There's something in everyone only they know.

Make sure the fortune that you seek is the fortune that you need.
Ben Harper
Image
I grew up listening to spiritual music, Blind Willie Johnson and folk.

Sometimes I think to talk too much about music almost cheapens it
Ben Harper
Image
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
Image
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

I've never made a record that didn't sound better than what was in my head - that's sort of my rule.
Ben Harper

I can't not put myself in the shoes of every person I pass.

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.

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
Image
Every moral has a story, every story has and end. Every battle has its glory, and its consequence.
Ben Harper
Image
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.

Image
You're definitely a different person at different stages in your life.
Ben Harper
Image
It turns out that there is something more magnificent than nature. It's love.
Ben Harper
Image
There's no love like a lost love and no pain like a broken heart.
Ben Harper
Image
Sometimes I feel I know strangers Better than I know my friends Why must a beginning Be the means to an end? The stones from my enemies These wounds will mend But I cannot survive The roses from my friends.
Ben Harper
Image
When you have everything, you have everything to lose.

I'm not going to do the Ben Harper house record or the Ben Harper drum 'n' bass record.
Ben Harper
Image
I'm really looking forward to, not more of the same, but a continual growth.
