“You must hold on to the sort of finger-painting aspect of music. That's something I learned, particularly from listening to Neil Young. Tom Waits is another one, because Tom's music is incredibly sophisticated and beautifully arranged, but he's using a toolbox that's unlike anybody else's.” YoungWaitingPaintingListeningMusic IsAspectFingersTomsSophisticatedToolbox Author:Elvis Costello
“The older you get, the more you have to talk about, and music is a really good outlet.

“My worlds are completely different. Painting is a peaceful world, and it's a different vibe than having a great match. You are able to look back at what you created when you finish. Recording music is an entirely different monster. When you finally write something, you do a demo and then you go into the studio. Doing the master version, that's the best feeling ever - especially when you're so proud of what you've written, and you can't wait for people to hear it. That's actually very similar to trying to tell a story in a wrestling match.” PeopleWorldWritingTryingLooksDifferentStoriesFeelingsAbleWaitingWrittenPaintingMastersProudMusic IsStudiosMonstersVersionsPeacefulWrestlingPeaceful WorldDemosRecording Music Author:Jeff Hardy
“A lot of my music is just self-observation. Like telling you, "Oh man. What did I just do? How much did I just pay for this chain? Why did I do that? Wait a minute." Let me talk about that.

“For people to even be interested and to reach out and say "I can't wait for you to come out with something", it's just so inspiring and motivating. It just keeps me going and it reminds me of why I love to make music because there's nothing greater than to use the gifts you have and share it with people who have that same affinity for the art that you give.” PeopleGivingArtI CanUseWaitingGreaterShareMusic IsReach OutAffinity Author:Tiffany Villarreal

“The idea of the nightclub and gospel house music is interesting to me; I can't wait to hit that circuit! The Bible says, "Where two or more are gathered in my name, there am I also." When you sing, dance, or open yourself up to being fed by a performer or edified in the experience, there is this possibility that you're going to leave better than you got there.” HouseWaitingInterestingPossibilityMusic Is Author:Measha Brueggergosman
“I think music is better listened to with other people. Music is better shared. It depends what situation you're in - if it's a song by Tom Waits, it can be nice to be on your own, but if it's something slightly more upbeat, it's amazing to be around people.” PeopleThinkingSongWaitingSituationNiceMusic IsBeing NiceUpbeat Author:Tom Odell
