Music is powerful. As people listen to it, they can be affected. They respond.

Music is part of us, and either ennobles or degrades our behavior.

Music can change the world because it can change people.

I think music has the power to transform people, and in doing so, it has the power to transform situations - some large and some small.

Music is something that always lifts my spirits and makes me happy, and when I make music I always hope it will have the same effect on whoever listens to it.

I find myself more affected by music the more I do it. Particularly when you're touring, and you're in the bus, and you're listening to loads of music. Life becomes far more dramatic, I guess - you're never in the same place; you're constantly meeting new people. You almost become more sensitized to music.

Music has healing power. It has the ability to take people out of themselves for a few hours.

What I've learned is that music affects the way you feel. A song can change someone's life.

I feel like music can affect you in so many ways. When you hear a song with a happy melody, it can change your mood; it can change your day.

Music seems hard-wired into our very being. It moves us, stirs us to action, sets us in motion, sticks in our memories and minds.
