Context welcomes Atla Ingólfsson on Friday, November 7. During the lecture, Atli gives various reflections on lyrics to songs and popular songs, what to avoid, what to totally avoid and what should above all, unconditionally, be avoided The lecture is in the form of grumbling, but there is a long tradition that men like him grumble about pop song lyrics. However, this is only a grumble in form to do: The intention is primarily to give useful advice on lyric writing.

Atli Ingólfsson has always been involved in writing quite a bit in loose and bound language At a young age he published a book of poems, wrote or translated several texts and is now about to publish a book with poetry translations. He has written about Icelandic melodology in the magazines Skírni og Són and is working on an article about poetic spelling in Icelandic music. He has translated a number of texts by the French singer-songwriter Jacques Brel and performed them in the guise of Baldvins Orwes.
