Björk à propos du titre Bachelorette
bachelorette for me is part three, of 3 songs 1 : "human behaviour" is the childhood 2 : "isobel" a story of a girl that leaves nature for the big city she is run by impulse so she gets misunderstood amongst urban logic it is instinct versus logic. she gets burned so she retreats to rural to heal and isolates herself but trains moths to go back to the city and fly infront of the faces of people who are stuck in making too much sense and say "na na na na" until they snap out of it. 3 : "bachelorette" is then about following the moths returning again to the city but with strength wounded and wiser confronting coldness with love therefore i wanted the arrangements to be romantic, as epic as possible, the grandiousestest drama ever but still with love

That’s the only song I thought was a bit too self-indulgent. I’m moaning a bit in that song...I guess it’s about when I was doing the film music ( Dancer In The Dark ) . You write a song for them and they hear it and say, ’Can you cut out 41 bars ? Er, no. I was excited, I felt ready to be very collaborative, but I wrote that in the middle of the film when i was tired of changing my tracks because some Danish person ( Von Trier ) thought something. But I’m taking a piss out of myself too. That line , "I’ve thrive best hermit style, like a beard and a pipe". It’s like ; "C’mon, communicate, collaborate, get a life." I speak out if I don’t like something. I’ll say it y’know ? But that’s OK when people collaborate.

with unison i was very keen to try to capture this magical walking as if you are walking through a forest exalted and it is one of the few times when forces of harmony and equilibrium are actually going your way the bassline was an attempt for this kinda slow trance walk at the time, it was a counter emotion to a massive struggle i had just been through the melting after a long term conflict or attemot for one ..... for sometimes when you want something really bad you just have to make a musical mockup and then move into it
