Feist
Everything becomes closer once you realize that the world is only as far away as a nap and a meal.
Feist
When I'm in a city that's just clean, concrete lines, I get really short of breath and confused. It's much more interesting to me when nature is creeping back and tearing the mortar apart between the bricks.
Feist
Songwriting is a really fortunate skill to have to frame living and to find new ways to observe things you're going through.
Feist
If you keep bashing your head against the same wall, at some point you're going to fall over and be still for awhile.
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 was grateful to be away from all that familiarity, to have a chance to do something anonymously.
Feist
I've always been a bit wary of keyboards because there's an invisibility to it - you're not really hitting anything.
Feist
You hit a guitar, you hit a note, you hit a drum, you hit an organ. Meat and potatoes. Simplicity. Not getting too caught up in little tweezers of perfection.
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
There's something about live recordings now that's too hi-fi.
