But maybe music was not intended to satisfy the curious definiteness of man. Maybe it is better to hope that music may always be transcendental language in the most extravagant sense.
Only a tiny portion of music history involves a singer and a lyric. Songs in music are generally thought to be a minor form.
I just like music that sounds like music. Not like machines and computers and things that you design to make things sound slick and perfect.
Yes, my first memory of singing, in general, was of a Christmas song. And then listening to Christmas music was really the first music I was ever connected to.
Anybody I'm dating, I don't want them to talk about my music. I don't talk about my music to them.
I always thought of indie-rock as being rock music by bands that were on independent labels, and that's a great thing.
Great music is its own movie, already. And the challenge, as a music fan, is to keep the song as powerful as it wants to be, to not tamper with it and to somehow give it a home.
There was so much great music around in the '60s, stuff like The Small Faces, but I also love The Jam.
There's a great energy and drive that takes precedence in a lot of rock and pop. It's about making a strong visceral connection. That's something that I think great classical music can have, too.
The Bee Gees who are brilliant, I just love great music.
There's just no great rock albums anymore. There's a lot of rock music out there, but it's very bland and disposable.
I think that there's always great music being made. Always has been, always will be.
There's more good music being made now than ever before.
What I'm trying to do is put back into rap music what's missing - which is the good part, the fun part, that party part.
I love pop music. It's not easy to write a good pop song.
I do put a lot of God in my music, but not because I'm super religious. There are a lot of demons in my music, too. I acknowledge both.
I'm very bad with music. I don't know any new music. I've listened to the same 10 or 12 albums my whole life.
Music is a big part of my life. I listen to different genres, and I choose the music that will inspire the next part of my story.
When I listen to music these days, and I hear Pro Tools and drums that sound like a machine - it kinda sucks the life out of music.
I'm working on my life story. I'm not decided if it's going to be a musical or a movie with music in it.
A composer knows that music is written by human beings for human beings and that music is a continuation of life, not something separated from it.
