The Harvest Band

"I believe it's no good to talk about your songs; it's wrong.
You should leave your songs alone and let them say what they say;
let people take what they want from them.

- Paul Simon

"I'm not very good technically, but I can make it fuckin' howl and move."

- John Lennon

"Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks, and invents."

- Ludwig van Beethoven

"Find a way to find your reasons,
harvest all the seeds you sow,
don't give up on love, don't give up the seasons,
keep gathering stones."

-Rocco

"One good thing about music, when it hits, you feel no pain."

- Bob Marley

"When you play from your heart, all of a sudden there's no gravity.
You don't feel the weight of the world, of bills, of anything.
That's why people love it. Your so-called insurmountable
problems disappear, and instead of problems you get possibilities."

- Carlos Santana

"Lovers have come and gone, but only my mistress stays.
She is beautiful and gentle. She is a swinger. She has grace.
To hear her speak, you can't believe your ears.
She is ten thousand years old.
She is as modern as tomorrow, a brand new woman every day.
Music is my mistress, and she plays second fiddle to no one."

- Duke Ellington

"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

"Music produces a kind of pleasure that
human nature cannot do without."

- Confucius
