"Pleasure Is All Mine" as written by and Bjork Gudmundsdottir....
The pleasure is all mine
To get to be the generous one
Is the strongest stance
The pleasure is all mine
To finally let go and evenly
Be flown
Who gives most
Who gives most
Who gives most
The pleasure is all mine
Women like us
We strengthen most host-like
When in doubt, give
When in doubt, give
When in doubt, give
To get to be the generous one
Is the strongest stance
The pleasure is all mine
To finally let go and evenly
Be flown
Who gives most
Who gives most
Who gives most
The pleasure is all mine
Women like us
We strengthen most host-like
When in doubt, give
When in doubt, give
When in doubt, give

and it fits in perfectly to me in this album, because the practice is so...basic...i love it...this album gets down to the core of music. to it's roots. to the roots of humanity...using the oldest instruments on earth, the voice. which makes perfect sense, seeing how the album is called Medulla...being the innermost part of an organ or animal.
this album is amaaazzzingly put together. bjork did a wonderful job. and i think this song is the perfect opening to it. so beautiful, the way the voices unfold in the song, it's like a flower opening up... or like water flowing, it's so pure and crisp...
one of her best lines. love it.
i always get quite a sexual vibe from this song, like a pleasure being returned- 'who gives most'. i guess that fits in with the child birth thing, seeing as birth follows sex etc. the 'women like us we strengthen most host-like' has the kind of mothering connotations, as if the baby is a host of your body.
a truly beautiful song, and album
I though so too, but now I guess I should think once more ;) maybe it's really about birth.
I own Medulla, great album, yeah
"The strongest stance" part refers to the idea that there's a submissive partner and one who's in control, who sets the pace and decides when and what to "give" or play "host."
The song as a whole, though, serves as a metaphor for giving, the connection being that giving ultimately benefits, even exhilirates, both the giver and the receiver.
