Heya everyone, On this site, we’ve had a few music threads in the past so we’ve obviously got some great music fans on here. Would anyone be able to recommend any good quotes about music? I am currently making a short animated film for my uni degree about the evolution of music and rock culture as a universal language. Any quotes that talk about the spiritual or sacredness of music or how it affects us as humans would be extra appreciated, but any recommendations are welcome (it doesn’t have to come from just musicians specifically, any authors of any profession). Thanks :)
here is a fun one to start you off Harley

“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away”

“If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music, then in that respect you can call me that… I believe in what I do, and I’ll say it”

MUSIC CAN SERVE PEOPLE IN MANY WAYS.
THINKING BACK ON MY LIFE FROM AGE 15 TO 30 ROCK & ROLL WAS
A BIG PART OF MY LIFE,I OVERINDULGED SOMEWHAT THOUGH.
SOME DAYS I WAS JIM MORRISON,MICK JAGGER,NEIL YOUNG, JANIS JOPLIN
JAMES TAYLOR AND OTHERS.
HAVING SAID THAT,IT SERVED IT’S PURPOSE BUT AT SOME POINT I DECIDED
I DIDN’T NEED IT SO MUCH.
