A bird, music and food -desert island items ~ Michael Johnson
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Michael Johnson
There's no borders or lines you can't cross anymore. Everything is getting blended with everything. That's the dope thing about music now. Some people don't like it, more of the older people. They want to, you know, go back to old-school New York hip-hop. ~ ASAP Ferg
Afrofuturism Music quotes by ASAP Ferg
I love the company of actors, but the crazier it gets, the more I've come to realise how valuable my time is with my friends who work on the land or are builders or, you know, make music. Work in offices. Run shops. ~ Andrea Riseborough
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Andrea Riseborough
I started to write before I went to SUNY Purchase music conservatory. As an audition I submitted what I now think are really awful songs, but I guess they saw something in them. ~ Regina Spektor
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Regina Spektor
I'm very much interested in music specifically and wanted to make a film about it, but not in an atmosphere of censorship. ~ Bahman Ghobadi
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Bahman Ghobadi
I've always written songs to use music as a form of therapy or as a way to look at my obstacles or my memories from a different perspective. It's always helped me realize the grass isn't always greener and how I need to live more in the moment. My songwriting is a documentation of whatever's happening in my life at that point in time. ~ Chuck Ragan
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Chuck Ragan
The world in books seemed so much more alive to me than anything outside. I could see things I'd never seen before. Books and music were my best friends. I had a couple of good friends at school, but never met anyone I could really speak my heart to. We'd just make small talk, play soccer together. When something bothered me, I didn't talk with anyone about it. I thought it over all by myself, came to a conclusion, and took action alone. Not that I really felt lonely. I thought that's just the way things are. Human beings, in the final analysis, have to survive on their own. ~ Haruki Murakami
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Haruki Murakami
Apart from two periods of intense study, of music between the ages of 12 and 14 and of mathematics between the ages of 14 and 16, I coasted, daydreaming, through most of my school years. ~ James Black
Afrofuturism Music quotes by James Black
At that moment a solitary violin struck up. But the music was not dance music; it was more like a song - a solemn, sweet song. (I know now that it was Beethoven's Romance in F.) I listened, and suddenly it was as if the fog that surrounded me had been penetrated, as if I were being spoken to. ~ Jennifer Paynter
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Jennifer Paynter
I don't have to support Bibi, his government or any other conservative organization in order to come and play music in Israel, for people who want to come and listen to music. I think it's b******t to ask me to boycott Israel and not America. It's interesting that some people choose to pick on Israel and isolate her ... I was invited to perform and that's why I'll perform, as long as the border is open and I'm welcomed. I'm just coming to play. ~ Anton Newcombe
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Anton Newcombe
As a child, I was always very interested in music and had friends who were in the music business. I kind of accidentally fell into it and loved it. There was no reason not to - it was a great career. ~ Hooman Majd
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Hooman Majd
I want to help promote Korean music around the world. ~ Swizz Beatz
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Swizz Beatz
There are many fans of hard rock music that have been wrongly pigeonholed as apathetic. This music is not music for the elitist coffeehouse culture in SoHo. It' s rock 'n' roll music for kids across the land, and I think that makes it much more subversive in a way, in that it has the form and the function of a powerful, populist music, but it can carry very incendiary messages. ~ Tom Morello
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Tom Morello
I want my music to do the explaining. ~ Demi Lovato
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Demi Lovato
I've always felt that the performance of a raag resembles a novel - or at least the kind of novel I'm attempting to write. You know,' he continued, extemporizing as he went along, 'first you take one note and explore it for a while, then another to discover its possibilities, then perhaps you get to the dominant, and pause for a bit, and it's only gradually that the phrases begin to form and the tabla joins in with the beat ... and then the more brilliant improvisations and diversions begin, with the main theme returning from time to time, and finally it all speeds up, and the excitement increases to a climax. ~ Vikram Seth
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Vikram Seth
If you take the creation of music and the creation of your own life values as your overall goal, then living becomes a musical process. ~ Cecil Taylor
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Cecil Taylor
I remember seeing McCoy Tyner in concert, and thinking that the music was incredible, but wanting to be invited in. I figured that humor was the way of letting the audience in. I've gotten a hard time about it, but I love to be funny onstage. ~ John Lurie
Afrofuturism Music quotes by John Lurie
We have access to more resources in general, and they are not going to force a situation on us, whether its the producer, or the cover, or what songs we have to play. And it's a small enough company that it seems like the people there care about music and not just about business. ~ Mike Gordon
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Mike Gordon
I love music, singing, and playing piano (though I'm not very good). And I adore musical theater. ~ Aprilynne Pike
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Aprilynne Pike
My soul is a black maelstrom, a great madness spinning about a vacuum, the swirling of a vast ocean around a hole in the void, and in the waters, more like whirlwinds than waters, float images of all I ever saw or heard in the world: houses, faces, books, boxes, snatches of music and fragments of voices, all caught up in a sinister, bottomless whirlpool. ~ Fernando Pessoa
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Fernando Pessoa
The artist must forget the audience,
forget the critics, forget the technique, forget everything but love for the music.
Then, the music speaks through the performance,
and the performer and the listener will walk together
with the soul of the composer, and with
God. ~ Mstislav Rostropovich
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Mstislav Rostropovich
My parents say it all began with my role of Percy the Polar Bear back in nursery school! I began dance classes at the age of five (you would never guess though) and then I went on to join my local theatre group, Glantawe Players, at the age of eight and then Swansea Amateur Dramatics Society. I then joined the National Youth Music Theatre, so I really can't remember a time when I wasn't interested in Musical Theatre! ~ Francesca Jackson
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Francesca Jackson
She's thinking that what she's been doing all these years isn't what she wants to do anymore. Sometimes music flows to her and from her, but sometimes it doesn't. Lately that happens more and more, and she can't seem to find what she had and what made her special. But she can't tell her father because he'd be so disappointed in her, so disappointed to find out she's not extraordinary after all. ~ Leila Cobo
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Leila Cobo
There's so much you can do with laying words on a bed of music. You can completely change their meaning with the type of music or the way they're sung. ~ P.J. Harvey
Afrofuturism Music quotes by P.J. Harvey
It's just a sound, and a feeling that's in the music. And you either hear it and appreciate it, or you don't. ~ Emmylou Harris
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Emmylou Harris
All I have is the will to remember. Time revoked/fever dreams - I wake up reaching, afraid I'll forget. Pictures keep the woman young. L.A., fall 1958.
Newsprint: link the dots. Names, events - so brutal they beg to be connected. Years down - the story stays dispersed. The names are dead or too guilty to tell. I'm old, afraid I'll forget: I killed innocent men. I betrayed sacred oaths. I reaped profit from horror.
Fever - that time burning. I want to go with the music - spin, fall with it. ~ James Ellroy
Afrofuturism Music quotes by James Ellroy
As his hands fell upon the keyboard, it was still possible to believe a beautiful harmony had been formed at random, in spite of him. But a second later the music came surging out, the power of it sweeping away all doubts, voices, sounds, wiping away the fixed grins and exchanged glances, pushing back the walls, dispersing the light of the reception room out into the nocturnal immensity of the sky beyond the windows.

He did not feel as if he were playing. He was advancing through a night, breathing in its delicate transparency, made up as it was of an infinite number of facets of ice, of leaves, of wind. He no longer felt any pain. No fear about what would happen. No anguish or remorse. The night through which he was advancing expressed this pain, this fear, and the irremediable shattering of the past, but this had all become music and now only existed through its beauty. ~ Andrei Makine
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Andrei Makine
I was really, really, really enthusiastic as a kid. I was up for anything. I was hugely into music and theatre. I was a big musical theatre kid; I loved reading. ~ Amanda Marshall
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Amanda Marshall
I do want to direct, eventually. I don't know if it will be a short film or a music video or a feature, but I know that I want to at least try it and see. ~ Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Mary Elizabeth Winstead
I have this ability to find this hidden talent in people that sometimes even they didn't know they had. ~ Berry Gordy
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Berry Gordy
Because the blues is the basis of most American music in the 20th century. It's a 12-bar form that's played by jazz, bluegrass and country musicians. It has a rhythmic vocabulary that's been used by rock n' roll. It's related to spirituals, and even the American fiddle tradition. ~ Wynton Marsalis
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Wynton Marsalis
I'm not melancholy; I'm a happy-go-lucky person, kind of silly. I like funny things. I have a lot of energy. I tend to like music that's mellow, though. ~ Norah Jones
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Norah Jones
What makes you come alive? What keeps you going ? Is there hope in your heart still or has the weariness of the world attached itself to you like a limpet leaving you afraid and passionless? Do you wake up with a smile and stars in your eyes after restless, feverish soul-searching in the night? Do you dream, dream beyond what is possible and beyond the narrow confines of your jaded existence? How old do you feel? How much in love can you fall? How much step is there in your dance, o how many notes left in your song ? Have you decided to sit by and watch others dance or weep at the dying notes of your own swan song?

Shake your lethargy. Come alive to innocence once more. Believe past your own jaded cynicism. Pretend you are young once more. Jump up with a spring in your feet, fall breathlessly in love again. Let the colors of the world wash over your walls, brushing the greys away. Let the sunlight of hope flood through your doubting self, o let the music play.

Dance till you ache and drop, laugh till you cry. Sing till your lungs burst, and journey till the very road ends and dream by the moonless starless nights. Sleep with a secret smile on your lips, your body flush with the imprints of lips. Come alive, my dearest ...reclaim yourself from the living dead.

Life beckons ~ Srividya Srinivasan
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Srividya Srinivasan
I'm very bad with music. I don't know any new music. I've listened to the same 10 or 12 albums my whole life. ~ Bobby Moynihan
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Bobby Moynihan
I have my writing and acting and producing and directing, and my younger brother has his music and his acting. ~ Kevin Schmidt
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Kevin Schmidt
I played more of an advisory role with Public Enemy. I really trusted them to make the music that they wanted to make, and the way The Bomb Squad worked with the ... they created their whole own world of music. ~ Rick Rubin
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Rick Rubin
Chance the Rapper: if you listen to his narrative and the subject matter he covers in his music, you can see that he's strong, courageous and shows vulnerability. He asks some very poignant questions in his music and is still very melodic. The harmony and the melody of the music allows you to also come in closer. ~ MC Hammer
Afrofuturism Music quotes by MC Hammer
I'm everything I'm made of. So a part of me is made of classical music. I'm grateful for it. ~ Ledisi
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Ledisi
The Internet is to news," he said, "what car horns are to music. ~ Tom Rachman
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Tom Rachman
Since her landmark 'Tapestry,' Carole King has both oversimplified and over elaborated that masterful album's style until her music has become something more overtly but less effectively personal. ~ Jon Landau
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Jon Landau
To some of us the thought of God is like a sort of quiet music playing in the background of the mind. ~ William James
Afrofuturism Music quotes by William James
I've been into music for a long time. I started playing drums when I was 8 and piano when I was 10, then bass and guitar when I was 18. ~ Lukas Haas
Afrofuturism Music quotes by Lukas Haas
