Thinking Quotes by Will Oldham

Will Oldham

As a kid you learn that there are thinkers and there are philosophers and there are theologian, and I’d hear little bits of the ideas that these people pursued or developed or created and I’d be really excited.

I valued the experience of making the recordings, and I value the performances contained therein, and I value so much of what they can represent. I also think they’re a terrific listening experience. Putting them out this way was a way of trying to maintain and nurture the relationship with the audience and also shine a light on the recent past, because we are so apt to be forgetful as human beings that there was such a thing as a recent past. These are some of the reasons for making this record.

I was worried before I saw the play ‘The Seven Storey Mountain’, thinking I don’t really want to see a play about Thomas Merton. He probably wouldn’t have either, ideally. Then it isn’t. It’s more about us and it’s about our relationship to what he may or may not have thought about. It’s its own thing completely.

My booking agent, of course, here and overseas, their tendency is to want to build on a certain kind of measurable success, and I was thinking yesterday, what I’d like to do is maybe start to compile a list of the best 200 to 500 capacity rooms around the world and just start going to them again and again and again.
