    Never really been a big Bjork fan.

    The lyrics are a bit... strange, if I'm honest. But in a way, they are touching. So she wakes up every morning and imagines throwing herself off a cliff so when she goes back to her partner she'll feel safer?

    I think its more like comparing suicide to life with her partner (maybe the relationship isn't so good?). She's comparing something horrible like suicide and her mortallity with being with her partner. Comparing death with a bad relationship, the relationship would seem better so then she'd be happier?

    Im googling other peoples views on it, and its very interesting. I'll post some good ones when i see.

    OMG Hyperballad, one of my favorite :grin:
    The best version is Bjork Hyperballad Live (Jools Holland 01.11.96) (Youtube it :wink:)
    I also have the Icelandic version and the Live at the Royal Opera is great too.

    EDIT: I still hate you Ty :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    xD I love Bjork! Although the first vid I ever saw of her was like, her flipping out on that reporter. So I was insanely scared of her for awhile.

    i am a bjork FANATIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    only just discovered her couple of weeks ago when i was reading that Patrick Wolf was influenced heaps by her. id heard her before, but i always thought she was just weird.

    but then i heard hyperballad. my first bjork love!!!!! amazing amazingly touching song and i love how it builds up, and im like almost crying by the end its soooo beautiful.

    then i realised that i love every single one of her songs. she can be really fun and dancy, or creative and experimental, or emotional and touching, or all 3. OMG

    I LOVE BJORK!!!!!!!!!

    Evidently, you also have a great affinity for exclamation marks.

    Bjork's not my favourite artist of all time, however I do enjoy listening to Oceania and find It's Oh So Quiet a lot of fun :slight_smile:
