Sometimes I feel like the person Björk is singing to in "Stonemilker." I clam up and withdraw when I'm distressed rather than reaching out for support, in part because I have a hard time identifying what I need. I'm working on this, and have been since Björk released Vulnicura over a decade ago, but it's (obviously) a process. In the meantime, one only needs to listen to the rest of Vulnicura to find out how that worked out for Björk and her then-husband. So the stakes feel high and it's scary.

The difference, I guess, is that I am working on this pattern and I do want to change it. From Vulnicura it's clear that the person Björk is addressing doesn't.

Anyway, great song. Beautiful, moving, open-hearted as the lyrics long for.
