When you are accompanied by the instrument - on an instrument like the lute-the lute and voice - you have this sound, and you feel how the music can be so touching and yet so simple.
I could read music and sing all the right notes at the right time. And over time, I literally found my voice, found a way to make sound.
Those who have virtue always in their mouths, and neglect it in practice, are like a harp, which emits a sound pleasing to others, while itself is insensible of the music.
Somewhere along the line the rhythms and tonalities of music elided in my brain with the sounds that words make and the rhythm that sentences have.
There's something so wonderful about writing in rhyme where it isn't just the meaning of the words, it's the music to the words and the shape and the sound.
'Climb Every Mountain' is a beautiful statement of philosophy. Critics may think 'The Sound of Music' is saccharine, but I think it's profound. The message, that we can't accommodate evil, is just as important today.
I feel like I was the only person who was capable of making this type of music in this type of way. I don't rap like nobody, I don't try to sound like nobody.
We didn't go for music that sounded like blues, or jazz, or rock, or Led Zeppelin, or Rolling Stones. We didn't want to be like any of the other bands.
I enjoy the videos with the sound off, where you can look at the belly buttons and everything. Really some pretty girls, but I don't know about the music.
All old music was modern once, and much more of the music of yesterday already sounds more old-fashioned than works which were written three centuries ago.
I can make any type of music, so I wouldn't want to describe myself as having one type of sound. I think music is about keeping it diverse.
The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils.
I don't want to sound like Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells, but I do think there should be some sort of national service for young men.
The real menace in dealing with a five-year-old is that in no time at all you begin to sound like a five-year-old.
Narrator: Philoméne likes the sound of the cat's bowl on the tiles. The cat likes overhearing children's stories.
The first notes I still play when I start a sound check are classical. Those are my roots.
I don't enjoy hearing the sound of my voice. The most important things for me are impossible to articulate extemporaneously.
I don't try to be someone I'm not - I've always followed my heart and trance has always been my main sound.
It's just a goatee. That sounds kind of weird. A soul patch? I don't know how 'soul' it is.
One day I'll wake up and I'll have 10 or 12 songs and think, 'Oh that sounds like it could be a record.'
It's not enough to hit the notes. There is no point in the singers just standing there and sounding wonderful if they're not connecting with the characters they are portraying.
