I am a big fan of music in general. I listen to all genres: hip-hop, R&B, whatever sounds good to me; it doesn’t matter to me where it comes from – there are no boundaries, no fences. If I like it, then it will inspire me to create.
Music has always been a huge part of my life from a very young age, and today it remains a very powerful and natural way for me to connect with people, as well as my children.
Without music, life is a journey through a desert.
Music is life itself. What would this world be without good music? No matter what kind it is.
One of the things about live music that’s so incredibly important and can’t be replaced and automated is the common focus of a room full of people having that human contact and being immersed in the sensory overload of a rock concert.
The dance can reveal everything mysterious that is hidden in music, and it has the additional merit of being human and palpable. Dancing is poetry with arms and legs.
Music isn’t what I do. It’s who I am.
I think I could walk into any music shop anywhere and with a guitar off the rack, a couple of basic pedals and an amp I could sound just like me. There’s no devices, customized or otherwise, that give me my sound.
In the U.K., classical music is composed by individuals and written down. Indian music is based on certain sequences called ragas. When I perform live, 95% of the music is improvised: it never sounds the same twice.
Ladies and gentleman, I’ve suffered for my music, now it’s your turn.
Music is not math. It’s science. You keep mixing the stuff up until it blows up on you, or it becomes this incredible potion.
You know, music is sex. It’s a sensual driving mode that affects people if it’s played a certain way.
Miles Davis turned his back to the audience when he came out on stage, and he offended people. But, he wasn’t there to entertain; he was all about the music. I kind of do that.
My personal hobbies are reading, listening to music, and silence.
My singing is my hobby. It’s me and my brother. We just enjoy writing music.
I think visually, and music videos spark my creativity.
Music is powerful. As people listen to it, they can be affected. They respond.
I realized music is the most important thing to me and I love writing songs, and I think I had more to say in life.
Music drives you. It wakes you up, it gets you pumping. And, at the end of the day, the correct tune will chill you down.
Together with a culture of work, there must be a culture of leisure as gratification. To put it another way: people who work must take the time to relax, to be with their families, to enjoy themselves, read, listen to music, play a sport.
Old music is the same as new music – it’s just a different way of delivering it.
When I felt upset and lost, music always had the answer.
If you pour some music on whatever’s wrong, it’ll sure help out.
Only in country music can you compare an old pickup truck and an old guitar to your wife and turn it into a love song… Thank God for country music.
Music is made one of Satan’s most attractive agencies to ensnare souls; but, when turned to a good account, it is a blessing. When abused, it leads the unconsecrated to pride, vanity, and folly.
