Selmasongs is an album released in September of 2000 by Icelandic singer and actress Bjrk 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 movie; the most obvious example being "Scatterheart". Some lyrics were rewritten to prevent spoiling crucial plot details, since the soundtrack was released in stores before the movie opened in theaters. 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.
