No matter who weaves in and out of your life, regardless of the quality of those deep friendships and familyships, I'm the only common denominator at this point who's been with me the whole time. And there's this sense of trying to make sense of that ultimate solitude. It's not a negative or even a positive. It's just a fact.

Feist
The group-effort sound in recording of Sea Lion is like, you really hear all the people in the room and hear them interlocking. Theres a real freight-train energy of all these people at the same time playing.
Feist
I know more than I knew before I didn't rest I didn't stop Did we fight or did we talk.
Feist
I haven't been living anywhere because I've been on tour for the past two years.
Feist
I had a guitar leaning against the wall and I'd squint at it. It was almost like a dog that had been kicked - I didn't think I had anything to offer it.
Feist
I don't think that village idea of actually knowing what you're contributing to the whole exists anymore.

So, I'm on Sesame Street, walking around with all these monsters, Elmo and his buddies, a whole bunch of chickens, a whole bunch of penguins and a number four dancing about. It was just pure joy, simple, ridiculous fun, stupid joy. There's no irony. Sesame Street is just a crazy great place to be.
Feist
There are certain parts of chords that resolve things and tie a bow, and others that keep things open and unanswered.
