I used to say debut was her best album. But this is the song that completely changed my life and view on Bjork. Her first 4 albums imo are the second best 4 album run ever and this is her best song. Not only that but she blows 95% of artists to ever make music out of the water and she makes at least 50% of artists that make music sound lazy and fame Hungary. She is Beatles levels of genius 11/10 song.
Still is surreal, interesting, the artist too I reckon. Beats listening to jingle pop in your local radio station. Would love to see live but I live in a Emmaus commune and have no money.
Very few things get me to cry. This music video, without fail, and no matter how many times I watch it, is still just as raw and powerful as the first watch. It’s also so I credibly ahead of it’s time, this video alone predates my existence by about six years. Thank you Björk, and to everyone involved in this video and song, for providing us this masterpiece. You are legendary.
I'm a path of cinders Burning under your feet You're the one who walks me I'm your one-way street [Verse 3] I'm a whisper in the water Secret for you to hear You're the one who grows distant When I beckon you near [Chorus] Leave me now, return tonight Tide will show you the way If you forget my name You will go astray Like a killer whale Trapped in a bay [Verse 4] I'm a tree that grows hearts One for each that you take You're the intruder's hand I'm the branch that you break
I'm a fountain of blood In the shape of a girl You're the bird on the brim Hypnotised by the whirl Drink me, make me feel real Wet your beak in the stream Game we're playing is life Love's a two-way dream [Chorus] Leave me now, return tonight Tide will show you the way If you forget my name You will go astray Like a killer whale Trapped in a bay
