in her music while being completely cutting edge to this day. Can't help but tear up a bit a little every time I hear this <3

in a forest pitch dark
glowed the tiniest spark
it burst into flame

my name isobel
married to myself
my love isobel
living by herself .

I started to listening to Björk at the start of this current year 2022. I can't believe I've been missing such epic songs for too much time...

[marinadelocean]

I didn't appreciate this music when I was a child, but I sure as hell appreciate it now.

[victorhugoayres]

É lindo saber que essa música foi escrita em homenagem à Elis Regina, a eterna Pimentinha. <3

Back when I was born in the mid 70's my parents hesitated between Isabelle and Isobel(le) as a name for me. "There's no song about an Isobel(le) and plenty for an Isabelle" was my dad's argument and that's how I got an A in my name. I always felt a strong connection to this Bjork song. Has it existed back in the days, I'm pretty sure my name would be Isobelle.

[raxes]

Her name is björk, and our television is going about to explode

[tombar]

this is from 1995 - it could also be 2020.

the sound is simply timelessly beautiful -

thank you for the music!

[AndresMorenov]

This song takes me to a different place, somewhere out of space where I can hide. I just have to close my eyes. Na na na... na na...

[AmarisNWonderland]

This is the most magical song ever...

I remember blasting this on repeat while suntanning & the birds going absolutely nuts, bursting into song at the end, each time.
It was thrilling!
🌞💙🎶😌🎶🦜💙

This song is one of my happy places. Thank you, Björk! 😘

Highly original.
What I always apprecate about Bjork, she creates a detailed, fully fleshed out, artistic world. She never failes to immerse me into the full experience she somehow manages to create.
She is much more than a singer, a composer or even a typical artist. She creates new worlds from her head, into our head.

In a forest pitch dark
Glowed the tiniest spark
It burst into a flame
Like me, like me
My name Isobel
Married to myself
My love Isobel
Living by herself
In a heart full of dust
Lives a creature called lust
And it surprises and scares
Like me, like me
My name Isobel
Married to myself
My love Isobel
Living by herself
When she does it, she means to
Moth delivers her message
Unexplained on your collar
Crawling in silence
A simple excuse
Nanana-nana
Nanana-nana
Nanana-nana
Nanana-nana
In a tower of steel
Nature forges a deal
To raise wonderful hell
Like me, like me
My name Isobel
Married to myself
My love Isobel
Married to myself
When she does it, she means to
Moth delivers her message
Unexplained on your collar
Crawling in silence
A simple excuse
Nanana-nana
Nanana-nana
Nanana-nana
Nanana-nana
Nanana-nana
Nanana-nana
Nanana-nana
Nanana-nana
