Björk on 'Vespertine - "It's about not speaking for days and daydreaming
and it's snowing outside. It's about zooming in and finding heaven underneath
your kitchen table. Most people think that the life they lead is boring
and the noises they hear every day are ugly. But if you take those same
noises and make them into something magical and out of the ordinary, I
think that's brave." text: Spin 2001 by Thomas Beller, "Into The Light"

Björk has stated several reasons why the album was called "Vespertine" One of these is the prayer aspect of the album: "vespers" are evening prayers. The other reason is that the word "vespertine" relates to night time, for example things that come out at night. Björk felt that this theme was also present on the album. In the song "It's Not Up To You", she sings "The evening I've always longed for, it could still happen".

Vespertine is the best album in the world !

It’s Not Up To You is my favorite of all bjork’s offerings....through the years I’ve grown with her....and this visual is charming but does not represent how this song makes me feel. Like when you care about a book you’re reading and then someone decides to make a movie about it. No one humanly possible can ever capture our interior life and the thoughts that feelings and impressions create.

An ex-lover left this hanging from my doorknob in the plastic bag from where she bought it. While I've not spoken to her in a decade, I remember her kindness, and would love to thank her for this excellent cd. Sensual, erotic, and beautiful.

I wake up
And the day feels
Broken
I tilt my head
I'm trying
To get an angle
'Cause the evenin'
I've always longed for
It could still happen
How do I master
The perfect day?
Six glasses of water
Seven phone calls
If you leave it alone
It might just happen
Anyway
It's not up to you
(Oh, it never really was)
It's not up to you
(Oh, it never really was)
It's not up to you
(Well, it never really was)
It's not up to you
If you wake up
And the day feels
Ah broken
Just lean into the crack
(Just lean into the crack)
And it will tremble
Ever so nicely
Notice
How it sparkles
Down there
I can decide
What I give
But it's not up to me
What I get given
Unthinkable surprises
About to happen
But what they are
It's not up to you
(Well, it never really was)
It's not up to you
(Oh, it never really was)
It's not up to you
(Oh, it never really was)
It's not up to you
(Oh, me share)
It's not up to you
It's not up to you
(Oh, it never really was)
It's not up to you
(Well, it never really was)
It's not up to you
It's not up to you
It's not up to you
It's not up to you
There's too much
Clinging
To peak
There's too much
Pressure

[zelisko]

again a wonderful movie - it impresses me to tears ... really nice 

[kalpanaruhela]

When brokenness becomes an everyday schedule

[tobyhdr]

"There's too much clinging. There's too much pressure."

[sueharding]

When that base sweeps in at 1.36 and 3.24 its just bliss.

[itsZObro]

[neomaximus]

[tofolcano]

Such a strange feeling to be reminded that we're not in control of anything and everything was already set up to happen since the big bang.
We're just eyes smh 😔.

[remileszczynski]

Jestem zauroczony tą historyjką, aż łezka w oku się kręci.
Bardzo udane połączenie obrazu i piosenki.

[haidanonearth]

[InfiniteTony]

This song gives me a *Kingdom Hearts* vibe from their opening songs... don't know why, but I like it.

[emeraldcrystahl]

Still Love Bjork Though. She Will Always Be Queen

[marekknapinski]

[nability]

Well, this is only mildly depressing 😔

I came to this via the excellent cover by Stornoway and can see they did a great job with it.
