The Alter-Ego: graceful, empathises easily, turns the other cheek and shows compassion at all the unlikely times. Wears her heart on her sleeve, keeps her words in her throat, and (compulsively) cleans her fingernails every day. Jeans well-fit, tees well-kept, and her health and well-being is of great concern. She doesn’t smoke, doesn’t drink, doesn’t toy with casual sex, and doesn’t need an excuse to think twice, three, or four times about anything at all. Even breakfast. She is loved, respected, and relied on by others. [Innerspeaker.]
Bjork, Dirty Projectors – When The World Comes To An End
Björk with a Dirty Projector excites me. The Orca swims again in the over-stained photos coming through on the wall; the backdrop to the shoulder-shaking tunes on play. The oh-ah-oh-oh harmonising. The garbled Longstreth, voice shaking in a glass while Tyrannosaurus Rex approaches, pushing through the light. I would have loooooooved you, for a long time. For a long time.

‘When The World Comes To An End’ is truly awesome. I’m mildly addicted to it, at the moment. I’ve always admired Bjork, but never really listened to her stuff properly. Her voice is beautiful. I was a little more educated about the Dirty Projectors, since I own their album. A winning combination, if you ask me. I’m glad they worked together.
I think this song could become my new obsession.
If you like this song, and are unfamiliar with Björk, then I’d recommend Medulla (which is a complete acappella and vocal music album)…although it is a little darker than this.
