More From Will Oldham

Well, led zeppelin iv! that's it really. i'll tell you why the album had no title - because we were so fed up with the reactions to the third album, that people couldn't understand why that record wasn't a direct continuation of the second album. and then people said we were a hype and all, which was the furthest thing from what we were. so we just said, `let's put out an album with no title at all!' that way, either people like it or they don't... but we still got bad reviews!
Hype People Titles
That's what is so great about being able to record a 13-song album. you can do a very eclectic group of songs. you do have some almost pop songs in there, but you do have your traditional country, story songs. you have your ballads, your happy songs, your sad songs, your love songs, and your feisty songs.
Country Song Eclectic Style
I start songs all the time. if i weren't so lazy, i would finish them. it's like when i have a deadline i have to. i always feel very lucky that i am forced to make records at certain times. if i was forced to make 2 records a year, i would write twice as many songs. i can't make myself finish something unless i am forced
Song Writing Years
I can't stress enough how important it is to write bad songs. there's a lot of people who don't want to finish songs because they don't think they're any good. well they're not good enough. write it! i want you to write me the worst songs you could possible write me because you won't write bad songs. you're thinking they're bad so you don't have to finish it. that's what i really think it is. well it's all right. well, how do you know? it's not done!
Song Stress Writing
You're not going to hit it every single time, and that's why, when i record an album, i do probably close to 50 songs. each song i record has to get better. if it's not better than the last song that i made, it'll usually linger for a couple of months, and then it'll be put on the backburner, and then there'll be another song that i do, and then it often doesn't make it on the album.
Song Couple Get Better
You sing songs hundreds of times over and over, but certain ones just morph and naturally, as you age and get life experience, take on a different form as well. when i was looking at songs for the album, i thought, "which are the ones that connect with me the most? what do i think would work in album form?" almost all of them i've done in shows.

Similar Quotes
I never sing a song more than twice because my fear of waning excitement for a piece is part of my troubles. i so rely on vibe, energy and emotions that the technical part occurs to me last.
Song Pieces Lasts
Side by side with the human race there runs another race of beings, the inhuman ones, the race of artists who, goaded by unknown impulses, take the lifeless mass of humanity and by the fever and ferment with which they imbue it turn this soggy dough into bread and the bread into wine and the wine into song.

I'd love to be in paul mccartney's shoes for a day. i'd love to pick up a guitar and write songs like he does. or to experience what it might have been like to be a beatle for a day.
Song Writing Guitar
“i don’t want to miss a thing” is a hard song to perform, i was worried that i was not going to reach that significant note that is at the end of the song. thank god, steven loved it! he was the nicest and friendliest judge that i have met. he also invited me to chat with him whether i had free time on the idol set.
