}} "All Is Full of Love" is a song by Icelandic musician Björk and is from her fourth studio album, ''Homogenic'' (1997). The lyrics are inspired by the presence of love in the advent of spring and Norse mythology's Ragnarök. The more popular version of the track, the original mix solely produced by Björk, was used in the music video but did not appear in the album. The album version is a remix by Howie B and has a minimalist approach and places emphasis on the singer's vocals. The video features a combination of electronic beats and string instruments. A remix by the German IDM duo Funkstörung was released as a single in the summer of 1998. The song later received a full single release in June 1999 to coincide with the release of its music video. While some commentators declared that the song was one of the highlights of the ''Homogenic'' album, the single performed moderately on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 24. In the United States it was a dance hit. The song and music video were released two years after the release of the album for artistic merit rather than promotional purposes. The song was included as the opening track in the compilation album ''Greatest Hits'' (2002), whose tracks were selected by fans through a survey. "All Is Full of Love" is regarded by some as the first DVD single. The accompanying music video, "All Is Full of Love" was directed by Chris Cunningham and depicts the assembling of a robot with Björk's features and her passionately kissing another robot against an ethereal and sterile backdrop. The song's video garnered acclaim from critics and is commonly regarded as one of the best music videos of all time and a milestone in computer animation. The subject of much analysis and scrutiny, it was on permanent display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City and has been included in various art exhibitions. Björk has performed "All Is Full of Love" in five of her tours, with the most recent being the Vulnicura Tour. It is one of Björk's most idiosyncratic songs, and has been covered by various artists. ==Background and composition== "All Is Full of Love", the closing track of ''Homogenic'', was the album's last track to be written and recorded. Produced by Björk, the original version of the track was replaced "at the last minute" by Howie B's mix. She asked him to capture the atmosphere "when the sun comes out after a thunderstorm."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=All Is Full Of Love )〕 It was inspired by the advent of spring while producing the album in Málaga, Spain. After living in the mountains among other people, for six months, Björk felt lonely, but a morning walk in April inspired her to write the track. Björk recalls: In keeping with ''Homogenic'' The lyrics begins with a promise of protection and caretaking: "You'll be given love / You'll be taken care of / You'll have to trust it".〔 The song moves towards a more reproachful tone as Björk sings, "You just ain't receiving / Your phone is off the hook / Your doors are shut,"〔 tempered by the recognition that you have to "Twist your head around you" that, "Love is all around you". This is effected musically by Björk's vocals as she sings the lyric "All is full of love" in counterpoint with herself.〔 The album version of "All Is Full of Love" does not have drum accompaniment in the ambient song.〔 It does not have ''Homogenic'' The video version of "All Is Full of Love" is a midtempo trip hop ballad with soul influences. In opposition to the sonically minimalist mix included in the album, this version has been described as "lushly produced"〔 and includes "fluttering harps and shivering strings."〔 The best known version of the song, and the most preferred by fans and Björk herself, it is known by various names including "Mark Stent Mix" and "Video Mix".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「All Is Full of Love」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
