Zitat des Tages von Cass McCombs:
I wouldn't go into the studio if I didn't have a band who's ready, willing, and able.
Even if I'm writing music, it's with a lyric in mind, to communicate some kind of feeling.
I was just a folk singer. I cut my teeth on the streets, you know.
I don't care much about politics. That kind of witchcraft I stay away from because people end up dead. I'd rather die for music.
A baseball team is like a band. Because, conceptually, there are no heroes in baseball - there's just the team.
I've always littered my songs with jokes. You might need to dig a little deeper to find the humor, but I would totally object to being some kind of distraught personality. I've never tried to attach myself to that.
I think I have some very meaningful relationships with people; we all do. At the same time, I recognize that everyone is following their own heart; there's been people who have left my life, and I don't have a problem with that. This is a transitory world; we're all spirits just looking for love and finding it and holding on.
People expect not just songwriters but all personalities to pontificate about their egos - they just wanna see someone talking about themselves constantly. I'm not interested in that.
Lyrics are my racket; music is play - the fluff stuff.
I project love, music and love, and I pray for peace. A good song cuts straight to the heart; sometimes it doesn't need to be too many lines - of course, I do love a good story.
It's hard to make out the difference between insults and bad advice.
A lot of people don't know what it's like to actually be hungry. I do. I've also slept on the streets.
Music is the marriage of the feelings of the living to the wisdom of the dead.
I grew up in the suburbs and was raised on rap radio, so it took me a long time to stumble upon the acoustic guitar as a resource for anything.
I just write songs whenever I feel like it, whenever they come to me.
Opinions only carry weight in the second or third person.
I've always thought about myself as somewhat of a folk musician. I just write words. I don't think I'm even a musician. I don't play a lot of instruments, not really a soloist or anything.
