“There is a beauty to touring - to be honest, there's a way that music connects and you really feel the actual reaction of people to the music that you're making, and I feel like if I didn't do that I just wouldn't know, and I don't think my music would be the same.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWayFeelsWould BeHonestReactionsBeing HonestTouring Author:Zach Condon
“It's funny because you do often read in recounts of very famous albums, people tend to focus on mistakes in really positive ways, and there's certain mistakes of my own that I always do find on every record that I needed to accept. I find it really interesting to talk about. I always write songs at the wrong tempos, and I have to learn to accept that a little bit.” PeopleWayWritingLittlesCertainSongBitsMy OwnInterestingMistakeAcceptingRecordsFocusNeededLittle BitAlbumsReally InterestingTempoVery FamousReally Positive Author:Zach Condon

“I didn't realize how different our band's senses of melody actually were. I would write a part that just made perfect sense to me, but for them, it was mind-boggling. Likewise, they could play stuff with relative ease that I never could have. If there was something lost in translation melodically, it wouldn't work at all - we'd just be 17 people in a giant room staring awkwardly at each other. When that happened, I'd go home, figure out what was wrong, fix it, and then return to smooth sailing.” PeopleWritingDifferentHomeRealizingPerfectStaringMelodyRelativeSmoothSailingTranslations Author:Zach Condon
