May you grow up to be righteous, may you grow up to be true. May you always know the truth and see the lights surrounding you. May you always be courageous, stand upright and be strong. May you stay forever young.
Music can save people, but it can't in the commercial way it's being used. It's just too much. It's pollution.
A cat's meow and cow's moo, I can recite them all.
In songs, you have to tell people about something they didn't see and weren't there for, and you have to do it as if you were.
People have a hard time accepting anything that overwhelms them.
Being noticed can be a burden. Jesus got himself crucified because he got himself noticed. So I disappear a lot.
Jesus, that ear. He should donate it to The Smithsonian. Brian Wilson, he made all his records with four tracks, but you couldn't make his records if you had a hundred tracks today.
They say everything can be replaced, Yet every distance is not near. So I remember every face Of every man who put me here. I see my light come shining From the west unto the east. Any day now, any day now, I shall be released.
Steal a little, and they put you in jail. Steal a lot, and they make you king.
If you want to keep your memories, you first have to live them.
All I can do is be me, whoever that is.

Sometimes you just have to bite your upper lip and put sunglasses on.
How many times can a man turn his head, and pretend that he just doesn't see?
