From an fascinating interview with musician Linda Perhacs on NPR, who recorded an album 40 years ago that sold very few copies, only to have it recently re-emerge as a cult favorite:
Our human fads are so temporary and they come and go so quickly. The things that last have a greater balance with these things that are more eternal. I always want to go to the universe and use things that have a timeless quality, that match the eons, that match the flow of nature. My music comes to me, usually, like rain: It's a fast flood. It pours from above my head, through my head, and I have to race to get pencil and paper to catch it.
