I haven't recorded a cover in forEVER. I was listening to a lot of Bjork on the train. Just got Homogenic and it's seriously blowing my mind. So.
25. Unravel by Bjork

Lyrics (at times deviate moderately from her originals, mostly because I wasn't paying attention)
When you are away,
My heart comes undone
Slowly unraveled
In a ball of yarn
The devil collects it
With a grin
Our love,
In a ball of yarn
He'll never return it,
And when you come back,
We'll have to make new love

Lyrics
What'll I do without friends who have cars, or a phone, or a job, or a deadline
What'll I do without you and your dinners, and homework, and your house, and mine
What if I lose all my money, and somebody steals all my stuff and I'm starving
Will you come get me and let me freeload on your couch and support me and feed me
And find me a job
'Cause I'm sort of scared
I'm a little bit worried
I'll die before I've seen anything
If I could live on the sand by the sea, I would do it, I'd live there forever
If I could live in a house in a tree, I'd live there forever and ever
But somebody owns all the treetops, and somebody owns all the sand and the ocean
So if you come get me and let me freeload on your couch and support me and feed me
And find me a job
'Cause I'm sort of scared
I'm a little bit worried
I'll die before I've seen anything
Anything
27. Pavilion v2

Lyrics
We were up in that pavilion
When the rain came
Raging down, sweeping under
Dusting toes and soaking benches
Filling swing seats
Pooling at the bottom of the slide
We had hot dogs
Chips and Pepsi
In a bag by the pond
28. Rule v2

Lyrics
I'm testing you
To find how you do
The things that you feel,
The ones I don't understand
It's hard, being around you
Watching you think
What do you think about? What do you think about?
When I
Start to believe
That I understand
Why you behave in ways that punish me
And punish me beautifully
Have I uncovered
The rule of the law of the way that you are?
The rule of the law,
The rule of the law,
The rule of the law,
Of the way that you are

I'm happy you covered bjork! Sometimes I think your voice sounds very much like hers! I found my Vespertine CD last week and I never knew how gorgeous it is. Unison is amazing! She blows my mind too. Regarding your previous blog, I like some of the pessimistic personal songs. I love the honesty of Plain, not that I think you're gross by any means. But you know what I mean - the feelings are honest. I'm sorry you're down though. Do you like Liz Phair by chance?
ReplyDeletesorry I'm such a sycophant.
you're just uber far out.
Oh my God, Worried 2 is so beautiful, sweet and sad -- but pretty-sad. The words, melody, piano, your voice. It is so special. I just listened to it three times in a row, and I'm almost crying in a good way. I guess it's in part because I'm worried about the same things now -- where to live, a job. It is really beautiful to think of living on the sand. And I don't cry a lot - I almost feel like I can't sometimes. I like the squeaky sounds. I don't know what they are, but they sound like birds, or shoes on a basketball court maybe, or something mechanical. It's very neat. Perhaps you are also the squeaky mister.
