Danh ngôn thuộc danh mục: music

It's always been a gift with me, hearing music the way I do. I don't know where it comes from, it's just there and I don't question it.

I know what I've done for music, but don't call me a legend. Just call me Miles Davis.

The music I was really listening to in 1968 was James Brown, the great guitar player Jimi Hendrix, and a new group... Sly and the Family Stone, led by Sly Stewart from San Francisco.

I worked with Jack Nitzsche for 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,' and we'd booked a symphony orchestra. He dismissed them and came with a little man who poured water into glasses of different sizes to make a glass harmonica. And most of the music for the film was that - with some Indian flutes and some drums.

Long intros are cool because there's a little bit of anticipation, you know?

Music should be your escape.

I want kids of this generation to see that everything is cool, that there's some kind of unity in hip-hop. We all found something that's really important to us, and music is all we've really got.

I don't care about making anything new. I make music to express an emotion, and if the emotion is nostalgic, so be it.

Music was the one thing that was just mine, and no one could take it from me. I created it, dictated it, and it made me not able to let go of it.

I remember I took a music course in junior year of high school, and some girl brought in 'Teardrops On My Guitar,' and she was like, 'Isn't this song great?' And everyone was like, 'Who's Taylor Swift?' And now, every time I listen to Taylor Swift, I remember that moment.

As a New Yorker you can't help but be proud of the fact that so much music and culture started here. Punk rock, jazz, hip-hop and house music started here, George Gershwin debuted 'Rhapsody in Blue' here; the Velvet Underground are from New York.

When playing big festivals, I tend to play big, over the top techno tracks, like hands in the air songs that make sense being played in front of 30,000 people. I steer away from subtlety in the interests of big bombastic dance music.

I wrote 'Love Foolish,' and when I heard the music for the first time, it felt like this was a song that Twice hadn't done before. I thought the song and music had a very mature tone, so I wrote the lyrics to match. I was inspired by the music directly.

When I was a teenager, I began to settle into school because I'd discovered the extracurricular activities that interested me: music and theater.

The Smiths was an incredibly personal thing to me. It was like launching your own diary to music.

I have no love for myself as a human being, but I have immense pride in the music I make.

Music is the voice that tells us that the human race is greater than it knows.

White people couldn't do black music back in the day because they weren't funky or bad enough. They weren't from the ghettoes, but hip-hop and R&B changed all of that because white kids want to be down with it. They wanted to learn it so they studied the culture. It's kind of a cool thing because we shouldn't be so separate.

Hip-hop is the streets. Hip-hop is a couple of elements that it comes from back in the days... that feel of music with urgency that speaks to you. It speaks to your livelihood and it's not compromised. It's blunt. It's raw, straight off the street - from the beat to the voice to the words.

My earliest memories of rap music was mixed with my earliest memories of reggae music. They were big sounds around the way, heavy bass lines, strong messages, definitely.

Wherever I go with my life, even the good times and the bad parts, only two people are with me: God and my music.

The people who know nothing about music are the ones always talking about it.

Jazz is smooth and cool. Jazz is rage. Jazz flows like water. Jazz never seems to begin or end. Jazz isn't methodical, but jazz isn't messy either. Jazz is a conversation, a give and take. Jazz is the connection and communication between musicians. Jazz is abandon.

I love blasting good music on the Bluetooth speakers through my phone.

I feel like folk music is almost like an old recipe that is passed on from generation to generation.

There is a section of people who love fast food kind of music but there is also a sizable number of people who love the good old music of the '60s, '70s and '80s.

Ladies and gentleman, I've suffered for my music, now it's your turn.

Live music is better.

All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock, I don't subscribe to any of that. It's all just music. I mean, the heavy metal from the '70s sounds nothing like the stuff from the '80s, and that sounds nothing like the stuff from the '90s. Who's to say what is and isn't a certain type of music?

I have absorbed my life now. I am ready for my music to unfold. I know time flies, but before the end of this year, the album will be out. Even if it kills me.

The way you pronounce words the Puerto Rico way, it's not really global for music. Colombians speak some of the best Spanish in the world. So having a Colombian next to me every time I write makes my music more international.

Writing screenplays makes me a better musician because it clears my head. After writing a movie, I go running back to music as fast as I can.

I don't listen to music. I don't watch television, I don't read.

I don't like rap music at all. I don't think it's music. It's just a beat and rapping.

Jazz is a white term to define black people. My music is black classical music.

I had spent many years pursuing excellence, because that is what classical music is all about... Now it was dedicated to freedom, and that was far more important.

I guess many game music fans prefer original soundtrack albums.

Extraordinary how potent cheap music is.

Music is a thing that changes people's lives. It has the capacity to make young people's lives better.

Great music is in the ear of the beholder.

When wheat is ripening properly, when the wind is blowing across the field, you can hear the beards of the wheat rubbing together. They sound like the pine needles in a forest. It is a sweet, whispering music that once you hear, you never forget.

I had to listen to the classical music because it calms me down, calms my nerves down.

Music evokes so many feelings in us, memories, nostalgia, things that are connected to our past.

All the sounds of the earth are like music.

If one plays good music, people don't listen and if one plays bad music people don't talk.

What is this? It's music to get a brain seizure by.

All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock, I don't subscribe to any of that. It's all just music. I mean, the heavy metal from the Seventies sounds nothing like the stuff from the Eighties, and that sounds nothing like the stuff from the Nineties. Who's to say what is and isn't a certain type of music?

Music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart.

Music will save the world.

Life is like music, it must be composed by ear, feeling and instinct, not by rule. Nevertheless one had better know the rules, for they sometimes guide in doubtful cases, though not often.
