Image
Every time feels like my first time. And I just find that the process of it feeds into one's own self-obsession.
Ben Harper
Image
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
Image
It will make a weak man mighty. it will make a mighty man fall. It will fill your heart and hands or leave you with nothing at all. It's the eyes for the blind and legs for the lame. It is the love for hate and pride for shame. That's the power of the gospel.

We've changed our reflections, but inside we're just a child.
Ben Harper
Image
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
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
Image
I just want to keep doing what I feel.

There's no room in my life for religion. Religion is separation and segregation of God. How can you segregate the Almighty?
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.

I'm not going to do the Ben Harper house record or the Ben Harper drum 'n' bass record.
Ben Harper
Image
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
Image
If I fall, I fall. I'll rise up like anybody else.
Ben Harper
Image
Don't let what you have to heal from blind you to how much there is to heal for.
Ben Harper
Image
The spirit is what guides my life, and I'm humbly on my knees in thanks for guidance and direction every day. But God is not something to be preached, it's something to be lived.
Ben Harper
Image
What enables me to believe in anything is hope.
Ben Harper
Image
Music is the last true voice of the human spirit. It can go beyond language, beyond age, and beyond color straight to the mind and heart of all people.
Ben Harper
Image
Every moral has a story, every story has and end. Every battle has its glory, and its consequence.
Ben Harper
Image
As a songwriter, I don't rush. I may sit on lyrics for two years before the music hits.
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
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.
