Soul music has so many great artists who put their thing down. That's important. ~ Raekwon
Soul Music quotes by Raekwon
Sometimes with pop music, you have to see it to love it. With soul music, it's sparse. There's nothing that's pretentious or planned. It's just so gutsy. ~ Adele
Soul Music quotes by Adele
And there were the warm spaces in the music I loved the most, openings through which I could enter and lay my burdens down. There, behind the groove and riding on the melody, I was complete and free. ~ Rashod Ollison
Soul Music quotes by Rashod Ollison
Music should be healing. Music should uplift the soul. Music should inspire. ~ Hazrat Inayat Khan
Soul Music quotes by Hazrat Inayat Khan
For me, the highlight was meeting all the Motown acts, as I adore black soul music. I met Stevie Wonder who I love, and Diana Ross And The Supremes. I also met The Carpenters. I was actually there in the studio when they recorded We've Only Just Begun. ~ Tony Blackburn
Soul Music quotes by Tony Blackburn
I consider what I do soul music, it's music that is concerned with the soul. ~ LeCrae
Soul Music quotes by LeCrae
A guitar is more than just a sound box ... it is part of your soul. ~ Manuel Velazquez
Soul Music quotes by Manuel Velazquez
Other [artists'] music is really what you get most inspiration from, whether consciously or subconsciously. I like a lot of old music and a lot of soul music. I also really like a lot of new stuff. ~ Ben Rector
Soul Music quotes by Ben Rector
A lot of R&B cats are doing a lot of auto-tune. Tyrese went back to the basics. I love classic soul music and Ginuwine. Ginuwine and Usher laid the foundation back in the '90s. There's no one doing that anymore. ~ Leon Bridges
Soul Music quotes by Leon Bridges
One of the things that personally kept me in music was that it has always been my passion,my vision and change. No matter how far I may think I can go without it, it always tend to slap me right back in the face! So why not do what naturally fills your soul. Music completes me. ~ Mandisa
Soul Music quotes by Mandisa
My listening changed when I heard music from Stax, Atlantic, Motown because by that age I thought anything that my parents listened to must be square. So I had to find my own rock n' roll, as it were, and I found it in black soul music. ~ Robert Palmer
Soul Music quotes by Robert Palmer
I love soul music, that's my real love in life and in whatever shape or form it is. ~ Paul Weller
Soul Music quotes by Paul Weller
There's always a spattering of people who see Hanson who were influenced by classic '60's and '70's rock and roll. In a lot of ways, we're sort of the anatomy of a '70's rock band if you examine what we do: white guys who grew up listening to soul music from the '50's and '60's. ~ Taylor Hanson
Soul Music quotes by Taylor Hanson
Music is a spiritual doorway its power comes from the fact that it plugs directly into the soul, unlike a lot of visual art or textual information that has to go through the more filtering processes of the brain. ~ Peter Gabriel
Soul Music quotes by Peter Gabriel
Soul music is pain - you can hear the slaves, the beatin' and the hurtin'. ~ Link Wray
Soul Music quotes by Link Wray
If you listen to soul music, or R&B music, or Blues music, a lot of that came from church music and spiritual music, and music has always been a really really powerful tool that people have used to get them closer to God - whatever they define God as. And for me that's always been part of what drew me to it and keeps me coming back for more. ~ Joan Osborne
Soul Music quotes by Joan Osborne
I always like to serve the people some good soul music, and Christmas was just the cherry on top. ~ V. Bozeman
Soul Music quotes by V. Bozeman
The music was thunder and joy. Lightning bolts of happiness and praise, foot-stomping, dance-shouting, good-feeling singing from the soul. ~ Etta James
Soul Music quotes by Etta James
I like American black soul music, that was my first big enthusiasm. ~ Bill Nighy
Soul Music quotes by Bill Nighy
It's bluesy, rocky jazz. I call it soul music, but it's not James Brown soul music. It comes from my soul. It comes from a deeper place. Duffy has that similar old school soul sound to herself. If I opened for Duffy, that would make sense to me, in my head. ~ Tinsel Korey
Soul Music quotes by Tinsel Korey
Salsa, classic rock, soul music, jazz ... all of that was a part of my education in making hip-hop music. ~ Aloe Blacc
Soul Music quotes by Aloe Blacc
Soul music is about longevity and reaching and touching people on a human level - and that's never going to get lost. ~ Jill Scott
Soul Music quotes by Jill Scott
I started to write a lot of ballads that were sultry and had a Norah Jones-for-country kind of feel. I wanted to bring elements of old soul music and old country music. ~ Laura Bell Bundy
Soul Music quotes by Laura Bell Bundy
Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul. ~ Plato
Soul Music quotes by Plato
I'm crazy about James Brown. I'm crazy about soul music. And then the blues. Rhythm and blues. ~ Bill Nighy
Soul Music quotes by Bill Nighy
I grew up listening to a lot of soul music, and a lot of folk music. ~ Katey Sagal
Soul Music quotes by Katey Sagal
I enjoy listening to contemporary rock on the college stations while I'm taking long walks, love gospel and soul music, am fascinated by hip-hop and rap as the new kind of urban 'beat' poetry and, come to think of it, find something interesting about just any kind of music. ~ Oscar Hijuelos
Soul Music quotes by Oscar Hijuelos
I call the high and light aspects of my being SPIRIT and the dark and heavy aspects SOUL.
Soul is at home in the deep shaded valleys.
Heavy torpid flowes saturated with black grow there.
The rivers flow like arm syrup. They empty into huge oceans of soul.
Spirit is a land of high,white peaks and glittering jewel-like lakes and flowers.
Life is sparse and sound travels great distances.
There is soul music, soul food, and soul love.
People need to climb the mountain not because it is there
But because the soulful divinity need to be mated with the Spirit.
Deep down we must have a rel affection for each other, a clear recognition of our shared human status. At the same time we must openly accept all ideologies and systems as means of solving humanity's problems. No matter how strong the wind of evil may blow, the flame of truth cannot be extinguished. ~ Dalai Lama XIV
Soul Music quotes by Dalai Lama XIV
I grew up on soul music. I was a dancing little creep. ~ Kim Basinger
Soul Music quotes by Kim Basinger
Absolutely, I grew up listening to soul music. People like Stevie, Aretha, Ray Charles, Michael and Prince. My parents' record collection was all I had when I was a little kid. If it wasn't that, it was something else in their collection. ~ Jesse McCartney
Soul Music quotes by Jesse McCartney
That takes such active, intelligent creativity, analyzing the emotions a composer intends in those scratchy notes on a page, learning and perfecting the technique that gives you the skill to bring those skeletal notations to full-fleshed life in your performance. As far as I am concerned, Eliza, that is the greatest act of intelligence a human being is capable of. Music is air made rapturous, achieving the sublime, catching the harmony of the spheres for a fleeting moment so we can hear it. It is the closest we get to God. So, therefore, it is pure brilliance of the soul. ~ L.M. Elliott
Soul Music quotes by L.M. Elliott
When I was a kid in the mid-'60s, I was what's known as a moddie boy, a prototype skinhead. You all had your hair like a crew cut, cropped, with suits or Levis with red suspenders, sometimes Doc Martens. It was a thriving soul music, Motown and ska scene; we used to dance to Prince Buster and the Skatalites. ~ Graham Parker
Soul Music quotes by Graham Parker
People have this perception of soul music of somebody shouting. ~ Leon Bridges
Soul Music quotes by Leon Bridges
I stumbled into soul music at a very young age. It had something that really spoke to me. ~ Erik Hassle
Soul Music quotes by Erik Hassle
Once people get the idea that they can listen to music for nothing, where will it end? ~ Terry Pratchett
Soul Music quotes by Terry Pratchett
Horace, we've had a complaint that the music was playing too loudly in the Waiting Area," one board member announced as Mr. Brutish showed them into the board room and directed them to a row of seats lining the front wall. "The soul music?" a male spirit clarified, clearly irritated. ~ L.R.W. Lee
Soul Music quotes by L.R.W. Lee
I was introduced to soul music at a very young age - my mom was a soul singer. ~ Elliott Yamin
Soul Music quotes by Elliott Yamin
Music is the language of soul; it can express the deepest feelings of life which language cannot touch. ~ Debasish Mridha
Soul Music quotes by Debasish Mridha
The trouble with modern music is that it's somewhat too intellectual...the brain has been working a little more than the bigger muscle underneath (what you may call it, spirit, inner blast, soul?). ~ Charles E. Ives
Soul Music quotes by Charles E. Ives
I mean, music totally comes from your soul. ~ Martin Scorsese
Soul Music quotes by Martin Scorsese
Soul music as we've always known it hasn't changed. There are different players now with different attitudes, but there is nothing new being done musically. ~ Don Cornelius
Soul Music quotes by Don Cornelius
It's like soul music, isn't it all soul music? Otherwise what is it, non-soul music? I-have-no-soul music? Soulless music? People need to put a name on something to identify it, and I understand it. ~ Mark Lanegan
Soul Music quotes by Mark Lanegan
Sing you a song and steal your soul. ~ Victoria Schwab
Soul Music quotes by Victoria Schwab
I like not thinking when I am working. I thrive on that feeling of attempting to move on total instinct and inner feelings ... that to me is "soul"; soul music. Almost everyone else uses a great deal of thought processes ... they are idea men. ~ Howe Gelb
Soul Music quotes by Howe Gelb
If you can't prove it in words, it ain't gospel. Soul music is just an expression of the mind, but your spirit has to be made alive - that's the real part, the part that God speaks to. ~ Andrae Crouch
Soul Music quotes by Andrae Crouch
Soul music is soul music. It can be wrapped up in a neo soul package; it can be called hip-hop soul. But soul is soul, and it's been around; it will never go away. ~ Maxwell
Soul Music quotes by Maxwell
Soul lyrics, soul music came at about the same time as the civil rights movement, and it's very possible that one influenced the other. ~ Ahmet Ertegun
Soul Music quotes by Ahmet Ertegun
The only thing I wanted to accomplish was to finally get recognized by the music industry. If you know the awards, answer me this question: Do you see an award for soul music? No. They have R&B, funk, hip-hop and all sorts of contemporary things. ~ Sharon Jones
Soul Music quotes by Sharon Jones
I make soul music for hip-hop heads. It's music I'd want to sample if I were a rapper. ~ Mayer Hawthorne
Soul Music quotes by Mayer Hawthorne
I don't play pyrotechnic scales. I play about frustration, patience, anger. Music is an extension of my soul. ~ Dick Dale
Soul Music quotes by Dick Dale
There's nothing better than live music. It's raw energy, and raw energy feeds the soul. ~ Dhani Jones
Soul Music quotes by Dhani Jones
Music's the medicine of the mind. ~ John A. Logan
Soul Music quotes by John A. Logan
When I was a kid, I was following black soul music. ~ Robert Plant
Soul Music quotes by Robert Plant
Music is an emotional experience, and that is what imprints itself on the soul. And I think for me, any great art is art which communicates human emotion. ~ Greg Lake
Soul Music quotes by Greg Lake
I started to work up in my old bedroom, playing, writing songs, and it somehow came to me that I could introduce soul music. Nobody seemed to be doing that. ~ Graham Parker
Soul Music quotes by Graham Parker
One thing I know about Willie Hutch: my homie, [Big] Jerm, listens to nothing but Soul music, so he put me on to all this Soul music back in the day. ~ Mac Miller
Soul Music quotes by Mac Miller
Theres two kinds of music: black soul music, and the white imitation thereof. ~ Ahmet Ertegun
Soul Music quotes by Ahmet Ertegun
The vibrations on the air are the breath of God speaking to man's soul. Music is the language of God. We musicians are as close to God as man can be. We hear his voice, we read his lips, we give birth to the children of God, who sing his praise. That's what musicians are. ~ Stephen J. Rivele
Soul Music quotes by Stephen J. Rivele
I discovered the same thing Gram Parsons did, that soul music and country music are practically identical. Based off of the same chord structures, and the songs are of heartache and loss. The main connection is they both came up in church. ~ Justin Townes Earle
Soul Music quotes by Justin Townes Earle
I don't live in this soul music bubble. I love Young Thug, Drake, Kendrick Lamar. I even heard that Kendrick was a fan of my music. Hopefully there's a door open for us to do music together. He's one of my favorite artists. I love Jazmine Sullivan, Lianne la Havas, Usher, Ginuwine. It goes further than classic soul. ~ Leon Bridges
Soul Music quotes by Leon Bridges
People keep putting limitations on themselves and creating this reality that soul music is dead. That's only in their reality. It's not true. To me, Adele is R&B. Bruno Mars is R&B. It's just good songwriting and songs. That is going to last. ~ Ester Dean
Soul Music quotes by Ester Dean
I've never had a very quiet voice. I tried in choir to make it smaller, and it just didn't work out. And I listened to a lot of soul music when I was growing up on my own accord. But I was mostly into Mama Cass and Gladys Knight, and they all had big voices too; just different than mine. ~ Beth Ditto
Soul Music quotes by Beth Ditto
I listen to crazy, robust rock music where they sing their faces off, and soul music, which can be similar. ~ Adam Lambert
Soul Music quotes by Adam Lambert
Charles and I are from Augusta, Ga. - so we come from James Brown territory, soul music and Motown. And Charles has always had a lot of Southern rock in there as well. ~ Dave Haywood
Soul Music quotes by Dave Haywood
There is soul music, soul food, and soul love ... ~ Dalai Lama
Soul Music quotes by Dalai Lama
The value of jazz still has to be clarified. People involve themselves with its superficialities without digging for its soul. ~ Stan Getz
Soul Music quotes by Stan Getz
I don't know why it is, but I just love soul music and all that old country stuff. I guess somehow my heart mixed them both together as I made my albums. ~ Billy Currington
Soul Music quotes by Billy Currington
It wasn't until my late teens that I really got into soul music and then I was like 'Ooh, this is good!' You'd always here it at old family parties, like, Gladys Knight and I'd always love it but I didn't really get to know it and respect it until I was a bit older. ~ Rebecca Ferguson
Soul Music quotes by Rebecca Ferguson
The end of all good music is to affect the soul. ~ Claudio Monteverdi
Soul Music quotes by Claudio Monteverdi
Susan stared at him.
The blue glow in Death's eyes gradually faded, and as the light died it sucked at her gaze so that it was dragged into the eye sockets and into the darkness beyond ...
... which went on and on, for ever. There was no word for it. Even eternity was a human idea. Giving it a name gave it a length; admittedly, a very long one. But this darkness was what was left when eternity had given up. It was where Death lived. Alone. ~ Terry Pratchett
Soul Music quotes by Terry Pratchett
I like music because ... its expressive, you can convey whatever you're thinking through a song. And it's the best respite for me anyway to do it through music. So I like music because you can express and let your soul out through it. ~ Paolo Nutini
Soul Music quotes by Paolo Nutini
The '70s and '80s were just the period during which the best soul music was created and the best records were done. ~ Don Cornelius
Soul Music quotes by Don Cornelius
Which of the two powers, Love or Music, can elevate man to the sublimest heights? ... It is a problem, and yet it seems to me that this is the answer: 'Love can give no idea of music; music can give an idea of love.' ... Why separate them? They are two wings of the soul. ~ Hector Berlioz
Soul Music quotes by Hector Berlioz
I started playing violin because I was fascinated by how violin players could play so fast. I would buy their cassettes, and learn different concertos, but then I started rounding out my collection. My dad was a big jazz fan, so I just started hearing a lot more soul music. I loved Little Stevie Wonder, and I got really into him as a singer and a writer as I got older. ~ Toby Lightman
Soul Music quotes by Toby Lightman
He can make the dry parched ground of my soul to become a pool and my thirsty barren heart as springs of water. Yes he can make this habitation of dragons this heart which is so full of abominable lusts and fiery temptations to be a place of bounty and fruitfulness unto Himself ~ John Owen
Soul Music quotes by John Owen
At least Lars was curious about the appeal of jazz to black folk; for most observers, such ponderation is akin to contemplating why gorillas like bananas. The attractiveness of jazz to the nonblack is well documented in publicly funded documentaries where experts speak of jazz in the past tense. They look authoritatively into the camera and ingratiate themselves with the Man by saying things like, "White people were hearing something in jazz that says something deeply about their experience. I'm not sure that it would have been this way if we were not a country of immigrants ... so many people felt kind of displaced ... I think that was part of its amazing appeal, was how it spoke to feeling out of sort and out of joint and maladjusted."
What hogwash. Does my fondness for classical music make me well adjusted? Besides, people who are really fucked up don't turn to jazz; they turn to heroin, opium, whiskey, and Vonnegut. ~ Paul Beatty
Soul Music quotes by Paul Beatty
In San Francisco, most of the older activists, especially at Berkeley, were very hostile towards punks. The music, certainly, wasn't nice and mellow for them, and neither was our look or our attitude. While in Vancouver, the two most important early punk bands, D.O.A. and the Subhumans, were both managed by former yippie activists, who saw this as a logical extension of what they were already doing. ~ Jello Biafra
Soul Music quotes by Jello Biafra
Unless we are prepared to search our souls to discover what to say, and then how to say it effectively, we cannot expect to deal successfully with today's domestic and personal problems, not to mention those international issues on which our very lives depend. ~ Everett Case
Soul Music quotes by Everett Case
The qualities which a man seeks in his beloved are those characteristics of his own soul, whether he knows it or not. ~ Plato
Soul Music quotes by Plato
My whole life is geared to play guitar. I play what I want when I want and I hope the listener gets as much pleasure listening to the music as I get playing it. ~ Jim Sullivan
Soul Music quotes by Jim Sullivan
A man without a footprint has no soul. ~ John A. Autero
Soul Music quotes by John A. Autero
Music gives us a language that cuts across the disciplines, helps us to see connections and brings a more coherent meaning to our world. ~ Ernest L. Boyer
Soul Music quotes by Ernest L. Boyer
Maybe the real issue here is that we were not created to do life by ourselves. We were not given a sentence of solitary confinement and placed in a world of isolation, but from the moment we entered this human experience, it was clear there was a world waiting to be discovered, creatures which were there for our interaction.

And the spark inside us often has to be spoken to, to be touched by the soul of another. It's as if the spark is only visible through the lens of night vision, a set of goggles which only another human being can hand to us. ~ Stephen Lovegrove
Soul Music quotes by Stephen Lovegrove
Her soul was as cold as the air that bit through London in winter, her grief a shadow to the vengeance ... ~ Michelle Zink
Soul Music quotes by Michelle Zink
You had to fight to get into the womb. Not only you but many souls rushed to enter, and the ones that won are you, and you and I. It was not an easy victory. ~ Paramahansa Yogananda
Soul Music quotes by Paramahansa Yogananda
Just one gaze into his eyes and I was hynotized. ~ Nikki Rowe
Soul Music quotes by Nikki Rowe
I'd rather not get into what I'm talking about lyrically. I think it's impossible not to demystify a song when saying what it's about. Music and art can be damaged severely by too much information; I say that as somebody that has participated in that. ~ Trent Reznor
Soul Music quotes by Trent Reznor
Rock & roll is dying. It's frightening to think about the music scene 20 years from now. ~ Kurt Cobain
Soul Music quotes by Kurt Cobain
I started out coming from more of a concert music background. It just turns out that 20th-century music techniques lend themselves to scary movies and horror movies. ~ Marco Beltrami
Soul Music quotes by Marco Beltrami
In a way, all recorded music is reduced to the same level, no matter what it is. You find it in the store, you put it on and, "Oh, that's not cool. That's gangsta rap. That's white supremacist punk." But in a way, the content is removed from the intention of the people that made it. That's the commercial level of music. ~ Eyvind Kang
Soul Music quotes by Eyvind Kang
The de-spiritualization of asceticisms is probably the event in the current intellectual history of mankind that is the most comprehensive and, because of its large scale, the hardest to perceive, yet at once the most palpable and atmospherically powerful. Its counterpart is the informalization of spirituality - accompanied by its commercialization in the corresponding subcultures. The threshold values for these two tendencies provide the intellectual landmarks for the twentieth century: the first tendency is represented by sport, which has become a metaphor for achievement as such, and the second by popular music, that devotio postmoderna which covers the lives of contemporary individuals with unpredictable flashes of inner emergency. ~ Peter Sloterdijk
Soul Music quotes by Peter Sloterdijk
I'm happy if my music is being downloaded, whether it's legally or illegally. ~ Joshua Bell
Soul Music quotes by Joshua Bell
Dan: Thats what I love about music.
Gretta: What?
Dan: One of the most banal scenes
is suddenly invested...
with so much meaning.
All these banalities.
Theyre suddenly turned into these...
these beautiful, effervescent pearls.
From music. ~ Begin Again
Soul Music quotes by Begin Again
Reading and gardening are really big for me, along with music and exercise. If I go more than a day or two without a run or a bike ride or something, I start to get kind of itchy and antsy. ~ Mark Deklin
Soul Music quotes by Mark Deklin
never expected. And, at the end, I only had one plea. I hoped the Trace seared us into its soul. When people traveled it in a thousand years, maybe a few of them would hear my parents and me. In fallen leaves and birdsong. In the echo of their own footsteps. In a field of daffodils winking in the breeze. I stood next to the Natchez Trace Parkway sign, flanked by my parents. When I smiled into the camera, with one arm around each of them, I made one final addendum. I wanted to recall every molecule of our adventure. The sound ~ Andra Watkins
Soul Music quotes by Andra Watkins
The source calls to you. Find a quiet place and listen for the voice of creation. Look upon the horizon and see the future of your new life, where you are again a natural soul living in joy and peace. ~ Bryant McGill
Soul Music quotes by Bryant McGill
When there came a sound that I'd never heard the like of in all my born days. Eh, I won't forget that. The whole air was full of it, loud as thunder but far longer, cool and sweet as music over water but strong enough to shake the woods. And I said to myself, 'If that's not the Horn, call me a rabbit. ~ C.S. Lewis
Soul Music quotes by C.S. Lewis
I personally see myself as a musician in the first place. You know, I don't want to say I will be a producer and DJ for the rest of my life. I can totally see myself being in another band in five years, if that's what my heart and soul wants to do, if that's what will make me happy. I'm totally happy to just not DJ anymore. ~ Zedd
Soul Music quotes by Zedd
May not music be described as the mathematics of the sense, mathematics as music of the reason? The musician feels mathematics, the mathematician thinks music: music the dream, mathematics the working life. ~ James Joseph Sylvester
Soul Music quotes by James Joseph Sylvester
It's the music that brings us together. ~ John Oates
Soul Music quotes by John Oates
