Music will bring people together.
Music is not a color to me. It has no boundaries.
Music in pubs is always a bad idea.
Music and dance is what we all have in common. That’s a universal language. And we can change the world.
If summer doesn’t sing in you, then nothing sings in you. And if nothing sings in you, then you can’t make music.
I like to imagine that what I hear came from my mother and father. Maybe the notes I hear, are the same ones they heard, the night they met. Maybe that’s how they found each other. Maybe that’s how they’ll find me. I believe that once upon a time, long ago, they heard the music and followed it.
I have one or two saving factors. One is it that I love people, and I love music. I love music so much it keeps me glued to life even when I’m most depressed. And I can get very deeply depressed. But I have a work ethic and that keeps me afloat. And the other is that I love people so much that it’s hard for me to be alone.
I find music a useful distraction. A focus tool. Keeps the inner voice from wandering.
Do you know what music is? It’s God’s little reminder there’s something else besides us in this universe. Harmonic connection between all living beings, everywhere, even the stars.
Can you hear it? The music. I can hear it everywhere. In the wind, in the air, in the light. It’s all around us. All you have to do is open yourself up. All you have to do is listen.
Anything that has to do with music is my province, wouldn’t you say? Whether it’s composing it or conducting it, or teaching it, or studying it, or playing it. As long as it’s music, I like it and I do it.
