Björk Guðmundsdóttir (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈpjœr̥k ˈkvʏðmʏntsˌtouhtɪr], born 21 November 1965), known mononymously as Björk (/ˈbjɜːrk/), is an Icelandic singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and occasional actress. She initially became known as the lead singer of the alternative rock band The Sugarcubes, whose 1987 single "Birthday" was a hit on US and UK indie stations and a favorite among music critics. Björk embarked on a solo career in 1993, coming to prominence as a solo artist with her single "Human Behaviour" and her album Debut. She has since had 30 singles reach the Top 40 on pop charts around the world, with 22 Top 40 hits in the UK, including the Top 10 hits "It's Oh So Quiet", "Army of Me", and "Hyperballad". Additionally, "Big Time Sensuality", "Hyperballad" and "I Miss You" were number one Dance Hits in the US. Over her three-decade career, she has developed an experimental and eclectic musical style that draws on a wide range of influences and genres spanning electronic music, dance, pop, and the avant-garde. Critics have consistently praised Björk's work, praising her innovative approach to singing and composition, her musical experimentation, her music videos, and her distinctive voice; she has been described as "the most important and forward-looking musician of her generation" and "the best non-pop female vocalist of the last 30 years."
I've been intimidated
My joy's been confiscated
It's all been orchestrated
By opposition sent to bring me down
But my heart's been liberated
And i am so elated
I can't be separated
From this love i've found
(chorus)
I'm so happy that i know him
I'm so happy that i know him
I'm so happy that i know him
I'm so happy that i know him, yeah
I've often contemplated
How my mind operated
Before i was illuminated
Darkness had me believing i was blind
But i've been captivated
By love he demonstrated
A priceless gift so great it
Is more than anything i thought i'd find
(bridge)
I was blind and now i finally see
All right
I'm alive because you're living in me
All right, all right
So precious was the love that you gave
