Our Music Quotes

The oldest, truest, most beautiful organ of music, the origin to which alone our music owes its being, is the human voice Picture Quote #1

I think it’s important to really press on with the song writing and just go with it. There’s no code, there’s no craft... it’s just let yourself shine through your music. If it’s meant to be loved and heard, it’ll happen Picture Quote #1

And why is our music called world music? I think people are being polite. What they want to say is that it’s third world music. Like they use to call us under developed countries, now it has changed to developing countries, it’s much more polite Picture Quote #1

Before our albums are released I feel like we still own it, that we have control over our music. But once it’s out there in the world it’s no longer ours Picture Quote #1

We live in a connected world now. Some find that frightening. If people are downloading our music, they’re listening to it. The internet is like radio for us Picture Quote #1

By 1969, when I celebrated 45 years in the music business, I also had 45 people in our musical family Picture Quote #1

The fact that people still know us is, in my opinion, a result of our music and of the big money that runs the music industry today. The people who control the industry are accountants who recycle everything in new, nostalgic packages, and everything else, to make more money Picture Quote #1

I think it’s important, if you are an artist, to use your music to stand up for what you believe in Picture Quote #1

Part of the punk attitude was that you should project your music through your whole body... show your personality as much as possible Picture Quote #1

It’s nice to stay up nights worrying about the material, and not about the investors who gave you $10 million to do your musical Picture Quote #1

There’s this thing called compulsory licensing law that allows artists through the record companies to take your music at will without your permission Picture Quote #1

We are unraveling our navels so that we may ingest the sun. We are not afraid of the darkness. We trust that the moon shall guide us. We are determining the future at this very moment. We know that the heart is the philosopher’s stone. Our music is our alchemy Picture Quote #1

Each person comes to have this musical experience, this moment with us, where they get to sink into our world for a little while. It’s this very unhurried world. It’s fairly quiet, it’s contemplative, but it can be quite panoramic. I think people think interesting thoughts at our shows, and they go rather deeply into some personal experience of their own. I’m really proud that our music seems to connect, because it’s not for everybody. But for the people that our music works for, it really gets down pretty deep in there Picture Quote #1

Our music has depth, and attempts philosophical thought and meaning with discussions of infinity, eternity and mortality. There is a line which people cross that turns it into some magical, mystical realm, for which I don’t claim responsibility and don’t hold any great truck with Picture Quote #1

You always have in the back of your mind that would be cool if you get recognized. But you can’t concentrate on any of those things. You’ve got to just keep playing and doing your music and the rest is just a bonus Picture Quote #1

A musicians or artists responsibility is a simple one, and that is, through your music to tell the truth Picture Quote #1

Your music sounds better on the radio, for some reason. It’s an amazing feeling. I hope it never goes away Picture Quote #1

You can’t make your music good. You can’t try to be good. You can try to be present and you can try to remain open so what is going to speak to you can speak through you Picture Quote #1

Student loans are destroying the imagination of youth. If there’s a way of a society committing mass suicide, what better way than to take all the youngest, most energetic, creative, joyous people in your society and saddle them with, like $50,000 of debt so they have to be slaves? There goes your music. There goes your culture. There goes everything new that would pop out. And in a way, this is what’s happened to our society. We’re a society that has lost any ability to incorporate the interesting, creative and eccentric people Picture Quote #1

Motown was about music for all people – white and black, blue and green, cops and the robbers. I was reluctant to have our music alienate anyone Picture Quote #1

A lot of times I have the song inside of me and I have to fight to get it out. I’m a very visual person, so I can see the song but I can’t hear it. But I think that if your music becomes a war for it to happen, in the end there’s a certain kind of aggression in the music. And I think that’s a lot more interesting Picture Quote #1

We want to dedicate our music tonight to the great opportunity that we all have to begin to truly understand the events of the past few days and to act upon them with courage and with compassion as we make our plans to live in a completely new world Picture Quote #1

It would be important for someone to understand how much our music means to us. Our music comes first right now and hopefully for ever Picture Quote #1

Keep making music.. Keep improving your music.. If there’s no viral action on your music, you’re just not good enough. Don’t get mad at the audience, get mad at yourself. Either give up or get better Picture Quote #1

Comedy is a live art, and the only way to record a comedy rock album is to do it live. The audience and their laughter is just as much a part of the album sound as our music. No retakes, no room for error Picture Quote #1

Our music, whose eternal being is forever bound up in its temporal sounds, is not merely an art, enriching beyond measure our cultural life, but also a message from higher worlds, raising and urging us on by it’s reminders of our own eternal origins Picture Quote #1

You can’t sustain a fan base on a great catalog alone. You must take your music directly to the people Picture Quote #1

Videos have to go hand in hand with your music, so that’s why, ultimately, they should be created by the artist. And if they’re not, it doesn’t really add up to me Picture Quote #1

Don’t worry about what others say about your music. Pursue whatever you are hearing... but if everybody really hates your music maybe you could try some different approaches Picture Quote #1

It’s emotional blackmail to say if you’re a good businesswoman and a musician, you’re betraying your music Picture Quote #1
