I don't like the way recording to digital sounds. Most of the time, when I'm recording to two-inch tape, I still have a romantic vision of how songs sounded coming out of the radio when I was younger, and how they sounded coming out of my little four-track cassette player.

I don't really watch TV series because I don't want to get hooked on them and have them suck up all my time. M. Ward hookseriessuck Change image and share on social
I got this Christmas gift with the entire Beatles catalog. I had fun trying to duplicate what I was hearing on these records, only using the instruments I had at hand - an acoustic guitar, and that's all. It was endlessly amusing to me to try to imitate John Lennon and Paul McCartney's harmonies using the guitar. M. Ward acousticamusebeatles share on social

I find that the time that goes by is actually your best friend when you are making a record. The passing of time gives you perspective on what you recorded and what you wrote. If something sounds good to you 12 months after you recorded it then chances are pretty good that there's something valuable about the part or the song. M. Ward chancefindfriend share on social
I've worked with just as many talented women as I have talented men, and I feel fortunate enough to have that great balance. M. Ward balancefeelfortunate Change image and share on social
One of the great things about music is that it has the capability of time travel - you smell a certain smell in the room and it takes you back to your childhood. I feel like music is able to do that, and it happens to me all the time. M. Ward backcapabilitychildhood share on social
I love the idea that I planned my career. I did not. It started out by getting invitations from artists that I really love and respect, to share a stage... I've been very lucky in that I haven't had to create a five-year plan. It's evolved. M. Ward artistcareercreate share on social
It's a luxury to not have to just be performing with other people to have my music heard. M. Ward hearluxurymusic Change image and share on social
I definitely don't see myself as much of a singer, because my upbringing is really based around the guitar, learning chord progressions and that sort of thing. So the singing aspect of what I do has been a secondary adventure. M. Ward adventureaspectbase share on social
