Quote of the Day (Feist, on the ‘Quiet Little Line’ Between Writing Music and Listening to It)

“I always think about how I'm in my room alone writing it, and eventually most people listen to music alone. So there's actually a quiet little direct line between writing and listening. It's a strange bubble of solitude, because you're linked, but you don't know each other, yet you're communicating.''—Canadian singer-songwriter Feist in Jon Pareles, “The Bounty of Solitude,” The New York Times, Sept. 18, 2011

Song Lyric of the Day (Feist, on ‘Old Teenage Hopes’)

“Old teenage hopes

Are alive at your door

Left you with nothing

But they want some more.”—Feist, “1234,” composed by Sally Seltmann and Feist, from Feist's CD The Reminder (2007)
