Come to me
I'll take care of you
Protect you
Calm, calm down
You're exhausted
Come lie down
You don't have to explain
I understand

You know
That I adore you
You know
That I love you
So don't make me say it
It would burst the bubble
Break the charm

Jump off
Your building's on fire
And I'll catch you
I'll catch you
Destroy all that is keeping you down
And then I'll nurse you
I'll nurse you
I'll protect you

You know
That I adore you
You know
That I love you
So don't make me say it
It would burst the bubble
Break the charm

This is a true cri de coeur, a passionate and authentic expression of love - lucky the person whom she was addressing it to. She sure does have some lungs as well.

A sound like this belongs on the opening or closing credit track of a James Bond flick. Unless Bjork did that already. 
Not bad, but two or three listens is enough.

If this cut is the MOST tolerable, I'd hate to be held captive and forced to listen to her entire canon.

Lovely. And to think I that at one time I disliked her music so much, and now I'm buying it. All those wasted years.....

Always distinctive, I love her voice and the airy way she presents the lyrics.   She's a little out there, but why not?   She's unique and I love it!

Bjork's newer albums have gotten weirder and less accessible, but I really dig this album and this track especially.  I probably need to pick up the Sugarcubes' compilation album at some point...

I have a strange crush on Bjork. Can't really figure it out...but she's sort of an unexplainable draw to me. Maybe because she doesn't try to be "sexy"...it makes her that way. Not sure....Geeez.

Been a big fan since i saw her at our Art School in the late '80s, when she was in the Sugarcubes - what an energy charged performance. Then saw her solo touring with this album, my goodness....{#Hearteyes}
Again a great mix thank you RP.

Yeah, I'd have to second that.  Great composition - especially like the strings and the percussion.  'Course, she could be singing the descriptions from a Sears catalog for all I know, but I really like the song.

I can't say I'm a big fan of Bjork's, but then, strangely, she's done at least two songs of the most transcendent beauty I can imagine: this one and "All is Full of Love." Come to Me is the music I'd want in my head if I suddenly found myself able to fly. I don't know, it's just a flying groove. And some of the sexiest (but not necessarily sexual) lyrics I know of. This song succeeds on every level, including her voice, which, as we all know, doesn't do it for everyone, myself included. An easy 10.
I feel exactly the same way, except maybe that a few more of her songs get to me.

Bjork's in the same boat as u2 on these boards. People tend to rate them based on their preconceived opinion of the artist ("I hate their politics", or "She's nuts") instead of the song on it's own merit. Ah well. I'm sure I'm guilty of it from time to time...

Gosh folks, her music isn't bad ... her voice is thin and nasal but I'll bet if I said that about at least a dozen male singers who are popular you'd howl. Her looks (Inuit, North American Indian, exotic) have nothing to do with her singing. Her swan outfit was pretty sexy, actually and made me think that perhaps I could be a Certain Bull-Like Creature to her Certain Swan-Like Creature (mythology for the ill-educated). Her politics and public face are something else again, but that still doesn't detract from her music. I give her a six ... she's "OK" not "outstanding, etc.

Well, I kinda like some of Raitt's songs whatsoever. What about you, do you like any music ? What about the hidden 10% that you don't consider crap.

One of her best songs. I also recommend "All Is Full Of Love" if you like this song. That song also comes with one of the greatest music videos I know.

I'll be bachelor #2 on that one, after she sends you off the island (or should I say Iceland). I can see it now. A bunch of pork chops like myself coming to port on a boat dressed like the Gorton's seafood fishermen. Bjork waiting to meet us in an evening gown. Call the Fox network.
