wanderlust

i just saw bjork's newest video for her song "wanderlust" off the volta album, and i love it. so i thought i'd share.

while i love the album, i have to admit my hopes for it may have been a bit too high. it is wonderful but not my favorite of hers. that being said, nothing is better than watching or hearing her talk about the direction for it, and that would surely sell anyone. i love how she's looking for this primal connection with the world and with the people in it; through music and rhythms and art.

i wish more artists were taking lessons from her.



"I am leaving this harbour
Giving urban a farewell
Its habitants seem too keen on God
I cannot stomach their rights and wrong

I have lost my origin
And I don't want to find it again
Rather sailing into nature's laws
And be held by ocean's paws

Wanderlust
Relentlessly craving wanderlust
Peel off the layers
Until you get to the core

Did I imagine it would be like this
Was it something like this I wished for
Or will i want more

Lust for comfort
Suffocates the soul
This relentless
Restlessness
Liberates me
Sets me free"
