We sing because we can't speak anymore.
Singing is as much the language of holy joy as praying is of holy desire.
If I can sit down at my keyboard and have a melody that says something that I can't with words, that's a really beautiful thing.
Music is the soul of language.
Music is just another language, but it's very special because it crosses everyone's borders.
I've always felt that music is more expressive than dialogue. I've always said that my best dialogue and screenwriter is Ennio Morricone. Because, many times, it is more important a note or an orchestration than a line said.
The language of tones belongs equally to all mankind, and melody is the absolute language in which the musician speaks to every heart.
Music, in its true essence, has got no language. You don't listen to anybody because he is black or white or because he belongs to a particular geographical region. You listen to him because you like what he does.
A bird sings, a child prattles, but it is the same hymn; hymn indistinct, inarticulate, but full of profound meaning.
