“I don't remember things initially when listening to music. Like, I don't remember where I first heard a song, I don't have nostalgic attachment to a song in that it reminds me of such and such a time or place. I think I probably did experience that somewhat when I was not a full-time, professional musician, but I don't think music works that way for people who are in it constantly.” PeopleThinkingWayFirstsRememberSongHeardListeningMusicianAttachmentListening To MusicNostalgic Author:Stephin Merritt

It's post-production that's being done by the musician at the time.” DoneQualityMusicianProductionsPostsEngineeringBeing DonePost Production Author:Stephin Merritt
“I can imagine lyrics becoming better written by smart machines rather than stupid musicians. Songwriters generally have nothing to say. They may as well be replaced by machines.” ImagineStupidMusicianSmartReplaced Author:Stephin Merritt
