An apple and a berry plant
Comes with a house
On the grass
Who is that
To come by my house
Stands outside my window
Sucking on the berries and
Eats us out of house and home
Keeping us awake
Keeping us awake
Can I come over, I need to rest
Lay down for a while
Disconnect
The night was so long
The day even longer
Lay down for a while
Recollect
Five AM
Out again
Triangle walks
Magpies, I throw sticks at them
They laugh behind my back
Getting a feeling
Maybe I will dream again
Having that feeling
When there's no one awake
No no one awake
Can I come over, I need to rest
Lay down for a while
Disconnect
The night was so long
The day even longer
Lay down for a while
Recollect

Need a segue to/from Alt-J's Tessellate to keep with the triangle theme.
Also interesting: Alt-J's "Tessellate" strongly sounds like "If I Had A Heart", the first song on the Fever Ray album.

Please play this between the hours of 3-5 am pacific.

Top-notch segue, Bill! 
Beck "Soldier Jane" --> this.
You clearly worked hard to get the sonic effects of "Soldier Jane" to mesh almost seamlessly with the effects at the start of this song. The two songs could be next to each on the same album.

A nice palate cleanser after Ke$ha!
It's like a hi fi version of The Goonies video game music
Great! ♥

We are really close to the 10k mark here in the US for peak spans...9881 Americans as I write this. I have not seen over 10 k before. There are about same number from rest of world. My guess is here in the US we have many many more options--we like freedom and options here, unlike Europe where they want the state to run everything.
This truly made my day! I guess this count doesn't include people connecting through VPN, as well as the one connected while you're sleeping...you know they wake up during your night elsewhere, on this round sphere of ours
As for the "state runs everything" mmmmmmmouaaaahahahahah, so utterly funny!
Love the song by the way!
Friday morning in Beijing (where the state runs everything too...)

Bill, you just said she has a horrible voice, but it matches perfectly with the sound and then you are playing Victoria Williams with You r loved all the time... Something I really don't understand...
Fever Ray is playing with the voice in a very artistic and visionary way. They do something special, not taking care of risks.
and then there is Victoria Williams on heavy rotation *shakingmyheadspechlessandinwonder*
By the way, could you please delete Victoria?

Still haven't heard The Knife on here yet. Considering how often tracks from this record pop up I'd think you dip into the much larger catalog of them for something similar.
Based upon title alone: This begs to be followed by "Alt-J" Tessellate!
Superb album.

I like the music. But do not like the voice. so I do not know how to rate this. I keep it open. Would be a 7 or 8 with the voice of maybe Grace Jones.

Oh lord....
The original poster simply asked that this be played during hours when they are sleeping. So that they don't have to hear it. What does that have to do with the time of day in Bangladesh, Burma, Bangkok, Bhutan or Brussels? Freaking nothing. The guy/gal just doesn't want to hear this song. Maybe your global RP masses will love it.
(back to the music) Oh, and hey, a Fever Ray song that I don't hate as much as that other one that gets so much play on here. How cool!

I'm always curious what Bill will choose to follow Fever Ray with.
Nice sound, I'm thinking about using it for my next Miami Vice episode.
Isn't wonderful that Yoko Ono can still record music at her age ??

'Beat' is often morphed into rhythm for many people, observed among the folk I know. For me the pulse is the (heart)beat and the rhythm covers the feel, the instrumentation, the layering and the overall effect, long before I try to get the lyrics, if there are any. Enjoy.
While not a masterpiece, it's very different and interesting .. eclectic indeed! Enjoyable. Nice beat to it.

Absolutely can't stand this. Her voice gives me the heebee geebees.
It's like Gamelan on antibiotics.
A solid "meh".
Ah, Dengue Fever is next on the playlist!

Sounds like Black Sabbath's "Planet Caravan" when you play the 33 1/3 at 45.
Seriously.

I was slow on board with this group, but they are growing on me. This is the song that did it.

Something about the whole ambiance of Fever Ray just kicks me in the kidneys (in a good way.) I love this music. It's eerie, eclectic, and motivating. Every time I hear one of their songs, my brain starts creating ideas for short stories or kitchen organization. Don't ask - it'd only give you a headache.

Between this and her other song, I want to shoot myself. This one is better than "When I grow up", but not better enough to deserve more than a 1. (Although, both are better than my all time least favorite "Lime in the Coconut"...)
Album made Hype Machine's top ten in the recently posted Zeitgeist 2009. Something.
