Through the warmest 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 tear
And so close to simply calling you up
And simply suggesting

We go to that hidden place
That we go to that hidden place
We go to that hidden place
We go to a hidden place

Now, I have been slightly shy
But 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
Keep it in a hidden place

He's the beautifulest
Fragilest
Still strong
Dark and divine
And the littleness of his movements
Hides himself

He invents a charm
That makes him invisible
Hides in the hair

Can I hide there too?
Hide in the hair of him
Seek solace
Sanctuary

In that hidden place
In a hidden place
In a hidden place
We'll stay in a hidden place
Oh, in a hidden place
We'll live in a hidden place
We'll be in a hidden place
In a hidden place

Yes, she's original - Yes, she has a unique voice - Yes, I can see the art there - Still, it's like work listening to her. Not my favorite....

Only slightly less painful to endure than a kidney stone.

I can't help myself listening to her. She has the most unique vocal style out there. Completely bizarre, but likeable. Aw, heck, I can't explain it, I just like her.

Not my favorite track off Vespertine, but still worthy of a 9!

Funny that this follows Bird York. When Bill announced the Bird York song, I thought he said "beeyork" FYI, this song rocks the docks.

On an almost completely unrelated note, shouldn't the plural of album actually be alba? Then again, we do speak English and not Latin...
That comment just made my night I still love this song after first hearing it here on RP 3.5 years ago.

I LOVE Björk. I think her lyrics are interesting and poetic. I think her music is original and stunning. I think her voice is artistic and expressive. Her weirdness makes her even cooler. I have many of her albums. Each one has its own style and character. On an almost completely unrelated note, shouldn't the plural of album actually be alba? Then again, we do speak English and not Latin...

I do not like this Bjork. The music is not pleasing and her voice is horrible.

Have a few Bjork albums, read a good piece about her in the New Yorker a couple months back. Bjork is basically weird but cool. But sometimes she 'gets up my hole', to use the vernacular of my hometown. I'm glad she makes the music she does, but I'm not always in the mood for it. For her critics here, I'd suggest giving her a chance. Small bites though, like I tell my three year old. :nodhead: That's why we listen to RP, right?. It's like eating your veggies: even if you don't like the taste sometimes - it's good for you!

Let me get this straight - like "Byerk" rhymes with "quirk"? That could get me through.

I'm a big fan of Bjork's work although I wasn't impressed with this album. I suggest something from "Homogenic", like "Joga"... pronounced "yoga", rhymes with toga

i like it, it's not somethin you often hear, which is the point of listening to radio paradise. GOOD JOB :)
Posted 20 years ago by Jimi_Zep    [ Reply ]
She is an artist, she is original, she is creative.... that said, I just don't get it. Maybe its my problem but this always reminds me of crap played in art colleges to audiences if 5 to 12 people who are gushing on about the genius of it all... Keep mixing stuff like this in RP, maybe some day i'll figure Bjork out... Until then I have volume control.

It's icelandig (and Swedish too, actually) for birch-tree. About her music: I really can't make up my mind on whether this is pure genius or just pretentious, pompous junk...

This is a great song and interesting album. Did anyone see her on HBO "Reverb" performing this album live in NYC? Mesmerizing. All done with a music box contraption, a few laptops, a harpist, and a chorus of Icelandic ladies. She is an acquired taste. Keep on playing Bjork!
Posted 21 years ago by Redbud    [ Reply ]
Man, what's up with all the Bjork blasting? Stuff like this is why I listen to RP! Keep it coming! One of the most innovative artists of our time. Very uninhibited, talented pop. Love it!

I used to think Bjork's music got bad after she left the Sugarcubes and went solo. The more I think about it, she's always been bad, and the sugarcubes were good in spite, not because of, her.
But she has an amazing voice... very expressive and not afraid to use it!

......I always thought it was pronounced 'wanker', until recently, having really enjoyed it on RP, so much so I might carve m'self a large slicde of humble pie and buy a copy!

I\'ve finally heard Bjork on RP. My happiness is complete. She single-handedly resurrected my faith in music by creating albums that are works of art and music that is actually new.

Hmmmmm. This sounds like everything else on the radio. I have no opinion. ;) :roll: Actually sounds nothing like Tom Waits, but each have a truly unique vision and talent. Sometimes they do something I like, too!

Did anybody check out Reverb when she did this song live? She had a choir of American Indian women behind her and a guy with a mic shuffling cards! It was weird, and like with most of Bjork it worked great! Thanks RP! Oh and again, if you are going to spend the time to rip on and artist then at least have the decency to EXPLAIN WHY you don\'t like them..

sorry, but BEE-york and dork rhyme as much as antler and hitler rhyme. same ending, different beginning. no rhyme though.
Posted 22 years ago by mlsully7    [ Reply ]
Bjork\'s music is truly weird and beautiful - I\'ve been listening to her since the first SugarCubes release, \"Life\'s Too Good\", and am still hooked on that unique voice, emotional openness, and musical creativity. I agree with previous comment: how about some more Bjork, especially from the first two releases. Eric

Bjork is an amazing artist, and this song is one of her surrealistic paintings. :D
Posted 22 years ago by Cy    [ Reply ]
I\'m firmly in the anti-Bjork camp. Irritating voice, though I could possibly see myself starting to like the music a bit if not for that.... Well, maybe not.
Posted 22 years ago by reid    [ Reply ]
YUMM YUMM YUMM!!! I love just about everything and everything from Bjork, all the way back to early Sugarcubes. she just keeps on getting better and better - this whole album is incredible. :D

Bjork rhymes with Dork ... a coincidence? I think not. Ok, maybe I\'m being a little too judgemental. I had never heard anything of hers outside of RP, and this is the only one I\'ve heard here. I just don\'t like this song. Maybe if I heard something else of hers? Please?
Posted 22 years ago by Lil_Chickadee    [ Reply ]
It\'s because of music like this that I turn up the volume. Thanks for playing Bjork!
