a small nation resembles a big family and likes to describe itself that way. In the language of the smallest European people, in Icelandic, the term for "family" is fjölskylda; the etymology is eloquent: skylda means "obligation"; fjöl means "multiple."

Thus in the big family that is a small country, the artist is bound in multiple ways, by multiple cords.
