On most of my albums there has been one mythical song, [a] kinda literature based thing. And I have usually asked my friend poet/author Sjón to help me with the lyrics on that one. To make it epic. For me there is continuity from "Human Behaviour" — "Isobel" — "Bachelorette" — "Oceania" — "Wanderlust." I guess it is slightly autobiographical but times one hundred. A heightened mythical state. Which I believe we all have ... it just depends from what angle we look at ourselves from...
