Unison
That’s the only song I thought was a bit too self-indulgent. I’m moaning a bit in that song...I guess it’s about when I was doing the film music ( Dancer In The Dark ) . You write a song for them and they hear it and say, ’Can you cut out 41 bars ? Er, no. I was excited, I felt ready to be very collaborative, but I wrote that in the middle of the film when i was tired of changing my tracks because some Danish person ( Von Trier ) thought something. But I’m taking a piss out of myself too. That line , "I’ve thrive best hermit style, like a beard and a pipe". It’s like ; "C’mon, communicate, collaborate, get a life." I speak out if I don’t like something. I’ll say it y’know ? But that’s OK when people collaborate.
