“We discussed how to do something with the moving image that was a mirror of what was happening musically. . . . It had to have a different look from the video footage and from the digitally altered video footage. I knew it had to look as luscious as possible,” Chaudoir says. “It’s stripping away the artifice and the digital effects, into the raw image of Bjrk.”
Pagan Poetry is written and produced by Bjrk. It is the second song to be taken off her fourth studio album "Vespertine" as a single. The video to the track is done by Nick Knight who previously photographed Bjrk for the Homogenic cover image. Production: Gainsbury & Whiting. Director of Photography: Simon Chaudoir.

Pedalling through
the dark currents
I find an accurate copy
a blueprint
of the pleasure in me
Swirling black lilies totally ripe
A secret code carved : a secret code carved
Swirling black lilies totally ripe
He offers a handshake
crooked
five fingers
they form a pattern
yet to be matched
Swirling black lilies totally ripe
On the surface simplicity
but the darkest pit in me
is pagan poetry
pagan poetry
Swirling black lilies totally ripe
Morse : coded : signals
they pulsate : they wake me up
from my
hibernate
On the surface simplicity
but the darkest pit in me
is pagan poetry
pagan poetry
I love him
This time : I'm gonna keep it to myself
This time : I'm gonna keep me all to myself
She loves him
But he makes me want to hand myself over
She loves him
