“To conceive music, to execute it in front of others,…” quote by Ryan Adams — Download Open image

“To conceive music, to execute it in front of others, to make it so others can do it...it can be pretty humbling, and kind of scary. So yeah, I don't really feel in competition with anybody. Not because I feel elitist, but because I have enough self-competition. I'm always struggling.”
