More quotes by Cass McCombs
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 don't think I'm even a musician. I don't play a lot of instruments, not really a soloist or anything.
Cass McCombs
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.
Cass McCombs
To me, craft work is the ultimate. Maybe I got this idea from the autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini, who was employed as a sculptor to the state and church, making coins and things. While he admired Michelangelo, he also made fun of his spiritual angst with art.

All these biopics and biographies and people gossiping about so-and-so's drug abuse or who's sleeping with who, it's just a bunch of nonsense.
Cass McCombs
Try to keep your mind. Try not to eat bad, try not to wake up with too bad of a hangover.

A baseball team is like a band. Because, conceptually, there are no heroes in baseball - there's just the team.

When I'm trying to write a song for someone else, you can only see anything through your own eyes.
Cass McCombs
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
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.
Cass McCombs
I think I prefer singing in falsetto. I like the way it sounds. It doesn't sound like my natural voice. It sounds like a character.
Cass McCombs
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.
Cass McCombs
I don't like going to the studio. It just seems too cold. There's no crowd to react to, or share anything with it's just talking into a microphone that's going into a computer.
Cass McCombs
Making music and art is about expressing something that's universally human, maybe even beyond human, at best.
Cass McCombs
I love being lost! I don't need to control anything. Even with romantic partnerships, I don't need to control anyone. 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.
Cass McCombs
I don't need to control anything. Even with romantic partnerships, I don't need to control anyone.
Cass McCombs
I'm not trying to write for the masses. I don't care.
Cass McCombs
I don't live anywhere, so that's what's fun about tours.
Cass McCombs
I think I try to do a lot of things to weed out casual fans.
