Hark, now hear the sailors cry, smell the sea, and feel the sky let your soul & spirit fly, into the mystic.
These are the days of the endless summer, these are the days, the time is now. There is no past, there's only future, there's only here, there's only now.
Have I told you lately that I love you, have I told you lately there's no one above you. Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness, ease my troubles, that's what you do.
You gotta fight every day to keep mediocrity at bay.
Music is spiritual. The music business is not.
The envious die not once, but as oft as the envied win applause.
All art is a kind of confession.
I love it, I hate it, it's ecstasy when I'm writing well, it's despair when I'm not. I wouldn't wish this life on anyone, nor would I, could I, ever give it up.
In other words, I'm not intending to start from things that require a five-year development time.
