art thinking people
People who create art would be fools to assume they know exactly what people are going to think of it.
people listening magazines
Sometimes people talk about music, whether blogs or magazines, in a strange way where it doesn't seem like they're actually listening to it.
people come-up interpretation
I like to hear what other people's interpretations are, because people come up with things I'd never thought about.
beach people house
With us, people caught on to something on our third album, and that will never be repeated. Basically, I don't really have any complaints about the way that Beach House has grown. I feel like we're still in control of what we're doing, and it's a great time in our existence.
fashion people insane
I like to find the beauty in the ugly. When I'm in a thrift store, I gravitate toward pieces I know I'll wear a ton, and insane pieces that I'm sure most people would consider gross. But I find them inspiring. Our van is currently stocked with some of my random findings from this tour. Maybe I'll call my aesthetic 'van fashion.
play sound unruly
Sound is a very unruly thing, and you have to really respect that it's going to differ every time you play.
stupid believe mean
I truly believe that if you think something's stupid, that might mean it's actually good.
thinking sometimes mask
I think sometimes songwriting becomes diluted when you have lots of components to mask a lack of core.
struggle sound brilliant
It's always a struggle to make things sound more or less brilliant.
perspective identity world
When something goes into the world, you immediately begin to develop another perspective on yourself, another identity.
crazy thinking quality
I think the Yamaha has a giant quality. When you combine the Yamaha with other organs, you get this crazy rectangular sound. It's kind of flat and thick.
makeup piano said
There's something to be said for being classically trained on piano, but not having your whole makeup be tied to one instrument.
thinking sweat hot
But I love the hot sweat. I think overheating onstage is invigorating. It's better than being comfortable. I think being comfortable is the death of a show.
depressing forever lasts
As you get older you realise that nothing lasts forever. It's not depressing, but it does make moments more intense.
