art basically company experience hoping kept lover music people record recording
Art is basically communication, and I think everyone who's a music lover has had that experience where a record or a recording has kept you company when no one else is around. And I think that is what I'm hoping that people get out of my music.
record
You can do a lot to shape the feeling of a song by the way you record it.
record time tried
I'm proud that with 'Bright Eyes' we've always experimented and tried to make a different record every time out.
glorious hear looking music onto playing putting record romantic sleeve turntable
It's glorious to be able to go onto the Internet and hear any kind of music anywhere, from anywhere, and get it instantly. But there's also something glorious about having a record with a sleeve and looking at the artwork, putting it on the turntable and playing it, there's still something romantic to me about that.
kids ideas records
A kid that picks up a record, he doesn't need to know anything other than the music and have it in his or her headphones. They're getting ideas directly, it's like someone whispering in their ear. That's such a personal way to receive information.
rock-and-roll rocks records
Rock and roll seems to have had a mellowing in the business where it got harder to sell individual records and make money doing that.
band calling records
Our band is different in the sense that we all are involved with a lot of different projects. It's hard to say when we'll record again, but we're not calling it quits right away.
eye attention records
On every Bright Eyes record, there's some kind of sound collage that begins it. Some of them have dialogue, some don't. I like it because it can kind of slow down the attention span a bit. It's a way to draw you in to the rest of the record.
love problem solution
We have a problem with no solution but to love and to be loved.
sound
I scream, but I still don't know why I do it. The sound never stays; it just swells and decays. So what is the point?
