Hyperballad - Bjork

Hyperballad로 Bjork을 처음 알게 되었다.
물론 테이프를 만들어 준 친구 덕분으로... (지금으로부터 대략 11년전인듯)
처음 이 노래를 들었을 때는 충격 그 자체였다.
노래를 듣자 마자 재빨리 CD를 구하려 했으나, 우리나라에서는 금지곡이어서 (자살 조장이라나 뭐라나-_-), 때마침 홍콩으로 여행가는 회사 사람에게 부탁하여 마침내 손에 넣고야 말았다.
그 이후 지금까지 Bjork의 노래를 많이 들었지만 Hyperballad만큼 충격적인 노래는 없는 것 같다.

We live on a mountain
Right at the top
Theres 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
Its become a habit
A way to start the day
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

Its real early morning
No-one is awake
Im 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
When it lands
Will my eyes
Be closed or open?

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

Safe up ( here with you ) ...
