James Taylor
In my mind I'm going to Carolina. Can't you see the sunshine, can't you just feel the moonshine? Ain't it just like a friend of mine, to hit me from behind, and I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind.
James Taylor
I don't find the songs they find me. I just strum my guitar and wait for a lyric to come.
James Taylor
Quart of whiskey a day for months working hard on a long poem. Wife hiding bottles, myself hiding bottles. Murderous and suicidal. Many hospitalizations, many alibis.
James Taylor
It's true that I can write a song and not really be sure what the meaning of it is.
James Taylor
I told you that I love you, I was only telling a lie. I'll be long gone come the crack of dawn and I believe the word is goodbye.
James Taylor
I think good music makes you feel free, and if people feel free when they come to a show or listen to my music, that would mean the world to me.
James Taylor
We all have to face pain, and pain makes us grow.
James Taylor
Ireland, Italy and Brazil are the most musical places for me. They're extremely musical cultures and anything you pitch they basically catch.
