Reflecting on the new artistic frame of mind offered by this collaboration, Van Etten muses, “Sometimes it's exciting, sometimes it's scary, sometimes you feel stuck. It's like every day feels a little different – just being at peace with whatever you're feeling and whoever you are and how you relate to people in that moment.

“If I can just keep a sense of openness while knowing that my feelings change every day, that is all I can do right now. That and try to be the best person I can be while letting other people be who they are and not taking it personally and just being. I'm not there, but I'm trying to be there every day.”

Sharon Van Etten plus special guests will play the National Museum of Ireland, Collins Barracks, Dublin on Thursday, 21 August. Tickets sell from €52.35 starting this Friday, December 13.
