It's the music. Your heart is in your ears.

As long as my music is real, it's no limit to how many ears I can grab.

Sometimes with pop music, you have to see it to love it. With soul music, it's sparse. There's nothing that's pretentious or planned. It's just so gutsy.

Music is art, and art is important and rare. Important, rare things are valuable. Valuable things should be paid for.

Music inflames temperament.

That's the problem with a lot of things these days. Everything is too full now; we are spoon-fed everything. All songs are about one thing and one thing specifically, there is no shading, no nuance, no mystery. Perhaps this is why music is not a place where people put their dreams at the moment; dreams suffocate in these airless environs.
