Chord Quotes

Even if chords are simple, they should rub. They should have dissonances in them. I’ve always used a lot of alternate bass lines, suspensions, widely spaced voicings. Dfferent textures to get very warm chords. Sometimes you’re setting up strange chords by placing a chord in front of it that’s going to set it off like a diamond in a gold band. It’s not just finding interesting chords, it’s how you sequence them, like stringing together pearls on a string... Interesting chords will compel interesting melodies. It’s very hard to write a boring melody to an interesting chord sequence Picture Quote #1

Sometimes an unexpected chord change can be the difference between a good song and a great song Picture Quote #1

There is a chord in every heart that has a sigh in it if touched aright Picture Quote #1

Playing octaves was just a coincidence. And it’s still such a challenge, like chord versions, block chords like cats play on piano. There are a lot of things that can be done with it, but each is a field of its own. I used to have headaches every time I played octaves, because it was extra strain, but the minute I’d quit I’d be all right. But now I don’t have headaches when I play octaves Picture Quote #1

I just couldn’t take school seriously: I had this guitar neck with four frets which I kept hidden under the desk. It had strings on it so I would practice my chord shapes under the desk and that’s about all I did at school Picture Quote #1

I had to learn chord shapes. I bought books with chord charts. I used to listen to all kinds of pop music Picture Quote #1

It’s tough to play the right chord on the instrument when there’s someone out there who wants to kill you Picture Quote #1

I tend to like songs that are very emotional, that strike a chord with me emotionally Picture Quote #1

The jazz chord substitutions in a country song... that was another thing that bent people’s ears. I guess that my favorites are the unique ones. It’s not how fast you play. It’s that unique blending of different stuff I’m most proud of Picture Quote #1

Sometimes when you make a film you can go away for three months and then come back and live your life. But this struck a much deeper chord. I don’t have the ability yet to speak about it in an objective Picture Quote #1

When you have 13 horns, and one is soloing, you have 12 people to play the richest, fullest chord you could ever imagine behind that solo Picture Quote #1

I wonder if anyone else has an ear so tuned and sharpened as I have, to detect the music, not of the spheres, but of Earth, subtleties of major and minor chord that the wind strikes upon the tree branches. Have you ever heard the Earth breathe? Picture Quote #1

It was a feeling which he had seen before in his mother; but no chord within vibrated to it Picture Quote #1

These characters were like twelve bar blues or other chord progressions. Given the basic parameters of Batman, different creators could play very different music Picture Quote #1

Universitas in modo citharae sit disposita, in qua diversa genera in modo chordarum sit consonantia. The universe is arranged like a cithera, in which different kinds of things sound together harmoniously, just as they do in a chord Picture Quote #1

Real work is completed in silence and strikes a chord in the minds of only a very few Picture Quote #1

... there are chords in every human heart. If we only knew how to strike the right chord, we would bring out the music Picture Quote #1

Matter exploded into being, apparently as chaos, but in fact as a chord. The ultimate power chord Picture Quote #1

There are millions of chords. There are millions of numbers. And everyone forgets the one that is a zero. But without the zero, numbers are just arithmetic. Without the empty chord, music is just noise Picture Quote #1

I always think of each night as a song. Or each moment as a song. But now I’m seeing we don’t live in a single song. We move from song to song, from lyric to lyric, from chord to chord. There is no ending here. It’s an infinite playlist Picture Quote #1

One chord is fine. Two chords are pushing it. Three chords and you’re into jazz Picture Quote #1

You can’t always write a chord ugly enough to say what you want to say, so sometimes you have to rely on a giraffe filled with whipped cream Picture Quote #1

I don’t look at a knife the way I used to. I’m more aware of what it is. I think twice. This is a key finger. It’s in every chord Picture Quote #1

The world is never quiet, even its silence eternally resounds with the same notes, in vibrations which escape our ears. As for those that we perceive, they carry sounds to us, occasionally a chord, never a melody Picture Quote #1

I had a love affair with books, with characters and their words. Books kept me company. When the voices of the book faded, as with the last long chord of a record, the back cover crinkling closed, I could swear I heard a door click shut Picture Quote #1

Every person, every race, every nation, has its own particular keynote which it brings to the general chord of life and of humanity Picture Quote #1

Vanity is easily forgiven, for we are all vain, and even as we laugh at the weakness of others we feel that their vanity has touched the responding chord of our own Picture Quote #1

The music comes first, like, 99 percent of the time. I come up with the basic chord structure and the melody first and then I get really obsessed with arranging, adding, and subtracting parts. The last step of the process, for me, is finding words that fit into that structure and figuring out exactly what I want to talk about Picture Quote #1

Sometimes images may emerge from some chord in my subconscious, the way a dream might. Even in those paintings where an image unconsciously develops, a certain kind of experience is usually necessary in order to perceive it Picture Quote #1

The first thing that inspires any song is a chord progression. When I have one I really like, I get into the lyrics even more Picture Quote #1
