Listening Quotes
To me, music is emotion and if when you're listening to it and it doesn't make you feel that, then it's not music.
Austin Robert Carlile

I learned in the computer game business early on that all senses are not equal. The best example is, you're listening to a radio play and you're driving down the road, and suddenly you realize you haven't seen the road in five minutes. It's because your visual cortex has been partying with your imagination, basically.
Brenda Laurel
I remember right after Carter got elected, I was sitting in my apartment in Albany, CA, on a Saturday listening to people call Carter and ask stupid questions while I designed the screen editor.
Bill Joy
I grew up listening to everything. And rock and roll has always been a big, big part of it - as big a part of what I do as any other type of music.
Jason Aldean
We were either listening to jazz or Robert Johnson, the old blues man, but not to our peers.
Butch Trucks
He was listening, too, for it is through the eyes and ears that one learns. A spiderweb of facts can tie up the lion of action; not to know is bad; not to strive to know is worse.

Growing up in a house where there was a lot of different musical influences - my mom listens to soul stuff and Top 40, my sisters would listen to hip-hop - and the church, I grew up listening to a lot of gospel stuff.

The subject matter covered in Carmina stays pretty basic: love, lust, the pleasures of drinking and the heightened moods evoked by springtime. These primitive and persistently relevant themes are nicely camouflaged by the Latin and old German texts, so the listener can actually feign ignorance while listening to virtually X-rated lyrics. (Veni Veni Venias! Come, come come now!)The music itself toggles between huge forces and a single voice, juxtaposing majesty and intimacy with ease.
Carl Orff
The people I always loved listening to had a little bit of dirt under their fingernails because they had done some living and had these stories to talk about.
Dierks Bentley
The key to acting - from what little I know about that wonderful craft - is listening, and interacting with the other person in order to achieve magic. One way to do that is almost to provoke.
James Gray
