“With a lot of what we take to be true feelings, especially on pop records, we feel them because they're cleverly crafted. And because the words are written by somebody who knows how to craft words and draw on those things and convey those feelings. That doesn't mean they're dishonest. But it also doesn't mean that it's all just pure primitive emotion spilling out.” KnowsFeelsMeanFeelingsEmotionKnow HowRecordsWrittenPureDrawsPopsBeing TrueCraftsPrimitiveSpillingTrue Feelings Author:David Byrne

“Technology is mechanical and contrary to the emotions that inform a person's life. The country music field has especially been hit hard by this. All my songs have been written by people who went out of fashion years ago. Just like da Vinci and Renoir and van Gogh. Nobody paints like that anymore. But it can't be wrong to try.” PeopleTryingYearsPersonsHas BeensCountryHardSongEmotionTechnologyWrittenFashionFieldsYears AgoPaintContraryVansRenoir Author:Bob Dylan
“I think one of the most wonderful things we can do as performers is to remind audiences that they can still relate to the emotions and feelings, as though the music had been written yesterday.” ThinkingStillsFeelingsCan DoEmotionAudienceWonderfulWrittenYesterdayRelatePerformersWonderful Things Author:David Finckel
“There are certain scenes, certain hills and valleys and groves of pines which demand that a story shall be written about them. I would refine; I would say that the emotions aroused by these external things reverberating in the heart are indeed the story; or all that signifies the story....We translate a hill into a tale, conceive lovers to explain a brook, turn the perfect into the imperfect.” HeartStoriesCertainTurnsPerfectEmotionWrittenLoversSceneDemandTalesHillsValleysImperfectTranslateBrooksGroveHills And Valleys Author:Arthur Machen
