Sara Bareilles

“I know when a tune is done because it’s that same feeling as knowing you’re on to something when you’re starting a song. There’s that little period of time after a song is done when you want to make tweaks and adjustments. But I’m not very precious about those things, choosing one word over another. Analyzing can get in the way. When you start to nitpick and are too meticulous, you take the life out of it.”
