Music is the refuge of souls ulcerated by happiness.
The music is not the truth.
Music is my passion. It's my priority. I love it.
For me the music is a vehicle for my lyrics. It's a chance to get some really good words across.
Music is first, lyrics are secondary.
I started making music because I could.
The point is to let the music be itself. If it doesn't mean anything to you, then it's bullsh*t.
Music is for sharing with people.
The music is huge. I consider it a privilege to do what I do, turn people on to music and tell them about issues.
Music is part of us, and either ennobles or degrades our behavior.
The music is mine. Theres nothing to hide behind. Thats where you see the real person.
Music is nothing but unconscious arithmetic.
The challenges change depending on the song. There are some songs where the lyrics are really a challenge and then there are other songs where the lyrics are there and the music is a challenge. And then you've got rock songs where the challenge is the tightness of the arrangement with the band. The music and the lyrics are there, but it's a challenge to get the arrangement correct. So I wouldn't be able to point to one thing. What the challenge is changes all of the time.
A lot of the time I tend to overlook the music because I'm listening to how it's produced.
Music is something to live for. It is just for me, nobody else can take away from me. It makes me so happy and I can rely on it completely - it'll always be there!
Music isn’t just music, it’s therapy.
Music is the mirror of reality.
Spirituality is worthless if it's not practical. Music is my work. I am a musician.
My intent for EPs - and, really, my philosophy on my music - is that every single song has to be worth it.
Country music is about new love and it's about old love.
