**This video is Not Safe for Ramadan material, feel free to skip this post**
I’m not exactly sure what it is about this song that I like so much. I’m actually very much into words, linguistics, and etymology, so the thought of not using words ever again, or that they would ever become “useless” is a bit disturbing.
The video is outstanding, and is my second favorite Madonna video, falling behind “Ray of Light”, It is a very lyrically simplistic. That combined with the concept of just letting go completely, ‘getting unconscious’ is what seduces me the most about this song. Björk wrote this about surrendering to the beauty of subconscious and forgetting the useless things that consume our mind in the physical world.
The deal is: After listening to Debut (Björk’s album), Madonna asked her to write collaborate in the next album (which became Bedtime Stories), but Björk was touring and working on post so she wrote Bedtime Story with Nellee Hooper and Madonna for this album. Madonna loved the song so it became the title track. Madonna is a declared Björk fan and Björk also remixed some songs for Madge.
Someone just asked me what’s Björk… what a shame!
