About Dark Matter

Dark Matter was one of the first tracks Björk created by improvising using a computer game controller to play with musical material. In this track Björk and Mark Bell explored different music scales — the collections of notes on which whole pieces of sections are usually based. Dark Matter features heavy gibberish since the dark matter phenomena are directly "unexplainable". The song is in free-time — it lacks a regular pulse and beats— .

Dark Matter Lyrics

[00:11.73] When your eyes
[00:22.62] Pause on the ball
[00:31.67] That hangs on the third branch from a star,
[00:47.99] You remember why it got dark
[00:56.10] And why it is getting light again.
[01:04.21] The Earth (like the heart) leans back in its seat
[01:15.02] And, like that, it travels along an orbit
[01:25.02] Drawn in the darkness.
[01:39.50] Unpolished pearl
[02:04.99] In sky-black
[02:12.17] Palm of hands
[02:18.46] Flickering sun-flame.
[02:21.14] You remember
[02:29.31] That you are yourself a light-bearer,
[02:32.98] Who receives her radiance from others.
[03:17.71]
