Leslie Feist: Citations en anglais

“I'm unpacking the bags and setting up
And planting lilacs and buttercups”

"Mushaboom"
Let It Die (2004)
Contexte: Helping the kids out of their coats
But wait the babies haven't been born
I'm unpacking the bags and setting up
And planting lilacs and buttercups
But in the meantime I've got it hard
Second floor living without a yard.

“Old teenage hopes are alive at your door
Left you with nothing
But they want some more.”

"1 2 3 4" (written with Sally Seltmann)
The Reminder (2007)
Contexte: One Two Three Four
Tell me that you love me more
Sleepless, long nights
That was what my youth was for Old teenage hopes are alive at your door
Left you with nothing
But they want some more.

“On tour I'm so invisible to myself, it's just one task after another.”

Interview with Seth Berkman in Stylus (20 December 2005) http://www.stylusmagazine.com/feature.php?ID=2047

In a way as much as I love reading autobiographies, I'm fascinated with them partially because I would have no sense of how to talk about my own life with any perspective. Like half of what I like about autobiographies isn't what happen in their lives, it's... I'm so curious on how they remember things that happened. Then I think, oh maybe it's not accurate, maybe it's just the way they need to couch an event, they need to remember something that happened 30 years ago as a certain way in the present to make it, you know bearable, and so then half the adventure of reading an autobiography is thinking like, "oh, what does it say about them in the present that they need to think about the past like that," if they sound really altruistic or if they sound really benevolent and kind. Very seldom do you see someone say, "yeah, I was a real asshole," or if they do it's a charming asshole, it's not the mean spirited person, you know?

“Oh, oh, oh
You're changing your heart
Oh, oh, oh
You know who you are.”

"1 2 3 4" (written with Sally Seltmann)
The Reminder (2007)

“The truth lied
And lies divide
Lies divide”

"I Feel It All"
The Reminder (2007)

“One, two, three, four, five, six, nine, and ten
Money can't buy you back the love that you had then.”

"1 2 3 4" (written with Sally Seltmann)
The Reminder (2007)

“By nature of me being the one singing it and writing it there is always an innate bit of autobiography there … but I think I learned years ago that you don't get songs that have that long stride and that pivot-hinge ability if it's too much diary entry.”

As quoted in "Just Feist. Just Wait." by Jon Pareles in The New York Times (15 April 2007) http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/15/arts/music/15pare.html?_r=1&oref=slogin&pagewanted=all
