Music Quotes
In the beginning we were creating our music, ourselves, every night . . . starting with a few outlines, maybe a few words for a song. Sometimes we worked out in Venice, looking at the surf. We were together a lot and it was good times for all of us. Acid, sun, friends, the ocean, and poetry and music.
Jim Morrison
The Doors
In a way, all recorded music is reduced to the same level, no matter what it is. You find it in the store, you put it on and, "Oh, that's not cool. That's gangsta rap. That's white supremacist punk." But in a way, the content is removed from the intention of the people that made it. That's the commercial level of music.
Eyvind Kang
I always looked up to great actors and great films. A lot of my family would be like, 'Come on, you should get into these plays that are going on.' I'm like, 'Nah, nah, music's my thing.' I just fell into it. I moved to Atlanta, got with an agency out there, started doing little voiceover commercials, and it started getting kind of fun.
Jacob Latimore
In the end, for me, music is such an internal thing that to let the outside world influence would be against my modus operandi.
Kevin Parker
Tame Impala
For me, jazz offers so much freedom in the way the music can be interpreted. It's natural to me. It's where I feel most free.
Cyrille Aimee
I don't think music should be played anywhere near politics. The two don't go together.
Leon Redbone
The greatest productions of art, whether painting, music, sculpture or poetry, have invariably this quality-something approaching the work of God.
D. T. Suzuki
I could have continued to get into trouble, but I wanted to do something positive with myself - and music is the best way.
Sonny Sandoval
P.O.D.
It's very tough for a woman in the music business, and he really was such a motivator from the beginning, when I was super-shy, and he saw a lot in me on a personal level that he knew could carry through on the stage.
Gloria Estefan
Miami Sound Machine
She knew this man's smile, his gentle ways of love, but not his godlike fury in the storm. She might snare him in a fragile net of music, love and flowers, but, at each departure, he would break forth without, it seemed to her, the least regret.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
We're not trying to change the world; just music.
Jonathan Davis
I think comparisons are very on the surface. If I sing, like, 'Park Bench People,' and there's kind of a social undertone, people will say I sound like Gil Scott-Heron. But for me, the more insightful comparison would be a Roberta Flack or Nina Simone - people who really mix different genres of music.
Jose James
