one hand loves the other
so much on me

born stubborn, me
will always be
before you count 123
i will have grown my own private branch
of this tree

you: gardener
you: discipliner
domestically
i can obey all of your rules
and still be: be

i never thought i would compromise
i never thought i would compromise
i never thought i would compromise

let's unite tonight
we shouldn't fight
embrace you tight
let's unite tonight

i thrive best
hermit style
with a beard and a pipe
and a parrot on each side
but now i can't do this without you

i never thought i would compromise
i never thought i would compromise
i never thought i would compromise

let's unite tonight
we shouldn't fight
embrace you tight
let's unite tonight

one hand loves the other
so much on me

let's unite tonight
we shouldn't fight
embrace you tight
let's unite tonight

let's unite tonight
we shouldn't fight
embrace you tight
let's
ahhh...

If she went for a walk in a dodgy part of Moscow, do you think it'd be a Bjork on the Wild side? or maybe she'd be Bjork in the U..S..S..R Sorry this song is driving me mad, its horrible

I guess I can see why someone would find this interesting to listen to, but whatever its achievement in tone or technique, it leaves me feeling absolutely nothing. The build-up at the end seems so contrived - like the song had to change somehow, so why not pretend it's really intense. And all those clicks and pops just sound like faulty wiring. Is that the point?

But, I believe the proper pronunciation of her name rhymes with jerk.

I had a dream last night that God was in my son's room talking to him. God said "Actually, everything took three weeks, and that first week was really really long." And this reminds me of Bjork :nodhead: :nodhead:

So sad. So many tired listeners out there who don't "get" bjork.

Go back to your american idol, reruns of full house and eating your jello pudding pops... you'll be much happier I for one, will continue to enjoy her unique talent btw - if Björk married Bjorn Borg she'd be - yup you guessed it..... married to a swede.

...and then, a visit from the - stork!? The truth is I think she's brilliant, and should come to play a private concert for me and all my friends as soon as she can.

Will try to learn to appreciate her. Right now, struggling.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this!! Thanks for playing it. I'm in Bjork nirvana right now...

One of my favorites, thank you!! I completely agree with Elton John, when he said about Bjork, "I think she is genuinely, in popular music, the only true innovative artist that's out there." Regarding the reporter incident, here's what I've heard about it. That same reporter had been following her around harrassing her for months, and that day when the reporter went for her little boy, she just lost it and went ballistic. She later apologized and sent flowers, but the damage to her reputation was done.

I really do quite like the sound of Bjork's voice. I've gotten to really enjoy her music after hearing so much of it on radio paradise. So I said to my wife last night that I would like to buy one of Bjork's albums. And do you know what Bonita said? "I'll never buy one of Bjork's albums after she beat up that reporter." It seems that Bjork flew to Thailand, and was greeted in the airport by the press. A reporter said to Bjork "Welcome to Bangkon". And then Bjork beat the living crap out of the reporter. She had the poor woman on the ground and was beating her senseless. I found this hard to believe but Bonita claimed that she saw a news video of the event on TV. Does anyone know more about this?

Forget all the other music you've ever heard and just let it flow over you.

I'm surprised (and sorry) this song doesn't rate higher. I find her music to be adventurous, unique and beautiful. She is a refreshing breath of fresh air in this age of homogenized commercial music. I never get tired of hearing her sing. Thanks for playing this one.

Bjork has a wondeful voice. I enjoy the passion she puts in her voice. The back grounds are great with the violins and voices makes her sound like an angel. You know?

Different reaction for me. It started bad and got worse. I just don't get Bjork.

I've enjoyed Bjork on the radio, however, never knew she could project such sensitivty. Very interesting singer and she seems like a fun person. I'd probably like to sit down and polish off a bottle of good wine with her.

Well now I have the answer to the question: what would it feel like to be labotomised thru my ears...
