about

I wanted to challenge myself and try something totally different. I love Björk, and covering one of her songs was one of the most difficult things I have every attempted to do, artistically.

Do I think this song fits with the other tracks on the album? Not necessarily, but it was a fun, exhaustive experience, and I wanted to share the final product with others because I am quite proud of this one.

lyrics

We live on a mountain, right at the top
This 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] x2

It's 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
I 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 you] x3

Safe up here with you x1,000
