Concentrate Quote by John Britt Daniel
“Mostly, isolation allows me to go through a period where I really concentrate and get in a flow. Sometimes the whole process can be daunting, and when you're away from it, thinking about going back to it is especially daunting. If I go away for a week, I can be working on 10 songs at once, just jumping around to each one. I can get a month's worth of work done.”

![“I'm used to coming up with a lot of parts. And I don't have to do that so much [with Divine Fits]. This is the kind of band I've always wanted to be in because we never set up any aesthetic rules when we started it. We just wrote and edited, and it ended up sounding like Divine Fits.” quote by John Britt Daniel](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/13d/john-britt-daniel-22842_aesthetic_i-m-used-to-coming-up-with-a-lot-of-part_1587465.jpg)
