Cocoon

About Cocoon

"Cocoon" is a song recorded by Icelandic singer Björk for her fourth studio album Vespertine (2001). It was written and produced by Björk and Thomas Knak, and released as the album's third single on 11 March 2002, by One Little Indian Records. Inspired by her relationship with artist Matthew Barney, Björk wanted to make a record with a domestic mood. Working with Knak, she wrote "Cocoon", a song which is lyrically about a woman who describes making love with her lover during their post-coital hibernation, and includes frank sexual narrative related both explicitly and through over-sharing and metaphor. Music critics received "Cocoon" with positive reviews, calling it one of the album's best moments. The song experienced moderate commercial success in record charts in the United Kingdom, Australia, and France, but reached the top 10 in Spain. The accompanying music video for "Cocoon" was directed by Eiko Ishioka and was shot in New York City. It premiered at Raindance Film Festival in October 2001, and was made available online through the singer's official website in February 2002, closer to the song's release as a single. It depicts Björk as a geisha whose makeup extends over her entire bleached nude body. The video was considered inappropriate and was banned from prime-time MTV following her music video for "Pagan Poetry". Björk promoted the song by performing on the Vespertine World Tour and several TV and radio shows. more »

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
Would approach a girl like me
Who caresses
Cradles
His head in a 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
A train of pearls cabin by cabin 
Is shot precisely across an ocean
From a mouth

From
A
From a mouth of a girl like me
To a boy
To a boy
To a boy
