Himself Snaith He explained, in a statement, the reason for this collaboration: “People always ask what the difference is between the music of Caribou and that of Daphniand how do I decide which is which. I think there have been times when the music I make under both aliases has been more separate, and times when they have been closer. Something that has always distinguished them is that I have never sung in a song Daphni. When I started “Waiting So Long,” it was initially instrumental. The lyrics and melody came to me while I was working on it and I recorded it without thinking too much about it. When I listened to it again a few days later, it was the first time I had the feeling that a song belonged to both aliases. On a practical level, I just felt like this was a song that fans of both might want to hear.”
