Oceania (Song) (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles "Oceania" is a song by Icelandic singer Bjork. It was formerly planned to be the first single release from Bjork's Medulla album. Later it was just released as a promo. It was written for the 2004 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony, where she performed immediately following the Parade of Nations. As with most of Medulla, the track is composed purely of human vocals and features a London choir and Leeds-based beatboxer Shlomo. The lyrics are written by her friend, Sjon, who is an Icelandic poet and novelist. They are written in the point of view of the ocean who sings about the evolution of humans from her waters. This was the last song written and mixed for the album.
