Por lo que leo en cuanto a las letras, Vespertine y Vulnicura son la cara y la cruz de su relación con Matthew como me imaginaba. Pero las letras no son en plan ay pobre de mí, ¿no? No me parece propio de ella. Hace muchos años de esto (le preguntaban por So Broken) pero supongo que sigue pensando igual:
"I would always write songs about happy things and keep my dirty laundry to myself. I was brought up so self-sufficient and happy and to never complain. Icelandic people are so furiously optimistic that it's aggressive. So for me to write songs that are not happy is a bit abhorrent. You feel ashamed about it. The first unhappy song I wrote was 'Possibly Maybe.' That was very hard for me. Usually I write all the time, but that was like nothing happened for months. Then the song came out. I was ashamed writing a song that was not giving hope."
