WHO IS IT
His embrace : a fortress
it fuels me and places
a skeleton of trust
right beneath us
bone by bone
stone by stone
If you ask yourself
patiently
and carefully:
who is it?
who is it?
Who is it - that never lets you down?
Who is it - that gave you back your crown?
and the ornaments are
they're going around
now they're handing it over
they're handing it over
handing it over
Who is it - that never lets you down?
Who is it - that gave you back your crown?
and the ornaments are
they're going around
now -- they're handing it over
handing it over
He demands a closeness
we all have earned a lightness
carry my joy on the left
carry my pain on the right
If you ask yourself
now patiently
and carefully:
who is it?
Who is it - that never lets you down?
Who is it - that gave you back your crown?
and the ornaments are
they're going around
and I'm handing it over
handing it over
handing
Who is it - that never lets you down?
Who is it - that gave you back your crown?
and the ornaments are
they're going around
now I'm handing it over
handing it over
his embrace, a fortress
it fuels me
and places
a skeleton of trust
right beneath us
bone by bone
stone by stone
if you ask yourself patiently and carefully:
who is it?
who is it that never lets you down?
who is it that gave you back your crown?
and the ornaments are going around
now they're handing it over
handing it over
he demands a closeness
we all have earned a lightness
carry my joy on the left
carry my pain on the right
SONG INFO
Performed by Bjork and Tagaq
Beats: Rahzel
Bass synth: Bjork
Programming: Valgeir Sigurdsson, Mark Bell, Bjork, Matmos
"This is a song I wrote at the end on Vespertine, but I didn't put it there beca
use I felt it was from a different family - Vespertine was introvert and shy and
not very phycisal a record, and this was a very physical song that I wrote when
I was feeling quite strong again. The words are kinda self-explanatory. This is
the one song that Matmos helped me with - they did fruit-machine-noises that ar
e in the choruses. Like when you put a coin in slotmachine and get three strawbe
rries. So they made those noises with synthesizers that I later imitated with my
voice. So I would like to thank Matmos very much for that input, thank you very
much. That was the first song where Rahzel sang, and he did the beat in that so
ng in one take. We just all fell on the floor, we couldn't believe it. There's n
o overdubs, no treatment - this is it. I felt quite proud -- if you're gonna hav
e a human beatboxer, at least get the real thing. " (Bjork, XFM 25aug04)
