Feist has an amazing voice. Her emotional intelligence is somehow even more impressive. I’m very appreciative of her being able to express herself because it’s helped me grow my own emotional intelligence.

[@tinydancer7343]

What a beautifully written feeling. Thank you for sharing with us. I agree. She is amazing!

[@sheilacarabine423]

Love Feist's poetic articulations in conversation

[@justyna5673]

I can't believe how she just names and describes all the feelings I've had about becoming a parent, even the ones I didn't realise.

[@thegrudge]

Right?! I am being incinerated as we speak.

[@deannabanana1983]

If you haven’t, give a deep listen to Forever Before

[@lenadroks]

what an amazing interview. Questions and answers both in the same level. Communication is a gift (and a rare event)

[@oliviahawkes4828]

The headphones of someone walking in the rain - she talks in song lyrics I love it

[@buffalobrown3000]

Thank you! This conversation is a gift❤

[@user-cw3gi3hr7h]

Feel so seen by Leslie's ruminations on becoming a parent. What a wise and wonderful woman. Also the new record is gorgeous.

[@DarkKnight906]

Feist is so intelligent and articulate in her responses. I could listen to her voice all day.

[@WhiteBull_33]

Thank you Leslie. Love the new record.

[@exlibrist]

She is an amazing human being

[@renacleerican7824]

For sure Feist's music is pure art and I am thankfull to be sensitive enough to sense and love it. She is a rare and very precious artist.

[@lorenfulghum2393]

we're all lucky that you are so sensitive

[@ombudsmanGhana]

Feist is so cool 🤗

[@steverose1977]

Her openness, humour, intelligence and articulacy... Leslie, Dave Grohl and I should have a drink sometime. Well, I'd just be listening, to be honest.

[@LaupaireOfficial]

❤️❤️❤️

[@m00nsplitter72]

Never meet your gpds. It never fails. I loved BSS and its spin offs, but Feist's solo works seemed unique.and brilliant. Now she has explained her brillianse I feel kinda dumb. amde

[@Moribus_Artibus]

She's such a darling, isn't she?

[@j.douglasalves]

🙂🇧🇷❤️

[@sammy2nd]

This is a weird video title considering feist has always been mother?

[@deannabanana1983]

I wish I could like this twice.

[@markryanking]

She’s so mother

[@benwrightish]

I love Feist, but I never would've been introduced to her music had it not been for Seseme Street. Parenting toddlers has its perks.

[@mapakern3979]

The interviewer has some strong series killer vibes in the way he looks at her

[@squatch545]

She seems a little feisty.

[@ghost__chips]

She kind of looks like Noel Fielding

[@sammy2nd]

chill

[@jomassey4207]

I enjoy her singing and dancing. I had this idea she was foot lose and fancy free, but.......funny how first impressions are so wrong. Had no idea how self important she is and how having a baby is such an impediment in her life.

[@rocknrollsinger]

THAT’S what you got from this? I feel sorry for you.

[@jomassey4207]

@@rocknrollsinger Everyone is allowed to have an opinion. Remember that.😁

[@rocknrollsinger]

@@jomassey4207 So she can “sing and dance” for you, but not talk candidly about her life? I think you’re confusing self-importance for your own petty judgment. She never remotely implies that her baby is an impediment. What are you even talking about? It’s hard to be a self employed woman who makes their living from touring and even work parenting in. She’s just talking about her life experience, and as a parent who is also a songwriter, I find her account to be VERY accurate.

[@robertgranat9185]

She was incredibly endearing at her show. It’s saddening that speaking candidly signals self-importance to you. She spoke with real vigor about parenthood and dedicated a song to the parents in the room about what a terrifying ordeal it is to raise a child while feeling one yourself.

[@PopLife-hb3ks]

Having a child is a huge lifetime commitment that shouldn’t be taken lightly. I think the world would be a better place if people contemplated the realities of it(parenthood) before actually becoming parents. She sounds very thoughtful and responsible.

there sureee needed to be a spoiler alert on the first minute of the interview 🫠🫠🫠
