Björk Unravelled

For the love of Selma


Listen Later

Björk has a superpower that the best musicians do: she can create a character to tell a compelling musical story. 

One of Björk's characters is Selma, whom she played in the 2000 film Dancer in the Dark. She said that the soundtrack she created for the film was her gift to Selma.


Examining how these songs bring Selma to life demonstrates Björk’s brilliance as a storyteller — something that I think any film score fan or even country fan can appreciate. So in this episode I'll explore the rich interior world of Selmasongs.
