Ben Harper
I write songs and I sing them from the deepest part of my existence and I hope they connect with the deepest part of yours.
Ben Harper
But I would never insult the people that love this music and I would never insult the blessing of music in my life and I would never insult myself by playing uninspired music.
Ben Harper
I'm not going to do the Ben Harper house record or the Ben Harper drum 'n' bass record.
Ben Harper
If interviews are just interviews or if music is just music, why are we even doing it? You only get so many hours in a lifetime, man.
Ben Harper
I really feel there's no limitation on what this band can do in the studio or on the stage. That's an empowering feeling - that we can bring a song to life.
Ben Harper
