“Songs are as sad as the listener.”
“It’s a rule that we never listen to sad music, we made that rule early on, songs are as sad as the listener, we hardly ever listen to music.”
“Happiness is a sad song.”
“Are you - are you sad?" - No. "But your - your songs are sad." - My songs are of time and distance. The sadness is in you. Watch my arms. There is only the dance. These things you treasure are shells.”
“Listen to the Song of Life”
“It was such a sweet, sad song with such sweet, sad lyrics. Old-fashioned a little, but also timeless.”
