Is there much of anything in this life that Bjork can’t make better? I was driving home today and “Hyper-Ballad” came on, a song which always moves me… but some days more than others. Today is one of those days.

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

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 him with my eyes till 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

Substitutable for “Bjork” in the first sentence of this post: William Shatner

My work computer hosed up again this morning. I’m going to implode if I can’t get a new hard drive in it pretty soon. I just want a stable machine to work on!
