Written by Bj�rk, Nellee Hooper & Marius De Vries. Produced by Nellee Hooper and Bj�rk. Released in February 1996 as the fourth single from Bj�rk's second album, 'Post'. In June 2002 bjork.com organised a webvote, in order to compile the tracklist for the current 'Greatest Hits' cd, and 'Hyperballad' was voted as the most popular track. The video is directed by Michel Gondry, born in Versailles France. 'Hyperballad' was his fourth videoclip for Bj�rk since their first project 'Human Behaviour' back in 1993. Resulting in a imaginary clip which is almost impossible to interpret the first time you see it. "Will my eyes be closed or open?".
HYPERBALLAD
we live on a mountain
right at the top
there's a beautiful view
from the top of the mountain
every morning I walk towards the edge
and throw little things off
like: car-parts, bottles and cutlery
or whatever I find lying around
it's become a habit
a way
to start the day
I go through all this
before you wake up
so I can feel happier
to be safe up here with you
it's real early morning
no-one is awake
I'm back at my cliff, still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make
on their way down
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
imagine what my body would sound like
slamming against those rocks
and when it lands
will my eyes be closed or open?
I go through all this
before you wake up
so I can feel happier
to be safe up here with youAuthor: breizhguigui35Tags: Cilp Hyperballad Bj�rk bjork Post Posted: 20 June 2007Rating: 0.0Votes: 0
