How To Steal A Car (Original Composition)(Dhruv Visvanath and Ashwin Nayar)

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.

Carnival -Kintsugi Sessions Season 1

Welcome to the heart. 
Stop taking life too seriously and let your inner child out. Feel the "blue cowherd's" divine melody flow through you.

LYRICS 

Stop 
Your worry and dance the night away 
Quit 
Complaining and feel the magic in the air 
Drop 
Your ego and let the child come out and play 
Move 
On with life and smile your problems away 

Welcome to the spirit 
Drink up all you want, there's plenty to go around 
Welcome to the circle 
Where all hearts beat as one 
Welcome to the party 
Let's watch the world come alive & sway 
Sway together to the cowherd's bamboo flute 

I feel it taking over me 

Stop 
Your worry and dance the night away 
Quit 
Complaining and feel the magic in the air 
Drop 
Your ego and let the child come out and play 
Move 
On with life and smile your problems away 

I feel alive, I feel alive, I feel alive 

I feel this strange sensation 
taking over me 
Words can't describe this sweet sensation 
washing over me 
I'm high 
I'm high 
I'm feeling high

Mark Papang is a Hyderabad based artist whose latest release is a single, 'Pastel Blue'. Mark being a traditional singer-songwriter, Pastel Blue was his first exploration into music production. The lyrics in the track talk about the idea of looking at someone who embodies an 'iceman' temperament, in the hope that you can actualize the same. Mark's musical journey so far has been about exploring himself and expressing the ideas in as many ways as possible.
