Triumph Of A Heart

Björk à propos du titre Triumph Of A Heart
Ce titre tend simplement à célébrer le corps, les cellules qui font des montagnes russes partout dans le corps, dans le sang et les poumons. En chantant.

Triumph of a Heart
I guess the lyrics are probably about, just celebrating the body, you know the cells, doing all sort of coaster rides, up and down, your body and the blood and the lungs, basically singing ,beatboxing ,throat singing or yodelling or body slapping, whatever you do. It sort of celebrating that really.

Triumph of a Heart
I was really happy to hear the word “kidney“ on “Triumph of a Heart“ [Björk laughs], and all of these great body parts like the teeth. I loved the choice of words-just very abstract. I always think I’m saying something really upfront and direct. I guess through the years, I’ve probably done a lot of alternative medicine like acupuncture. I’m probably interested in the Chinese things overall. But that song is actually about that because—I don’t know if you understand this—but I have a tendency to finish my kidney energy. It’s my weakness. And if you kick your heels into the earth, you send back the kidney energy. So I was trying to have one verse about that, and one verse about oxygen, and one verse about the nerves.
