About Crystalline

The Crystalline Songfacts reports that the song features the Gameleste, one of several new musical instruments Bjork developed for Biophilia. A combination of the piano-like celeste, and a Gamelan, the name for an Indonesian musical ensemble, it was developed by UK-based cymbalsmith Matt Nolan and Icelandic organ-maker Björgvin Tómasson. .

Crystalline Lyrics

[00:07.40] Underneath our feet
[00:18.82] Crystals grow like plants (listen how they grow)
[00:29.44] I'm blinded by the lights (listen how they glow)
[00:36.78] In the core of the earth (listen how they grow)
[00:43.96] Crystalline internal nebula (crystalline)
[00:50.36] Rocks growing slow mo (crystalline)
[00:55.39] I conquer claustrophobia (crystalline)
[01:00.86] And demand the lights
[01:18.01] We mimic the openness
[01:26.26] Of the ones we love
[01:31.06] Dove tail our generosity
[01:37.51] Equalize the flow
[01:42.20] With our hearts
[01:48.10] We chisel quartz
[01:53.42] To reach love
[02:05.70] Crystalline internal nebula (crystalline)
[02:12.62] Rocks growing slow mo (crystalline)
[02:17.75] I conquer claustrophobia (crystalline)
[02:23.27] And demand the lights
[02:41.05] Octagon, polygon
[02:46.06] Pipes up an organ
[02:52.50] Sonic branches
[02:57.18] Murmuring drone
[03:03.55] Crystallizing galaxies
[03:10.96] Spread out like my fingers
[03:23.37] (Crystalline) internal nebula
[03:28.03] (Crystalline) rocks growing slow mo
[03:34.30] (Crystalline) I conquer claustrophobia
[03:39.33] (Crystalline) and demand the lights
[03:44.34] (Crystalline) internal nebula
[03:49.43] (Crystalline) rocks growing slow mo
[03:55.06] (Crystalline) I conquer claustrophobia
[04:00.25] (Crystalline) and demand the lights
[04:17.31] It's the sparkle you become
[04:22.08] When you conquer anxiety
[04:27.60] It's the sparkle you become
[04:32.81] When you conquer anxiety
