Otto anni dopo "Forbidden Colours", altra collaborazione a quattro mani firmata David Sylvian / Ryuichi Sakamoto.
Un brano molto elegante e d'atmosfera, secondo lo stile musicale di entrambi i musicisti.
Il brano è contenuto nel disco "Heartbeat" di Ryuichi Sakamoto pubblicato nel 1991 nel solo Giappone e nel 1992 in tutto il mondo. Successivamente è stato pubblicato in versione remix nella doppia raccolta di David Sylvian "Everything And Nothing" del 2000.
Al brano partecipa vocalmente Ingrid Chavez, che nel 1992 sarebbe diventata la moglie di Sylvian. All'epoca era ancora una collaboratrice di Prince (sia come poetessa che come autrice e fotografa) ed era famosa più che altro come co-autrice con Lenny Kravitz del brano "Justify My Love", portato al successo nel 1990 da Madonna (Kravitz aveva musicato una poesia della Chavez).
Il brano contiene all'inizio e alla fine il campionamento della voce di John Cage che legge "Mureau", estratto del libro "M: Writings '67-'72" del 1973.
N.B. : la canzone e la musica appartengono a coloro che ne detengono i diritti. Pubblico questo video senza scopo di lucro.

HEARTBEAT (TAINAI KAIKI II) RETURNING TO THE WOMB

I see the lines in the palm of its hand now
I listen hard but no words spring to mind
And it sounds so sweet, listen to its heartbeat
And I'm drowning in its sea
Falling at its feet
Listen to my heartbeat baby

And the blood sail leaves tonight
Fated in its blindness
And it won't be long before help is at hand
And the darkness sleeps
Cushioning the heartbeat
And I killed the captain, sank the fleet
To liberate the heartbeat baby
And it sounds so sweet
And it sounds so sweet
Listen to our hearts beat

And the darkness sleeps
Cushioning the heartbeat
And I'm drowning in its sea
Falling at its feet
Listen to my heartbeat baby

It speaks to ghosts and souls alike
Springs to life, and doesn't think twice
Wrapped in the blood sail
Bathed in snow
Nailed to the source and it won't let go
Fed on the bible, grown from trees
It opened the mind and the heart was free
A home in the silence, safe from sound
Where trouble sleeps and the light is found

It speaks to ghosts and souls alike
Springs to life, and doesn't think twice
Wrapped in the blood sail
Bathed in snow
Nailed to the source and it won't let go
Fed on the bible, grown from trees
It opened the mind and the heart was free
A home in the silence, safe from sound
Where trouble sleeps and the light is found

Listen to my heartbeat
It won't be long
(Tainai Kaiki)
It won't be long
(Tainai Kaiki)
It won't be long
(Tainai Kaiki)
It won't be long
(Tainai Kaiki)

It speaks to ghosts and souls alike
Springs to life, and doesn't think twice
Wrapped in the blood sail
Bathed in snow
Nailed to the source and it won't let go

Listen to my heartbeat
'cause it won't be long
And it sounds so sweet
Listen to my heart
