Fun facts
Model is a song that touches on the theme of how things are represented. It speaks about how a model is not just an image, but a way of understanding something. The idea comes from the plans of a building, which in the 16th century were called models. From there it passed through France and Italy until it reached Latin, where it means 'measure'. The song asks if what is shown is the same as what is inside.
