Cocoon by Bjork I utterly love this song... these personal lyrics touch me deeper than anything Prince has done the last 10 years... 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 |

Nevermind Prince, probably the last of the Bjork stuff I really enjoyed. | |

Heh, I read this reaction and then your AMAZING Britney/Talking Heads (Slave 4 U/Seen And Not Seen) mash-up came on... I think it's the most perfect mash-up I ever heard... Another thanks for putting it together...  |

Back on topic; I remember hearing this song and having to sit down cuz it was such a personal lyric and it was like she bared the soul of her love.
And I am still amazed. |

Yeah, this is really a great song. And there are so many great songs on that album that to me it's great that something this good is actually not one of my top favorites from it.
Oh, and thanks for not posting that wacko video  "Try to remember how you used to feel about me
and think about how you're treating me now. Then try to reconcile them, if you can. But you don't even remember, do you?" | |

He initially did, but then read the reactions on the youtube clip and remembered how Orgers like to moan and went for this one. |

My God- I forgot just how beautiful the lyrics were to "Cocoon:
"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" "There is no such thing in life as normal..." | |

When I heard the song for the first time I could not believe that first verse. So intimate.
I still blus a bit when I hear it now. It is intimate, yet so revealing in so many ways... |
