“The weirdest thing I've been fascinated with nowadays is the new contemporary country music, which to me sounds like very strange '70s pop, and sometimes like rock music. But some of the themes in there - maybe it's because I know how the songs were written, but it really does sound like it was written by two or three people, with the idea to appeal to the most general audience.” PeopleKnowsDoeTwoIdeasCountrySometimesSongThreeSoundAudienceKnow HowWrittenRocksStrangePopsContemporaryAppealsThemeFascinatedRock Music Author:Ryan Adams
“I think of music a lot when I paint. The theme of it to a degree is music. So instead of literally putting in music or literally putting in a musical instrument, I use only a hint of the instrument, but the brocaded pattern is like a line of Bach because of its order and the leaves going up are like passages from Vivaldi, and the emphasis on drapery is where the sound comes.” ThinkingUseOrderSoundLinesDegreesInstrumentsPaintMusicalPatternsThemePassagesEmphasisHintsMusical InstrumentsVivaldi Author:Nelson Shanks

“The trees change their voices in autumn as well as their shapes. No longer do they whisper to one another in muffled tones as they did in summer; they talk in a different leaf-language now. The wind moves through the boughs like fingers drawn across the strings of a harp filling the air with the harsh dry sound of sapless leaves. It is the main theme of the autumn music, this murmuring counterpoint of dead leaves.” WellsDifferentMovingLanguageSoundVoiceAirTreeWindShapesSummerFingersToneThemeDryAutumnStringsHarshLeafsFillingHarpsMurmuring Book:The Glory of the Garden Source: The Glory of the Garden
“A long-term relationship is about showing up and working hard and banking on each other. If one's down, the other might be up and can help the other one up, and sometimes you're both down and you just [band] together. Endurance is a big theme of it for me. That might not sound romantic, but I kind of think that it is.” IfsThinkingKindLongSometimesHardHelpingBigsMightTogetherSoundTermBandDown AndLong TermThemeEnduranceBankingShowing UpLong Term Relationship Author:Rob Delaney
“If somebody ever says something is a mature theme, it's bound to not be. I mean, you shouldn't fall for that. You can make it sound mature, but anything that's about being mature is pretty immature.” IfsMeanFallSoundBoundsThemeMatureImmature Author:Ariel Pink
