Music Quotes
There's this idea of a star, and this person is very aloof and writes all the music, and they don't talk to anyone unless they go through the record label. And I always felt very uncomfortable about that.
Imogen Heap
It's not music you would use to get a girl into bed. If anything, you're going to frighten her off.
David Byrne
Talking Heads
But I really believe that you don't do music because you want to, you do it because you have to.
Dan Reynolds
Imagine Dragons
I wish I'd gone to music school or just started playing in bands sooner.
Rachel Platten
I don't think people really do listen. We plug into music, and we have short attention spans. We tend to download individual tracks from iTunes rather than a whole album. We buy music DVDs and watch them once, and then they disappear into a drawer, or we loan them to a friend, and we never watch it again.
Ian Anderson
I never thought then I'd be doing what I'm doing now. At my high school, being on the girls soccer team was the cool thing to do, but that was definitely never going to happen for me, so I played music. Not because everyone thought it was awesome, but for the love of it.
Kate Voegele
Music at times is more like perfume than mathematics.
Gabriel Marcel
I wasn't a kid when I came out. Soulja Boy was 16. I'm saying that when he came out he was a kid so it was naturally a show for him. It's not about the music right away. It's a show for him. Not that he's not putting enough effort into his music, but how much effort can a 16 year old put into his music because as you mature and get older even the songs he's doing now has evolved and he's looking back.
Nelly
As a songwriter, pop music really is a love and a joy and a science, and I feel like a lot of people look at pop music with a very formulaic perspective in numbers and patterns, but an outsider would think that the process is very natural.
Halsey
The thing we look for everywhere is, you know, music that resonates with us. This is what moves me. And hopefully my music will move someone else.
Ian Brennan
Every music - except dance music, which is for dancing, I suppose - is for the spirit of the human being, and not for the body.
Klaus Schulze
Ash Ra Tempel
I think you can soften people's hearts, even if they have a lot of hate. Music can do that if it's beautiful and honest. If I can do that - soften just one person's heart - I consider myself successful already.
