  • music is.....a language
  • a creative release that is given to us, sometimes music can feel like everything and then there are times when making music is not meaningful when thought is on other ones in the world who suffer being poor and starvation

    mostly its a vehicle , a very important powerful vehicle that can touch the world in a huge way, obviously it wont blow up all the weapons but at this point only jesus in my opinion can do it

    i keep raising my right hand and poofing out the holy spirit of jesus but people just keep on sucking
    it sucks

    im sure these prayers are miracles in some way but i cant see it or understand it today, maybe tomorrow

    please some child take over for a few

  • here's a new one i found :)

    bono's words:
    "all good music is either running towards God or running away from GOd"


    i like that one :)

    the belief that a single held and carried note can convey a lifetime of storied wealth; that a bevy of notes can carry the weight of a single word.

    I'm stepping in front of the gushing hydrant in a hurricane. I'd like to see the traction I keep.
  • good one setaside2 :)


    i heard a sting interview yesterday and he said this....

    "music is...it's own reward"


    then he went on to talk about no matter how big or small music is, it's very powerful. whether their is an audience of 1 or 10,000.
  • Music is so subjective that no one is going to hear exactly what you hear-- and most of us hear what we plan on hearing....

    i stole this one from another list i'm on ;)

    the sound of the earth,
    breathing to its own beat,
    in its own rhythm
    in harmonious voice with
    all living things
    everywhere.

  • nice one phishgod...thanks for that :)


    In a cover story on guitarist Pat Metheny in the
    December 2003 downbeat, that article closed on page 44 with a quote from Pat:

    "When people make a list of what jazz must be, I try
    to get as far away from those requirements as possible," Metheny says. "Jazz isn't a noun. It's a verb. It's a process, a way of being, a way of thinking. That's why I'll resist to my dying day any efforts to turn jazz into aform of music in the same way you refer to Baroque as a style. Jazz is music that demands
    change."



    here's another that Dick Clark said...

    "music is the soundtrack to our lives"
  • Music is the semiotic, the pulsion, the fluidity of communication we store in the pre-linguistic chora of the transcendent Imaginary; it bubbles and baubles and bursts diaphanous radiating waves of being beyond all forms....language cannot hold it like a vessel.... it rebels, revels, joyously, ecstatically, says the unsayable, reaches beyond and expands the outreaches of orgasm, the outreaches of universes, the beginning and end of time.....


    cassia's colorgasmic excitations

    and the words that transcend are the words finding musical magical meandering patterns of meaning ecstatically yearning

    for

    jouissance

    The whole problem can be stated quite simply by asking, 'Is there a meaning to music?' My answer would be, 'Yes.' And 'Can you state in so many words what the meaning is?' My answer to that would be, 'No.'
    Aaron Copland (1900 - 1990)
    It was a dream, not a nightmare. A beautiful dream I could never imagined in a thousand nods. I saw this girl next to me, she wasn't beautiful until she smiled. And I felt that smile come at me in heat waves following. Soaking through my body and out my finger tips in shafts of color. And I knew somewhere in the world, somewhere, that there was love for me.

    i like this thread...
    what that old horn blower said about "if you don't live it, it wont come out of your horn" that is so incredibly true, and probably the reason why i can't do covers...

    and i really like the Carey quote, too

    whatever it is, it is delightful :)
    It's all yellow.

  • first a HUGE thanks to all who have contributed to this thread. i come here for inspiration and you have all helped me.

    music is..."medicine for the soul", or how about, "soul food"
    or "ear candy"

    those are originals ;)

    those kinda sum up what music is to me. we are all so very lucky to have so much wonderful music surrounding our lives. pearl jam's music continues to inspire. there has never been been a valley, just a huge crest, on a really big wave.

    Music is GOOD.

    good like wood.

    Music is NICE.

    nice like spice.



    --original. Except for "good like wood". Will Ferrell said that. But he didn't say it about music.
