Wanderlust

Completely missed the train on this one. APPARENTLY Björk debuted this video this past April and neglected to inform me about it. Well if I was not such a scatter-brain I prolly would of seen it by now. And get this: She did it up old school by making it 3-D. Can you Believe that?! I haven't seen that version yet, though I have not looked, nor do I keep a pair of 3-D glasses handy to enjoy it, sadly enough. This is the 2-D version, however. Did I mention it was made in Clay-mation? I really am feeling the verses...


Wanderlust Lyrics-

I am leaving this harbour
giving urban a farewell
its habitants seem too keen on God
I cannot stomach their rights and wrong

I have lost my origin
and I don't want to find it again
rather sailing into nature's laws
and be held by ocean's paws

wanderlust!
relentlessly craving wanderlust
peel off the layers
until you get to the core

did I imagine it would be like this
was it something like this I wished for
or will I want more?

lust for comfort
suffocates the soul
this relentless
restlessness
liberates me
sets me free

I feel at home whenever
the unknown surrounds me
I receive its embrace
aboard my floating house

wanderlust!
relentlessly craving wanderlust
peel off the layers
until you get to the core

did I imagine it would be like this
was it something like this I wished for
or will I want more?

wanderlust!
from island to island
wanderlust!
united in movement
wonderful!
I enjoy it with you

wanderlust!
wanderlust!
can you spot a pattern?

relentlessly restless
restless relentlessly
restless relentlessly

can you spot a pattern?

Björk states:
"I have periods when I’m hungry for something new. I’m quite hungry right now. And then I have periods when I’m more domestic. I kind of make fun of my hunger on the new album in a track called "Wanderlust." It’s about the state of looking for something and almost knowing you’re never going to find it."
