Music
Quotes - If you cannot teach me to fly, teach me to sing
“Have
you ever heard somebody sing some lyrics that you've never sung before, and you
realize you've never sung the right words in that song? You hear them and all
of a sudden you say to yourself, 'Life in the Fast Lane?' That's what they're
saying right there? You think, 'why have I been singing 'wipe in the vaseline?'
how many people have heard me sing 'wipe in the vaseline?' I am an idiot.”

you need this one day in a year to show everyone else you truly care for “your

“I
never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn't resolve. But I was outside
the Bagdad Theater in Portland one night when I saw a man playing the
saxophone. I stood there for fifteen minutes, and he never opened his eyes.
After
that I liked jazz music.

is as if they are showing you the way.

this happened.”

“And
I remember when I met him, it was so clear that he was the only one for me. We
both knew it, right away. And as the years went on, things got more difficult –
we were faced with more challenges. I begged him to stay. Try to remember what
we had at the beginning.
He
was charismatic, magnetic, electric and everybody knew it. When he walked in
every woman’s head turned, everyone stood up to talk to him. He was like this
hybrid, this mix of a man who couldn’t contain himself. I always got the sense
that he became torn between being a good person and missing out on all of the
opportunities that life could offer a man as magnificent as him. And in that
way, I understood him and I loved him.
I
loved him, I loved him, I loved him.
And
I still love him. I love him.”

“When
I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking
words of wisdom, let it be.
And
in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,
speaking
words of wisdom, let it be.
Let
it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Whisper
words of wisdom, let it be.
And
when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
there
will be an answer, let it be.
For
though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,
there
will be an answer. let it be.
Let
it be, let it be, .....
And
when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me,
shine
until tomorrow, let it be.
I
wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking
words of wisdom, let it be.
Let
it be, let it be, .....”
