"it may not always be so; and i say that if your lips, which i have loved, should touch another’s, and your dear strong fingers clutch his heart, as mine in time not far away; if on another’s face your sweet hair lay in such silence as i know, or such great writhing words as, uttering overmuch, stand helplessly before the spirit at bay; if this should be, i say if this should be - you of my heart, send me a little word; that i may go unto him, and take his hands, saying, Accept all happiness from me. Then shall i turn my face, and hear one bird sing terribly afar in the lost lands." --- e. e. cummings
I love that part too. I like how the mood of the background choir change from doubt to to desperation then in 1:30 to harmonic tones. Just beautiful....
This is originally a poem by E.E. Cummings. It is a beautiful poem to begin with, but Bjork made it even more so.
What I loooove about her is that she sounds the same live as when I listen to her music
"it may not always be so; and i say
that if your lips, which i have loved, should touch
another’s, and your dear strong fingers clutch
his heart, as mine in time not far away;
if on another’s face your sweet hair lay
in such silence as i know, or such
great writhing words as, uttering overmuch,
stand helplessly before the spirit at bay;
if this should be, i say if this should be -
you of my heart, send me a little word;
that i may go unto him, and take his hands,
saying, Accept all happiness from me.
Then shall i turn my face, and hear one bird
sing terribly afar in the lost lands."

+Luis Nicks ridicula.
Could any of you actually go to the person your loved one fell in love with and tell them to "accept all happiness from me"?
was a bit disappointed björk didn't write the lyrics for it and sun in my mouth and bachelorette eh... :/
the lyrics are secondary, have you heard her voice ?
she's so drunk.
