“Why write a song when no one can play the notes or understand the lyrics?”

“Throughout all of the changes that have happened in my life, one of the priorities I've had is to never change the way I write songs and the reasons I write songs. I write songs to help me understand life a little more. I write songs to get past things that cause me pain. And I write songs because sometimes life makes more sense to me when it's being sung in a chorus, and when I can write it in a verse.”

“We think we understand a song's lyrics but what makes us believe in them, or not, is the music”

“This is a uni-verse (”one song’). There’s one song playing everywhere and we are all notes in it. There are no “special” or “better” notes.Every note is necessary and contains the whole essence of the music. All the power and substance of the universe is seeking to sing its song through you as magnificently as it has ever been sung before.”

“I can't understand why a person will take a year or two to write a novel when he can easily buy one for a few dollars.”

“When Blue sang, a lyric became a libation; a song became a sacrament.”
