JOGA - Björk

Björk zegt zelf over 'Joga', de eerste single van Homogenic: "I think that song is several things. At the time, I was going to move to London for a couple of months to record an album. I ended up doing two records and touring the world. I'd never been so long away from Iceland, so when I started preparing for Homogenic, it was very obviously supposed to be a love album to Iceland and nature. It is my homesick song, romanticizing home. I'd learned enough about studios and beats to make modern Icelandic pop music. It isn't Icelandic music trying to be English or American. I was doing a lot of experimenting with beats trying to make them sound volcanic. With this song, I really had a sort of Icelandic National Anthem in mind tongue in cheek of course but still... Maybe not the National Anthem
