Again I am tickled by Bjork, she just released a stellar track about crystals. Perhaps as I have been working a lot lately on computers and in dark studios I have been drawn to wearing gemstones and have been admiring the crystals we have in our home. They are just ever so cool and make me feel more connected to the earth while I am so in my head with my work.

It also reminds me of a ‘jem’ from my childhood: does anyone remember this?

Breaking down Bjork’s lyrics is always a mind expanding process. Here are a few verses:

***

Underneath our feet
Crystals grow like plants
(Listen how they grow)
I’m blinded by the lights
(Listen how they grow)
In the core of the earth
(Listen how they grow)

Crystalline
Internal Nebula
(Crystalline)
Rocks growing slowmo
(Crystalline)
I conquer claustrophobia
(Crystalline)
And demand the light.

Enjoy the video, directed by one of my favorites, Michael Gondry.
