Mike Taylor swears the story is true. And the story gave Laxá the title for this song. The band were playing a show at a dive bar on Ingólfsstræti and took a break. Keyboard player Mike went outside to cool down and get a few moments peace between sets. Behind the venue was an alley near the stage door and he sat on the steps looking up at the clear night sky.

As he did he noticed a slight movement to his right, a shadow cast on a wall, as he turned his gaze towards it the shadow stopped and froze in place. Looking for the source of the shadow, thinking someone else was in the alley, Mike realized he was alone and as he glanced back, the shadow remained frozen but from its mouth, it's chill breath cast along the wall.

The hairs on Mike's neck stood up and he froze momentarily before, taking one last look at the disembodied shadow, he rushed back inside to finish the show.
