More quotes by Cass McCombs
I think I have some very meaningful relationships with people we all do. At the same time, I recognize that everyone is following their own heart there's been people who have left my life, and I don't have a problem with that. This is a transitory world we're all spirits just looking for love and finding it and holding on.

Opinions only carry weight in the second or third person.

I don't think I'm a particularly somber human being.

The writing of the record didn't take long, because I just have a huge stack of papers and I just pluck from the stack. It took a long time because it's very expensive to make records in fact, I think it's a complete rip-off.

Making music and art is about expressing something that's universally human, maybe even beyond human, at best.
Cass McCombs
Making music and art is about expressing something that's universally human, maybe even beyond human, at best. To make it about the artist and to dwell upon biographical information can only make it singular, and I am really, really disgusted by that.

This is rock'n'roll, not classical music. It's about people working together.
Cass McCombs
Bringing the individual into it music only distracts from the universal and makes it trivial. And then it's easy to wash your hands of it because you might not be from their background, or you might disagree with their personal perspective. So you discount it and go back into your corner instead of coming out and engaging with everything.

It's not my way to talk about my feelings. They're impudent to myself, so it wouldn't make any sense if I tried to explain them to anyone else. I've never been to therapy - not interested in it.
Cass McCombs
I don't think I'm even a musician. I don't play a lot of instruments, not really a soloist or anything.

It's not like that when you're a songwriter - songwriters aren't like pulp writers or journalists, even. You just follow the muse. It's called muse-ic. Whenever the muse decides to bestow her inspiration on the songwriter, then the song is born.

I wouldn't claim to know what another person is thinking. I can imagine it, but it's my interpretation, and I try to make that clear. It's my vision of what I think their life is. I don't think there are empirical truths in that regard.

Everyone wants to be well-loved and appreciated but, at the same time, there are some people that just don't want to be your friend, and there's nothing you can do or say to change that.

If you've ever sang in falsetto, you know that your throat is between your voice and your mouth. In a standard voice, you sing from your belly. And when you sing in a falsetto, you're blocking that. It gives it a filter. It gives it a character. It's less revealing.
