Justin Vernon quotes about
falsetto gospel reaction singers
The falsetto stuff, it must be a reaction to the black gospel singers that I really enjoy listening to.
barely home lifestyle
I'm barely at home enough to enjoy the simple lifestyle that I want to live.
magnificent
At once i knew i was not magnificent.
rocks indie-rock worry
Indie rock is just as susceptible - if not more susceptible - to all the gross things about people becoming total ass clowns in music, and only worrying about money and image. I'm not interested in being a part of that.
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.
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.
