Sometimes it pays to get up early, even on a holiday
On the way to meet up with a few out of town friends at a diner for breakfast this morning, we got to hear a great interview on NPR with Laura Marling, a musician from England. It’s only 7 minutes or so, give it a listen.
There were two parts of the short interview that really struck me. The song “Alas, I Cannot Swim”, and a quote that comes out of the discussion:
You know, you are what you can prove you’ve done. That’s how people judge you. You know, I’ve released an album so I can prove to people that I was a songwriter. People who’ve finished university can prove that they’ve got a degree and that they’ve worked with something. And I think like, I love so many things but I haven’t got any qualifications. Apart from the album; the album is my qualification I guess.
