Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Black Lake. By Songfacts®.

Björk and artist Matthew Barney were in a relationship for over a decade and had a daughter named Isadora together. The centerpiece of Vulnicura, this 10-minute track takes place two months after they broke up in 2013.

Bjork's emotions are still pretty raw and the song finds the vulnerable singer dismissing her former lover. Over subdued electronics and heart rending strings, she releases her fury towards the man who stopped loving her and broke their bond. Björk admitted to Pitchfork looking back at the track in 2015: "I was really embarrassed about that song. I can still hardly listen to it."

At 10 minutes and 9 seconds, this is Björk's longest-ever song.
