“The title comes from the German concept of the gläserner bürger, the human or glass citizen. It’s actually a legal term about the level of privacy the individual has in a state, and in health it’s become a term about how much we know about a person’s body or biology or history – if they’re completely made of glass we know everything. There’s an increasing sense in this world that you have to make yourself a bit of glass. To be willing to open up, use yourself as material, and not just if you’re an artist or a musician.

I worked with the title from the very beginning to push myself to do new things. I wanted to push myself conceptually from the starting point, to push the glass theme throughout the songs in different ways – in the lyrics, in the instruments – to do things in a very new way. As an album, it feels bigger to me, a lot bigger.”

Agnes Obel has often played new songs during her live performances. She uses to give them funny names until they are later revealed as part of an up-coming album. And the one called "Spinat Song" is no exception. The name itself doesn't let us guess which song it is, but the lyrics do. You will find in the source link, the lyrics of the upcoming Agnes Obel album and you will see that Spinat Song has the same refrain but slightly different chorus.
