Disappointment Quote by Tim Hecker

“I've always said my records are these failures of not getting where I want them to go, they end up detouring somewhere else, so on one level it's partly a disappointment, and on another level it's being comfortable with surrendering to that kind of state of becoming or whatever.” quote by Tim Hecker — Download Open image
