Time & Perspective Quote by Daisy Berkowitz

It reads like a throwaway line, but it’s also a little self-portrait of life inside a working band: ambition constantly kneecapped by logistics. Daisy Berkowitz frames “more equipment” as possibility (“I’m open”), then immediately slams the door with “really won’t have time,” the phrase musicians use when they mean: I want this, but the calendar owns me. The intent is practical, almost managerial, yet the subtext is emotional fatigue - a quiet admission that even creative growth has to stand in line behind travel days, load-ins, soundchecks, and the relentless treadmill of shows.

The wording matters. “Look into that” isn’t “buy it” or “upgrade”; it’s research, comparison, decision-making - the invisible labor fans never picture when they romanticize touring. Berkowitz isn’t rejecting the gear; she’s rejecting the cognitive overhead it requires while already operating at capacity. There’s also an implicit boundary-setting: the tour is not just a series of performances, it’s an all-consuming project that forces deferred maintenance on everything else, including artistic experimentation.

Contextually, it’s a glimpse of how creativity gets industrialized. Equipment becomes both tool and symbol: better sound, more control, maybe even a new direction - but only when time returns. The line captures a very modern tension: we’re told to optimize constantly, yet the conditions of work (especially touring) make “later” the only realistic schedule for improvement.
