One and the same thing can at the same time be good, bad, and indifferent, e.g., music is good to the melancholy, bad to those who mourn, and neither good nor bad to the deaf.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Music is a weapon in the war against unhappiness.
In a certain sense the Good is comfortless.
There's nothing in the world that isn't good, bad, and indifferent.
Musical compositions can be very sad - Chopin - but you have the pleasure of this sadness. The cheap consolation is: you will be happy. The higher consolation is the pleasure and recognition of your unhappiness, the pleasure of having recognised that fate, destiny and life are such as they are and so you reach a higher form of consciousness.
Good music is good music, but it has to be good.
I think my philosophy in music has been to accentuate the positive.
You're in good spirits when you create and produce great music. All situations inspire music in different ways, man, from good situations, bad situations, depression, falling in love, falling out of love. I've been going through all those type of things.
Some people make their best music when life is horrible.
There is two kinds of music, the good, and the bad. I play the good kind.
If one plays good music, people don't listen and if one plays bad music people don't talk.
