"Isobel" is a song by Icelandic singer Björk. It was released as the second single from her 1995 album Post. The lyrics describe a primitive girl who seems to be a personification of Mother Nature, and who tries to warn the technological world of its potential dangers. The music is underscored by lush strings, electronic beats, and a jungle-influenced introduction. The song was rumored to have been inspired by the piece "The Wonderful Widow Of 18 Springs" by John Cage.

  • "Isobel" is a song by Icelandic singer Björk. It was released as the second single from her 1995 album Post. The lyrics describe a primitive girl who seems to be a personification of Mother Nature, and who tries to warn the technological world of its potential dangers. The music is underscored by lush strings, electronic beats, and a jungle-influenced introduction. The song was rumored to have been inspired by the piece "The Wonderful Widow Of 18 Springs" by John Cage.
  • Isobel es el segundo sencillo extraído del álbum Post de la artista islandesa Björk. La canción describe a una chica primitiva que parece ser una personificación de la Madre Naturaleza, y que trata de advertir al mundo tecnológico sobre sus peligros potenciales. Björk escogió el nombre Isobel ya que derivaba de Isolated que en inglés quiere decir "aislada". La música se compone de potentes cuerdas, ritmos electrónicos y una introducción influenciada por la jungla. El tema es una continuación de la canción Human Behaviour. La canción Bachelorette en el álbum Homogenic es la continuación de "Isobel" y la que culmina la saga. En el videoclip de "Bachelorette" al principio se ve un libro en el que pone "My Story: Isobel goes to the city" haciendo una clara referencia a "Isobel". La letra en ambos temas corrió a cargo del poeta islandés Sjón En el tema se escucha la frase "Moth delivers her message/Unexplained on your collar" ("La polilla deja su mensaje/Inexplicable en tu collar"), que hace referencia a una polilla que se posó sobre la camiseta favorita de Björk. Björk llevó la camiseta puesta todo el día, incluso se la quitó para nadar, pero la polilla se quedó posada sobre la camiseta.
  • Isobel è una canzone della cantante islandese Björk ed è il secondo singolo tratto dall'album Post. La canzone parla di una donna di nome Isobel (che più tardi Björk indetificherà con sé stessa e il suo amante) che vive da sola ed è sposata con sé stessa. La canzone non è stata un grande successo per Björk, ma è considerato un classico della cantante. Björk stessa ha dichiarato che Bachelorette, contenuta nell'album Homogenic, è la continuazione di Isobel. Infatti queste due canzoni fanno parte di un ciclo che comprende anche Human Behaviour e Oceania. Il testo della canzone è stato scritto da Björk e Sjón, che scriverà anche parte dei testi per l'album successivo.
