With music, you often dont have to translate it. It just affects you, and you dont know why. – David Byrne
If anything, a lot of electronic music is music that no one listens to at home, hardly. Its really only to be heard when everyones out enjoying it. – David Byrne
So theres no guarantee if you like the music you will empathize with the culture and the people who made it. It doesnt necessarily happen. I think it can, but it doesnt necessarily happen. Which is kind of a shame. – David Byrne
All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock, I dont subscribe to any of that. Its all just music. I mean, the heavy metal from the 70s sounds nothing like the stuff from the 80s, and that sounds nothing like the stuff from the 90s. Whos to say what is and isnt a certain type of music? – Neil Young
