If I can occasionally be someone’s spark I’m happy with that.

Every day that I get to spend with you is a day that makes me happy :)

Same for me. You make my days far happier lately. All of my twitter friends do, but you’ve gone above and beyond”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2j2vszpv4ni2zsduxbe7d72l/bafkreiathjd65rlskdktaa2xzq4br36duukz2mapvdw5xtizgykvhartgm)
![An excerpt from the Vespertine Wikipedia page that reads:
“The eventual title change of the record reveals its changing nature. Writer and critic Mark Pytlik notes that, "where [Domestika] signified a focus of extracting magic from the platitudes of everyday life, [Vespertine] [...] suggested a creation of magic through much more powerful forces. In fine style, Björk had set out to write an album about making sandwiches. She'd ended up with an album about making love". A stylistic antecedent was her poem "Techno Prayer", published in Details magazine in July 1996, which would later be used as part of the lyrics of "All Neon Like". It featured thematic ideas such as cocooning and thread-weaving that she would later explore on Vespertine.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2j2vszpv4ni2zsduxbe7d72l/bafkreigbybonlqd6v6vu2qj4rthartst56pegwo7jbja63l5f4ut7y6knm)
