    Björk Guðmundsdóttir (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈpjœr̥k ˈkvʏðmʏntsˌtouhtɪr], born 21 November 1965), known mononymously as Björk (/ˈbjɜːrk/), is an Icelandic singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and occasional actress. She initially became known as the lead singer of the alternative rock band The Sugarcubes, whose 1987 single "Birthday" was a hit on US and UK indie stations and a favorite among music critics. Björk embarked on a solo career in 1993, coming to prominence as a solo artist with her single "Human Behaviour" and her album Debut. She has since had 30 singles reach the Top 40 on pop charts around the world, with 22 Top 40 hits in the UK, including the Top 10 hits "It's Oh So Quiet", "Army of Me", and "Hyperballad". Additionally, "Big Time Sensuality", "Hyperballad" and "I Miss You" were number one Dance Hits in the US. Over her three-decade career, she has developed an experimental and eclectic musical style that draws on a wide range of influences and genres spanning electronic music, dance, pop, and the avant-garde. Critics have consistently praised Björk's work, praising her innovative approach to singing and composition, her musical experimentation, her music videos, and her distinctive voice; she has been described as "the most important and forward-looking musician of her generation" and "the best non-pop female vocalist of the last 30 years."

    Famous quotes by Bjork:

    "You have my heart,"
    "What probably confuses people is they know a lot about me, but it quite pleases me that there's more they don't know."
    "All Is Full of Love,"
    "Im a fountain of blood. In the shape of a girl"
    "There's no map to human behaviour."
    "I find it very difficult to draw a line between what's sex and what isn't. It can be very, very sexy to drive a car, and completely unsexy to flirt with someone at a bar."
    "Football is a fertility festival. Eleven sperm trying to get into the egg. I feel sorry for the goalkeeper."
    "People are always asking me about eskimos, but there are no eskimos in Iceland"
    "Talking about producer Nellee Hooper: 'He's not one for mediocre experiences."
    "The media like drama so it's 'She's in Hell.' And I'm like no, I had a bad day in February and a bad day in September but a brilliant summer'."

    An Echo A Stain

    by: Bjork

    She touched
    My arm
    And smiled
    One of these days
    Soon
    Very soon
    Love you 'til then
    Love you 'til then
    Feel my breath
    On your neck
    And your heart
    Will race
    Don't say no to me
    You can't say no to me
    I won't see you
    Denied
    I'm sorry you saw that
    I'm sorry he did it
    An echo
    A stain
    A stain
    I can't say no to you
    I can't say no to you
    Say nothing
    Free falling
