Quote

I just reached the point where I realised, I need to stop repeating myself if I'm ever actually going to enjoy the music I'm creating.

I feel like I've met most people I look up to musically. I just want to meet Chef.

I think, if I had my choice, I would spend all my time in the studio writing, and creating music.

I tend to hear rhythm and melody, chord-progressions, long before I hear words.

I tried to go to community college for a while, and it's a funny story. I walked into the English class on the first day, and they told us to write about what we did over the summer. I can't remember exactly, but I think I walked out exactly at that point and went to the office to ask for my money back.

I love the community and the entertainment too much. I'm used to it - it's what I saw first.

As a teenager and a young adult, I never felt like my own story was interesting enough to tell, so I always wrote lyrics from someone else's perspective - told someone else's story.

I dropped out of high school and I tried to go to community college for a little while. I can't be a student. I always hated that lifestyle.

I try to shut my brain down as much as possible. And let the melodies flow, if possible.

I think that there's a proliferation of music that is done entirely in the bedroom for an Internet audience, but there's no way in hell that you could actually kill off a live show, and its importance in the creation of music - it's just impossible.

It's a weird thing to be nineteen and be in the public eye. It was a crazy thing, it was a big deal to me, and it changed me in a lot of ways. And now that it's five, six years later, I wanted to look back at that, the start of it all, the excitement and the naïveté about it, and it just fascinated me to reflect on all that.

I do feel like my music, in some weird way, is probably better suited for cinema than for anything else - I can't really explain, other than I think that music has been mostly inspired often by soundtracks.
Zach Condon
Image
I have tried to write soundtracks, and the main problem with those was that the directors often had in their minds a much stronger sense of what they wanted to hear, than what I was willing to give them, and I guess there was no way to say, Well why don't you write your scene around my music? Because that's just cocky and awful.

My thought with harmonies and melodies in general, is that if it doesn't come right away then it's never going to come at all.

I could probably spend the next five years reworking an album from ten years ago, if given the chance, to make it better - make it best, so to speak.

I fell off a bridge when I was 14, then had surgery when I was 17. Now my left wrist is an inch-and-a-half shorter than my [right one] and doesn't quite have the mobility to wrap around a guitar neck without a bit of pain.

It's a little cheeky growing up in Santa Fe was kind of a weird experience, because it's such a touristy town. So sometimes it feels a little like you're in a town that's just on display. You walk around downtown and all the shops are galleries or high end boutiques, so it can feel like you don't belong there even though you are from there.

I can't work in Brooklyn. Unless I'm completely locked away in a studio, there's just too much distraction and stimulation.

My dad is obsessed with music, so I was raised around this guitar player that really wanted me to be a guitar player.

You always know when a real inspiration is behind the melody, arrangements, even lyrics. And I know that's really vague, but it's true.
