And I don't feel any form of music is beyond me in the sense of that I don't understand it or I don't have some love for some part of it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I haven't understood a bar of music in my life, but I have felt it.
I really love music that's on the periphery of not fitting into a clear genre. I felt like I was constantly being described as something I didn't really feel like I identified with.
I thought music could take you to a place where you didn't even feel ownership of it, you just felt lucky you were there. It's like church without God, or something. It's about feeling, hope and catharsis and things that are nurturing.
The nature of music is mysterious and so much so that it generates strong emotions within us. It moves along passages that reach the most intimate areas of our psyche without being tried by prejudices or influences of any kind.
I cannot conceive of music that expresses absolutely nothing.
And there's a feeling you get from making music that is unlike anything else in the world.
Sometimes I feel like music has made love to me.
You have to open your mind. I like the ability to express myself in a deep way. It's the closest music to our humanity - it's like a folk music that rises up out of a culture.
Music is one of those things that make us feel a little less alone in the world.
I can't read music. That's not where I come from musically. I come strictly from feeling, and that feeling comes from rock & roll.
