I remember with great pleasure Björk's concert in 2007 in the Huentitán Canyon in Mexico. When she sang her hits using cutting edge instruments like the “Reactable” it blew my mind. She is a genius, she is always several steps ahead of what we hear in the music mainstream.
I met Thomas Knak once and talked to him about making this song. I told him it's my favorite song in Björk's catalogue and commented on how incredible it is that it yields such musical depth and complexity but with very few elements (and how that is probably the best example of musical talent you can get from a musician etc etc) and he told me that to record it, he went to a studio where Aerosmith was making something and they didn't even have to change anything because they were taking dozens of channels and he only needed like the half dozen that weren't being used lol
Who would have known That a boy like him Would have entered me lightly Restoring my blisses Who would have known That a boy like him After sharing my core Would stay going nowhere Who would have known A beauty this immense Who would have known A saintly trance Who would have known Miraculous breath To inhale a beard Loaded with courage Who would have known That a boy like him Possessed of magical Sensitivity Who would approach a girl like me Who caresses cradles his head In her bosom He slides inside Half awake, half asleep We faint back Into sleephood When I wake up The second time In his arms Gorgeousness He's still inside me Who would have known Who ahhh Who would have known A train of pearls Cabin by cabin Is shot precisely Across an ocean From a mouth From a From the mouth Of a girl like me To a boy To a boy To a boy
RIGHT!? It is the one song I am dying to hear performed...Ive seen her 6 times, and I never get to hear it. I once picked between two shows...and she performed it at the OTHER show. :/
Does anyone have a high res mp3 of this instrumental? Did it ever get a release? It’s so gorgeous in its own right and would so appreciate it if anyone would be able to share info or a file :))
