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.

More quotes by Ben Harper
When your whole world is shaken from all the risks we have taken, Dance with me, dance with me into the colors of the dusk.
Ben Harper
It was a huge deal, a huge musical discovery that became life lessons learned. You can't return from having an experience like that. The Blind Boys are truly the deepest well of American musical heritage you can discover.
Ben Harper
A candle throws its light into the darkness, in a nasty world so shines a good deed. Make sure the fortune that you seek is the fortune that you need.
Ben Harper
I'm not going to do the Ben Harper house record or the Ben Harper drum 'n' bass record.
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
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
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
I knew a girl, her name was Truth. She was a terrible liar.
Ben Harper
It turns out that there is something more magnificent than nature. It's love.
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
I want to try to not be the child that had to go through too much too young. I want to be who I am now and not who I was then.
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
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
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
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 love being on the road, I love playing.
Ben Harper
I can't not put myself in the shoes of every person I pass.
Ben Harper
I just want to keep doing what I feel.
Ben Harper
There's no room in my life for religion. Religion is separation and segregation of God. How can you segregate the Almighty?
Ben Harper
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.
Ben Harper
