PORTAL MASYARAKAT - “Ancestress” adalah trek terpanjang di Fossora yang, bersama “Sorrowful Soil”, didedikasikan untuk mendiang ibu Björk, aktivis lingkungan Hildur Rúna Hauksdóttir, yang meninggal pada 2018.
Sementara "Tanah Kesedihan" digambarkan sebagai semacam pidato untuk Hildur, "Leluhur" digambarkan sebagai batu nisan, seperti yang dia katakan kepada Pitchfork.
Saat dirilis, Björk mengatakan lagu itu mungkin terinspirasi oleh lagu Islandia kuno berjudul "Grafskrift", yang secara langsung menjelaskan kehidupan seseorang, mencantumkan profesi, mitra, dan banyak lagi, yang ia gambarkan sebagai sangat "patriarkal". "Leluhur" adalah pendekatan yang lebih feminin untuk subjek.
Potongan tujuh menit dirilis sebagai single ketiga dari Fossora, bersama dengan video musik yang disutradarai oleh Andrew Thomas Huang, video tersebut menggambarkan prosesi pemakaman ritual di lembah yang sama di mana Hildur biasa memetik herbal. Lagu tersebut juga merupakan rilisan pertama Björk yang dinyanyikan bersama putranya, penyanyi-penulis lagu Sindri Eldon.
Berikut ini Lirik Lagu Baru Barat Björk - Ancestress
Björk - Ancestress
[Verse 1: Björk]
My skull is my cathedral
Where this matrimort takes place
When I was a girl, she sang for me
In falsetto lullabies with sincerity
I thank her for her integrity
[Chorus 1: Björk, Björk & Sindri Eldon]
My ancestress' clock is ticking
Her once vibrant rebellion is fading
I am her hope-keeper
Assure hope is there
At, at all times
[Verse 2: Björk]
My ancestress has left all manners
Her pulsating skin rebelling
The doctors she despised
Placed a pacemaker inside her
[Chorus 2: Björk & Sindri Eldon]
When you're out of time
Oh, how you look back changes
Did you punish us for leaving?
Are you sure we hurt you?
Was it just not "living"?
[Verse 3: Björk]
She had idiosyncratic sense of rhythm
Dyslexia, the ultimate freeform
She invents words and adds syllables
Hand-writing, language all her own
[Chorus 3: Björk & Sindri Eldon] I don't have that story in my mouth
When you die, you bring with you what you've given
[Verse 4: Björk]
The machine of her breathed all night
While she rested
Revealed her resilience
And then it, it didn't
[Chorus 4: Björk & Sindri Eldon]
You see with your own eyes
But hear with your mother's
There's fear of being absorbed
By the other
By now, we share the same flesh
As much as I tried to escape it
This is no mediocre debris
My ancestress this is
[Chorus 5: Björk & Sindri Eldon]
The odour of our final parting
Those have been
The perfumes of separation
For centuries
The perfumes of separation
For centuries
Ancestress
[Verse 6: Björk]
Nature wrote this psalm
It expands this realm
Translucent skin let go of
A cold palm embalmed
