I live and die by puns Picture Quote #1

There’s something about live recordings now that’s too hi-fi Picture Quote #1

I remember doing my mosaics or being in my little hiding place behind the couch snooping. I’d get bored sometimes, of course, but I think that’s good for a kid, because it forces you to be creative Picture Quote #1

When I did 1,2,3,4’ on ‘Sesame Street’ they’d rewritten the song and made it about counting. At first, I balked. I was like, ‘Counting to four? That’s where we’re going with this?’ Then they sent me appearances by other people like James Blunt doing ‘You’re Beautiful’ as ‘My Triangle.’ Picture Quote #1

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.

No matter who weaves in and out of your life, regardless of the quality of those deep friendships and familyships, I’m the only common denominator at this point who’s been with me the whole time. And there’s this sense of trying to make sense of that ultimate solitude. It’s not a negative or even a positive. It’s just a fact Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

And of course, pop music is all about memorability and simplicity and positive messages and a little dash of joy Picture Quote #1

I’m a Canadian. Outside Canada I carry the flag. Canadian nationalism isn’t as insidious as American nationalism, though. It’s good natured. It’s all about maple syrup, not war Picture Quote #1

I like being swept up in weather and observing it as something beautiful and giant Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

When I was in Beck’s world, I felt like the little sister. I’m in the big brother’s room with all his friends. You just hang out and keep your mouth shut so they don’t realize you’re there and kick you out. I like being in situations where I can be an underdog, where I can be in the corner and observe and soak it in Picture Quote #1

There are certain parts of chords that resolve things and tie a bow, and others that keep things open and unanswered Picture Quote #1

I get really scared about how the Internet is shifting and changing everyone’s minds, and the way we see ourselves and interact online. Everything is so diluted now Picture Quote #1

I was a bar-back, which is the person who cleans the bathrooms at the end of the night in the bar, and a cook. I had kind of given up. I was into backing other people up. Music was something I just did on the side and I don’t think I had the energy to pimp myself out, like call people up and ask them to book me to play Picture Quote #1

After ‘Sesame Street,’ it’s a hyper-familiar world to me and I have this childlike ability to ignore the fact that I’m talking to scraps of cloth. Every country I go to, I see posters promoting the film in different languages. ‘Los Muppets’ - I love that! Picture Quote #1

Gatekeeper’ was sort of my first attempt to put a little bit of a frame and boundaries around songwriting, and try to figure out a way to approach it that had a sort of end result in mind. I haven’t written many like that Picture Quote #1

I made the first Feist album in 98. So at that point, it was my nickname. It was as far as with my circle of friends, and just felt more accurate than two names Picture Quote #1
