Solomon Grey – Last Century Man

before it all breaks

I’m not chasing 
The feel good church
I’m over faking
Empty prayer works 
I’m only making
God come first 
Cuz I’m done chasing 
The feel good church 

Eww-eww
God I just need you
Nothing else matters
When it’s you I’m after 
I don’t need a pattern 
For how you’ll move
For what you’ll do 
So bring on the new 
Cuz God I just need you
Yes God I just need you 

I don’t want
Order that hinders 
I’m over all
Self righteous sinners 
Pointing at me
With Pharisee fingers 
I’m only going
Where His presence lingers 

Eww-eww
God I just need you
Nothing else matters
When it’s you I’m after 
I don’t need a pattern 
For how you’ll move
For what you’ll do 
So bring on the new 
Cuz God I just need you
Yes God I just need you 

So God I will search for you
With my whole entire heart 
And mysteries anew 
Will meet me where you are 
Cuz nothing else matters
When it’s you I’m after 
So I’ll search for you 
With my whole entire heart 
Yes God I will search for you
With my whole entire heart 
And mysteries anew 
Will meet me where you are 
Cuz nothing else matters
When it’s you I’m after 
So I’ll search for you 
With my whole entire heart 
Yes lord I will search for you
With my whole entire heart 

Oh cuz I’m not chasing 
The feel good church
I’m over faking
Empty prayer works 
I’m only making
God come first 
Cuz I’m done chasing 
The feel good church 
I don’t want
Order that hinders 
I’m over all
Self righteous sinners 
Pointing at me
With Pharisee fingers 
I’m only going
Where His presence lingers 

Eww-eww
 God I just need you
Nothing else matters
When it’s you I’m after 
I don’t need a pattern 
For how you’ll move
For what you’ll do 
So bring on the new 
Cuz God I just need you
Yes God I just need you 

So God I will search for you
With my whole entire heart 
And mysteries anew 
Will meet me where you are 
Cuz nothing else matters
When it’s you I’m after 
So I’ll search for you 
With my whole entire heart 
Yes lord I will search for you
With my whole entire heart

Hyperballad is written by Björk
Arranged by Luke Howard and Ben Abraham
Re-arranged by Tim Shiel

I love this song.

'Hyperballad' came out as a single 20 years ago today (Feb 12, 1996).

To celebrate the fact, I approached some talented friends to help me work on a cover — composer Luke Howard and producer Tim Shiel.

The collaboration resulted in two beautiful versions that I am very proud to be a part of.

Luke's string arrangement makes the song feel like it could be a hundred years old; a testament to Björk's timeless songwriting. Tim's version, with electronic sparseness that pays homage to the original, reminds me that the song could have come out yesterday and it would still be fresh and arresting, and like nothing I've heard.

The lyrics have also become a personal narration for the stage of life I find myself in. I suppose that's what compelled me to want to record it. The exhaling that comes with singing the line "to be safe up here with you" is one of the song's many gifts.

Songs like this feel alive to me.

It's daunting to interpret such a canonised work and the original certainly didn't need to be added to or taken away from.

So with the utmost respect, here are the efforts of three friends who live on the other side of the world from this remarkable artist, celebrating her work with work of our own.
