About this Quote

This quote by Keren Ann highlights the distinction in between recording and playing music. When you record a song, it ends up being a permanent part of your life. You need to cope with it for many years, constantly hearing it and possibly performing it live. It ends up being a part of your identity as an artist. Nevertheless, when you play a song live, it's just for a short amount of time. It's like a fleeting moment that will soon be over. When the efficiency is done, it's over and you move on to the next song. This quote stresses the lasting effect of taping music and the momentary nature of performing it live.
