Dancing is to music what a beloved wife is to her husband. Both of them are so in love, you can’t separate them.

To live is to be musical, starting with the blood dancing in your veins. Everything living has a rhythm. Do you feel your music?

How many victims must that be? Slaughtered in vain across the land,And how many strugles must that be?Before we choose to live the profits planEverybody sing- Every day create your History,Every path you take you’re leaving your legacyEvery soldier dies in his gloryEvery legend tells of conquest and liberty.

People ask me how I make music. I tell them I just step into it. It’s like stepping into a river and joining the flow. Every moment in the river has its song.

Hard to say what’s right when all I wanna do is wrong.

Each song is a child I nourish and give my love to. But even if you have never written a song, your life is a song. How can it not be?

Every hidden cell is throbbing with music and life, every fiber thrilling like harp strings.

reality sucks, that’s probably why we dream. Why our bodies need sleep. So we can escape. Escape this earth, at least just for a little while. Everynight, we get to go away. Sleep is the only time I feel safe. The only time I can leave this place. This reality that feels like needles sticking...

White folks have controlled New Orleans with money and guns, black folks have controlled it with magic and music, and although there has been a steady undercurrent of mutual admiration, an intermingling of cultures unheard of in any other American city, South or North; although there has prevailed a most joyous and fascinating interface, black...

Prayers For Rain’ begins like practically every Cure song, with an introduction that’s longer than most Bo Diddley singles. Never mind the omnipresent chill, why does Robert Smith write such interminable intros? I can put on ‘Prayers For Rain,’ then cook an omelette in the time it takes him to start singing. He seems to...

Music, oh, how faint, how weak,Language fades before thy spell!Why should Feeling ever speak,When thou canst breathe her soul so well?

Big fat hairy monkey, hands a couple of octaves wide?

There are millions of chords. There are millions of numbers. And everyone forgets the one that is a zero. But without the zero, numbers are just arithmetic. Without the empty chord, music is just noise.

What are words without the melody?

It’s old, very old I think. Made up long ago in our hills. What my music teacher calls a mountain air. But the words are easy and soothing, promising tomorrow will be more hopeful than this awful piece of time we call today.

I declare that The Beatles are mutants. Prototypes of evolutionary agents sent by God, endowed with a mysterious power to create a new human species, a young race of laughing freemen.

The more you love music, the more music you love.

Music is love.

When we are attuned to our inner voice, life becomes art and art becomes life.

For a brief moment I felt I was the older, the more mature.”A gift of life,” I responded, “if not to say, a gift of God, such as music, should not have the mocking charge of paradox leveled at it for things that are merely evidence of the fullness of its nature. One should love...

All my concerts had no sounds in them; they were completely silent. People had to make up their own music in their minds!

Music is a total constant. That’s why we have such a strong visceral connection to it, you know? Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song stays the same, just like...

Music is the great uniter. An incredible force. Something that people who differ on everything and anything else can have in common.

By the sweet power of music: therefore the poet did feign that Orpheus drew trees, stones and floods; since nought so stockish, hard and full of rage, but music for the time doth change his nature. The man that hath no music in himself, nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is fit...

Three miles from my adopted city lies a village where I came to peace.The world there was a calm place, even the great Danube no more than a pale ribbon tossed onto the landscapeby a girl’s careless hand. Into this stillness I had been ordered to recover. The hills were gold with late summer;my rooms...

If music be the food of love, play on.

Im looking for a girl who’s fun to be around.

If I cannot fly, let me sing.

The atmosphere felt unexpectedly intense and the music was frantic. The beat made it both difficult to think straight and pleasant to move – like swimming almost.

With theology as a code of dogmas which are to be believed, or at any rate repeated, under penalty of present or future punishment, or as a storehouse of anaesthetics for those who find the pains of life too hard to bear, I have nothing to do; and, so far as it may be possible,...

When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me,speaking words of wisdom, let it be.And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,speaking words of wisdom, let it be.Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.And...

And, in the endThe love you takeis equal to the love you make.

I don’t really want fame and fortune; I just want to enjoy playing my music for people that enjoy hearing it.

Songs are dangerous, songs are subversive and can change your life.

I won’t forget when I couldn’t go to bed with the lights offWhen I heard that voice call me in for the nightI remember when love was just a word and not a fightAll I had to worry about were broken bones and being left alone

You really fucked me up this time for good, even though you didn’t mean to

I spend my nights thinking the worstAnd telling myself that everything’s going to work outI keep kicking myself in the mouthOpening up every cut that should be a scar by now

You used to make me feel like I could walk on waterNow most nights I’m just sinking down and downYou’re the reason why I can’t listen to the same songs I used to

I’ve never known a musician who regretted being one. Whatever deceptions life may have in store for you, music itself is not going to let you down.

As I have said before, I had no illusions about my performing ability. But I did not know that my despair was brought about not because I had no talent but because I did not know how to develop it.

Please don’t cry one tear for me, I’m not afraid of what I have to say.This is my one and only voice, so listen close… it’s only for today.

Give the mind rest, do not stress too much on thoughts, close your eyes and let your spirit dance.

Audience of angels descend in the ambiance reciting praises in your glory, when you wear your dance shoes, when you arrive at the stage and with every step you take beneath your feet heaven moves. That is the power of dance.

I am sure that music was never meant to sound this harsh, this painful.

If the power of love is in your heart then dance away to a universe beyond the stars.

Dance to inspire, dance to freedom, life is about experiences so dance and let yourself become free.

Dance is the ritual of immortality

God sent as a revelation the gift of dance so his creation may experience one of the divine pleasures of paradise.

Show me a person who found love in his life and did not celebrate it with a dance.

You are the music while the music lasts.
