For my Production Analysis Final/Final Project, we have to
analyse the technical production, lyrics, song form etc of a
song.

He had a preselected list of songs, and he randomly gave
them out to the class.

She shuffled it, and handed em out.

I got the only electronic song out of all of em... Bjork-
Yoga.

I am happy. :)

"Joga"

all the accidents that happen
follow the dot
confidence makes sense
only with you
you don't have to speak
i feel
emotional landscapes
they puzzle me

then the riddle gets solved and you push me up to this:

...state of emergency...
...how beatuiful to be!...
...state of emergency...
...is where i want to be...

all that no-one sees
you see
what's inside of me
every nerve that hurts you heal
deep inside of me
you don't have to speak - i feel
emotional landscapes
they puzzle me
confuse

then the riddle gets solved and you push me up to this:

...state of emergency...
...how beatuiful to be!...
...state of emergency...
...is where i want to be...

...state of emergency...

...state of emergency...

p.s. "yoga" is a song she did w/ tricky on the nearly god
album. it's different from joga, which i think you meant
(judging by the title).

maybe you'll come away from this project liking bjork. it's
such a pity you don't because she's such a good lyricist,
singer, musician, producer, and star. joga's one of my fave
songs by her but it's tied with prolly 10 others for "#1".


 

offline Zeus from San Francisco (United States) on 2002-11-26 00:14 [#00456504]
Points: 14042 Status: Lurker



yeah, meant joga

i dont HATE her. i definatly like some of her remixes. she
just isnt someone id listen to all the time.

in fact, i wasnt familiar with this song until i heard it
today, and i really like the track. its from homogenic yeah?



 

offline Zeus from San Francisco (United States) on 2002-11-26 00:28 [#00456507]
Points: 14042 Status: Lurker



one thing that always bugged me...

why did alec empire do remixes for her?

i mean hes all about fuck the mainstream, ad fuck pop music
etc... i dont know... very odd. howd they get paired up? and
whyd he do it?

(i love his remixes btw) although he has done los of things
that i find suspicious

100s of people have done bjork remixes, she knows everybody.
basically the only rule is she has to like and/or respect
the remixer to put out a remix they did of her song(s). it
doesn't matter if the song isn't "meant" to be like that or
if the listener might be put off. bjork's very daring which
is definitely one of her endearing qualities.

i'd hardly call bjork "mainstream" no matter how many
millions of people know her. are you on crack or do you
really see no difference between bjork and britney spears,
or to be more serious (and fair), madonna? i think you're a
bit biased for whatever reason.

yes, joga is on homogenic.


 

offline Zeus from San Francisco (United States) on 2002-11-26 00:44 [#00456518]
Points: 14042 Status: Lurker



come come now. i did not call her maddonna or britney
spears. but i would definatly say she is mainstream. and by
mainstream, i mean widely known. not nessasarilly in a bad
connotation. Beatles are mainstream, but not in a bad way.
once again, i guess just different definitions of a word...

And as far as the remix, i wasnt so concerned with why she
picked him, but why he agreed.
and i think you still didnt get my point in the thread
talking about electronic music and people playing it live:
"if the song isnt "meant." i wasnt talking about remixes or
covers in that thread. i guess its too hard to explain in
words what i was getting at, cause obviously i couldnt get
my point across. so yeah, remixes and covers dont have to be
what the song is "meant" to be like. i know this. give me
some credit.

lets clam down. you seem to get so defensive so quickly!



 

offline titsworth from Washington, DC (United States) on 2002-11-26 00:49 [#00456523]
Points: 14550 Status: Lurker



how about the connotation of mainstream as sounding like
what most people listen to? that's the definition i act on,
whether or not it's the proper meaning.

as for alec, why wouldn't he accept? it's not like bjork's
madonna, as you just admitted. tons of ppl have remixed
bjork, and you know what? tons more respect, admire, and
like her.


 

offline Zeus from San Francisco (United States) on 2002-11-26 00:54 [#00456525]
Points: 14042 Status: Lurker



ok. whatever. lets not get all bent out of shape over a
word.

as for alec not accepting. I dont know. it just doesnt seem
to fit his character. he is all anti everything, (no need
to elaborate, you know all his work). and a girl singing
love songs, that are poppy electronica (sorry if i missused
any of these words)... just doesnt seem to fit.

and dude, I KNOW PEOPLE RESPECT< ADMIRE AND LIKE HER.

its only a personal preference of mine. She doesnt do much
for me. I dont hate her. I dont love her.

STOPPPPPP getting so defensive, and offended. Maybe its just
me, but your posts always seem to be really defensive, like
ive offended you. you always seem mad at me.

Points: 14550 Status: Lurker



when it comes to artists i've grown up with and have never
done anything to cause me lose my respect, awe, and
admiration, i get defensive. you would too if someone made
such unsubstantiated (insulting) claims like bjork's music
is "a girl singing
love songs, that are poppy electronica." that's like a slap
in the face, and you've said worse still. i get offended by
your posts cos unlike most people on here, you don't know
when not to say anything. you could easily stay objective
but you choose to offer your malformed and highly biased
opinions on artists whose music you've barely been exposed
to. if someone's taken the time and mental effort to really
listen to bjork's music and still dislikes it, i can live
with that. but it's unfuriating how you can be so
judgemental over artists (or genres, re: hip-hop) you've
barely lent your time and mental effort to.

ok, fuck this. im not gonna be dragged into this shit
again.

You need to not take things so seriously man.

im not even gonna try and explain myself, cause you just
dont want to hear it.

Im sorry for insulting your girlfriend (although I still
stand by my argument that I didnt) and its too bad you seem
to hold this grudge against me in all of your replies.

Youve made up your mind about me, which is also a very
uninformed and highly biased thing to do.

If every discussion we ever have is goin to end this way, im
goin to kindly ask you, from now on, dont respond to any
thread i post, and ill do the same.

Its really just pointless the debates we have.

and for the record, my best friend loves bjork, and for the
past 5 years, ive always listened to him playing her cds. i
dont know details about her, but I do know that I dont
really dig her. Ive have given her 5 years of chance, and
have 3 albums of hers, that i listened to, and gave them a
chance. and i still am not crazy about em.

goodnight

im goin to bed

i typically don't respond to your posts or write in your
threads but sometimes i do. i'm not promising anything, so
we'll see what i write to you in the future. i'm glad you're
as annoyed at my some of my posts as i am by some of yours,
although annoyance, believe it or not, is never actually
planned when i write. i really am speaking my mind, but like
in all interactions, biases do take their toll. it's not
like i like or dislike you (if i did, i wouldn't bother
talking to you).

side note: i really like the remix rza did of Bjork's -
Bachlorette. The hip-hop like beat really goes well with
the song/lyrics. To see someone like Rza colaborating with
Bjork, shows both their successes and acomplishments. imo

the fact is that bjork is certainly a way for some
electronic artists or group to emerge,even if they don't
become mainstream or something like that...in this way she
has put out lots of interesting names,not only through
remixes but also with live performances including talvin
singh,leila,plaid and matmos

From Kerrang!.com:

Guitarist planning Bjork tribute album

New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbert is to record a
version of Bjork's 'Joga' as part of a tribute album.
Gilbert is currently compiling an album with hardcore and
punk bands offering their interpretations of the Icelandic
experimental music star.

Says Gilbert: "I'm a really big fan, since I was young. A
lot of people in punk rock and hardcore really respect what
she does. There'll be a lot of bands on the tribute. I think
it would be good to introduce her to punk kids who might not
have really heard her music. There's some really heavy
bands, metal bands. Bjork fans will probably not like the
bands playing her music. But its not for them. There's a
couple of rather popular British bands who are going to do
it, but I can't say who at the moment, just in case it
doesn't happen. I'm going to do 'Yoga'. It'll be cool."

The album is expected next year, but a release date and
label have not yet been finalised. You can read the full
interview in the Kerrang! Yearbook 2002, on sale now priced
£4.99.

yes i have that one, got it on vhs but it's now available on
dvd. i luv it. if you like post era bjork then i recomend
you get it. all i can say is passion :)

some people are saying roh is their favorite of the live
bjork videos so don't take my word as final i guess. i get
the same impression watching the video as i did seeing her
live, that the vespertine songs don't really fit her live
performance style. they're all alone and "under the kitchen
table" like, as she has described it. she seems to be
holding back, where as with the the shepherd bush show she
can't seem to slow down.
