saturday9: From Iceland... Björk, "I Miss You"

I Miss You

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!
Saturday 9: I Miss You (1997)

.. because Smellyann suggested it

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) In this song, Bjork knows what she's looking for in a mate, she just hasn't met him yet. If you are/were still looking for The One, what two qualities would you hope he/she possessed?
I'd want a kind man, full of love.  He'd have to want a family, and work to protect and support them.  Why two?

2) The lyrics ask if you believe "that a dream can come true." Do you believe that dreams come true if you wish hard enough? 
I don't believe in wishes.  I believe in a power with limitless benevolence that wishes us well.  Without a miracle, I wasn't going to live to be 20.  I got my miracle.

3) Bjork turns 50 this year. Do you treat "milestone" birthdays differently? Or to you, is your age just a number?
I completely believe that age is just a number.

4) Bjork was always highly musical. At the tender age of 6 she began studying classical piano and flute. Sam is impressed because at the age of 6, she was still trying to master tying her shoes. Do you consider yourself musical?
There was a time when I considered music to be the best thing about me.  To some extent, I still feel that it is.

5) She was born and raised in Reykjavik, Iceland. While the city is known for its bar scene, beer was banned there until 1995. How often do drink beer?
I don't drink at all.  Bad for my meds, and bad for me.  But there was a time when I really enjoyed having a beer.

6) 66ºNORTH is one of Iceland's biggest employers. This clothier makes quality outdoor wear and this time of year they sell a lot of durable rainwear. Do you have a raincoat?
OOOps missed this one... No, I don't have a raincoat.  I do have a rain resistant parka type jacket and muck boots.  I'm going to go have a look at 66°NORTH.  I wear North Face and a couple of other down products.

7) In 1997, when this song was popular in clubs, Titanic was popular in theaters. Sam saw it and yes, she cried. How about you? Have you seen the saga of Jack and Rose? Did you enjoy it?
I was horrified that only a few people remembered the people in steerage.  I loved the movie and think it deserves it's blockbuster status.

8) Also in 1997, singer John Denver died. Name a John Denver song.
"Annie's Song".  I really do like that one a lot.  Except that he would sometimes change keys in the middle of a song, I really did enjoy his voice and his singing.  He was a very good song writer/singer. Good Man!   A poet.

Then there is that part of knowing Aspen before it became a compound of sky lodges and mansions.  It was an amazing little Rocky Mountain town.

9) Random question: If you had the opportunity to sky dive, would you take it?

No.  I'd rather learn how to para sail.  

Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts.
