More quotes by 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
Everything becomes closer once you realize that the world is only as far away as a nap and a meal.
Feist
There's something about live recordings now that's too hi-fi.
Feist
I find it pretty fascinating how humans keep gravitating towards these giant centers. I went to this walled medieval village in France this year, and it was truly the most crazy, beautiful, bizarre place I've ever been.
Feist
But that constant adjustment and adaptation to your new environment, all the variables are the same. There's always a promoter, there's always a rider, there's always a shower, and there's always a stage.
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 think I prefer the constant renewal. It's almost like sandpapering down any details or any contour of familiarities.
Feist
Because there's just so much in a day now, I keep writing in much more abstract terms, like I don't try to write about what happened anymore. It would be impossible.
Feist
With music, I wasn't curious anymore. There was no dialogue. By the time I stopped, I knew it wasn't going to be gone forever, but it just wasn't the right time for me to care about that.
Feist
There are certain parts of chords that resolve things and tie a bow, and others that keep things open and unanswered.
Feist
There's real potency in metal. Metal fans love metal as if it's a nation they would fight for. It's not diluted by pop culture.
Feist
It may be years until the day My dreams will match up with my pay.
Feist
I'd hear some beautiful Sade or Kings Of Convenience ballad remixed in a club and I liked that these simple little songs seemed to be masquerading. They had put on superhero costumes, got all beefy, and here they were on the dancefloor. I was interested in that. I can't make electronic beats, so I leave it to the pros like Boys Noize and Chromeo.
Feist
You just never set roots you take pleasure in simple conversations, because you know you're not going to have much more than that. It's very isolating, and that can be a good thing.
Feist
If you calculate every single thing you could possibly need in your life, you would need no more than 200 people to keep all that afloat: a doctor, food, wine, cheese-eating friends, the person who makes paper, the shoemaker.
Feist
I was in a crazy, private, awesome bubble again, and that's when I started to write.
Feist
Probably, on some subconscious level, I was motivated by not wanting to spoon-feed any similar flavors.
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
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
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.
