Vespertine es un álbum de Björk, publicado en 2001. El disco incluye 12 canciones, entre ellas «Hidden Place», «Cocoon», «It's Not Up To You» y «Undo».
Sobre el álbum
El álbum Vespertine se presenta como un susurro, un universo sonoro creado para ser escuchado en la intimidad del hogar. Después de la épica de 'Homogenic', Björk gira hacia dentro y construye un mundo de micro-ritmos, cajas de música, arpas celestiales y coros etéreos. Por esta razón, el disco explora temas como el amor doméstico y la sensualidad desde una perspectiva delicada y vulnerable. La producción es increíblemente detallista; la artista utilizó sonidos cotidianos para tejer sus paisajes sonoros, creando una atmósfera de recogimiento.
La voz de Björk se muestra a menudo en un registro suave y contenido, transmitiendo una fragilidad que resulta inmensamente poderosa. Por ejemplo, "Hidden Place" nos introduce a este santuario sonoro, mientras que "Pagan Poetry" combina la sensualidad explícita con una instrumentación exquisita y frágil. El álbum se siente como un nido, un espacio seguro y cálido en medio de un mundo frío. Vespertine es una gran obra de la introspección, una celebración de la belleza que se encuentra en lo pequeño y lo personal.

Letra
Through the warmthest Cord of care Your love was sent to me I'm not sure What to do with it Or where to put it I'm so close to tears And so close to Simply calling you up I'm simply suggesting We go to the hidden place That we go to the hidden place We go to the hidden place We go to a hidden place Now I have Been slightly shy And I can smell a pinch of hope To almost have allowed once fingers To stroke The fingers I was given to touch with But careful, careful There lies my passion, hidden There lies my love I'll hide it under a blanket Lull it to sleep I'll keep it in a hidden place I'll keep it in a hidden place Keep it in a hidden place In a hidden place He's the beautifullest Fragilest Still strong Dark and divine And the littleness of his movements He hides himself He invents a charm to makes he invisible Hides in the hair Can I hide there too? Hide in the hair of him Seek solace Sanctuary In the hidden place In a hidden place In a hidden place We'll stay in a hidden place Ooohh in a hidden place We'll live in a hidden place We'll be in a hidden place In a hidden place - Cocoon4:28
Letra
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 To inhale a beard Loaded with courage Who would have known That a boy like him Possessed of magical Sensitivity Who would approach a girl like me Who caresses 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 Who ahhh Who would have known A train of pearls Cabin by cabin Is shot precisely Across an ocean From a mouth From a From the mouth Of a girl like me To a boy To a boy To a boy - It's Not Up To You5:08

Letra
Pedalling through The dark currents I find an accurate copy A blueprint Of the pleasure in me Swirling black lilies totally ripe A secret code carved, a secret code carved Swirling black lilies totally ripe He offers a handshake Crooked, five fingers They form a pattern Yet to be matched On the surface simplicity (Swirling black lilies totally ripe) But the darkest pit in me It's pagan poetry (Swirling black lilies totally ripe) Pagan poetry Morsecoding signals They pulsate and wake me up From my hibernating On the surface simplicity (Swirling black lilies totally ripe) But the darkest pit in me It's pagan poetry (Swirling black lilies totally ripe) Pagan poetry I love him, I love him I love him, I love him I love him, I love him I love him, I love him She loves him, she loves him She loves him, she loves him She loves him, she loves him She loves him, she loves him This time I'm gonna keep it to myself This time I'm gonna keep me all to myself But he makes me want to hand myself over But he makes me want to hand myself over - Frosti1:41

I will wade out Till my thighs are steeped In burning flowers I will take the sun in my mouth And leap into the ripe air Alive with closed eyes To dash against darkness In the sleeping curves of my body Shall enter fingers Of smooth mastery With chasteness of sea-girls Will I complete the mystery Of my flesh Will I complete the mystery Of my flesh My flesh - Heirloom5:12
Letra
I have a recurrent dream Everytime I loose my voice I swallow little glowing lights My mother and son baked for me And 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 Everytime I feel a hoarseness I swallow warm glowing lights My mother and son baked for me, oh They make me feel so much better They make me feel better We have a recurrent dream Everytime we loose our voices We dream swallow little lights Our mother and son 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 My mother and son pour into us Pour into us Warm glowing oil Into our wide open throats I have a recurrent dream They make me feel better They make me feel better - Harm Of Will4:36
Letra
If there is a troubador washing It is he If there is a man about town It is he If there is one to be sought It is he If there are nine she is They are bought for me This way is as is she And he placed her Unclothed Long long longlegged On top of the family tree And if he has chosen the point While she is under him Then leave her coily placed crouched sucking him For it is I with Her on knee I leave her Without pith or feel And leave her be Leave it be For he controls what there'll be He makes his face known to none For if he is seen Then all will And all will know Know me - Unison6:45
