Fagurt er í fjörðum
Fagurt er í fjörðum,
þá frelsarinn gefur veðrið blítt,
heyið grænt í görðum,
grös og heilagfiskið nýtt,

En þegar vetur að oss
fer að sveigja,
veit ég enga verri sveit
um veraldarreit :
menn og dýr þá deyja
menn og dýr þá deyja

If you listen to folk songs from around the world, they actually have very complex lyrics and melodies and I feel like I’m continuing this tradition.

Björk - Elle

When I was deciding the order of the songs on the album, I thought it was important for this song to follow the songs about my mother, sort of as a palette cleanser. It’s a joke as well as a consideration of optimism and pessimism. That was sort of a theme in our relationship, me and my mom, so I thought it was very fitting.
