Three generations, Björk, her daughter Isadora and her mother Hildur Runa Hauksdóttir.

We remember Hildur Rúna Hauksdóttir, Björk’s mother who has recently deceased.

“Quicksand” is about her mother. https://youtu.be/JtHrvhb5myg

The oldest song on Vulnicura (2015), according to New York Times, Björk wrote in 2011 after her mother suffered a heart attack that left her in a coma for a week.

Björk in a Interview said:

“I’d been trying to put some beats to Quicksand and nothing worked. It’s a song about my mother who had a heart attack and she was in a coma for six days, she’s much better now, so it’s in a different category to all my other songs, because I’d never written a song about my mother before.

I heard John’s [A.K.A Spaces] beat online and I knew immediately that it would fit exactly with the song. I contacted him and it was very awkward because I had never worked like this before. I said to him, ‘it seems like I’ve made a mash-up of your song and my song and this is what we got. Are you okay with this, can I release it, how do you feel about this?’ John said yes and we put it on the album. I was really lucky that he was up for it.”
