Welcome to fight club. the first rule of fight club is: you do not talk about fight club. the second rule of fight club is: you do not talk about fight club! third rule of fight club: if someone yells “stop!”, goes limp, or taps out, the fight is over. fourth rule: only two guys to a fight. fifth rule: one fight at a time, fellas. sixth rule: the fights are bare knuckle. no shirt, no shoes, no weapons. seventh rule: fights will go on as long as they have to. and the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at fight club, you have to fight.

I always think of each night as a song. or each moment as a song. but now i'm seeing we don't live in a single song. we move from song to song, from lyric to lyric, from chord to chord. there is no ending here. it's an infinite playlist.
Song Moving Night
We cannot fight against collectivism, unless we fight against its moral base: altruism. we cannot fight against altruism, unless we fight against its epistemological base: irrationalism. we cannot fight against anything, unless we fight for something--and what we must fight for is the supremacy of reason and a view of man as a rational being.

When you sit down and write a song, you kind of have the idea for the song, and you sit there at the piano and you kinda just write it. and then of course later there's some dinking around with it and changing some stuff. but there's this thing that happens when the song first comes out, that sort of magic when it first comes out of the ether, and you can't even really explain where it comes from. that happens so much with music, and people understand that with music. but i really think that a lot of movie and tv should be the same way.
Song Writing Thinking
For me, a song doesn't really take flight until it has a lyric on it. ...without a lyric that i'm happy with, it could be the greatest song ever melodically or arrangement-wise, but it doesn't have any resonance.
Wise Song Writing
The song that i will sing is an old song, so old that none knows who made it. it has been handed down through generations and was taught to me when i was but a little lad. it is now my own song. it belongs to me. this is a holy song (medicine-song), and great is its power. the song tells how, as i sing, i go through the air to a holy place where yusun (the supreme being) will give me power to do wonderful things. i am surrounded by little clouds, and as i go through the air i change, becoming spirit only.

Similar Quotes
I like challenging myself. i like the challenge of rapping to fast beats, rapping to beats that are super slow, whatever. i like the challenges, so i'm not afraid to take on any piece of music and create a song to it if it feels right to me.

I don't feel comfortable doing interviews. my profession is music, and writing songs. that's what i do. i like to do it, but i hate to talk about it.
Song Hate Writing
We look before and after, and pine for what is not; our sincerest laughter with some pain is fraught; our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.
