Björk - Quicksand 

Best song off of "Vulnicura" in my opinion. A great finale to an epic album.

The final lyrics are a prelude to Utopia... her preoccupation with the future...

"Where choreographed oxygen Embroiders the air" you can't write lyrics more beautiful than that. holy fuck

this just feels sadder to listen to after listening to ancestress... i'm so sorry for ur mom bjork, may she rest in peace :(

are you kidding me? I'm simply amazed, this is so fucking good.

Every daughter with a strong bond with their mother gets this song.

i think vulnicura was the first album from Bjork i heard in full and i fell in love upon the first listen. never has been difficult for me to appreciate her work

Rest in peace Björk mom.

Define her abyss Show it respect Then a celestial nest Will grow above When I'm broken, I am whole And when I'm whole, I'm broken Our mother's philosophy It feels like quicksand And if she sinks I'm going down with her Locate her black lake The steam from this pit Will form a cloud For her to live on When she's broken, she is whole And when she's whole, she's broken Our mother's philosophy It feels like quicksand And if she sinks I'm going down with her Hackle this darkness Up to the light Where choreographed oxygen Embroiders the air When we're broken we are whole And when we're whole we're broken We are the siblings of the sun Let's step into this beam Every time you give up You take away our future And my continuity and my daughter's And her daughters And her daughters And her daughters

Rest in peace Hildur Rúna Hauksdóttir

Wow. Actually good tecno. Not just a loop with a 4 chord sequence. Always loved Björk always will.

twerking

woah, this is different for her. I love how she tries so many different things. :3

One of the realest songs ever

Interesting abrupt ending. Still getting acquainted to this album. Got Stonemilker, Lionsong, History, and this one down so far.

I wish she would've made a music video for this song. Favorite song off the album.

this is almost everyones least fav but its literally one my favs

This song gives me goosegumps. I can´t believe what I'm hearing

I’ve never heard or read anything that captures inter generational trauma (and how it can heal) better than this

My favorite song off of Vulnicura which is in my opinion a hard listen to as a whole. This is the song I connected to more than any of the others. Will have to give the whole cd another listen to soon.

I'll never stop crying to this song.

I’ve listened to a lot of Björk songs but for some reason this is (imo) among her very best

Me encantó que esta canción haya sido la que cerrara Vulnicura. Es simplemente perfecto.

The only bad thing is the way it ends

Love the drum beat on this and the strings are so mesmerizing..

OMG IT TOOK 2 years for this song to grow in me, and now its simply amazing I LOVE IT SO MUCH

you can also think of the abrupt ending as the nature of the separation itself/new attitude towards dealing with new pain as it comes.

The male vocals sound like he's getting beat up. Gives me the shivers every time.

very techno sounding, but more with.... Bjork :)

Most fav track on the album. Re-listening on Mothers Day 2021 :)

“Every time you give up You take away our future And my continuity and my daughter's And her daughters And her daughters And her daughters”

Did you guys went to Bjork Digital ?! Sh*t, the animations of quicksand and the total expirience with this song was outstandig I totally clap on this womam's work She is amazing

Ufff esta canción + realidad virtual es la experiencia más hermosa que podrás tener.

This song reminds me of something that would be in Final Fantasy XIII! It reminds me of cocoon and just the overall vibe of that game!

I wonder if she will perform an "utopian" version of this song, it would be awesome

Thank you

this + Mouth Mantra + Stonemilker = my fave songs off Vulnicura! the only track along with Stonemilker Arca didn't work on at all , this is purely Björk - I really love those strings arrangements btw. (EDIT: Arca: "...Quicksand in which I had very little input other than just some opinions and a very small part in the synth sound design for the keyboard part she had written...")

And her daughters...

Absolute banger.

To Matt: I don't have an answer to the question of what happens when you create a universe and need friends and collaborators. All I can say is that I will continue to grow and deepen such that if you or anyone else who gets there fucks up, I have your back.

flott :)

< PHKN PHAT !

I've always loved this song so much, but the final mix sounds pretty rushed :/

Yo

Arca did a good job

Also to Matt: I mean... cool that Lucifer is Marx and Momotaro Engels, but like, smart people get me.

My Ya Moto is too busy to remember Lenin.
