Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make.
One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.
Music, at its essence, is what gives us memories. And the longer a song has existed in our lives, the more memories we have of it.
Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music.
Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.
If music be the food of love, play on.
What can a pencil do for all of us? Amazing things. It can write transcendent poetry, uplifting music, or life-changing equations; it can sketch the future, give life to untold beauty, and communicate the full-force of our love and aspirations.
The dance can reveal everything mysterious that is hidden in music, and it has the additional merit of being human and palpable. Dancing is poetry with arms and legs.
The world is full of poetry. The air is living with its spirit; and the waves dance to the music of its melodies, and sparkle in its brightness.
There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.
There's always a spattering of people who see Hanson who were influenced by classic '60's and '70's rock and roll. In a lot of ways, we're sort of the anatomy of a '70's rock band if you examine what we do: white guys who grew up listening to soul music from the '50's and '60's.
I believe it is in my nature to dance by virtue of the beat of my heart, the pulse of my blood and the music in my mind.

A lot of labels are hiring a lot more accountants than people that know music.
The Marathi film 'Natrang' has amazing songs. I also like and have sufi and folk music.
I think of music as creating a space. I like to put things in that are comforting to me and are nostalgic. To me, that's what sampling does in songs; it's making deeper layers for people who know where it comes from, but also referencing another part of my history and my memory or a memory that I have.
Feelings aroused by the touch of someone's hand, the sound of music, the smell of a flower, a beautiful sunset, a work of art, love, laughter, hope and faith — all work on both the unconscious and the conscious aspects of the self, and they have physiological consequences as well.
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
Hopefully, there's a place in music for Tinted Windows. If we're really trying to be iconic, we should just stop right now. If one of us could die, that would also help. But I don't think anybody wants that gig.
