- ↑ Hiatus Kaiyote Talks Growing Global Buzz | Life + Times , accessed August 1, 2015: "Well basically,“ Kaiyote ”is not a word. It's a made up word, but it kind of sounds like peyote and coyote - it's a word that involved the listeners creativity as to how they perceive it. So it reminds you of things but it's nothing specific. When I looked it up on online it was like a bird appreciation society around the world, so for me that was a great omen, because I'm a bird lady. A hiatus is essentially a pause, it's a moment in time. So, to me, a hiatus is taking a pause in your life to take in your surroundings, have a full panoramic view of your experiences and absorbing, and “kaiyote” is expressing them in a way involves the listeners creativity. It's a duality with out music, as well. We don't like to spell it out because if you can vaguely portray something, then it's more likely that a broader variety of people can relate to it because they can find their own way in. "
