Justin Vernon quotes about
understanding trying littles
I've been trying to catch up to it. Just trying to get with it, feel behind it a little bit, but that's good actually, probably. That way, I'm still sort of understanding it.
wall writing thinking
I want to be able to write on my walls. I think that's the big thing.
wall rip simple
I don't know, it's dorky. Just like quotes and stuff. Something I want to see everyday or something I want to be there. I don't know. I can put a hole in the wall if I want. It's mine. It's very simple. It's a very tiny house, but I can do whatever I want to. I can rip up the terrible vinyl floor and recycle it. Just create a good space. A quiet place to be.
rocks people feelings
More and more into natural feelings rather than convoluted feelings or tastemaking or what have you. You always need critique, rock critics, but you can't take away people's taste. People are starting to, very slowly, do their own thing.
rocks indie-rock independence
Even the indie rock world - which is supposed to be about truth and independence from corporate mindfulness or something - is totally subject to the paraphernalia of celebrity.
loving-you dangerous love-someone
There's that whole thing that happens in relationships - you can love someone but, as soon as they stop loving you so unconditionally that they stop being themselves, it can be so dangerous.
dangerous cornered
It's dangerous when music gets cornered by anything.
hands trying hey
I'm trying to be like, "Hey, dude, you're super happy, this is everything you've ever dreamed of - if you don't have somebody to hold hands with right now, everything's going to be OK, bro."
self able should
You should be able to have happiness. If you don't have that, then you're not really bringing your whole self to the relationship.
together saws sound
With all the touring and distractions going on, I would get a sound together but I wouldn't have time to work on it. So I sat on the road with the sketches and saw how they revealed themselves emotionally.
scene evolve comfortable
You never have to change your scene because you're always comfortable with evolving.
insane west fans
As a fan of Kanye West, working with him is insane.
names people atmosphere
A lot of people change their band names because they're looking for a change of atmosphere.
opportunity looks scared
You never have to be scared to look to the future for opportunity.
