#music

"The cat hair floated in the air like a sound vibration, and I plucked it like a guitar string. Sometimes I can be so musical I’m like a living love song."

"If you were music, I would listen to you ceaselessly, and my low spirits would brighten up."

"If I had my life to live over again, I would have made a rule to read some poetry and listen to some music at least once every week."

"Music is the literature of the heart; it commences where speech ends."

"Music is the language of the heart. It can only sing songs of love."

"Teach me to dance and I'll show you how to make love to music. The first 30 minutes are free, but after that I'm gonna have to charge you."

"Then the singing enveloped me. It was furry and resonant, coming from everyone's very heart. There was no sense of performance or judgment, only that the music was breath and food."

"I heard a song I hate and I thought of her. Ah, such is love."

"I put the sing in single—especially when I’m in the shower. Does anybody have any requests they’d like to shout out while the water’s getting hot? As always, silence all cell phones during the duration of my performance."

"We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once."

"I want the gift of a guitar—no strings attached. I want your love to also have no strings attached—and be just as musical."

"Beautiful music is the art of the prophets that can calm the agitations of the soul; it is one of the most magnificent and delightful presents God has given us."

"To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about, but the music the words make."

"I think there’s no greater joy than completing a song out of thin air. It’s like inventing something, but it’s invisible, you know? It’s weird. It amazes me. You can send it out in the world, and that’s the joy. It’s like giving birth to all these songs and letting them go like they’re your kids."

"V-Day…if you need this one day in a year to show everyone else you truly care for “your loved one” I think it’s quite stupid. I hate this commercialism. It’s all artificial, and has nothing to do with real love."

"I love live music and I love to see people's faces when I'm performing."

"The pianokeys are black and whitebut they sound like a million colors in your mind"

"because some thingssometimesaren't ours to hold,but just beautiful to listen to."

"I'm a fountain of blood. In the shape of a girl."

"I know I love her, because when I see her my heart beats like a drum. If she played guitar and sang, we could start a band."
