Well, I’m a painter, I was trained as a painter…I seem to have spent a little less time painting than I might’ve done…But it didn’t transcend the feeling of playing at UFO and those sort...

Who needs to be a Phoenix for rebirth? One simply requires themselves and an instrument to clean the slate and start over, perhaps create their own world where everything is better..

Jobs had begun to drop acid by then, and he turned Brennan on to it as well, in a wheat field just outside Sunnyvale. “It was great,” he recalled. “I had been listening to a...

The Best Music you can ever hear in your Life is Silence — silence of yourself, silence of your loved ones

We need conscious entertainment that engage and influence its consumer to rational thinking.

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

Somebody get me a cheeseburger!

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...

The silence gets us nowhere, nowhere way to fast

My hands moved up and down the keyboard, summoning great waves of music, each one crested with sorrow, loneliness, and anger. Tides of emotion rose and fell, gradually finding their way down my arms and...

Music is the emotions that words can not express.

Many people don’t realize the connection between music and literature and I’m here to tell them that it does exist!

If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.

Cooking is a way of listening to the radio.

Music connects us to beautiful feelings of love, fullness, wholeness and unity

We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams.

sometimes music isn’t just a bunch of sounds and lyrics, sometimes it’s more than that: a time machine…

I’ve found that no matter what life throws at me, music softens the blow.

Music is much like fucking, but some composers can’t climax and others climax too often, leaving themselves and the listener jaded and spent.

There are two kinds of artists left: those who endorse Pepsi and those who simply won’t.

With my guitar, I could write my own stories, my own poems, and my own destiny. No one could take away the feelings, the emotions or the truth of my notes. They could hide secrets...

There’s something lyrical about an eternal truth. It’s a graceful riff. A free-flowing melody. Light and airy, it floats all around you. And when it lands on your ears, when you hear it for the...

We simply can’t feel fulfilled by love we pay for.

So I would choose to be with you,That’s if the choice were mine to make,But you can make decisions too,And you can have this heart to break

Words make you think. Music makes you feel. A song makes you feel a thought.

Those guys who want to have the Mohawk…which, to me, is the new business casual.

The hurt is the place where the music enters you.

So I forced myself to step out of my comfort zone and go out and connect with people. I realised that no one knew me here. I could become whoever I wanted to be for...

This is almost always the case: A piece of art receives its f(r)ame when found offensive.

Music expresses feeling, that is to say, gives shape and habitation to feeling, not in space but in time. To the extent that music has a history that is more than a history of its...

I was hoping we could just listen to Jimmy Eat World and forget we ever grew up.

Eddie Money and Johnny Cash should have collaborated. I’d have paid good last name to see them in concert.

A good country song takes a page out of someone’s life, and puts it into music.

Life is like a beautiful melody, only the lyrics are messed up.

I’m a bluesman moving through a blues-soaked America, a blues-soaked world, a planet where catastrophe and celebration- joy and pain sit side by side. The blues started off in some field, some plantation, in some...

Every single one of them with their eyes open and on him, their mouths, too, halfway screaming, halfway begging. Offering themselves to him, because the call was irresistible despite being recognizable. They were moths who...

Thank God for books and music and things I can think about.”–Charlie Gordon

I’d like to make the argument that The Cars were the first garage band.

Cher and share alike. At least in sound. Most of the decisions I make are sound, exactly like Beethoven when he wrote and discarded his 10th symphony.

Most people have some appreciation of mathematics, just as most people can enjoy a pleasant tune; and there are probably more people really interested in mathematics than in music. Appearances suggest the contrary, but there...

Ancient philosophy was framed by prodigies,Aristotle, Plato and Socrates.And even though their thoughts were deemed the aristocratic voice,they also had a thing for little boys.Katherine the Great so it’s been said,needed large animals to be...

It was as if his song was one voice, calling out into the darkness until it was answered by another, harmonizing with its own unique voice and emotion to create something even more beautiful than...

You know what punk is? a bunch of no-talent guys who really, really want to be in a band. Nobody reads music, nobody plays the mandolin, and you’re too dumb to write songs about mythology...

Mellow is the man who knows what he’s been missing

I’d wear any of my private attire for the world to see. But I would rather have an open flesh wound than ever wear a band aid in public.

Eternity hums with every beating heart, with every up-lifted voice, with the crash of waves, the whirl of wind across the shifting dunes, the cry of sea birds, and the trumpets of heavenly angels.

Michael [Hutchence] is hands down one of the greatest frontmen in music. The style, the voice—all of it. Any way that I was ever influenced by him really comes down to small, pale imitations compared...

I live to inspire, not start the fire.

I don’t know how you hear music. I imagine that if you like music at all then it has, in your head, some kind of third dimension to it, a dimension suggesting space as well...

It’s music rage, which is like road rage, only more righteous. When you get road rage, a tiny part of you knows you’re being a jerk, but when you get music rage, you’re carrying out...
