Music is the most powerful thing on this earth, and it's hard to be angry when you are listening to music.
Under the spell of the right song, passion is within reach... love is close by... and you are not alone! With such potency, music should be treated with care. The sound, the feel, the presentation... everything! It is a medicine. It is a teacher!
I wanna make music that helps people.
My Bandcamp had a lot of bad and good music, but I relied on that to sort my feelings. My sadness will always be there, even in the happiness.
Striving to make music that empowers people as opposed to making them feel like they're being beaten down every single day is so important.
I was always that girl who loved music and thought of music as an escape route.
I know what makes me connect to my music - it is knowing that I am not alone in my feelings and my thoughts.
I wanted to prove the sustaining power of music.
If you pour some music on whatever's wrong, it'll sure help out.
My music is a gift from God that saved my life.
From a guy that still doesn't have his foot in the world, I feel pretty grounded as long as I have music.
Music is such a balm. Always has been. It's such a heartbeat, like blood thrumming through the womb. That's why music appeals to people.
I have read and heard so many stories from people all around the world describing how they've found their own reason to believe through Arch Enemy, and that genuinely inspires me and keeps me going.
Music was your real passion, this thing you held dear even above family. It was this relationship that never betrayed you. Once it became your job - this thing that was highly visible, this thing that became about commerce - that's when you were holding onto music like it was a palm tree in a hurricane.
Music in New Orleans has always been the heartbeat that drives the city. It was that even before Katrina, and that's what we had to rely on after the storm.
As a child I always wanted to be a singer. The music my mother played in the house moved me - Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Mahalia Jackson. It was truly spiritual. It made you understand what God was. We are all spirits. We get depressed. But music makes you want to live. I know my music has saved my life.
Music is my shining light, my favorite thing in the world. T get me to stop doing it for one second would be difficult!
Let's keep the music with us. We'll always have it.
I think music is one of the hero/sheroes of the African-American existence.
When a fan says, 'Man, you saved my life; I heard 'Jungleland'... and I cried... and I felt joy in my life again,' that's my hall of fame.
Musicians keep playing when the lights go out, when people are suffering, confused, or angry.
I believe there are certain things that God uses to get us out of a bad situation, and I believe music was one of the things he used for me.
Music has been my real solace. And that's why I play music. And that's why I'm so determined, or have been so determined to pursue what I wanted to do, come what may.
I like to think that my music allows people that cathartic cry.
The thing is that I always consider myself lucky that I can actually cry listening to some music.
