    I went to Reykjavik without knowing Olafur would be there, I was outside this building looking at the lake when Olafur appeared. He said to me "If you had come earlier 1hour I would had invited you in, we just recorded the last song for Island songs". Bad luck I guess :/, but he's such a great guy. Beautiful song as usual...Don't ever stop doing music please. Cheers from Portugal.
