Vespertine is the fifth studio album by Icelandic musician Björk, released on 27 August 2001, on One Little Indian Records. It was recorded at locations in Spain, Iceland and the United States in 2000; production began during the filming of Dancer in the Dark, which was characterized by conflict between the singer and director Lars von Trier. Björk, a self-titled coffee table book containing photographs of the singer throughout her career, was released simultaneously with the album. Vespertine's sound reflected Björk's newly found interest in the music of artists such as Thomas Knak, who was also enlisted as a producer.
Björk wanted to make an album with an intimate, winter, domestic sound. With the rising popularity of Napster and music downloads, she decided to use instruments whose sound would not be compromised when downloaded and played in a computer: these include the harp —played by Zeena Parkins—, celesta, clavichord and music boxes, the latter were custom made; strings are also heavily featured. In Vespertine Björk also added "microbeats" made from the sampling of shuffling cards and ice being cracked, among other household sounds with the help of the duo Matmos. Lyrically, it revolves around sex and love —sometimes explicitly—, inspired by the singer's new relationship with Matthew Barney. Other lyrical sources include a poem by E. E. Cummings, the play Crave and collaborator Harmony Korine.

Información y algunos comentarios (Information and some comments) Cuando Björk lanzó 'Vespertine' en agosto de 2001, algunas canciones quedaron fuera de la edición final del álbum. Esas canciones aparecieron posteriormente como 'lados B', en los sencillos elegidos para promocionar el disco. La siguiente colección de canciones (denominada 'Domestica'; siendo este el nombre que Björk habría de elegir en un principio para lo que luego fue 'Vespertine) incluye 7 'lados B' y 5 remixes de algunas de las canciones de 'Vespertine', que también fueron lanzados junto con los sencillos.

Unfortunately the video did not come up well, and every time I've tried to upload more videos björk full presentations, including this one, youtube does not allow it, so sorry!!
show me all the flesh
that you keep beneath your skin
and maybe in time
i'll show you mine
when there's nothing left
to hold me back from exploding
oh i'm coming apart
i'm bursting at the
seams like you're always after the jackpot
oh, eyes on the prize
eyes on the prize
When there's no way out
so quick to your guns and
fits of fury
leave me out
this all leads to nothing
nothing in the end
photographs of converstations in public
there's nowhere to run
there's nowhere to hide
hide behind a wall of concrete
lies & candy
you'll never take us alive
never take us alive
When there's no way out
so quick to your guns and
fits of fury
leave me out
this all leads to nothing
nothing in the end
