Music Quotes
Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Berthold Auerbach
The music itself, I suppose, is the thing that will survive in my memory, happily.
Brad Mehldau
My music definitely comes from a place of experience. Everything connects to a truth.
Frank Ocean
Everyone's attention span is getting shorter. As a result, everything - films, music, art - gets watered down and dumber. Every now and again, you get something great, but not often.
Kelis Rogers
I did psychology at university, but I wouldn't say that my music is too influenced by it. The way I make music is a little more to do with an emotional connection. When I compose the melodies for my tracks, it always comes from the heart.

There's a bit of a new guard of contemporary classical musicians in New York, and we play a lot of different kinds of music together. We do pop studio sessions, and we'll also play John Cage and more avant-garde work. We're developing a language of music that comes with a lot of different styles, different kinds of work.
Caroline Shaw
The public doesn't want new music; the main thing it demands of a composer is that he be dead.
Arthur Honegger
I think it is helpful having a history other than playing music. We've toured a lot together, hung out a lot. So, we knew each other pretty well before we ever got together, which is important. You could probably call on the greatest studio musicians in the world and it doesn't mean they can work together.
James Patrick Keeler
The Afghan Whigs
I don't take anything for granted; awards and all that go with it are very nice, and it's nice to get a positive response, but for me, it's about the music. I don't make music to win awards. I make music for the people.

That's what I love. Not being interrupted, sitting in a car by myself and listening to music in the rain. There are so many great songs yet to sing.
Alison Krauss
Everything evolves, not just music.
Chris Lane
I do feel pressure from the outside world a little bit just because everybody wants new music, which is really nice. It just proves that everybody likes what I'm doing. But at the same time, I feel like it's important to just chill and experience things and really make the songs true to me.
Alessia Cara
I think the first thing that you need to detach yourself from is numbers, because music has now splintered off into so many different forms of media, MTV doesn't play videos, the radio is now competing with the Internet.
Adam Levine
Maroon 5
For people trying to set a tone, communicate a message and set themselves apart, it makes a lot of sense to put music at the heart of that.
Andy Cato
