I've always loved acoustic music because I've always loved to hear someone's words or just watch them and just get into them. The distancing thing about rock is it's so assaulting.

You can't chop down a symmetry
Jane Siberry
Though the night seems long, you're tears won't fall forever.
Jane Siberry
So many of my friends are still trying to get record deals, and I've had one for 10 years now, where my only goal is to make the best music I can make. I've been very lucky. I have great faith that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, and whatever happens is going to be absolutely right for me.
Jane Siberry
Music is gathering. Taking our scattered thoughts and senses and coalescing us back into our core. Music is powerful. The first few chords can change us where no self-help books can.
Jane Siberry
It takes forever if you go by inertia.
Jane Siberry
I was raised on pop music. Anything classical ran together in a complicated blur.
Jane Siberry
I'm just opening the doors. And a lot of this is new to me - thinking about it, and letting go again and again and again, trusting that if I'm meant to continue working as a musician, it'll happen. If I'm not, then pull out the life support.
Jane Siberry
It's all about consistency, and what makes a child or a dog secure: order, clarity - all those things.
Jane Siberry
I think we're returning to more of the original vibration of music and creativity through the removal of this distortion called the music industry. That's where we're heading. And it'll cut out a lot of music if people ever expected to make money.
Jane Siberry
I try to make my music have the quiet spaces of folk, the intimacy, and the energy of rock.
Jane Siberry
I found it stimulating to study the sciences. It was a side of understanding the universe that I hadn't been exposed to.
Jane Siberry
Definitely I grew up listening to Joni Mitchell, and I think she is a wonderful writer, so she is probably part of me.
Jane Siberry
Hurry, conscious younger people! Get to power quickly so political decisions can be based on the greater good for all rather than the greater gain for few. Hurry, before it is too late!
Jane Siberry
I tour alone. There's no sound check, no back up. I stay with the hosts I am in a family home and it's really nourishing. I just have to remember after the show not to run out into the living room in my pyjamas. Every day, it's a new relationship being built. It's odd and wonderful.
Jane Siberry
If you ask someone if they like music, they look at you strangely. It seems to be a universal given. Like asking someone if they like breathing. It is like breathing. Or air, rather. Flowing without and within. A matrix within which our lives are set. The setting for the tableware of our beings.
Jane Siberry
I think judgment is from within. It's not a God judging. Someone who is nasty - they're the one who has to sleep at night.
Jane Siberry
Harmony is when the sum is greater than the parts. A happy exaggeration.
Jane Siberry
Music is all about training in harmony, training to understand and use musical energy for our greater pleasure by attuning to the natural laws of the universe.
Jane Siberry
Acceptable food rots while we are chased from bins behind restaurants, chased from sleeping on the street, chased from relieving ourselves unless we pay for food or gas, until finally we are so hungry, sleepless, smelly, constipated and beaten-down that we simply die of lack of will to live.
