    I discovered The Knife 16 years ago. Listening to it in my walkman. I realise now how this music has opened something in my mind, something creative and complex. I feel lucky to have lived at the same time as The Knife.

      There were several times that lasted weeks where I had to listen to this song every night, it wouldnt leave my mind. I craved those moments when a singer starts, or the animal references, or the fact that it goes on for 11 mins! (Actually the song seemed to get shorter every time I listened to it).

    02:15 - "Oh shit, what's this plucking at my heartstrings?"
    03:11 - "Damn, Karin's so cool o___o"
    06:47 - Bursting into tears for some reason??????

    When I heard this for the first time, I didn't even listen the whole song, it felt so creepy. Then I came back and realized it's actually one of the dopest songs I've heard. That weird sound in the background is oddly comforting, I could listen to this while watching the world fall apart and still feel just fine.

    Dear Karen and Olof,
    I know how important it is in your beliefs to reject idols, and I agree, and love you for that. You are true artists. Always remember though, that we deeply deeply love you, and everything you do and stand for helps us be better people, there's something to be said for that and to give credit where credit is due. I was lucky enough to see you in San Francisco the last time that you came through. I bought tickets for both nights, and you ALL crushed it! Thank you for being the smart beautiful artists that you are... And thank you for the awesome music!
    Love,
    MH

      @@jcoverpass, it's: "lemming-comment," fixed it for ya!
      You meant to use a hyphen in order to compound your adjective into a noun form, thus calling me a lemming. The comment itself cannot be a, "lemming." So it should be spelled "lemming-comment." This usage would describe the speaker (noun) as a "lemming" (adjective). The way you have it written (sans hyphen) makes the comment itself, "a lemming," which doesn't make sense, as a lemming is a human characteristic.
      Hope that helped you understand your English.. Keep at it teary person.

    At the end of the book of Job, after chapters and chapters of suffering and doubt, God appears in a maelstrom, in a vortex, and shows Job the terror and enormity of creation from the deepest oceans to the desert's heart. After Darwin's daughter dies and the remains of her life is shut in a box, we see the whole of the natural world: tied by strings of instinct and natural selection, birds and beasts and humans - everything in flames. This song is awe inspiring.

    Northern forms existed in their own homes
    A thousand yellow cocoons, under over through
    A few southern vegetable forms on the mountains of Borneo
    under over through, donkey peacock goose
    In the mouth of the river
    A strange scene it is, everything in flames
    the sky with lightning and the water, luminous
    strange scene it is, under over through
    Six-weeks old Henrietta smiled for the first time
    tail habits prove, instinct that moves
    Emma saw him smile not with lips but eyes
    Erasmus grab a spoon, Europe hides wool
    Mister Peacock and Captain Beaufort
    endemic alpine grooves, breadfruit cinnamon tunes
    tonight it's blowing thick roils of spray, whirled across the bay
    whatever might have been, the cause of the retreat
    Columba livia, great ages through, course of days
    Tumblers, Jacobins, beak shapes, skeletal traits, Runts and Carriers
    wooden hexagonal cage, Pouters and Fantails
    tail feathers at what age?
    (the delight of once again being home)
    grey and spotted
    (the delight of once again being home)
    markings in making
    (the delight of once again being home)
    my great amusement
    Behind land house, a gentle cooing
    behind land house, the offspring's moving
    behind land house, a gentle cooing
    The delight of once again being home
