I find it fascinating how spot on your interpretations were for each song! The way you dissected the lyrics even before looking up their meanings was so interesting and I loved the way you highlighted the most unique vocal moments and explained what you liked about them! It really seems like youre fully immersing yourself into the music and picking up as much as you possibly can on a first listen! You show a lot of respect to the music and the artist behind it! Also I would love to see a reaction to Vulnicura! Edit: Harm of will, at first was probably my least favorite as well but now I realize that its such a beautiful and emotional song in the most subtle way. It's like not right on the nose what it's saying or what you're supposed to be feeling when listening to it but thats what makes it so complex to me, there are quiet moments, there are these huge buildups and then slightly haunting and very sad moments. It's like a small little world of sounds in itself and the lyrics are just vague enough that it leaves you clueless to what this song is really about.

First time I heard Vespertine was almost 7 years ago (I was 12, lol), and it really defined my way to understand my self, my identity and my emotional and sexual world throghout the years. I ended up understanding "It's Not Up To You" to be an anthem and/or a tale about autonomy on pleasure and masturbation to go through the feelings of emptiness and pressure we might have because of the way our live is set. When "the day feels broken", sometimes the thing we do is to "tilt your head and try to get an angle" (as in, an angle to, you know, self pleasure for a woman); and sometimes it feels like a claim on autonomy and conduction of pleasure with a partner ("I can decide what I give but it's not up to me what I get given"). There's a sort of climax (orgasm?) to the song before the end, and right after she gives us this really tight, closed, even shameful outro talking about "clinging" and "pressure", as in, right after this wonderful feeling of intense pleasure, she's back to the pressure and this avalanche of emptiness she's describing at the beginning. That last line, I also understand it as a diagnose (maybe?) on the way women are taught to understand her pleasure: with shame, and according to the rules that patriarchy and men has set upon them. (Also, my first language is not english so I understood, for many years, "there's too much cleaning" instead of "clinging", so, well, after a good orgasm I guess it makes sense to have some cleaning to do hahaha). Of course, I didn't understand this the first time I listened, but I built this interpretation during the years and the experiences I've had on the way. Bjork has never been ashamed to put her sexual feelings on her music, and Vespertine is stated as a very erotic and intimate album, so it might as well make some sense too. I hope it makes some sense for you too hahah, as bjork says: love and warmth to you fern

Mi álbum favorito de Björk! Al escucharlo te transmite ese sentimiento de intimidad invernal, de misticismo rodeado de líricas eróticas y poéticas, con clímax tan épicos como cinematográficos, a la vez mezclado con estos microosonidos que Björk impecablemente implementa. Definitivamente es un álbum hermoso de principio a fin y perfecto para escucharlo en invierno, obviamente. Debes reaccionar a Prioritise Pleasure de Self Esteem (para mi uno de los mejores álbumes del año; si no es el mejor) y amo tus reacciones! Todas son muy buenas!💖 desde Argentina

Vespertine (2001; 12/12) & Homogenic (1997; 10/10) are perfect albums from Bjork. I don't have to skip any songs. Also enjoy Selmasongs (2000; 7/7) her underrated soundtrack. Bjork was on a next-level creative tear from 1997-2001. Her zenith.

(albeit the more popular ones from the obscurity. music enthusiasts dont come for me) I think thats so cool and im so glad youre here. it sucks these artists arent as famous as they should be and thus the ad revenue/views is probably not so great but i can tell theres a genuine interest and enjoyment from u which makes it all the better xx also your makeup and hair is everything. keep doing you

You said that the whole "Hidden Place" sounds like "jungle, other planet". I am of of same opinion! I want to add that this song sounds like what people call "paradise", "heaven", choir that sings like angels and Björk is a goddess. I think it's a place that is kinda ethereal, that's why it's "hidden". I also imagine a beach with constant sunny weather, blue ocean, waves, and palms all around!

Coming from Undo to Pagan Poetry evokes such different feelings! A journey of acceptance of love, being loved, being touched and desired. It still feels like a kind of release but different from the first, like, now that she's walking away from the struggle, how to give yourself entirely to someone? Undo feels so "holy", because endurance is sacred, to bear the pain and to release is sacred, but to let yourself be touched once you descend, it's a curse, it's unholy. its a descent to what's tainted and pagan in love... I love that, because it's so ironic considering how marriage is considered to be the sacred part of a relationship, to her, it's where the pagan commences.

I’m not gonna lie, I used to enjoy this album then smoked some devil’s lettuce and decided to listen on my headphones and now I swear by this album 😂 Seriously, all those clicks and noises come to the foreground and it’s magical. Just 💨 and 🎧 Also, in case you didn’t know, for this album, she got the second best harpist player in the world, an orchestra, an Icelandic female choir (which are the sound you think are strings in Hidden Place) and a duo from SF who added the click and gravels and electronic noises. They all got to your together. The concert is available somewhere out there. It’s a glorious thing to watch.
