It's hard to pick a favorite Björk song, but this one is way up there. Intimate and totally exposed at the same time, it gently rattles you until you nearly crack into two.
Escuchar Cocoon en vivo en frente a ella, ha sido el momento mas sublime de mi vida. Si existiese metáfora digna de comparación usaría: "me sentí con bendecido por la sonrisa de un ángel".
Who is to judge us lovers, when we love, theres nothing else in this world but who you love. and that person is the most beautiful one there is in the universe.
GOD Bless Gay Love!!!! GOD Bless Straight Love!!!! GOD Bless All Kinds Of Love Yet To Exist Or Now Existent. And Those who say the contrary are just envy demons.
This song is the most beautiful thing I have heard. I also began crying when I heard it. Its soul shattering and yet, visceral. Its speaks to the part of you that only so many can touch with their mouth. I miss this feeling. I want to feel this way.

been watching this video for years cause the subtleties of the video and the live sound is, well, extraordinary. Crazy peeps are still posting.
I also become very hopeful knowing there are women on the planet like bjork; so in tune with herself, her emotions, so intimate and thoughtful and wide eyed about the world. I can imagine she as a child being very curious. I then get sad knowing I'll probably never find a woman quite so curious and in tune with herself and not full of bullsh**.

I was listening to this and suddenly I started crying like a child. Somehow it made me aware that the person I wanted to have by my side does not exist.
the song is delicate, and makes me incredibly emotional. bjork is a musical visionary. i would also give credit to the others contributing to it as-well, absolutely phenomenal!
@wonderingheights They just sound like a few sensual words in Icelandic. Although it could be gibberish, she does say most of the time when it sounds like shes talking Icelandic, its just sounds she makes up ^-^
did anyone ever watch a video of bjork singing pagan poetry and a man (very likely to be one of those guys in this video) was stepping on something to create sound throughout the performance? i dont rmb much as i watched it long time ago and it should be something similar to what i described... now i couldnt find it can someone help me out?
Those gay guys are the reason that half of these songs even exist. They're the one's who made the beats. They deserve a little credit, and a lot of respect--more than you're giving, at least.
This is one of the biggest myths about Bjork. Actually, these guys did not produce this song and did not create the beats for it. They arranged the beats for the life performance. As for the whole album - they did not produce it as well, but helped with programming on 4 songs. The producers were Bjork, Knak (for this song) and Console (for Heirloom). So these guys are not the reason these songs exist, but they deserve their credit for live performance.
@bnin90 They are Matmos...not "those gay guys" and Björk brought them in after every thing was written to add texture to the songs. They aren't the reason half the songs exist, Björk is. Matmos is great, but anyone could go in and add interesting beats, the hard part is composing the actual melodies/harmonies of the song. Matmos does deserve credit, but you're giving them a little too much.
BTW - I reccomend everyone to buy this Live DVD, or at least see the videos here on the Tube. One GREAT concert! Do notice those two "wacky" musicians in the background, they create some wicked good sounds with those special synthecizers. Simply wicked good vibes! LOL
There are certains songs that touch the soul... deep down inside ourselves...without us knowing sometimes. Its very dificult for a musician to bring out those emotions out. Bjork has that "special touch" of making those emotions and feelings come out in us. I admire her style of composition and her style too. One hell of a cool lady! Very original indeed!
omg i cant believe this.. i read your comment and lol'ed at it firt and until at 4:24.. and than at 4:24 i started crying a little.. amazing, i so love Björk
@manolocinart I cry with this song too , If you are alone, think about the happy moments you lived w someone. If you are w someone, thank God for the presence of him/her in your life.
as usual she says uncomprehansable Icelandic words, but sometimes you're able to understand whether you're Icelander or if she wants us to understand)
yes, i double checked it now ;) but what their are doing is making static noises by touching his back, neck and hair with a sensor and uses it for the beats.
maybe she didn't discover it until the tour? i do think many live versions are much better than the album, it would be nice if there would be more studio album with the tour-versions just like in Voltaic, I loved the Greatest Hit's tour versions
My wife and I watched this video tonight, together.
We cried a little, softly, and knew that the Universe had given us another gift, a reflection of our love.
I hope that you all get to experience the magic of this song with the ones that you love deeply.
