appealing good guy masses music needs people popular powerful song stick street understand
I understand that that song is what will stick out, ... And the guy on the street only needs to know what has become popular -- that's what is so good and powerful about the music industry. It's about appealing to masses of people with popular music. And hey, it's good that people know who you are.
held people together video
People think its more high-tech than it really is with all the video and all that. It's still held together with duct tape.
american-musician cat compared england honoured loved people song
I was in England and I know Cat Stevens told some journalists that he loved our song and was honoured that people compared our song to his song.
add attempted beloved change crazy expect flaming guitar hard layers lips might nature pedal people production recorded stacked steel tracks tried
We really attempted it in a full-force Flaming Lips behemoth production style. We recorded 100 tracks of our beloved pedal steel guitar and 100 guitar overdubs for the music, and for the vocals we stacked all these crazy harmonies. We wanted to add different layers that people might expect from us, but we tried hard not to change the fundamental nature of the song.
audiences bigger good interested music people popular potential reach three
It's good that we have the potential in the marketplace to reach bigger audiences, ... We're three people who are interested in music as art, but most of it won't ever be marketed as popular stuff.
american-musician endlessly kids people
It was endlessly entertaining, watching people beat each other up. All the little kids in the neighborhood would come and watch... and then we'd beat them up as well.
american-musician britney fanatical intended people side spears
We never thought it would be something everyone would listen to. We never thought people who listen to Britney Spears would run to listen to it. It was intended for people on the fanatical side of production and hi-fi.
american-musician believe damaged freedom given people
People have given me the freedom and believe in me enough to say if I want to do these things that I will find a way to make it work. I don't know if they think I'm crazy, drug damaged or just an old weirdo.
assumed band money people promoting single trying
It isn't all about some band promoting a single or a promoter trying to make money or something. (When they started), I think people just assumed it would be this disorganized thing.... The more these things work, the more they're successful, the better off these things will be.
audience audiences listen music people perfect
People who listen to our music get it, and the ones that don't -- well, it's not for them anyway, ... Our audience is perfect for what we're doing. We don't feel under-appreciated at all.
thinking animal people
I think I'm really lucky that the things I'm able to love - people, animals - it's like the more you put yourself into it, the more you get out of it.
people alive want
I know that is absolutely true for people when they are young - you don't want to be alive if the things that you love in your life aren't there.
eating-good people creative
Eating good things and being around people who are happy - you want to be influenced by the world because it has so many cool things about it, but it also has a bunch of bad things about it. Being around people who are happy and people who are creative, that's what you do if you're lucky in your life.
people decision shy
Occasionally there are people who are not like me, and I forget that they're more introverted or shy, or just don't want to make a decision so quickly.
