kathryn’s favorite björk song is literally the one she sent to aubrey while working on agatha and rio’s relationship… someone hand me a tissue immediately!

Björk's description of the Stonemilker

It’s about someone who’s trying to get emotions out of another person. The whole song is emotionally about wanting clarity, wanting simplicity, and talking to someone who wants things to be really complex and foggy and unclear. And you saying, ok, I’ve got clarity: want it or not? So it’s sort of celebrating simplicity and clarity... I was walking on a beach and I was walking back and forth and the lyrics came along without me really editing them. The strength of this album is really simplicity and the thinking out loud feeling. And I shouldn’t be too clever. It would work against it. So, I kind of just went with the first words that came… [they’re] probably the most obvious lyrics I’ve ever written. It was very important that the strings were cyclical, this chord cycle that gives you this feeling it can go on and on in circles. It gives you this feeling of equilibrium, like the person who’s singing the song is showing some sort of harmony to someone as an example... It’s trying, in the most harmonious way possible, to prove a point [laughs]. Because I think staying emotionally open, it’s a choice. I think it’s equally hard for all of us, and we’re just all doing our best, but there’s also a choice: Do you want to try, and maybe fail... or is it your choice to not even try?

Who is open? And who has shut up And if one feels closed How does one stay open?

We have emotional needs, oh needs, oh needs, oh ooh I only wish to synchronize our feelings, our feelings, ooh I'll show some emotional respect, oh respect, oh ooh
