Alarm Call

"Alarm Call" is a song recorded by Icelandic singer Björk for her third studio album Homogenic (1997).

The song, originally labelled "Jacko" on the Homogenic demo tape, speaks of reawakening through music.

[2] Björk explained: "I think that music has the power to change the things, and that's what I wanted to show on Alarm Call".

The first music video for "Alarm Call" was directed by Paul White from Me Company, the design firm that produced the artwork of Homogenic, Debut and Post, and their respective singles, and it featured Björk in a similar dress to the one featured on the Homogenic album cover along with a dance scene in the Los Angeles subway system.

[3] However, Björk was not pleased with the result and a second video was directed by fashion designer Alexander McQueen and filmed in October 1998, over a two-day period in London.
