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 said I'd stop for a year, which was inconceivable to me and everyone around me. It seemed like so long. But then, after that year, I looked up and I still hadn't gotten my land legs back at all.

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
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
You realize time isn't just a period that you tell a story within - it becomes a major character in the film. There is no beginning, middle, end because there is always stuff beginning and ending simultaneously.

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
Songwriting is a really fortunate skill to have to frame living and to find new ways to observe things you're going through.
Feist
I was grateful to be away from all that familiarity, to have a chance to do something anonymously.
Feist
Probably, on some subconscious level, I was motivated by not wanting to spoon-feed any similar flavors.
Feist
I don't think that village idea of actually knowing what you're contributing to the whole exists anymore.
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
There are certain parts of chords that resolve things and tie a bow, and others that keep things open and unanswered.
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
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
I haven't been living anywhere because I've been on tour for the past two years.
Feist
Well, there's just some universal truths in a way that I've just observed to be true. You read Voltaire. You read modern literature. Anywhere you go, there's these observations about romantic love and what it does people, and these rotten feelings that rarely are people meaning to do that to each other.
