More quotes by Amos Lee
I love when people are coming up and they're working hard and you can see that they're really focused on the process to their music. I really dig that. As a musician, it's nice to see people who really care about the process.
Amos Lee
I'm not a mass-appeal artist.
Amos Lee
I think most of the time when people have big disagreements and big misunderstandings, when time lessens that blow it creates a deeper understanding for both people.
Amos Lee
I grew up working at a record store and listening to vinyl. Even if it's side A and B, there's always this continuity that really turned me on about music.
Amos Lee
I live a pretty anonymous life.
Amos Lee
I do not go on my Wikipedia page. There's just too much weird information on there for me to pick apart.
Amos Lee
As an experience, as a listener, for me, I miss the record store. I miss going in and knowing the guy at the counter and being like, Hey, knowing that he was going to hate the record I put on the counter, and still buying it. That takes some guts.
Amos Lee
Nothing is more powerful than beauty in a wicked world.

Amos Lee
If you're a novelist, you have sort of themes that run throughout novels. You start a novel and you finish a novel. With record-making in the singer-songwriter world or whatever it is that I do, it's a little different because there is no specific arc that is necessarily, like it's not a concept record.
Amos Lee
Songwriting isn't always something that's directly proportionate to the experience.
Amos Lee
Genre, to me, is not all that important, and it never has been.
Amos Lee
We all need a place that we can go, And feel over the rainbow
Amos Lee
I like down-to-earth people.
Amos Lee
My favorite time in music is probably 1970-75. Still Bill by Bill Withers, Harvest by Neil Young, John Prine's first album, James Taylor's One Man Dog-I hope I can bring the same sort of spirit I hear on those records.
Amos Lee
The closest place that I feel like I come to having religious moments is always musical.
Amos Lee
I don't really know what 'folk music' means anymore.
