Without music, life would be a blank to me.
One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.
Music, when combined with a pleasurable idea, is poetry; music without the idea is simply music; the idea without the music is prose from its very definitiveness.
The outlet for my work is not just the music and the videos, it’s every breathing moment of my life. I’m always saying something about art and music and fame.
The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
Next to music beer was best.
Music is never about music. If it was, we’d be writing songs about guitars. But we don’t. We write songs about women. Women will crush you, you know? I suppose everybody hurts everybody, but women always seem to get back up, you ever notice that? Women are always still standing.
Music is like a dream. One that I cannot hear.
Music is indeed the mediator between the spiritual and sensual life.
Music expresses that which cannot be said, and which cannot be suppressed.[Ce qu’on ne peut dire et ce qu’on ne peut taire, la musique l’exprime.]
All voices, all goals, all yearnings, all suffering, all pleasure, all that was good and evil, all of this together was the world. All of it together was the flow of events, was the music of life.
You are the music while the music lasts.
