Björk Oxygen

Björk Oxygen

Released on Evelyn Glennie's greatest hits compilation in 1998.

"It is very difficult to explain the feeling when you meet someone for the first time and somehow magic happens. 'Oxygen' was the first experiment Bjork and I made back in 1995. Everything we did we recorded; this piece, with all the pops and rattles and other unrefined noises, shows that this was a totally spontaneous effort - without 'makeup' or doctoring of any kind. This is how I like to make music. This piece remained untitled until appearing on this album. Why 'Oxygen'? I haven't the foggiest."
// Evelyn Glennie, 1998.

@MysterousBear i think you have quite the head on your shoulders

Reminds me of being in school on a bad day with this on, watching everyone laughing and being happy and thinking what a cruel game this is to make us all play. I realised everything at that point was just a practice run. Practice friends. Practice love. Practice discipline. A five year stretch. And then it would all dissapear like it never happened, and we'd adjust to loosing everything we know, and next time, we wouldn't hold on so tight.

I'm still trying to figure out if I was right nor not.
