Today, while America sparks grills and fireworks in honor of its Independence Day, we’re flipping the script—cue the sonic riot that is Björk’s “Declare Independence” live in Paris, 2008.
On June 25th, deep in the belly of L’Olympia, she didn’t just perform—she detonated. This wasn’t a show; it was a full-throttle emancipation sermon.
With her trademark megaphone and volcanic command, Björk unleashed a performance that made every beat feel like protest percussion. “Start your own currency. Make your own stamp. Protect your language.” It wasn’t lyrics—it was liberation etched into airwaves. Her voice wasn’t asking permission—it was issuing orders from the frontlines of identity, autonomy, and pure, unfiltered defiance.
As we mark the anniversary of America’s declaration, Björk’s manifesto reminds us: independence isn’t a relic—it’s a ritual. It’s Kosovo, Tibet, Greenland, Catalonia—and every underground voice still fighting to be heard. Her anthem is dedicated to them, and in our corner of the media galaxy, we echo that cry.
Because It’s Not You It’s Me isn’t just a name—it’s a declaration of creative sovereignty. It’s a space that celebrates rebellion, nurtures nonconformity, and cranks up the volume for the unheard.
So, whether you’re dodging small talk at backyard barbecues or crafting your own legacy in silence—blast that our restored version of the 2008 Paris cut of “Declare Independence.” Let every synth blast remind you that your truth is worth amplifying.
Raise your flag. Tear off their blindfolds. Declare independence. Fight the injustices. 🧨
