"The Comet Song" is a song by Icelandic artist Björk, written by herself and long-time friend and collaborator Sjón as the title theme of the 2010 movie Moomins and the Comet Chase.[3][4] The song is released as a charity single and all the benefits are donated to the victims of the 2010 Pakistan floods.[5][6]
Bjork had previously declared to be a big fan of Moomins, and had worn clothes featuring characters from the series on several occasions.[7]
Music video[edit]
The music video is formed by pieces of the movie.[5] We can see the Moomins working in team and running away from the comet, among other things. The video is directed by Maria Lindberg, as is the film.
