And planting lilacs and buttercups”

"Mushaboom"
Let It Die (2004)
Kontekst: 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.”

Interview with Seth Berkman in Stylus (20 December 2005) http://www.stylusmagazine.com/feature.php?ID=2047
Kontekst: On tour I'm so invisible to myself, it's just one task after another.
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?

“Don't you wish that we could forget that kiss
And see this for what it is
That we're not in love”

“Because there's just so much in a day now, I keep writing in much more abstract terms, like I don't try to write about what happened anymore. It would be impossible.”

“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

“I'm a stem now
Pushing the drought aside
Opening up
Fanning my yellow eye
On the ferry
That's making the waves wave
Illumination
This is how my heart behaves.”
