about

Step into the hauntingly beautiful world of Mel·lif·lu·ous with her latest track, "You Left and Now I'm Thinking"" This track was born during an artist residency in the remote town of Skagatrönd, 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.

One morning, a group of us were talking about the birds that fly in swarms outside the fish factory and how they look like shoals of fish.

Anne mentioned a friend who had given her a necklace with a fish and how she thinks of her friend every time she sees fish. And now, when she looks at those swarms of fish-like birds, she’s also reminded of that friend.

A few days after that conversation, Anne handed me a poem. It’s a vulnerable thing to give someone a poem. Turning that poem into a song and handing it back is also vulnerable.

But I did, and it’s so beautiful.

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

lyrics

I’m thinking you’re a fish
Silver like the fish you gave me
on a silver chain

I’m thinking birds are fish too
Silver like the fish you gave me
on a silver chain

Swimming across the silver sky
Swimming across the silver sky
on a silver chain
Silver winged
on a silver chain


Main Solo (as written) and we will add harmonies

I’m thinking you’re a fish
Silver like the fish you gave me
or a silver bird with fins
Swimming in the silver sky

On a silver chain
On a silver chain
