My own eight children all march to the beat of their inner music, and in some cases, it is definitely far away from what I hear. I've had to honor their instincts and their choices, and merely guided them out of harm's way until they could be their own guides.
— Wayne Dyer
We made music that wouldn't be in synch.
— Wayne Coyne
Music is amazing. There's some metaphysical comfort where it allows you to be isolated and alone while telling you that you are not alone... truly, the only cure for sadness is to share it with someone else.
But ya know what, I am a part of something that happened. I'm a part of the music that happened. My voice is one more instrument, is what it is. So that's the way I feel about people who play on sessions.
— Waylon Jennings
All the rappers in rave music are like the sloppy seconds of rappers who couldn't make it.
— Watkin Tudor Jones
We didn't move to L.A. to move to L.A. We moved to make music with Muggs.
I would categorize Die Antwoord as pop music: extreme, futuristic pop music.
All Die Antwoord music, on a weird level, is like relationship music.
How can German music not be represented by an article?
— Wassily Kandinsky
When I'm not touring, I hardly ever leave my house. Part of it is I get to do what I'm most passionate about, which is work on music and make new songs.
— Washed Out
My music is a personal thing, and I feel like if I talk too much about the songs, or if there's too much of my personal life out there, it ruins it.
I've always written pop songs. I tend to take inspiration from more experimental genres, like ambient music, but at the root of the song, it's verse-chorus-verse.
Making music is pretty much the only thing I can do.
I mean, I haven't been completely lacking in some enjoyment of Chuck Berry or Buddy Holly. But I just didn't pay attention to that period of music, obviously.
— Warren Zevon
If I'm not putting out music, I'mma be producing for everybody. I got an artist named Mike Slice. He's nice, and he's real good. I'm doing a bunch of production for all the artists in the industry because I'm as much as a producer as I am an artist.
— Warren G
Making music is fantastic.
— Warren Cuccurullo
I've just had a wonderful time doing Chinese music, and it's been so rewarding for me. I feel like there's so much potential in mandarin music, and there's so much, you know, ground left to be broken.
— Wang Leehom
It really is no different in the way that we make records and shoot music videos. I don't think of the movie as being a great leap out of my current profession.
When we started there was this element of these experiments we were doing where we weren't really sure how the music would play out because the music was all on different players.
I was king of the mountain for a long time, well, I don't want that no more. I like to perform every once in a while for people who want to see me, and cut albums of music that is what I'm really about.
But Buddy was an upper. He was happy. He loved music, and he was really happy. I don't know... I don't believe in reincarnation at all, but if all that stuff is true, then he might have been on his last time around.
Die Antwoord is super pop. It's a pop music.
I think because people can't understand our style, they think it's a joke. Our music isn't intellectual - we make music for the common man.
With a film, you can get into it and love it. With music, you can listen to over and over again, but with music videos, they're like this short little stab.
A painter, who finds no satisfaction in mere representation, however artistic, in his longing to express his inner life, cannot but envy the ease with which music, the most non-material of the arts today, achieves this end. He naturally seeks to apply the methods of music to his own art.
Lend your ears to music, open your eyes to painting, and... stop thinking! Just ask yourself whether the work has enabled you to 'walk about' into a hitherto unknown world. If the answer is yes, what more do you want?
The music is at this weird intersection of dance music and indie music. It's not quite dancey enough to do a full-blown DJ set, and it wasn't quite rock enough for a rock band. But I guess it's what makes us unique - drawing from a lot of different influences.
I think '80s pop music subconsciously informs what I'm doing.
I've struggled with depression before. For me, music was always a very positive way to will myself out of that situation.
One of the great things about music is how it can take you places.
Well, I don't think it ever did, but in the early '60s I got interested in folk music.
For me, the Internet's like music. I don't like working without it. I will tune it out for hours at a time, as I get lost in the work, but I'd know if it wasn't there. If that makes sense.
— Warren Ellis
Leaders must encourage their organizations to dance to forms of music yet to be heard.
— Warren Bennis
It really is, to see that this kind of music is still so popular.
— Wanda Jackson
Most music that you hear is in synch with itself. We were experimenting with the music falling out of synch with itself and even though it is out of synch you mind can still understand what it is meant to be doing.
We love playing music but we're too weird to play music.
I didn't aim at anything except good music.
Mainly what I learned from Buddy... was an attitude. He loved music, and he taught me that it shouldn't have any barriers to it.
We will always make music, but Die Antwoord is... finite.
It's super trippy coming to America because we know everything about it - from music and film. I know what a Southern accent sounds like; I know what a New York accent sounds like.
Whenever we do stuff with Die Antwoord, it's kind of like... I made a lot of music before this group that I'm kind of bored of and forgot about, and everything with Die Antwoord I really love. It's the first time I've made music where, even the first songs we made, I really adore all those songs, and I'm proud of them.
With few exceptions, music has been for some centuries the art which has devoted itself not to the reproduction of natural phenomena, but rather to the expression of the artist's soul, in musical sound.
I put some songs on the Internet back in 2009 - that's kind of how everything started with Washed Out. I had never really planned on being in a band or anything like that. It was kind of a hobby I did on my own, just recording music.
Obviously, you want to honour the sound of your music, but I'm definitely open to trying new things and making myself use a different palette of sounds.
I listen to a lot of different kinds of music, and I feel like I can pull ideas from practically anything. You name it - I'll probably like it.
Honestly, I've just made music so long by myself, in some ways I don't feel I'm a very good collaborator.
I'm very happy in my life, but I do feel that music has a power to transport you to places or to beautiful moments in your past.
Just to know that someone who's 15 years old is listening to my music and the work that I've done - it's definitely a blessing.
Plus, we spend most of our time writing music. Most of the time is spent in the studio in my house.
As people's lifestyles have improved, they've become more and more sensitive toward animals. It's becoming a universal value, like Western classical music.
