More quotes by Cass McCombs

I don't know about timeless. I actually think most of what I do is completely modern, but universally modern. Who decides what timeless even means? Are the things that we consider timeless now going to, in fact, be considered timeless in 300 years? Probably not.

I took piano lessons when I was a little kid, but even before that, you're singing in the classroom and wherever. Gosh, children are always singing. But I took music lessons, some choir and things like that at school. I learned how to play the guitar when I was about 13... ancient history.

I project love, music and love, and I pray for peace. A good song cuts straight to the heart sometimes it doesn't need to be too many lines - of course, I do love a good story.
Cass McCombs
I write for myself, and I write for my friends and people who I have a connection with. I try to give some dignity to peoples' lifestyles that tend to be ignored.
Cass McCombs
As long as there are a few people there, I can lose myself, which is the ultimate goal. And that's happening more and more the non-musical world is becoming less and less interesting to me.

Elvis Presley wore a Star of David and a cross around his neck and, when someone asked him about it, he said, It makes me think. I love that quote. It's simple. It's beautiful. It's true.

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 think a master craftsman is someone who is unpretentious. He has a physical object in front of him and, while he works with a higher aim, he doesn't let his personality get in the way of his art. It's simply about the task at hand and to make it as functional and necessary to the world as he can.
