Sound Quotes

If we could hear the squirrel’s heartbeat, the sound of the grass growing, we should die of that roar Picture Quote #1

The Grateful Dead played for three hours on a given night, plus sound check Picture Quote #1

I think playing a horn has had a great influence on my singing. I’ve tried to approach singing from an instrumental mindset. Space is just as important as sound Picture Quote #1

Something taken off the page can sound great, I guess. Usually it doesn’t. It seems like lately Pitchfork is trying to champion lyric writers more Picture Quote #1

I didn’t want my records to sound like anybody else, and when I’ve got my guys in the studio, I have a language with those guys because we work together every day. A lot of times, you bring in outside guys, studio players, whatever, and they’re great musicians. It’s just that they don’t necessarily play the way I want it to be played Picture Quote #1

Sound has spoiled the most ancient of the world’s arts, the art of pantomime, and has canceled out the great beauty that is silence Picture Quote #1

I love fire. I just think it’s hypnotic and great, but I’ve got to tell you - on a sound stage, that stuff scares me Picture Quote #1

Sound health is the greatest of gifts; contentedness, the greatest of riches; trust, the greatest of qualities Picture Quote #1

The greatest thing is nobody cares that I’m fifty years old. They only care what I sound like Picture Quote #1

I always got a kick out of it when they called it the California Sound because it really came out of Liverpool and Greenwich Village Picture Quote #1

The first thing that we need to say is that God is grieving, too. Uh, a lot of people try to make it sound like ‘well everything that happens is God’s will.’ That’s nonsense. God allows everything, but God does not choose everything Picture Quote #1

I do think there’s gonna always be a group of country people that are always going to love the old traditional sound Picture Quote #1

I like the sound of laughter. I was the guy in the group of friends that would always make the friends laugh. And everyone was like, ‘You should do stand up,’ so I gave it a shot, and ta-da! They were right Picture Quote #1

Look closely, and you can see where the grooves of a record widen, indicating a sparseness that can only be a bass solo, or grow denser to accommodate a cresting density of sound Picture Quote #1

As always, the ones who aren’t saints make the most noise...a single tree falling makes a sound, but a whole forest growing doesn’t Picture Quote #1

My sound comes from my inspiration, which is people like Aretha and Jay Z and Kanye, as well as everyone from the Whitneys and Mariahs to Destiny’s Child and Usher. They all inspired me growing up Picture Quote #1

This is going to sound really sad, but I didn’t really have any heartthrobs when I was growing up. I was a bit of a geek Picture Quote #1

I’ve been used for writing rhythm guitar chords for a long time because it’s so easy to play and chords just sound good on it Picture Quote #1

We tune differently, and we use some tricks. There’s just the two of us for much of a concert, so we want a big sound. We do use some guitar effects, distortion and delay. Playing cello with distortion sounds so good Picture Quote #1

I try to become a singer. The guitar has always been abused with distortion units and funny sorts of effects, but when you don’t do that and just let the genuine sound come through, there’s a whole magic there Picture Quote #1

Surf music is actually just the sound of the waves played on a guitar: that wet, splashy sound Picture Quote #1

I realized that I really didn’t like the sound of the ukulele so much so I started playing the guitar Picture Quote #1

I was left with an urge to make the guitar sound like things it shouldn’t be able to sound like Picture Quote #1

I don’t understand why some people will only accept a guitar if it has an instantly recognizable guitar sound. Finding ways to use the same guitar people have been using for 50 years to make sounds that no one has heard before is truly what gets me off Picture Quote #1

There’s so much to be said for making your guitar sound like a synthesizer and try to make your drummer sound like a drum machine Picture Quote #1

In recording, you’re trying to make something work sonically - getting the right inflection on the right guitar sound - and maybe a part that would be musically great doesn’t sound as cool Picture Quote #1

I like the sound of a Silvertone amp for myself. It’s kind of cleaner guitar sounds when necessary, maybe a little less metal-sounding. But it really doesn’t matter what amp I play through; it’s really the way I voice chords and play guitar, how I strike the strings Picture Quote #1

Every demo I do has a mandolin or resonator on it - some element of the bluegrass or classic country world that I grew up listening to and that first drew me in. And then I always try to find somewhere for a bluesy guitar sound, because that’s also what I love Picture Quote #1

... I played ‘Eruption’ two times for the record, and we kept the one that seemed to flow ... there’s a mistake at the top end of it whenever I hear it, I always think, Man I could’ve played it better ... but I like the way it sounds. I’d never heard a guitar sound like that before Picture Quote #1

I was pillaging a lot of music that had nothing to do with guitar playing, using a lot of strange tunings and voicings and chord structures that aren’t really that natural to the guitar; I ended up developing a harmonic palette that’s not particularly natural to the guitar because I was always trying to make my guitar sound like something else Picture Quote #1
