More quotes by Ben Harper
You look like gold. I've been fooled before, but now I know I've made the mistake in the past. But now I, now I know the difference from gold and brass.
Ben Harper
The very thing that drives you, can drive you insane Got a head full of thought crimes and a number with no name Got an eleventh hour Jesus and a mouth full of blame A casket lined with silver dollars and a number with no name.
Ben Harper
They say time will make all this go away. But it's time that has taken my tomorrows and turned them into yesterdays.
Ben Harper
There's so much there, there's so much to heal for.
Ben Harper
To go through this life and see it through - what it really is - and not be insane or addicted, is a minor miracle for anyone.
Ben Harper
Make sure the fortune that you seek is the fortune that you need.
Ben Harper
I'm more afraid of falling than I am of flying high. I'm not as scared of dying as I am of growing old. Every battle has its glory and its consequence.
Ben Harper
I'm not going to do the Ben Harper house record or the Ben Harper drum 'n' bass record.
Ben Harper
As a songwriter, I don't rush. I may sit on lyrics for two years before the music hits.
Ben Harper
The lifetime we've left behind with strangers Promises and lies both have their dangers. I just can't be wrong enough and I can't hide for long enough So far away, but I still feel your pain.
Ben Harper
My band is the best band in the world, period. So, I insist on every song being better than it is on the record. So by the end of the tour, we have to be playing the song better than how it's recorded.
Ben Harper
I get diminishing returns when I bore myself in an interview.
Ben Harper
Every single time I step into the studio, I say, 'Can I still do this? Do I still have it? Have I ever had it?' I suppose there's a good amount of self-loathing that goes into any form of artisanship.
Ben Harper
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone - it's possible. But creatively, it's more like painting: you can't just use the same colours in every painting. It's just not an option. You can't take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
Ben Harper
There's only one proper way a song should go, but you've got to be patient enough to let them come together time wise. Sometimes it's lightning in a bottle and you got the song. But oftentimes it shows up.
Ben Harper
The music is in the lead here, and a large part of this, I have no idea what I'm doing. I feel a closer bond with the craft of songwriting, stronger than I ever have.
Ben Harper
I just want to keep doing what I feel.
Ben Harper
I'm really looking forward to, not more of the same, but a continual growth.
Ben Harper
Fearlessness, absolutely. Discipline. You also need open-minded creativeness that lets everything in. You never want to lose a word or a phrase, yet every one should count. Always the best language possible. And, finally, knowing when to leave it alone. Stop when it's done.
Ben Harper
Distance is temporary, but our love is permanent. This may be the last time I see you, but if you keep me in your heart, together we shall be eternal if you believe, we shall never part.
Ben Harper
