Björk

Currently, I’m looping several Björk songs. In particular: Jóga and Hyper-Ballad. I find her songs catchy in the same way that I find some pop songs catchy, but the melodies in her music jump around in a way that’s markedly different from regular pop songs. There’s something captivating about trying to follow the movement of the notes in her songs.

I’m unable to describe, specifically, what it is that draws me. It’s less lyrical and more to do with syncopcation I think, the shift into harmonies after moments of… dissonance is too strong a word. It’s those moments where her voice sort of fluctuates around, moving above and below what technically would be the perfect note, and then falling down into that right note.

Tonight, as I’ve been listening to her, all I’ve been able to think about is sex.

I can’t seem to shake it. As these songs are looping, all I see in my head are thick blankets, a dark room, and a soft bed. Seriously – this has been foremost in my head the past hour or two. And to be brutally honest with you? I’ve never had sex while listening to Björk.

But I’d like to.

Looks like I’ve got a New Year’s resolution after all. :)
