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 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
It's 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 till they crash I imagine what my body would sound like Slamming against those rocks
And 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 Safe up here with you Safe up here with you Safe up here with you Safe up here with you Safe up here with you Safe up here with you Safe up here with you
말이 필요없는 비요크 최고의 명곡 가운데 하나. 잔잔하고 전자음과 구슬픈 목소리로 시작하여 점차 고조되다가 파워풀한 테크노 비트로 거기서 현악기로 구성된 오케스트라로 마무리되는 곡이다. 공허하고 몽환적인 반주, 서정적인 멜로디, 기승전결이 뚜렷한 구성, 그리고 현악기와 테크노 비트가 교차되는 후반부가 특징이며 수많은 팬들이 다음 앨범 《Homogenic》의 ‘Joga’, ‘Bachelorette’와 함께 비요크의 최고 명곡으로 손꼽는다.
