是這樣的，愛可能是不能談的，每當我想要談談愛的時候，都會想到一首冰島歌手碧玉的歌：Hyper-ballad，字面上來說是「亢奮的歌謠」，歌詞是以第一人稱的角度對著愛的人唱，以碧玉的聲線來詮釋的話是個女生，她描述了自己與愛人住在山頂上，每天清晨趁愛人還在睡的時候，這個女生會走到懸崖邊，把一些車子零件、瓶罐、餐具，甚至是地上隨便找到的小東西丟到山谷裡，這變成一種習慣，一種去啟動一天開始的方法，這樣一來，她就可以更加開心地跟自己的愛人相安無事地生活在一起。久而久之，她看著小東西滾落谷底，竟然開始想像如果丟下去的是自己的身體（也就是自己跳下去的意思），身體撞上山壁的岩石會發生什麼事呢？這時候她的眼睛會是張開還是閉上的呢？這個女生帶著某種莫名的堅定，日復一日地在愛人睡醒之前，持續進行這樣的儀式，這樣做似乎能帶來莫大的安全感，只是為了兩人再次相遇的時候，她可以開心地跟愛人道一聲早安。

Let’s talk about love, though it is hard. Every time when I want to talk about it I think of a song of Bjork, ”Hyper-ballad”. She sings as a girl talking to her lover. This couple live on the top of the mountain. Every morning, she would get up early and walk to the cliff, throw random things like bottles, car parts to the valley before her lover wakes up. This has become a habit, a way to start a day. Therefore, she can feel happier to be with her lover and live safely together. While watching things dropping off the mountain, somehow she starts to imagine what might happen if her body falls off. What does her body sound like when it slams on the rocks? Would her eyes be open or closed? She is so sure that this brings up the security of their relationship by having this personal ritual day by day. So when they meet up, when her lover wakes up, she would say to him “good morning” happily again.
