blissing me lyrics:
all of my mouth was kissing him
now into the air i am missing him
is this excess texting a blessing
or just two music nerds obsessing

he reminds me of the love in me
i’m celebrating on a vibrancy
sending each other mp3s
falling in love to a song

this handsommest of wickermen
he asked if i could wait for him
now how many lightyears this interim
while falling in love with his songs

his hands are good in protecting me
touching and caressing me
but would it be trespassing
wanting him to be blissing me
robbing him of his youth

cliffhanger like suspension
my longing has formed its own skeleton
bridging the gap between singletons
sending each other these songs

the interior of these melodies
is perhaps where we are meant to be
our physical union a fantasy
i just fell in love with

so i reserve my intimacies
i bundle them up in packages
my rawward longing far too visceral
did i just fall in love with love?

There will never be another musician quite like Björk.

More than two years later, this became one of my favorite songs from utopia. Her work seriously grows on you, it's like she plants the seeds, and at the perfect moment they bloom. This makes my heart feel at such a vulnerable state. I absolutely love her for this specific quality.

[kyondarko]

If David Bowie lives on Mars, Björk will live in Pluto

[fndo]

This era is so special for me. I love the production between Björk and Arca. I'm to excited for her 10th album.

[lindareznik]

it never occurred to me that "MP3" sounds like the word "empathy" before this song

[bagh]

Who would have known that a girl like this, possessed of magical sensitivity, would release a song like this about falling in love by sending mp3s?.

[effymarvic]

depression: cured
skin: cleared
soul: cleansed

[biggestfanofroger]

it makes sense. She's in an empty space. The communication is all virtual. She doesn't know where she stands with him

[björksurrounded]

'utopia' + headphones = paradise .

[Katastrphic_Katicorn]

She's actually a fairy. I am 900% sure of it.

[theowlmama]

Her eyes are my favorite part of the video! I love how big the pupils look, like she's beyond amazed and just drowning in all kinds of emotions; and they're so expressive too, at the beginning they look so happy, but at the end they're sad. So awesome!

[TheTiki]

She’s sooo absolutely adorable in this video! I love her look, her outfit, her hair, her make up, her movements, her smile, her sclera recovering contacts, her negative space eyebrows, the butterflies and flowers in her hair, the red dot on the back of her neck, the yellow tights she has underneath the sheer blue jumpsuit, the yellow platform shoes, The love and happiness in the lyrics💜🌸💜

[KVLwrites]

This song makes me feel like I have a very loving relationship with the world

[ryanwright]

Love this song. Millenial love song. "Is this excess texting a blessing?"

[avrilprinzip]

The perfect Love Song for the 21st Century . So fragile, so simple, so alien, so hypnotic, like a Mantra to lull digital natives who are lovers but also old school romantics with a tendency to daydream.

[jaslove]

Why is no one talking about how snatched her brows are in this video? I'm here for it!

[sweetpotatogreens]

Love the gestures, makeup, hair, hair and face pieces... All tying in to the fresh feeling of this song.

[charliez]

yes - Björk hasn't done a hit song like Human Behaviour, Hyperballad or Jóga in ages. but once you put your headphones on and listen really carefully... damn, some of those new songs on Vulnicura and Utopia have really interesting structures and "little" ideas (just follow closely what's happening after 1:58). I was similarly impressed with "Mouth Mantra" or "Notget" and a couple of songs on Utopia are sure really interesting works as well.

[Rosalina]

Very seldom will you find an artist that truly carves her own canvas and paints it however she pleases, without the noisy eye of the industry befalling her. She's an inspiration to me, as an aspiring music producer.

[rva]

I thought I was creative...and I watch Bjork.
