about

Step into the hauntingly beautiful world of Mel·lif·lu·ous with her latest track, "Found Words". This track was born during an artist residency in the remote town of Skagaströnd, Iceland, where she woke up each day to the breathtaking sight of the Spákonufell mountain. Crafted in the icy confines of an old fish factory, the single reflects the solitude and grandeur of the Icelandic landscapes.

During my residency, I often stayed at the studio late. One night, Dylan and Anne came in too.

We were waiting to see the Northern lights, but it was too cloudy. So instead, we turned out the lights, and I played for them.

It’s strange to play songs that are not quite finished and perfect. They sat on the couches in the freezer as the snow fell outside. It was so lovely, and because they both understood the creative process, it was easy to repeat sections that were not quite right. The beauty was in the imperfection and that I could share with them (even though it WAS uncomfortable).

After I played one of the songs, Anne told me she found a poem in one of the snow drifts near the studio. She didn’t want to remove it, but she took a picture and sent it to me. Then, I wrote this song.

Special thanks to NES Artist Residency (neslist.is) for their generous support in providing access to their captivating town of Skagaströnd in Iceland and its inspiring creative spaces.

Additionally, heartfelt thanks go out to all the talented artists who participated in the interviews.

lyrics

Be Patient
Be Silent
Do not speak
You’ve said
Enough Already
Don’t you think

It’s OK to stop
While the world turns
It’s OK to breathe

You’re probably
Wong about
Alot of things

And that’s alright
Now you have peace
The peace is in silence

It’s OK to stop
While the world turns
It’s OK to breathe
