A song has a life of its own. It's an autonomous thing, separate from your own experience, almost. And the mere repetition of it means it's subject to change; it means approaching it differently, expressing different emotional aspects of it. It doesn't feel like wallowing.

I love Robert Fripp. You know what I really appreciate about Robert Fripp? He always dresses appropriately for the occasion. When he's on stage, he's a Dapper Dan. St. Vincent appropriatelydandapper Change image and share on social
Generally my day-to-day is pretty much the same. Just busy and working and on tour. And trying to put on the best show possible every night. St. Vincent busydaygenerally Change image and share on social
I remember looking at the sky and thinking that the universe is so big and it's all chaos. I call it 'the dark fear.' At any moment, the dark fear could come in. St. Vincent bigcallchaos Change image and share on social
