Lyrics

Thunderbolt

[Verse 1]

Stirring at water's edge

Cold froth on my twig

My mind in whirls

Wanders around desire

[Chorus 1]

May I, can I, or have I too often

Craving miracles?

May I, can I, or have I too often now

Craving miracles?

Craving miracles?

[Verse 2]

No one imagines the light shock I need

And I'll never know

From whose hands, deeply humble

Dangerous gifts as such to mine come

[Chorus 2]

May I, should I, or have I too often

Craving miracles?

May I, can I, or have I too often

Craving miracles?

Craving miracles?

[Verse 3]

My romantic gene is dominant

And it hungers for union

Universal intimacy

All embracing

Björk

[Chorus 3]

May I, should I, or have I too often

Craved miracles?

May I, can I, or have I too often

Craved miracles?

Craved

[Verse 4]

Waves irregularly striking

Wind stern in my face

Thunderstorm, come

Scrape those barnacles of me!

[Chorus 4]

May I, may I, or should I too often

Crave miracles?

May I or should I or have I too often?

[Verse 5]

All my body parts are one

As lightning hits my spine

Sparkling

Prime runs through me

Revive my wish

I am inviolable

[Chorus 5]

May I, can I, or have I too often?

May I, can I, should I, or have I too often

Craving miracles?

Björk on Dork

Which artists shaped Violet Grohl’s musical upbringing?

From Pixies and PJ Harvey to Billie Eilish and Zara Larsson, these are the artists Violet Grohl has identified as part of the musical world behind ‘Be Sweet To Me’.

Where to start with Violet Grohl’s ‘Be Sweet To Me’

Begin with ‘THUM’, ‘595’ and ‘Cool Buzz’ for a route into Violet Grohl’s debut and the stories behind its key songs.

What Rosalía’s ‘Berghain’ and ‘Sauvignon Blanc’ videos say about healing and letting go

Across two videos from ‘LUX’, Rosalía frames recovery through heartbreak, freedom and a search for connection beyond possessions.

Björk has opened a major new exhibition at the National Gallery of Iceland

The exhibition brings together three large-scale audiovisual installations.
