Bjork - Triumph of a Heart

“Triumph of a Heart“ was the third single from Bjork’s album ’Medulla’. The video was directed by Spike Jonze. In the video, Bjork tires of her boyfriend, played by a real cat, and storms out of the house for a night out on the town. She goes to a pub where the soundtrack stops and the locals (including Dokaka) join her for a special performance of the song recorded for the video. She eventually returns back home and rekindles her affections for her cat-boyfriend. During the filming of the video, as she was running down the street, she accidentally stumbled and slid down the street with her face on the ground. The incident, as well as the scrapes on her face, were kept in the video. “Triumph Of A Heart“ The nerves are sending shimmering signals All through my fingers The veins support Blood that gushes impulsively towards Is the triumph of a heart that gives all That gives all The triumph of a heart that gives all That gives all The stubborn trunks of these legs of mine Serve as pathways for my favourite fuel Heading upwards towards my kidneys (That celebrate) The triumph of a heart that gives all Smooth soft red velvety lungs Are pushing a network of oxygen joyfully Through a nose, through a mouth But all enjoys, which brings us to The triumph of a heart that gives all That gives all.
