"Cocoon" was the third and final single from singer Björk's album Vespertine. It was written by Björk and Thomas Knak, and mixed by Mark "Spike" Stent. The song is a low-key musing about a girl basking in the glow of a romance that has taken her by surprise, and includes some remarkably sexually explicit situations described in euphemism and metaphor.

[edit] Music video

The music video was nearly as controversial as the previous one for "Pagan Poetry". The "Cocoon" video was directed by Eiko Ishioka. It shows an apparently naked Björk (actually wearing a very close fitting body suit) with red thread coming out of her nipples and eventually developing a cocoon around her. Like the video for "Pagan Poetry", it was banned from MTV. The single peaked at number 35 on the UK Singles Chart.
