    Björk on 'Vespertine - "It's about not speaking for days and daydreaming
    and it's snowing outside. It's about zooming in and finding heaven underneath
    your kitchen table. Most people think that the life they lead is boring
    and the noises they hear every day are ugly. But if you take those same
    noises and make them into something magical and out of the ordinary, I
    think that's brave." text: Spin 2001 by Thomas Beller, "Into The Light"

    Björk has stated several reasons why the album was called "Vespertine" One of these is the prayer aspect of the album: "vespers" are evening prayers. The other reason is that the word "vespertine" relates to night time, for example things that come out at night. Björk felt that this theme was also present on the album. In the song "It's Not Up To You", she sings "The evening I've always longed for, it could still happen".

    An ex-lover left this hanging from my doorknob in the plastic bag from where she bought it. While I've not spoken to her in a decade, I remember her kindness, and would love to thank her for this excellent cd. Sensual, erotic, and beautiful.

    It’s Not Up To You is my favorite of all bjork’s offerings....through the years I’ve grown with her....and this visual is charming but does not represent how this song makes me feel. Like when you care about a book you’re reading and then someone decides to make a movie about it. No one humanly possible can ever capture our interior life and the thoughts that feelings and impressions create.

    I wake up
    And the day feels
    Broken
    I tilt my head
    I'm trying
    To get an angle
    'Cause the evenin'
    I've always longed for
    It could still happen
    How do I master
    The perfect day?
    Six glasses of water
    Seven phone calls
    If you leave it alone
    It might just happen
    Anyway
    It's not up to you
    (Oh, it never really was)
    It's not up to you
    (Oh, it never really was)
    It's not up to you
    (Well, it never really was)
    It's not up to you
    If you wake up
    And the day feels
    Ah broken
    Just lean into the crack
    (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)
    It's not up to you
    (Oh, it never really was)
    It's not up to you
    (Oh, it never really was)
    It's not up to you
    (Oh, me share)
    It's not up to you
    It's not up to you
    (Oh, it never really was)
    It's not up to you
    (Well, it never really was)
    It's not up to you
    It's not up to you
    It's not up to you
    It's not up to you
    There's too much
    Clinging
    To peak
    There's too much
    Pressure

      @@InfiniteTony I know that Utada, (the openings' singer) has stated once that Bjork is one of her favorite artists. Wouldn't say 'copied' but it is noticeable that she was highly influenced by her in this one. 😅
      You can also notice it in some of her songs besides Kingdom Hearts series. (perfect example of this is her first english album called 'Exodus' , I believe Hotel Lobby and The Workout could fit in Post álbum)
