bjork :: so broken




One of the saddest and greatest Bjork songs ever.

i’m so… completely unhealable, baby

“I recorded ‘So Broken’ that infamous week for me, the week of the bomb. The only way for me to write a song about it was just to take the piss. I wrote it in my house hitting the table singing, ‘I’m so broken (in corny, overwrought voice), olé!’ I was going to have the sound of washing dishes and three kids screaming; it would be a soap opera. Then I went to the studio in Spain and met the flamenco guitarist who plays on the track and stayed there for six months recording.”

    Hi Annita, thanks so much for commenting. This song is so extremely powerful. I remember the first time I heard it, I felt as if I had been cast under a hypnotic spell. So glad you appreciate it too!
