Wasting time at work listening to Hyperballad covers :) This is the best yet, and clearly a labor of love. You manage the feel of the small steely voice cutting through the storm, like in the original, but you do it with your voice and a guitar.
We live on a mountain Right at the top This 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 I go through all this Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you It's early morning No one is awake I'm back at my cliff Still throwing things off I listen to sounds they make On their way down I follow with my eyes till they crash I 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 I go through all this Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you I go through all this Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you Safe up here with you Safe up here with you Safe up here with you Safe up here with you Safe up here with you Safe up here with you Safe up here with you Safe up here with you
I looked for this on Spotify, but it was not there. If there, I would have added it to my playlist of absolute favorites. I never though any could do a cover of this song that I would love every bit as much as the original, but you did!
As am I. For me, the growl bjork puts into the word “safe” in the chorus defines the original version. This cover captures a longing for happiness that the lyrics describe. The percussion and melody of the simple guitar part combined with the vulnerability of the voice is indescribably perfect. Magic
Brilliant. Best acoustic version of this song on UA-cam. Thank you for sharing.
Bjork is incredibly hard to cover, but you pulled it off quite nicely and put your own spin on it to boot. Very nicely done!

Agreed!
Listening to bjork music is never a waste of time
The passion in your performance with my favorite Bjork song is too much for me to handle.
We live on a mountain
Right at the top
This 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
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
It's early morning
No one is awake
I'm back at my cliff
Still throwing things off
I listen to sounds they make
On their way down
I follow with my eyes till they crash
I 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
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
