Theres a song on Bjorks 2001 albumVespertinecalled Aurora its a typically wonderful, Bjorky creation about disintegrating into happiness.
Hearts will dream again/Lungs will breathe in Wash away the sin/Its where it begins, she muses.
Lyrically, Aksnes frequently meditates on death.
While the storytelling has a child-like air, she comes off as preternaturally wise.
ButDemons most intriguing aspect, of course, is that its merely Aksnes first act.
Take me home, home where I belong, she begs on the albums lush opener Runaway.
If its alright with her, wed rather her stay out here.
