Creativity Quote by Caroline Corr

"We go in and I do my thing, and then we supplement it with whatever we want"

About this Quote

There is a cool, almost offhand authority in Caroline Corr's "I do my thing" that tells you a lot about how contemporary bands actually function when they work. It frames performance less as a sacred, fixed text and more as a living workflow: enter the room, deliver the core identity, then treat everything else as modular.

The intent reads practical, even protective. "My thing" is a boundary line as much as a style note: a claim to a distinct musical voice inside a collective. Coming from a musician in a family band context (Corr is known for The Corrs, where roles can blur into brand), it subtly asserts authorship without sounding territorial. She doesn't say "my part" or "my arrangement"; she says "my thing", a phrase that makes musicianship feel embodied, instinctive, non-negotiable.

The subtext lives in "supplement". That's not "fix", "correct", or "improve" - it's garnish, color, optionality. It implies the foundation is already solid and the add-ons are where play happens: extra harmonies, production flourishes, crowd-responsive tweaks, maybe even genre crossovers. The "whatever we want" lands as both freedom and quiet flex. It's a reminder that creative control isn't always a dramatic battle; sometimes it's the confident ease of people who know their lane and have earned the right to experiment.

Culturally, the line fits a post-album, post-purity moment where audiences expect elasticity - live versions, remixes, acoustic sets, TikTok-era rearrangements. The band isn't betraying the song; they're treating it like a platform.
