There is More To Life Than This
Björk · Debut
Come on girl
let's sneak out of this party
it's getting boring
there's more to life than this
It's still early morning
we could go down to the harbour
and jump between the boats
and see the sun come up
there's more to life than this
we could nick a boat
and sneak off to this island
I could bring my little ghettoblaster
there's more to life than this
but then we'd have to rush back
to the town's best baker
to get the first bread of the morning
there's more to life than this
let's sneak out of this party
it's getting boring
there's more to life than this
It's still early morning
we could go down to the harbour
and jump between the boats
and see the sun come up
there's more to life than this
we could nick a boat
and sneak off to this island
I could bring my little ghettoblaster
there's more to life than this
but then we'd have to rush back
to the town's best baker
to get the first bread of the morning
there's more to life than this
There is More To Life Than This
Released on Björk's 1993 debut album, 'There Is More To Life Than This' stands as a defining track of her early electronic pop evolution. The song blends ethereal vocals with driving electronic rhythms, characteristic of the genre that would define her career. It explores themes of existential reflection and the search for meaning beyond the mundane, delivered with a haunting vocal performance that became a staple of her discography. The recording marked a pivotal moment in her transition from experimental art to mainstream pop while maintaining her unique sonic identity. As a key piece of her early work, it remains a significant example of the atmospheric and emotional depth she brought to music during the early 1990s.
