I like songs that sound like classics. There are songs that might be cooler or have better production, but I like songs that sound like they're timeless.
Patrick Melrose' is a frantically accurate exploration of the addict mind tormented by trauma, magnificently brought to life by Benedict Cumberbatch. At its core, it is a story that has a timeless quality with echoes of Cervantes.
Someone like Jay-Z does have a timeless quality, but it's much different than ours. You can look back at something like "At the Hop" by Danny and the Juniors or the music that was on American Bandstand in the 1950s-'60s.
I'm a producer first, and I know music, so I can jump on any song, whether it's pop or urban, without changing me. Whatever I do, I'm gonna make it classic.
This wine is forty years old. It certainly doesn't show its age.
[N]othing about a book is so unmistakable and so irreplaceable as the stamp of the cultured mind. I don't care what the story is about or what may be the momentary craze for books that appear to have been hammered out by the village blacksmith in a state of intoxication; the minute you get the easy touch of the real craftsman with centuries of civilisation behind him, you get literature.
Nothing lasts forever, but old Fords and a natural stone.
I'm a fanatic about Irish music. I love its moody, modal and timeless quality. I'm different from some other composers, because I don't look at this as just a job. I think of music as art.
Anything Drake drops is timeless. It's always timeless, it's always lit.
People like me, like Karen Elson and Soo Joo, we're a very specific woman with a very specific look. I think that's also why we last longer. There's no one else like us.
Shaw writes as if it were always midday.
A classic is classic not because it conforms to certain structural rules, or fits certain definitions (of which its author had quite probably never heard). It is classic because of a certain eternal and irrepressible freshness.
Things change, but they stay the same.
Few things surpass old wine; and they may preach Who please, the more because they preach in vain
The eternal task of song can never be finished in a single lifetime. That is the beauty and fascination of the art. Once you begin to phrase finely, you will feel more joy in the beautiful finish of a beautiful phrase than that caused by the loudest applause of an immense audience. The latter excites for a moment; the former endures forever.
I'm a fine wine: I just get better with age. Actually, I'm like the Benjamin Button of the Combine. The older I get, the younger I look and feel.
I like things that feel like they're timeless and really well made and tailored... things that make me feel confident when I leave the house.
I have this old '57 Porsche Speedster, and the way the door closes, I'll just sit there and listen to the sound of the latch going, 'cluh-CLICK-click.' That door! I live for that door. Whatever the opposite of planned obsolescence is, that's what I'm into.
My priciple is, the artist shall put forth, humbly & lovingly, without bitterness, the very best & highest that is within him,utterly regardless of contemporary criticism.
A classic is classic not because it conforms to certain structural rules, or fits certain definitions It is classic because of a certain eternal and irrepressible freshness.
Perpetual modernness is the measure of merit, in every work of art; since the author of it was not misled by anything short- livedor local, but abode by real and abiding traits.
There's a sort of eternal, indefinable 20th century quality to 'BTAS.' We never really pegged the decade, but it's anytime in the 20th century, so I often harkened back to things from the '40s or '50s.
Any artist who has that quality of timelessness has that quality because they tell the truth.
Good design is long-lasting! It avoids being fashionable and therefore never appears antiquated.
Music changes, but there's a timeless touch that we put to it, which I think is really important.
