Originally released on her 1997 album “Homogenic”, Björk re-released “All Is Full Of Love” as a single in 1999, accompanied by a video (with a slightly different version) that featured what was back then certainly the most stunning computer animation that had ever been seen outside of lab demos. I remember being completely wowed when it first flickered across my screen. It would go on to be presented in art exhibitions and even was on display in New York City’s Museum of Modern Arts.

The song was written as an ode to spring, as Björk had spent a rough six winter months in the Icelandic mountains and was very glad to hear birds sing again on a cold April morning walk. And Chris Cunningham, having been approached by Björk to film the video, took up the theme of procreation for the video, ingeniously finding a way to make it quite explicit, yet in a way that would not incite censor’s wrath.
