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.

More quotes by Zach Condon
When I came back to America, I realized that world music is no joke, it really has a lot to it.
Zach Condon
I think that within the world of music that we work in, which is so not perfect, I think that you really do have to learn to accept your own mistakes as part of the beauty of music itself.
Zach Condon
My dad is obsessed with music, so I was raised around this guitar player that really wanted me to be a guitar player.
Zach Condon
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.
Zach Condon
In some ways, I feel like I've been such a dilettante for so many years, just picking up instruments and stretching myself so thin.
Zach Condon
I think, if I had my choice, I would spend all my time in the studio writing, and creating music.
Zach Condon
Often when I find myself listening to music, at least 60 to 70% of it is foreign, so I don't understand a word of it. Melody to me will always be a million times more important than words.
Zach Condon
I try to shut my brain down as much as possible. And let the melodies flow, if possible.
Zach Condon
I love the community and the entertainment too much. I'm used to it - it's what I saw first.
Zach Condon
I'm very flash and burn - the first thing that comes to mind is obviously the best idea, and that's because it should come out of a natural place, and if you don't do that then you're writing someone else's music, not your own.
Zach Condon
I'm swept along by larger forces out of my control.
Zach Condon
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.
Zach Condon
I tend to hear rhythm and melody, chord-progressions, long before I hear words.
Zach Condon
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.
Zach Condon
I spent my entire life working with the smallest budget I could get. Just working with old, junky, donated equipment. The only things I bought myself were the trumpet and the $9 ukulele.
Zach Condon
You can never not feel like that, as a working artist these days. It's funny - time off makes me nervous, but so does time on. At least the pressure wasn't coming from outside.
Zach Condon
There is a beauty to touring - to be honest, there's a way that music connects and you really feel the actual reaction of people to the music that you're making, and I feel like if I didn't do that I just wouldn't know, and I don't think my music would be the same.
Zach Condon
It was funny to just take a backseat and be like, 'Wow, I might be in this crazy place, but maybe I don't need to understand everything, maybe I don't need to be someone else.'
Zach Condon
It feels much more natural to move forward and grow with the instruments I've grown accustomed to. Piano, accordion, brass, ukulele.
Zach Condon
I write one step at a time, always finishing off the part I'm working on before even thinking about the next part. I need to hear it all together before deciding what goes next. I even mix before moving on...in other words, I write by recording.
