3 December 2020 Brian Eno I got interested in the idea of music that could make itself, in a sense, in the mid 1960s really, when I first heard composers like Terry Riley, and when I first started playing with tape recorders.
3 December 2020 Jimmy Page I always believed in the music we did and that’s why it was uncompromising.
3 December 2020 Joan Jett I think what I’m going to do is get more balance in my life to still be able to go out and play the hard rock ‘n’ roll and do what I like to do in music.
3 December 2020 Elton John Music has healing power. It has the ability to take people out of themselves for a few hours.
3 December 2020 Andres Segovia The advice I am giving always to all my students is above all to study the music profoundly… music is like the ocean, and the instruments are little or bigger islands, very beautiful for the flowers and trees.
3 December 2020 Christina Aguilera Pop is actually my least favorite kind of music, because it lacks real depth.
3 December 2020 Gottfried Leibniz Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting.
3 December 2020 Victor Hugo Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.
3 December 2020 Joan Jett I like to hang out with my friends. I love music. I like to go to the movies. I like to eat. I like to cook.
3 December 2020 Fred Durst I love jazz music and sad music. I’m a sentimental guy. I’m a romantic guy.
3 December 2020 Paul Hindemith People who make music together cannot be enemies, at least while the music lasts.
3 December 2020 William Lyon Phelps Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good plays, good company, good conversation – what are they? They are the happiest people in the world.
3 December 2020 Freddie Mercury I was never too keen on the British music press. They’ve called us a supermarket hype, and they used to suggest that we didn’t write our own songs.
3 December 2020 Bruce Springsteen I always wanted my music to influence the life you were living emotionally – with your family, your lover, your wife, and, at a certain point, with your children.
3 December 2020 Steve Martin I feel good about being able to take bluegrass on to television like ‘Letterman’ and ‘The View,’ and I’ve heard nice things about being able to do that. I really haven’t felt any negativity toward me or my music.
3 December 2020 John Philip Sousa From childhood I was passionately fond of music and wanted to be a musician. I have no recollection of any real desire ever to be anything else.
3 December 2020 David Bowie I had to resign myself, many years ago, that I’m not too articulate when it comes to explaining how I feel about things. But my music does it for me, it really does.
3 December 2020 Adam Lambert I think the difficult thing is the transition between TV competition series and going into the actual music industry. There still seems to be a slight disconnect there.
3 December 2020 Nick Rhodes You listen to a piece of music and it will remind you of something – it might make you happy, it might make you sad, but it is very emotive. And I think that Duran Duran have always understood that.
3 December 2020 Ray Charles Music’s been around a long time, and there’s going to be music long after Ray Charles is dead. I just want to make my mark, leave something musically good behind. If it’s a big record, that’s the frosting on the cake, but music’s the main meal.
3 December 2020 David Byrne With music, you often don’t have to translate it. It just affects you, and you don’t know why.
3 December 2020 John Cusack Do I listen to pop music because I’m miserable or am I miserable because listen to pop music?
3 December 2020 Fiona Apple The way I feel about music is that there is no right and wrong. Only true and false.
3 December 2020 Gabriel Marcel But however measurable, there is much more life in music than mathematics or logic ever dreamed of.
