Bjork

Who said that programmed sounds can’t convey emotion? Who said that electronic tones carry no warmth? Who claimed contemporary music cannot express the soul? When does speech become song? If it can be told without melody, then say it— just say it. A voice before it becomes a scream, louder than a whisper, found rhythm in a melodyless wilderness. She bears the sins of humankind, and questions her own people’s guilt. Whether the invader will stop marching as a murderer— no one knows. Merging wildness and ancestry into urban sound, she waits— within the song— for a people who will rise and answer.
