All these accidents that happen, follow the dot
Coincidence makes sense, only with you
You don't have to speak, I feel

Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me
The riddle gets solved
And you push me up to ..

This state of emergency, how beautiful to be
State of emergency, is where I want to be

All that no-one sees you see, what's inside of me
Every nerve that hurts you heal, deep inside of me oohoohh
You don't have to speak, I feel

Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me, confuse
Can, the riddle get solved?
And you push me up to ..

This state of emergency, how beautiful to be
State of emergency, is where I want to be
State of emergency, how beautiful to be

Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me
The riddle gets solved
And you push me up to ..

This state of emergency, how beautiful to be
State of emergency, is where I want to be

State of emergency, how beautiful to be
State of emergency

State of
How beautiful
Emergency, is where I want to be

State of emergency, how beautiful to be
State of emergency, is where I want to be
State of emergency, how beautiful to be

Emergen-C brand beverage mix using this song in their commercials in 5... 4.. 3...
 
I mean her label could certainly turn around and sell the rights to advertisers, I would think.  Looks like Elektra (WMG) owns the rights, I'm sure they'd have no problems selling her out.

I'm not a fan but I always smile when Bjork pops up. As she did at a Stones concert at the Brixton Academy in the early Nineties when I turned at the VIP bar to get a good look at Helena Christensen, and, not noticing Bjork was right next to me (I"m about three feet taller than her), bumped into her and she spilled her drink. The air turned blue with Icelandic expletives and no amount of apologies would calm her down! Happy memories!

One of my best friends, a man with otherwise excellent taste in music, art, literature, etc, loves Bjork and puts her on every time I go to have dinner with him and his partner. It's a running gag now: "No, dude, anything but that . . . "

Her voice, for whatever reason, is irritating to me. But, hey, at least it's not rap.

Mute is a "trope" now, is it...not a "meme"....gotta work harder at figuring out what you all are going on about. Seriously, if you don't like it, mute it and move on to the next tune. I don't really need to share your "trope" any more than I care about the state of your sound card.

Absolutey bam23, Bjork-Joga is why I'm here most days, trying to expand my library of great music of many, many genres. Ok except a couple, that thank goodness don't play well here:rap music(though give me soul music all day long) or country and western.

I'm a huge fan of Björk ever since I saw Dancer in the Dark. I don't think any movie scene (the one where they're leading her to the gallows) has ever made me cry quite that hard. She's an amazingly talented artist and masters very diverse styles and metiers. Something RP listeners should especially appreciate.

I really have a lot of respect for Bjork and like much of her music (like this piece) but I note that she has the same effect on me as the Bulgarian Female Choir singers who were so popular in the 90’s – after about ½ hour listening, I start to get a headache in my 3rd eye area. I think it as something to do with their really intense style of singing.

I liked the song, until I look up who it is — she's irritating, but there's something about that song that I like.  This is why I should never see a video because once I see a singer, if I find them annoying, it turns me off to an otherwise okay song.

yes, she can. try to get a copy of her version of "leaving on a jetplane". imho she's got pretty strong vocals on this one, but even then I get the impression that she's holding back a bit, there could be even more.
