“It's hard to tell / if we close our eyes or if night / opens in us other starred eyes, / if it burrows into the wall of our dream / till some other door opens. / But the dream is only the flitting costume of one moment, / is spent in one beat / of the darkness, / and falls at our feet, cast off / as the day stirs and sails away with us.” IfsHardMomentsDreamEyeNightFallSleepDarknessDoorsFeetWallBeatsCastsSailCostumesOur Dreams Author:Pablo Neruda

“Fish slowly and thoroughly. Haste never paid dividends. Never wory about the fellow ahead of you. If you start racing to get ahaead of him, he'll probably try to beat you, and from then on it will be nothing but a foot-race instead of a contemplative and inspiring recreation.” IfsTryingRaceSeaFeetBeatsRiversPaidFellowsFishesBoatLakesFishingRacingHasteRecreationContemplativeDividends Author:Ray Bergman
“Love it, love it and the beat and beating heart, love that too. More than eyes or feet. More than lungs that have yet to draw free air.

“I have pictures of me sitting in the racquetball court in my pajamas with an acoustic guitar, and Wolfgang is probably just two-and-a-half-feet tall. I'll never forget the day I saw his foot tapping along in beat! I knew then, I couldn't wait for the day I'd be able to make music with my son.

“I always challenged men, you know, in foot races or whatever as a kid growing up, because it was a way of pushing myself and challenging myself against the best - but you have to know and accept that men are born with testosterone.

“We who have seen him now, light on his feet, smooth moving as a leopard, a young man with an old man's science, the most beautiful fighting machine I have ever seen, may live to see him fat, slow, old, and bald taking a beating from a younger man.

“My two young producers, Fernando Perdomo and Chris Price, had to explain to me that there's a division right now between the two sides. They took three living, breathing percussionists to do the beats on the song "Intensity". We've got all kinds of layers, because I kept saying we didn't get all the beats. If you hear a synth, it's because I put my foot down. But I had to fight for it because they wanted it all totally organic.” IfsKindTwoWantedYoungSongFightingThreeSidesFeetRight NowBeatsProducersAll KindsBreathingDivisionIntensityLayersTwo Sides Author:Linda Perhacs
