björk - sonnet / unrealities ix
based on the poem it may not always be so; and i say by e.e.cummings
it may not always be so;and i say
that if your lips,which i have loved,should touch
another’s,and your dear strong fingers clutch
his heart,as mine in time not far away;
if on another’s face your sweet hair lay
in such a silence as i know,or such
great writhing words as,uttering overmuch,
stand helplessly before the spirit at bay;
if this should be,i say if this should be-
you of my heart,send me a little word;
that i may go unto him,and take his hands,
saying,Accept all happiness from me.
Then shall i turn my face,and hear one bird
sing terribly afar in the lost lands.

nice post.
didn’t know that this is the sonnet underlaying björk’s song.
i’ll post a link on my blog tonight….
thx
what a lovely set of music, 1/2 of which was news to me. thanks.
que alegria escuchar “the moth”. esa cancion es mi favorita de aimee mann, aunque me parece mas sexy que pre-triste.
“So come on let’s go ready or not
cuz there’s a flame I know hotter than hot
and with a fuse that’s so thoroughly shot
away”
Great set of tracks. I really like that Low Skies song.
i didn’t know i had that song already. actually, i got the album (medulla) from which it was taken from. the 1st time i heard her sing some lines from E.E. cummings poems, was on that vespertine album.
