3 December 2020 Martin Luther 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.
3 December 2020 Lauryn Hill I don’t need anybody to market or promote me. If people don’t want to hear this music, then it’s not for them. You cannot please everybody.
3 December 2020 Buddy Rich I think the drummer should sit back there and play some drums, and never mind about the tunes. Just get up there and wail behind whoever is sitting up there playing the solo. And this is what is lacking, definitely lacking in music today.
3 December 2020 Maynard James Keenan I just hope that our fans are people who are inspired by music, and just use our music as a background or inspiration for whatever it is they do.
3 December 2020 Bryan Ferry Secretly, I wanted to look like Jimi Hendrix, but I could never quite pull it off.
3 December 2020 Marilyn vos Savant Teens think listening to music helps them concentrate. It doesn’t. It relieves them of the boredom that concentration on homework induces.
3 December 2020 Brian Eno Agressive music can only shock you once. Afterwards its impact declines. It’s inevitable.
3 December 2020 Brian Eno The lyrics are constructed as empirically as the music. I don’t set out to say anything very important.
3 December 2020 Van Morrison You can’t stay the same. If you’re a musician and a singer, you have to change, that’s the way it works.
3 December 2020 Robert Plant I’m just lucky because my kids are grown-up – I love them, very proud of them, and we are in close contact as big-time friends, but they don’t need me that much now and I can actually enjoy this wonderful world of music.
3 December 2020 Joan Jett I’ve done some acting and a lot of different things, but mostly it’s the music.
3 December 2020 B. B. King I’ve said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie Ray Vaughan missed on both counts, but I never noticed.
3 December 2020 Ludwig van Beethoven Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears form the eyes of woman.
3 December 2020 Felix Mendelssohn Though everything else may appear shallow and repulsive, even the smallest task in music is so absorbing, and carries us so far away from town, country, earth, and all worldly things, that it is truly a blessed gift of God.
3 December 2020 Sting I have a big problem with piped music. I like either silence or to listen to it properly.
3 December 2020 Beth Ditto Starting out really punk came from not knowing any better and listening to music like that, not knowing how to play music – well, still not knowing how to play music.
3 December 2020 Norah Jones It’s true, there’s a lot of melancholy in my music. I don’t know why, I’m not a melancholy person. I’ve always been drawn to it. Ever since I was a kid, if I had an album I would play the ballads on repeat.
3 December 2020 Bobby Vinton Times were changing. Clothes were changing. Morals were changing. We went from romantic loves songs like I used to do to rock ‘n roll. Now that has changed to rap. So, there’s always a new generation with new music.
3 December 2020 Vladimir Nabokov My loathings are simple: stupidity, oppression, crime, cruelty, soft music.
3 December 2020 Will Smith My skin is hard when it comes to my music. But with my movies, I’m still a virgin in a lot of ways. I’m not used to being shot down for no reason.
3 December 2020 Jerry Cantrell Our music’s kind of about taking something ugly and making it beautiful.
3 December 2020 Neil Young The ’60s was one of the first times the power of music was used by a generation to bind them together.
3 December 2020 Erykah Badu The music business is motivated by money. Music is motivated by energy and feelings.
3 December 2020 Jam Master Jay I remember when I was coming up, the music stores where you could get guitar strings was where I got my records from. Now the place where you get your records from is where you can get your DJ mats and your mixers.
3 December 2020 David Bowie On the other hand, what I like my music to do to me is awaken the ghosts inside of me. Not the demons, you understand, but the ghosts.
