Latest Update! New video "Pagan Poetry" and other related goodies available at: www.showstudio.com

Promotion CDs of the album have been sent to media, and mp3 files from this CD leaked into Napster and various Mp3 sites. Bjork sent a request to Napster to filter out the Vespertine songs, so it is now impossible to find Verpertine tracks there, with their original names.

A brief review of Vespertine:

This album is probably the most "homogenious" album of Bjork so far. Has a very strong and magical feeling all over, and ends up with a very beautiful and majestical way, like a dreamy musical... There is almost no high-light track, instead a 50 minute experience of pure beauty of love-flavored poetic expressions. No aggressivity at all.

Boys and church choir, harp, strings and sparkling electronic drums and effects accompany to Bjork. This may sound as if the album has a mellow or jazzy soundscape, but this is not a fact, really. The electronics are used to the limits, and especially the choir adds a unique majesticity to songs, with its frequent, sudden and amazing apperances.

The lyrics in the album are very espressive and sharp.

aurora

threading the glacier head
looking hard for moments of shine
from twilight to twilight
heading for the sublime

aurora goddess sparkle
shoot me beyond this suffer
the need is great

aurora

aurora goddess sparkle
a mountain shadow
suggests your shape
i fill my mouth with snow
the way it melts
i wish to melt before you

aurora goddess sparkle :

spark the sun off
spark the sun off

it's not up to you

i wake up
and the day feels broken
i tilt my head
try to get an angle
the evening i've always longed for
it could still happen

how do i master
the perfect day
six glasses of water
seven phonecalls

if you leave it alone it might just happen

anyway

it's not up to you
well it never really was...


if you wake up
and your day feels broken
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...


there is too much clinging to peak
there is too much pressure

† who would have known that a boy like him 
would have entered me lightly restoring † my blisses

† who would have known that a boy like him
after sharing my core would stay going nowhere

† who would have known a beauty this immense
† who would have known a saintly trance
† who would have known :
miraculous breath inhales a beard loaded with courage

† who would have known that a boy like him
possessed of magical sensitivity
† would approach a girl like me
who carresses, cradles his head in her bosom

† he slides inside
† half awake half asleep
† we faint back into sleephood
† when i wake up
the second time
in his arms : gorgeousness : he's still inside me !!!!

....?... who would have known ...?....†

† a train of pearls, cabin by cabin
is shot precisely across an ocean
† from a mouth ...
from a mouth ...
from a mouth of a girl like me
to a boy ... to a boy ... to a boy

i have a recurrent dream
every time i loose my voice
i swallow little glowing lights
my mother and son baked for me

during the night
they do a trapeze walk
until they're in the sky
right above my bed

while i'm asleep
my mother and son pour into me
warm glowing oil
into my wide open throat

i have a recurrent dream
every time i feel a hoarseness
i swallow warm glowing lights
my mother and son baked for me

they make me feel better

they make me feel better


we have a recurrent dream
everytime we loose our voices
we dream we swallow little lights
our mother and sons bake for us

during the night
they do a little trapeze walk
until they're in the sky
right above our heads
while we're asleep
our mothers and sons pour into us
warm glowing oil
into our wide open throats



i have a recurrent dream ...
