Summary

This quote highlights the process of self-reflection and artistic growth after experiencing success and criticism as a musician. In order to escape the pressures and expectations that come with releasing a first record, the individual chooses solitude in Ireland. By immersing themselves in poetry and literature, specifically finding inspiration in Patti Smith's autobiography, they begin to craft meaningful and introspective songs. This time away allows them to shed the "baggage" of their prior work and find a renewed creative direction through personal exploration and exposure to different forms of artistic expression.

Do you hesitate? 0 miser, It is cheap at that price!
