Björk | Sonnets/Unrealities XI

it may not always be so, and I say and if your lips, which I have loved, should touch another's and your dear strong fingers clutch her heart, as mine in time not far away if on another's face your sweet hair lay in such a silence as I know or such great writhing words, as uttering overmuch stand helplessly before the spirit at bay if this should be, I say, if this should be you of my heart, send me a little word that I may go unto her, and take her hands, saying accept all happiness from me, then I shall turn my face and hear one bird sing terribly afar in the lost lands

I'm always surprised no one has snagged my Björk button. She'd love to travel with you!

BJÖRK // MOUTH'S CRADLE [MEDÚLLA, 2004]

[quantumfrail]

The song is made up of vocals, as most the other songs in Medúlla. It features the Icelandic Choir, Mike Patton (from Faith No More), Rahzel (human beatbox) and Gregory Purnhagen (human trombone). It was written by the singer herself and co-produced with longtime collaborator Mark Bell. 

“The vocals on this track actually aren’t that manipulated, but they’re edited alot. A lot of chopping. The sounds that probably sound most synthetic are actually Rahzel just doing those crazy noises – you don’t believe it until you see him. But we did a lot of editing, we would get the noises and then place them in this track. I felt that with Rahzel, you need to do both the extremes. There’s one song – ‘Who Is It’ – with him doing a live take through the whole song, nothing’s edited or added on top, it’s just one take. The other extreme is in this song, where you take Rahzel and edit him all the way and make some sort of collage that only could’ve been made with him, no-one else. The choir was fun too. There are sections in this song that obviously have reverb, but we didn’t take it any further than that. There are some bass-sounds that are so heavy – that is actually Mike Patton. He is incredible, he has these effect boxes that usually guitars have on the floor and you step on them. He did the bass sort of heavy metal / death metal, then he put Octaver on it to make it an octave lower. So there’s a bit of that too. I’ve been joking with my mates that I really wanted to do a headbang choir song. So I started this song doing the choir arrangements, and then I had to find the beat to match it. It was fun. It sorta made me think of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody too’, there’s a bit of respect to Freddie. So people should be headbanging, then my dream would be fulfilled.” – Björk via XFM (25 August 2004)

Currently lying in my bed..

..under the covers..

..listening to Medúlla by Björk on CD..

..It’s 00:46 AM..

My clothes smell like smoke because of a fire I made in my backyard yesterday.

No school for one week.

I really feel happy. I feel like I’ll miss this kind of moment when I get older.
