People Giving Musician

More From Andy Grammer

I don't view myself as a musician anymore - i view myself as a human being that functions as a musician when i'm functioning as a musician, but that's not 24 hours a day. that's really opened me up to even more perspectives because now i look at music, not from the standpoint of being a musician, but from the standpoint of being a human being.

I need a good book i need a good story. i need a good book. the kind that explodes off the shelf. i need some good writing, alive and exciting, to contemplate all by myself. i need a good novel, i need a good read. i probably need two or three. i need a good tale of love and betrayal or perhaps an adventure at sea. i need a good saga. i need a good yarn. a momentous and mightily or slight one. but with thousands and thousands and thousands of books, i need someone to tell me the right one. -john lithgow

So when somebody asks me to make a decision about a situation, i don't offer a solution, i ask a question: what are our options? give me the good, give me the bad, give me the pretty, give me the ugly, give me the impossible, give me the possible, give me the convenient, give me the inconvenient. give me the options. all i want are options. and once i have all the options before me, then i comfortably and confidently make my decision.

As a journalist, i never critiqued anyone. i never review books. i've never felt qualified as a musician to say whether someone is a good musician or a bad musician. what happens with black writers and black artists is that if you're critiqued, for example, by a black historian who wants to get his name on the cover of "the new york times," and he says something, like, wacky, well, he'll get his name on the cover of "the new york times" and he might get tenure, and your career suffers.

Most people define themselves by what they do - 'i'm a musician.' then one day it occurred to me that i'm only a musician when i'm playing music - or writing music, or talking about music. i don't do that 24 hours a day. i'm also a father, a son, a husband, a citizen - i mean, when i go to vote, i'm not thinking of myself as 'a musician.'

The humble, simple souls, who are little enough to see the bigness of god in the littleness of a babe, are therefore the only ones who will ever understand the reason of his visitation. he came to this poor earth of ours to carry on an exchange; to say to us, as only the good god could say: 'you give me your humanity, and i will give you my divinity; you give me your time, and i will give you my eternity; you give me your broken heart, and i will give you love; you give me your nothingness, and i will give you my all.

I love you," i say. i said that once, before i went to erudite headquarters, but he was asleep then. i don't know why i didn't say it when he could hear it. maybe i was afraid to trust him with something so personal as my devotion. or afraid that i did not know what it was to love someone. but now i think the scary thing was not saying it before it was too late. not saying it before it was almost too late for me.

I love you more than my own skin and even though you don’t love me the same way, you love me anyways, don’t you? and if you don’t, i’ll always have the hope that you do, and i’m satisfied with that. love me a little. i adore you.

I have a prejudice against people with money. i have known so many, and none have escaped the corruption of power. in this i am a purist. i love people motivated by love and not by power. if you have money and power, and are motivated by love, you give it all away.
