Ancestors Lyrics

I'll pick you
I'll take you
I admit
he said
I did it
I'll play the fool
Underneath
Me
I
You
But, I told
And undo
And say, undo
Live
I say
And will
And we all

If you listen, you can hear her actually saying something.

But this song....what the hell....I love it.

Caveman music!

No, really, according to Björk. http://www.bjork.com/facts/about/right.php?id=1147

But anyway, this is the only song of Björk's that I have given a 1-star rating to. I just hate it. The moaning and throat-singing creep me out, and the calm, optimistic piano discords with the dark vocals. Blech.

for some songs you just need to have a special mood.. this song is like a quintessence of the album Medulla, it is about origins of everything - embryos of feeling and of the ways they are expressed - cries, shouts, moaning, speech sounds , song. Roots in human nature)
