5ème single de Volta
Morceau en duo avec Anohni
Paroles tirées d’un poème de Fyodor Tyutchev (1803-1873), telles qu’elles figurent dans le film Stalker d’Andreï Tarkovski (1979).
« Other new songs have their own convoluted stories. Björk visited Jamaica with Antony Hegarty, the brooding-voiced lead singer of Antony and the Johnsons, to record a lovers’ duet with lyrics from a poem by Fyodor Tyutchev, The Dull Flame of Desire. They sang together, improvising back and forth, for a full day ; then Björk edited their duet into a smoldering seven-minute drama, worked up a brass arrangement and decided to set the whole thing to an electronic beat. » The New York Times
