“Of what use is the universe? What is the practical application of a million galaxies? Yet just because it has no use, it has a use - which may sound like a paradox, but is not. What, for instance, is the use of playing music? If you play to make money, to outdo some other artist, to be a person of culture, or to improve your mind, you are not really playing - for your mind is not on the music. You don't swing. When you come to think of it, playing or listening to music is a pure luxury, an addiction, a waste of valuable time and money for nothing more than making elaborate patterns of sound.” IfsThinkingMindMayPersonsPlayUseArtistCultureUniverseSoundMillionsListeningPureWasteMusic IsAddictionPatternsValuablePracticalsInstanceLuxuryMaking MoneyParadoxApplicationSwingsGalaxyListening To MusicPlaying MusicTime And MoneyValuable Time Author:Alan Watts
“I do believe my personal spirituality, which spirituality itself I don't really equate to anything more than my personal connection with nature and the universe. With what is real, not a manmade contrivance. Finding a connection with those things through my music is something I've begun to take more seriously in order to understand why I feel that way.” BelieveRealSpiritualityUniverseMusic Is Author:Mark McGwire
“Classical music and pop are two different universes, each with its own difficulties, peculiarities, depth and artistic dignity. In Italy, I think there is a fairly clear line of demarcation, but the history of music is full of fusion. Popular and classical music have always found points of contact, of crossing, exchange, both drawing mutual profit.” ThinkingTwoDifferentUniverseFoundLinesClearMusic IsDignityDifficultyDepthProfitPopsDrawingContactArtisticMutualClassical MusicCrossingsFusionHistory Of MusicDifferent Universes Author:Andrea Bocelli
