Been a while since I posted anything. Have yet to find any inspiration and mood to write, ideas are being strewn about inside my head and yet none of them seemed to want to be poured through my fingers into this empty blank page in front of me.
Today I stumbled upon this version of Hyperballad, a song originally sung by Bjork and I feel that this version is amazing, the use of the violins at the beginning, the chords swelling up to the dramatic chorus. I have always loved Hyperballad from the first moment I have heard it, and this version is really one of the best version I've heard so far!
"Hyper Ballad"
we live on a mountain
right at the top
there's a beautiful view
from the top of the mountain
every morning i walk towards the edge
and throw little things off
like:
car-parts, bottles and cutlery
or whatever i find lying around
it's become a habit
a way
to start the day
i go through this
before you wake up
so i can feel happier
to be safe up here with you
it's real early morning
no-one is awake
i'm back at my cliff
still throwing things off
i listen to the sounds they make
on their way down
i follow with my eyes 'til they crash
imagine what my body would sound like
slamming against those rocks
and when it lands
will my eyes
be closed or open?
i'll go through all this
before you wake up
so i can feel happier
to be safe up here with you
