I've always found it fascinating that in That Unwanted Animal, Madeleine sings "can't you hear that scratching/I ask your eyes?" I also love how digital art means I can make new art and scribble writing all over something without losing the original art.

And when that fox howls I'll howl with it, in its cries I'll find an end

And when I think I'm fine you'll visit, and then you'll happen to me, happen to me all over again

When that fox howls I'll howl with it/in its cries I'll find an end

And a fox somewhere is hiding/that light I thought was blinding brought me here

And on the banks of that river/I shiver as a fox stands frozen/and I close them, I close them, I close my eyes
