Björk – Earth Intruders

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLjMFkZMzWo

久別三年, 冰島天后 Björk 正式回歸~ 新唱片 “Volta” 的封面設計依然古怪另類, 音樂上又有新鮮搞作~ 首張細碟 “Earth Intruders” 找來 hip-hop 監製 Timbaland 和 Danja 合作, 又有剛果樂團 Konono No.1 帶來只此一家的電子 Likembé 琴音, 得出一首極富原始氣息的熱鬧歌曲~ 說實在, Björk 很久未有過一首如此直接, 如此搶耳, 讓她盡情高呼大嚷的作品了~

歌曲的MV執導者正是法國動畫大師 Michel Ocelot, 就是以 “Kirikou and the Sorceress” (嘰哩咕歷險記) [1998] 成名那位, 今年電影節也曾播過他那部政治正確得幾乎過分的新作 “Azur and Asmar” (一千零二夜) [2006]~ “Earth Intruders” 的MV沒有錯過那分土著風味, 滿佈導演招牌2D平面設計的土人舞蹈剪影和自然風貌~ 不過以 Björk MV 一向極高的水準來說可能普通了一點…?

Björk – Earth Intruders

We are the earth intruders, we are the earth intruders
Muddy with twigs and branches, a-haaaaaa!

Turmoil! Carnage!

Here come the earth intruders, we are the paratroopers
The beat of sharpshooters, comes straight from voodoo

With our feet thumbing, with our feet marching
Grinding the skeptics into the soil

Shower of goodness coming to end the doubt pouring over
Shower of goodness coming to end

We are the earth intruders, we are the sharpshooters
Flock of parachuters, necessary voodoo

I have guided my bones through some voltage
And love them still, and love them too

Metallic, carnage, furiousity, feel the speed!

We are the earth intruders, we are the sharpshooters,
Flock of parachutersm necessary voodoo

There is turmoil out there, carnage! Rambling!
What is to do but dig, dig bones out of earth

Mud graves, timber, morbid trenches

Here come the earth intruders, there’ll be no resistance
We are the cannoneers, necessary voodoo

And the beast with many heads and arms rolling
Steamroller!

We are the earth intruders, we are the earth intruders
Muddy with twigs and branches

Forgive this tribe!

We are the earth intruders, we are the earth intruders
Muddy with twigs and branches

We are the earth intruders
Muddy with twigs and branches

We are the earth intruders
A-haaaaa!

We are the earth intruders
Muddy with twigs and branches
Marching!

We are the earth intruders
Muddy with twigs and branches
Marching!

March, march, march

We are the earth intruders, muddy with twigs and branches
Marching voodoo!
