Life's the longest picture you're ever gonna take.

If I fall, I fall. I'll rise up like anybody else.

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.

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.

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.

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
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
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
Image
Don't be discouraged by writer's block. Writer's block just means you need to listen to other music.
Ben Harper
Image
I can't not put myself in the shoes of every person I pass.
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
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.

Image
My choice is what I choose to do and if I'm causing no harm it shouldn't bother you. Your choice is who you choose to be and if you're causin' no harm, then your alright with me.

I love being on the road, I love playing.

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.
