Written and produced by Björk and Thomas Knak, it was released as the album's third single on 11 March 2002 by One Little Indian Records.

The song experienced moderate commercial success on record charts in the United Kingdom, Australia, and France but reached the top ten in Spain.

Pagan Poetry
"Pagan Poetry" is a song recorded by Icelandic singer Björk for her fourth studio album ''Vespertine'' (2001). It was released as the second single from the album on 5 November 2001, by One Little Indian Records. A moderate commercial success, the single peaked at number 38 in the United Kingdom and number 15 in Canada. Writing and recording Björk had always wanted to work with music boxes, but was waiting for the right occasion. Until then, she had been collecting them and wanted to write her own songs in them. According to her, the music box company were not very excited in the beginning. "They'd made wooden boxes for eons and I wanted see-through plexiglass. They couldn't get their head round it - they were like 'Why?' They wanted to make the plonky sound softer with wood but I wanted it as hard as possible, like it was frozen. In the end, they said it was the best thing they'd ever done". Björk then featured the music box into the song's composition. The song is written ...

Hidden Place
"Hidden Place" is a song recorded by Icelandic singer Björk for her fourth studio album ''Vespertine'' (2001). Written and produced by Björk herself, "Hidden Place" was released as the lead single from ''Vespertine'' on 30 July 2001 by One Little Indian Records. Background In 2000, while Björk worked on the film ''Dancer in the Dark'', she also began producing her next album, writing new music and teaming with new collaborators; she has said "'' Selmasongs'' was the day job and ''Vespertine'' was the hobby". Her new relationship with artist Matthew Barney and the tension while filming ''Dancer in the Dark'' have been referred to as the two major forces that shaped what would become ''Vespertine''. As the process of filming demanded her to be extroverted, the new music she was creating became hushed and tranquil as a way to escape. Björk commissioned Valgeir Sigurðsson to relocate some of his studio equipment from Iceland to Denmark, where ''Dancer in the Dark'' was being f ...

Alarm Call
In animal communication, an alarm signal is an antipredator adaptation in the form of signals emitted by social animals in response to danger. Many primates and birds have elaborate alarm calls for warning conspecifics of approaching predators. For example, the alarm call of the blackbird is a familiar sound in many gardens. Other animals, like fish and insects, may use non-auditory signals, such as chemical messages. Visual signs such as the white tail flashes of many deer have been suggested as alarm signals; they are less likely to be received by conspecifics, so have tended to be treated as a signal to the predator instead. Different calls may be used for predators on the ground or from the air. Often, the animals can tell which member of the group is making the call, so that they can disregard those of little reliability. Evidently, alarm signals promote survival by allowing the receivers of the alarm to escape from the source of peril; this can evolve by kin selection, ...
