Bjork repeats the same sentence during all the song: "possibly maybe, probably love". And between the times she repeats it, there are the stanzas, where she talks about the different phases of a love story. The first flirt, then falling in love, then the first insecurities and doubts, then the problems, then delusion, then leaving and breaking up, and then still thinking about that person when everything is already gone. (if you check the lyrics, you'll find out that I described every single stanza). But there's something repetitive, love is like a circle, that's why the chord never changes and she repeats always the same sentence...like a circle...love is a circle...circles...

Such a simple sentence, but deep. It means "It will not always be in this way". It's latin, but I couldn't find the author. I read it on the wall of a palace, right upon the doorway, and it immediately caught my attention. I've been studying latin for a lot of years, and I'm still studying it. I love how you can learn so much from something that is so far from you. I mean, the latin language that I study was used during the first century b.c. It' s a lot of time ago. So why can I still understand what those authors have written? How is it possible that I can still empathize with them?

My answer is: the emotions, feelings are the same. They didn't change through the centuries, the millenniums. We cry, get angry and furious, rejoice, we are scared and stupid and irrational as much as we were at those ancient times. Humans used to love and hate, we still love and hate. It's a costant.

That's why the Homeric poems can still entertain us, that's why Sappho's poems can move my soul and Catullo's can make me think that I feel exactly like him.

It's the surreal magic of the eternity.
