More quotes by Ben Harper
My head works in music, so there's always music there.
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
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
Every moral has a story, every story has and end. Every battle has its glory, and its consequence.
Ben Harper
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
As a songwriter, I don't rush. I may sit on lyrics for two years before the music hits.
Ben Harper
You're living life in real time, man, and we' ve got a good amount of work to do for each other. Hiding is not an option and you're going to step out and you're going to make mistakes.
Ben Harper
I refuse to age disgracefully in rock 'n' roll.
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
If I fall, I fall. I'll rise up like anybody else.
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'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
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
We've changed our reflections, but inside we're just a child.
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
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 you're gonna live, then live it up. If you're gonna give, then give it up. If you're gonna walk the Earth, then walk it proud. If you're gonna say the word, you got to say it loud.
Ben Harper
There's something in everyone only they know.
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
I'm really looking forward to, not more of the same, but a continual growth.
Ben Harper
