The last five minutes of this is exactly how I feel. "Making music is easy, corralling it into a whole is the real jujitsu of it." Exactly. Speaking for myself and many other amateurs that I know, music really is the easy part after a while (playing instruments for decades), but what separates me and many amateurs from the more prolific musicians is that vision and gathering and arranging those ideas into something that tells a complete idea or story. "Do you know when to stop?" ...... And one of the great pitfalls in corralling that music is knowing when to stop! Much of the music I wrote in my youth is horrible, not just because of the naivete, because I had no idea what to stop. Just keep throwing junk into the song until it collapsed under it's own weight. Great interview, and St. Vincent is a gem of an artist!
Her father's criminal active might only be 'white collar' but likely resulted in lives been ruined and so this is not a light topic of conversation. There are deeper ethical questions to be address...

Deeply flawed? Deeply beautiful more like!
She was never “bad at music.”
literally everyone starts out being "bad at music".

i feel like she's allowed to channel her feelings about it thru music without having to explain or apologize for her father's actions? idk
