Life quotes from Western music artists

Once I’m past thirty, I plan to take off the rearview mirror. I’ve got no use for the past.David Lee Roth

David Lee Roth, nicknamed ‘Diamond Dave’ for his exuberant, flamboyant persona that emphasizes entertainment and sexuality, truly seems to embody the phrase—he doesn’t look back on the past and gives the impression of living in the moment.

He’s the kind of person who surely wouldn’t say things like ‘the good old days were better’ or ‘kids these days…’.

Thanks to tragedy. It’s something my art needs.Kurt Cobain

Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit (Official Music Video)

For musicians—especially when they write their own lyrics—aren’t they, in a sense, drawing on their life experiences as they write? At times like that, it may be that having gone through sadness and hardship, rather than joy and happiness, allows them to create works that get closer to the truth of life.

Still, while I can’t help but wish that sadness would never come, perhaps it’s something creators need.

Follow your heart and keep moving forward; in the end, everything will surely work out.Bob Dylan

Mr. Tambourine Man (Live at the Newport Folk Festival. 1964)

If you live your life day by day, there are times when you feel like complaining about the people around you or venting your frustrations—everyone ends up spending time like that.

But our time is limited! I think it’s telling us that we should focus on what we need to do.

Let’s savor life slowly. If you’re rushing through it, you’ll not only miss the scenery around you, but also overlook where you’re headed—and why.Eddie Cantor

Ida (Sweet As Apple Cider) — Eddie Cantor

Eddie Cantor (1892–1964) was an American actor, comedian, dancer, singer, and writer.

When you’re chasing a dream or eager to achieve something in life as quickly as possible, you can end up just wanting to rush ahead—and grow impatient.

In that impatience, you may even lose sight of whether you’re truly moving toward your dream or why you want it in the first place.

These are words to remember at such times.

The wiser you become, the more you realize there aren’t any definitive answers. What is life? What is God? None of that really matters. Just enjoy what you have and charge ahead.John Lydon

The sex pistols – johnny b´good

John Lydon (born 1956) is a musician from London, England.

He is known for serving as the vocalist of the rock band the Sex Pistols.

When we lose our way and wonder how we’re supposed to live, or find ourselves thinking about why we’re even alive, he encourages us by saying there aren’t any answers to questions like that—so instead, do what you want to do and keep moving forward.

I’m always making sounds with my mouth, whether anyone’s listening or not. That’s how I comb my hair, and that’s how I tie my tie.Tom Waits

Tom Waits – “Hold On” (ANTI-)

Tom Waits is an American singer-songwriter.

With his gravelly voice, he sings lyrics that are like poetry—ranging from warm, gentle songs to startling, surprising ones—yet he keeps offering up music with real character to the world.

When we think that everyone should have a way to express themselves, we may not know what that is, but for him, it was singing.

His words make you hope that everyone can find their own unique way of expressing themselves.
