Björk - Bachelorette

From The Album - Homogenic (1997)

[TherdGunman]

This ain't music this is what music wants to be when it grows up...MASTERPIECE!

[lordkobraa]

Such a badass masterpiece for a broken heart song. My favourite of the album, and one of my favourites Bjork's songs.

[jeremevr]

Bjork's vocal prowess is like seeing the slow-motion shockwave blasts in the all those Trinity Tests from New Mexico--it rips through everything in a velvety way.

[LDaver]

[Verse 1]
I'm a fountain of blood
In the shape of a girl
You're the bird on the brim
Hypnotised by the whirl
Drink me, make me feel real
Wet your beak in the stream
Game we're playing is life
Love's a two way dream

[Chorus]
Leave me now, return tonight
Tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay

[Verse 2]
I'm a path of cinders
Burning under your feet
You're the one who walks me
I'm your one-way street
I'm a whisper in the water
Secret for you to hear
You're the one who grows distant
When I beckon you near

[Chorus]
Leave me now, return tonight
Tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay

[Verse 3]
I'm a tree that grows hearts
One for each that you take
You're the intruder's hand
I'm the branch that you break

[Outro]
[Gibberish]

[michaelbird]

why is this channel not called the bjorkives

[Quakeinc]

When she broke it down in the end sends shivers down my spine. Pure emotion.

[jasperchance]

outrageously beautiful, brutal finesse

[pablorisso]

[Verse 1]
I'm a fountain of blood
In the shape of a girl
You're the bird on the brimHypnotised by the whirl
Drink me, make me feel realWet your beak in the stream
Game we're playing is lifeLove's a two way dream

[Chorus]
Leave me now, return tonight
Tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay

[Verse 2]
I'm a path of cindersBurning under your feet
You're the one who walks meI'm your one-way street
I'm a whisper in the water
Secret for you to hear
You're the one who grows distant
When I beckon you near

This album got me through a breakup back 25 years ago. Now I'm going through another and it is still here for me. Timeless

One day I found a big book buried deep in the ground, but when I opened it, all the pages were Blank. But then, to my surprise, it started writing itself....

[sparker]

[Verse 1]
I'm a fountain of blood
In the shape of a girl
You're the bird on the brim
Hypnotised by the whirl
Drink me, make me feel real
Wet your beak in the stream
Game we're playing is life
Love's a two way dream

[Chorus]
Leave me now, return tonight
Tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay

[Verse 2]
I'm a path of cinders
Burning under your feet
You're the one who walks me
I'm your one way street
I'm a whisper in the water
Secret for you to hear
You're the one who grows distant
When I beckon you near

[Chorus]
Leave me now, return tonight
Tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale
Trapped in a bay

[Verse 3]
I'm a tree that grows hearts
One for each that you take
You're the intruder's hand
I'm the branch that you break

[myaranche]

wow, one of MY fav songs she wrote and sings She has a huge Cosmic Soul, and in human form has incredible energy of massive Light, foresight and Knowledge.... thank you!!!!

[veilsideFDS]

Sounds like a boss battle theme to one of your favourite Role Playing Games.

Elle a renversé la table à jamais avec cet album. 😎

[dannichso]

How to explain? Late 90´s, me at the army, 1st time far from home. In the daytime we were treated by the corporals, in the evenings we chilled. Laying around, frazzled and with burning muscles. We needed music for chilling: once it was started, noone wanted to move the next hour. Just enjoy. This album was one of our favourites. And I realise: it still is. These powerful tracks just begin, I hear the first tones, and these retro-feelings pop up like flashbacks, it´s incredible.

[goodjohnjr]

Some of the instrumentals and some other parts of this song somewhat reminds me of the song CHRisTmas In The SiLenT ForeSt by Ilaria Graziano and Yoko Kanno from the music soundtrack Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex O.S.T. 3 for the anime television show Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex, and so I assume that this song was used as inspiration for that song; just listen to both songs and see if you notice any similarities, I could be wrong though.

[Lethesongs]

her voice sounds like a battle cry in this song

[brod]

Simply epic. Should have been a Bond theme....

[giovannigabbriellini]

I thought nothing would ever be better than Human behaviour, but I was wrong.
