BPK - Hyperballad (Björk/Tori Amos) Keyboard Cover

A new performance of my favorite song by Björk on the new keyboard. Tori Amos covered the song famously in 2005 and since she was the inspiration for this channel, she gets props.

Hyperballad is arguably Björk's best track, being pure magic from start to finish. I follow the Post version with a few themes included from the Brodsky Quartet version on Telegram. Fans of the song are encouraged to see Robyn's tribute performance of this song at the 2010 Stockholm Awards Ceremony, where Björk was awarded the Polar Music Prize.

Arrangement by BPK. Hope you enjoy.

Lyrics:

we live on a mountain
right at the top
there's a 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

it's real 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
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
