Art with a Big A: Björk Ft. Antony Hegarty “The Dull Flame of Desire”

Published by Tape Recorder at 10:10 pm under Uncategorized

Björk and Antony Hegarty sing a beautiful, artistical duet The Dull Flame of Desire. It is a song that´s highly repeatable, not easy, but after about 3-4 times you get the hang of it.  The lyrics are absolutely beautiful, they are from a translation of a Fyodor Tyutchev poem in Tarkovsky´s Stalker movie.  And the video is unique too. According to Bjork.com “Out of hundreds entrants for the “Innocence” music video competition Björk chose 3 new directors to collaborate on the “Dull Flame” video. Each director was given their own section of the film, to develop how they wished - on completion the 3 films were edited together in London to make the final music video”.


The Dull Flame of Desire is written and produced by Björk (no men were in 10 meter radius while making the album, so music journalists can´t name a man as the producer).
