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.
Zach Condon
I'm writing songs about New York. A lot of them carry the names of neighborhoods in Long Island. Maspeth, Montauk. I'm getting into the idea of a F. Scott Fitzgerald-esque Long Island back when New York was...New York.

The greatest thing about my house was that I was in the far end of it and I could make as much noise as I wanted. By the time I moved out, I had a full-sized piano, two full-sized organs, bits and pieces of a drum kit, and a whole computer set up for Pro Tools. I had this mattress in between the piano and the organ. That was the only walking room.

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.

As much as I try to grow as a lyricist, I tend to laugh at even calling myself that, because I think that my actual talents lie more in arrangements than they do words.
Zach Condon
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.

I can't be a student. I always hated that lifestyle.

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.
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 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.
Zach Condon
I'm swept along by larger forces out of my control.
Zach Condon
In the age of the mp3, you gotta make the package special, something that's worth owning.
Zach Condon
I want a song that raises the hair on the back of my neck when I sing it live and I want to feel it every time.
Zach Condon
I put myself in the studio and I really made sure to say, 'Well, if I would normally reach for a trumpet, why don't I reach for the next nearest instrument instead?'
Zach Condon
When a city is unstimulating, you get pretty isolated.
Zach Condon
I like to think that location, travel, etc, is a launching point for purely imagining.
Zach Condon
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
I feel like I've met most people I look up to musically. I just want to meet Chef.
Zach Condon
I think it's become much harder because I'm more afraid of every step I take. I'm more aware of its ramifications, I'm more aware of the less creative aspects of music - like the business-side of things for example.
Zach Condon
I was always looking outside of myself for stories and ideas and influences and then I kind of realized in 2010, that all of this time, I've developed a sound. And I've never fully explored it.
