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 in a crazy, private, awesome bubble again, and that's when I started to write.
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 guess there are a lot of people out there that think they're supposed to define themselves in isolation, but that's not necessarily the case.
Feist
I never really lived outside of the city growing up, but I'm always looking in between the lines of the city, and I magnetize over to the green spots.
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
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.

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.

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
There are certain parts of chords that resolve things and tie a bow, and others that keep things open and unanswered.
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
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
There's something about live recordings now that's too hi-fi.
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.

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
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
I haven't been living anywhere because I've been on tour for the past two years.
Feist
It may be years until the day My dreams will match up with my pay.

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.
