The Sugarcubes - Deus

Everything you need to know about vocal technique right there. I've often thought that.

[@sebastienleblanc1530]

@Michael D I couldn’t agree more and I’ve always thought that too! I just love the emphasis she puts on each syllable of the word “universe”. She’s such a gifted vocalist!

[@michaeld2519]

@Talorc MacAllan Thank you for your reply, Talorc. Good to know there are people out there who appreciate great music, and you are passing it on to younger generations. I'm 59, and was (still am) one of Björk's biggest fans. I had all her CD's, video's, books, etc. My girlfriend at the time wasn't happy how obsessed I was with this Icelandic girl, lol. Music nowadays can't compare to the 70's, 80's and 90's, but here and there one finds a good artist. All the best!

Comparing the quality originality and cleverness that went into music from this era to music currently being made is absurd. There is no music being made today. That sounds like it.

[Verse 1: Björk] Deus does not exist But if he does, he lives above me In the fattest largest cloud up there He's whiter than white and cleaner than clean He wants to reach me [Verse 2: Björk] Deus does not exist But if he does I always notice him Getting ready in his airy room He is picking his gloves so gently off He wants to touch me [Post-Verse 2: Björk] I'm walking humbly down a tiny street Pulling my collar it gets bigger, woo! [Spoken Word 1: Einar] I once met him It really surprised me He put me in a bath tub Made me squeaky clean Really clean [Bridge: Björk] To create a universe You must taste The forbidden fruit [Spoken Word 2: Einar] He said "hi" I said "hi" I was still clean [Verse 3: Björk] Deus does not exist But if he does he'd want to get down from that cloud First marzipan fingers then marble hands More silent than silence and slower than slow Diving towards me [Post-Verse 3: Björk] My collar is huge room for two hands They start at the chest and move slowly down [Spoken Word 3: Einar] I thought I had seen everything He wasn't white and fluffy He just had side burns He just had side burns And a quiff He said "hi" I said "hi" I was still clean I was squeaky clean I was surprised Just as you would be [Outro: Einar & Björk] Deus, Deus Deus, Deus (He does not exist)

There are a few places I’d like to visit before I shuffle off this mortal coil - and a few I’d like to visit after - but for now Iceland is one of those destinations. With a population well under half a million and a number 1 rating on the Global Peace Index , Iceland seems an ideal destination. I once saw Björk perform at a festival in Spain. She has an otherworldly quality like that of a benevolent imp Icelanders seem to be a forward -thinking collective of homo sapiens , and so it seems reasonable that I would like to visit I would also like to visit Swansea, Wales, the far reaches of South America, New Zealand and Australia and places in-between What are your earthly destinations
