"In the end I think of music, as SAVING GRACE to all humanity." HENRY MILLER
"Music is well said to be the speech of angels;
in fact nothing among the utterances allowed to man is felt to be so divine. It brings us close to INFINITE."***THOMAS CARLYLE

Sorry to bang your Thread, but how about QUOTES FROM MUSIC(SONG) instead?
My fav. one from Blind Melon, "No Rain":
And I don't understand why I sleep all day
And I start to complain that there's no rain

DWI, No problemo
here is a quote from Peter Gabriel's "I Grieve", soundtrack from the movie "City of Angels"
Did I dream this belief
or did I believe this dream?
Now I will find relief
I grieve

Here is the one from Incubus, "Megalomaniac"
Its' unkind but, If I met you in a scissor fight
I'd cut off both your wings on principle alone

Here's some Bjork- "Human behavior"
If you ever get close to a human
And human behaviour
Be ready to get confused
There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
To human behaviour

The Devlins
Song title: "there is a light"
Alone on an ocean
Alone in a sea of regret
You look for a sign to tell you if it's over yet
But there is a light, there is a light, there is a light
There is a light, there is a light, there is a light

Here's the THE SUNSCREEN SONG by Baz Luhrman.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ?9...Wear sunscreen
*****PRELUDE****
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked...YOU’RE not as FAT as you imagine.
Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do ONE THING everyday that SCARES you
SING
Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.
FLOSS
Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind...the race is long, and in the end it’s only WITH YOURSELF.
Remember the COMPLIMENTS you receive, forget the INSULTS; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what to do with your life...the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t.
Get plenty of calcium
Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.
Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary...what ever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either - your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s.
Enjoy your body, use it every way you can...don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own.
Dance...even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
READ the directions, even if you don’t follow them.
Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you FEEL UGLY.
49 second break in speech -- Quindon singing
Get to know your parents, you’ll never know when they’ll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography in lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you HARD; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you SOFT.
TRAVEL
Accept certain INALIEANABLE TRUTHS, price will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out.
Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time it’s 40, it will look 85.
BE CAREFUL WHOSE ADVICE YOU BUY, but be patient with THOSE WHO SUPPLY IT. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen...
