Vespertine


It's Not Up to You

strings go from dainty to soul-searching then back again. chorus blooms like the most beautiful of lotus flowers.

rating: spine-tingling/life-affirming event
2Bjork
Vespertine


Aurora

when a voice makes you feel inadequate, when a harp evokes the waterfall, when a song title reflects what it contains

rating: stunning natural light show/once-in-a-lifetime experience
3Bjork
Vespertine


Cocoon

with the quiet crackle of flame flitting around in the background, bjork whispers diaristic and intimate. the last thing heard before falling asleep.

rating: calming/aural massage
4Bjork
Vespertine


Hidden Place

introducing the album as it is: a synthesis of glitchy percussion and lofty instrumentation, carried by an even loftier voice. backing vocals dance around the fire at night.

rating: very good/very good
5Bjork
Vespertine


Pagan Poetry

if Bjork is a religion i feel like this poem is it's Our Father.
i love it. i love it. i love it. i love it.

rating: vocal acrobatics/cirque du soleil
6Bjork
Vespertine


Undo

the voice as an instrument, regret as a melody, the wind as a friend

rating: choral backing vocals/the best gospel song ever written
7Bjork
Vespertine


Heirloom

a recurrent dream. the bass comes from the deepest recesses of your head.

rating: some vague nostalgia/the most vivid childhood memory
8Bjork
Vespertine


Unison

steadily moving forward, everything shuffles and reshuffles while She glides over the top lithely like She always does

rating: a common thread/complete and utter harmony
9Bjork
Vespertine


An Echo A Stain

ominous but luminous. there's no need to apologise.

rating: noticeable skin crawls/hours spent cave dwelling
10Bjork
Vespertine


Frosti

wind chimes and plucked feathers. a morsel of forever.

rating: tran/sitional
11Bjork
Vespertine


Sun In My Mouth

when you swallow the sun you begin to glow

rating: natural patterns/sexual identity
12Bjork
Vespertine


Harm of Will

last in line but still graceful, still world-class; like a gymnast placing last at the olympics

rating: discontent/loneliness in a crowded place
