Selmasongs was released in September 2000 by Icelandic singer, musician and actress Björk as a soundtrack to the film Dancer in the Dark, in which she also starred as the main character, Selma.The album features classical arrangements as well as melodies and beats composed of sounds from mundane objects, such as factory machines and trains.
Notably, some of the song lyrics on the album are substantially different from the songs in the film; the most obvious example being "Scatterheart". Some lyrics were rewritten, perhaps to prevent spoiling crucial plot details, since the soundtrack was released in stores before the movie opened in theaters, or to make the record flow better as a stand-alone album. In particular, the song "I've Seen It All" loses much of its meaning, as Thom Yorke and Björk swap characters during the song (in the film, Björk duets with Peter Stormare and they maintain their characters throughout the song). In addition, the tracks "My Favourite Things" and "(The) Next-to-Last Song" do not appear on the album at all, possibly for the same reason. The track "I've Seen It All" was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song. For the track, Björk made a "webeo" with director Floria Sigismondi that premiered on September 1, 2000 on MTV.com. It used a shorter version of the song that the singer recorded specifically for the webeo.
