Feist's Solitary Road to New Album "Metals"

“I feel like I’m on this solitary lifelong path,” she [Feist] said. “No matter who weaves in and out of your life, regardless of the quality of those deep friendships and familyships, I’m the only common denominator at this point who’s been with me the whole time. And there’s this sense of trying to make sense of that ultimate solitude. It’s not a negative or even a positive. It’s just a fact.”

“If you spend your entire life doing something, you should come up with resonating things that you know to be true,” Feist said. “You can just sing a ditty and not feel it. But when you feel a song, and you wrote it from a place that was honest — or was as honest as you were able to be at that moment — it keeps refreshing you.”
