Bjork - Nature is ancient

[marchenk]

In 2004 Björk took part in the "Hætta" concert in Reykjavík, organised in protest against the building of Alcoa aluminium smelters in the country, which would make Iceland the biggest smelter in Europe. She founded the organization "Náttúra" which aims to promote Icelandic nature and grassroots industries. On October 28, 2008 Björk wrote an article for The Times discussing the state of the Icelandic economy, and her thoughts on the proposed use of natural resources to get the country out of debt. Björk, in collaboration with Audur Capital, set up a venture capital fund titled "BJÖRK" to support the creation of sustainable industries in Iceland. She has written the foreword to the English translation of the Iceland bestseller by Andri Snaer Magnason entitled "Dreamland." On May 21, 2010 Björk wrote an open letter in the newspaper Reykjavík Grapevine , calling on the Icelandic government to "do everything in its power to revoke the contracts with Magma Energy", the Canadian company who now has complete ownership of Icelandic geothermal company HS Orka.

Bjork - Nature is ancient

Click to view

It's bright in the middle
With a shell around it
It's called life

It goes wherever it wants to
Don't try to predict it
Then you'd offend it
It's meant to surprise

Chorus:
Nature is ancient
But surprises us all
(2x)

Rescue me
From level-headedness
An unnecessary luxury of being calm

[Chorus 2x]

She's got dark hairs on her head
And blood on her arms
She sneaks up from behind
Come on - you deserve it!

[Chorus 4x]

Nature is ancient
So ancient
Nature is ancient
Ancient
