Without music, life would be a blank to me.

Dinner for two—plus one.

Sweet Grace amazes meThe way that she can seeBeyond the man I amTo the man that I could beShe’s bringing out my bestWhile she covers all the restSome say her love is blindBut I say...

I had a boyfriend who told me I’d never succeed, never be nominated for a Grammy, never have a hit song, and that he hoped I’d fail. I said to him, ‘Someday, when we’re not...

Express yourself, Express your life, Express the Moment, Live the life.

If you develop an ear for sounds that are musical it is like developing an ego. You begin to refuse sounds that are not musical and that way cut yourself off from a good deal...

I believe that a person’s taste in music tells you a lot about them. In some cases, it tells you everything you need to know.

The only reason I am successful is because I have stayed true to myself.

I’m so cool that the kids come to my bedroom and go, ‘Mom! Turn the music down!

Sing your life; any fool can think of words that rhyme.

I have forgiven Jesus for all of the love he placed in me, when there’s no one I can turn to with this love.

Music makes me forget myself, my true condition, it carries me off into another state of being, one that isn’t my own: under the influence of music I have the illusion of feeling things I...

Music lifted our spirit and awakens our soul.

Doris loves Superman as well.unfortunately, she got knocked down by a van last year, and it was a big, long recovery for her, really. It took about six months, didn’t it, before she was fully...

For he had never heard anything like it–did not know such music existed in the world–and it was hard to believe that a man he knew could play it with his own two hands. There...

Any good music must be an innovation.

The power of music, narrative and drama is of the greatest practical and theoretical importance. One may see this even in the case of idiots, with IQs below 20 and the extremest motor incompetence and...

As Steve draws me closer to the band, all I can see is a frenzied mass of seething, writhing people, like a many-headed sea snake, grinding, waving their arms, stamping their feet, jumping. No rules,...

I’m wishing he could see that music lives. Forever. That it’s stronger than death. Stronger than time. And that its strength holds you together when nothing else can.

Well, God knows you’re barely standing but you’ve got to carry this heavy load.

Music took her somewhere, and I used to wonder where. I thought it was dumb, the way she lived for a collection of sounds, for someone else’s words and notes.

Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul.

Music without passion is merely noise. A life without passion? You may as well be dead.

Music touches us emotionally, where words alone can’t.

I had enough of a story churning in my head that combined all the elements of the day—the interview, the concert, the after-party’s private session—when he put his guitar away and asked me if I...

I don’t know notes or octaves or the difference between sharp and flat, but I know music makes everything more.

Your life is your song, sing it loud!

Although it was only a single instrument, each note had the peculiar echoed quality of a thousand harmonics voiced together. There was a whisper behind the strongest note and a shout beneath the softest, and...

You can’t speak Music with notes alone, but you can speak Music without notes at all!

I’m full of dust and guitars…

He said that the principal function of music was to organize the details into harmonies that were intended to make us forget that there was randomness all around us. The same, he said, could be...

The only justification for looking down on anyone, is that you’re going to stop and pick them up.

Life is like music on a scale, moving up and down. When your life is over, you have written your song.

If you’re feeling discouraged and defeated—don’t quit. Play on, hope on, and move forward. The music you play—even in the midst of incredible darkness—can and will turn the tide of your own battles.

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

The musician and the listener.If this is love between two strangers watching each other from afar, that rough, burning moment when you rush in and kiss is the show.

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.

When you were young, and your heart, was an open book. You used to say, live and let live.

Tax not so bad a voice to slander music any more than once.

If I were you I’d put that away. See you’re just wasted and thinking about the past again, darling you’ll be okay.

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

It’s not easy in this phosphorescent gloom telling waking dreams apart anyhow.

The hungry and the haunted explode in a rock’n’roll band.

That lady has a piano.It’s nice, but it’s not the running of riversOr the murmuring trees make ..Who needs a piano?It’s better to have earsAnd love Nature.

She wasn’t actually speaking to me, she was singing a kind of lullaby of talk. But, eventually, the music stopped.

Wonderful music like this was the worst hurt there could be. The whole world was the symphony, and there was not enough of her to listen.

…music, music, records, records, noise to cover silence.

So long as the human spirit thrives on this planet, music in some living form will accompany and sustain it and give it expressive meaning.
