about this song
The ninth track of the highly-acclaimed 2001 album "Vespertine", its lyrics were adapted from E. E. Cummings' poem, “I Will Wade Out” (1923). Her vocals are accompanied by a string orchestra, a harp, and soft electronica. The vocal technique of Björk gives the listener the impression that she is singing close to them, with even breaths clearly audible. The lyrics' references to bodily parts represent unambiguous sexuality. These images of the body and sexuality, however, appear besides images of nature.
