A tune has to resonate with whatever is happening around it.
Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run.
If you do anything regularly for a while, sooner or later the weirdoes will show up.
If you feel blocked, do not turn to others, but look inside, in silence, for the enemy of your progress.
Turn your head away from the screen, my friend. It will tell you nothing more.
There’s the moon asking to stay long enough for the clouds to fly me away.
When all of this music sounds like you know what you want to say, then it will have been of all worth, ever. You will be something complete unto yourself, present and unique.
Fate is gonna find you in your glass of champagne.
I prefer to learn everything through music. If you want divinity, the music in every human being and their love for music is pretty much it. It’s the big indication of their spirituality and their ability to love and make love, or feel pain or joy, and really manifest it, really be real.
Love heals all wounds and not just time alone.
The most audacious thing I could possibly state in this day and age is that life is worth living. It’s worth being bashed against. It’s worth getting scarred by. It’s worth pouring yourself over every one of its coals.
Be the best. No negativity. No weakness. No acquiescence to fear or disaster. No errors of ignorance. No evasion to reality.
There’s no time for hatred, only questions. Where is love? Where is happiness? What is life? Where is peace?
Words are beautiful but restricted. They’re very masculine, with a compact frame. But voice is over the dark, the place where there’s nothing to hang on: it comes from a part of yourself that simply knows, expresses itself, and is.
But music seems to me to be the most closely identified with my soul. I mean, I feel that it’s the best for me. It just gets into the bloodstream so quickly, for no reason at all. You can close your heart, and you can sleep even with your eyes closed, but you can never close your ears.
Fight despite the crowds of the walking dead.
I’m convinced I got signed because of who I am. And it makes me sad.
Your soul can fly outward, stringed to your ribcage like a shimmering kite in the shape of an open hand. Be still and listen to the evidence of your own holiness.
I’ve always felt that the quality of the voice is where the real content of a song lies. Words only suggest an experience, but the voice is that experience.
If you want to get somewhere in this life, learn to draw beautiful women.
