Piano Quotes

Look at the piano. You’ll notice that there are white notes and black notes. Figure out the difference between them and you’ll be able to make whatever kind of music you want Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I start just on the piano with a melody or musical idea that kind of leads me to certain lyrics Picture Quote #1

Other than a few years of piano as a kid, I don’t have all that much musical training. I played piano for all the musicals in high school and was in a few bands, but never really considered music as a viable career until I was in college Picture Quote #1

The only instrument I can play is piano. Whenever I make songs at home, I play the piano and make them on the piano Picture Quote #1

Once I picked up an electric guitar, I lost interest in piano, and I just wanted to rock. I studied piano for so long, I got burned out on it Picture Quote #1

You can take lessons to become almost anything: flying lessons, piano lessons, skydiving lessons, acting lessons, race car driving lessons, singing lessons. But there’s no class for comedy. You have to be born with it. God has to give you this gift Picture Quote #1

I like things matching. I have an upright bass, a drum kit and a grand piano that’s the same color. I tend to overthink things Picture Quote #1

I just go into the studio, look at the lyrics for the first time when I put them on the piano, and go. If I haven’t got it within 40 minutes, I give up. It’s never changed, the thrill has never gone, because I don’t know what I’m going to get next Picture Quote #1

I’m not everybody’s cup of tea. But sometimes criticism can be hurtful. Be respectful. I’m a good piano player, I can sing well, I write good songs. If you don’t like it, fair enough. But give me a break Picture Quote #1

Of course, it does depend on the people, but sometimes I’m invited places to kind of brighten up a dinner table like a musician who’ll play the piano after dinner, and I know you’re not really invited for yourself. You’re just an ornament Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid, my parents gave me piano lessons and guitar lessons for a while, but I was never very good at it. I have big, sort of awkward hands. It’s hard to keep going when you don’t get any better Picture Quote #1

My parents didn’t have records, they didn’t have radios, and they didn’t listen to music. My grandmother was my main connection to art and music. She could play piano very well, and she had perfect pitch Picture Quote #1

As for the piano, the faster her fingers flew over it, the more he marveled. She struck the keys with aplomb and ran from one end of the keyboard to the other without a stop Picture Quote #1

Outlaws, like lovers, poets, and tubercular composers who cough blood onto piano keys, do their finest work in the slippery rays of the moon Picture Quote #1

The whole work of man really seems to consist in nothing but proving to himself every minute that he is a man and not a piano key Picture Quote #1

Will’s hand looked brown and sunburnt by contrast, their fingers dovetailed together like piano keys Picture Quote #1

I only write when I’m angry or sad, so because that’s when I just have to write... If I’m having a good time and I’m happy and things are going really well, why would I want to stop what I’m doing to go and write at the piano? Picture Quote #1

Composing for the prepared piano is not a criticism of the instrument. I’m only being practical Picture Quote #1

I tended to favour the piano over the guitar because it stays in one place, which is what I like to do Picture Quote #1

When I had nothing else, I had my mother and the piano. And you know what? They were all I needed Picture Quote #1

Some play the piano well and some badly and there is a great difference in the melodies they produce Picture Quote #1

I was very depressed when I was 19... I would go back to my apartment every day and I would just sit there. It was quiet and it was lonely. It was still. It was just my piano and myself. I had a television and I would leave it on all the time just to feel like somebody was hanging out with me Picture Quote #1

The process is always the same. I get an inspiration for a new song, I put it down on paper immediately so I won’t lose it. When I am ready to go to the studio with it, I play it a few times on the piano and edit, add, and type the lyrics and take it to the studio. Sometimes I don’t have anything on paper Picture Quote #1

I love being a pavement artist; seriously, I do. It’s like when guys who would normally hate being freakishly tall discover basketball, or when girls with abnormally long fingers sit down at a piano. Blending in, going unseen, being a shadow in the sun is what I’m good at. Seeing the shadows, it turns out, is not my natural gift Picture Quote #1

And for all those years, we never talked about the disaster at the recital or my terrible accusations afterward at the piano bench. All that remained unchecked, like a betrayal that was now unbreakable. So I never found a way to ask her why she had hoped something so large that failure was inevitable. And even worse, I never asked her what frightened me the most: Why had she given up hope? Picture Quote #1

I started taking piano lessons when I was about four years old. My parents were both musicians. So I took piano lessons. I didn’t like the lessons very much, but I was enchanted by music. Music always transported me somewhere. Singing made feel good and being able to play the piano made me feel good Picture Quote #1

My hands look terrible but I can do anything I want to do, so, you know, I just think I’m playing all around with more good taste and not dashing up and down the piano Picture Quote #1

I guess, you know, if I didn’t make it with the piano, I guess I would’ve been the biggest bum Picture Quote #1

Just with the basic one guitar, one piano and one vocal and an audience, I think that the intimacy comes through more. People feel much more connected to the song because there’s nothing in the way, and I actually enjoy doing that Picture Quote #1
