There was a lot more music than the size of the place would indicate.
Music is one of those things that make us feel a little less alone in the world.
We always thought we had to follow a certain theme but I don't agree with that anymore. I think the fans deserve a wider variety of music.
I even got letters form kids in hospitals saying the music is what keeps them going, and that really touched my heart.
The one thing I wanted to do more than anything else was sing country music.
I do read music, but I prefer playing from the heart.
In the mental calmness of a spiritual life, I have found that the answers to the whys in our lives are able to come to you. In my music I find the same thing.
The calm mind allows one to connect with the inner self, the Soul, the very source of our being. That's where the music lives. That's where my music comes from.
For us there's U2 music, and then there's everything else.
For the past couple of years I've been pretty bored with music in general... just bored with it.
I think the world is very much embracing this whole concept of musicians going out and playing their instruments and playing music for music as opposed to music that has something to do with some form of image or imagery.
Music in general is looking for something new overall.
I'm actually doing a show. from my shed. on the internet. but it won't be music or anything, it's more to do with drinking and smoking. it's an art piece.
After all my years of doing instrumental music I still like just a simple instrumental song with a nice catchy melody and an opportunity to play a solo over a harmonic structure.
Usually, when I do a soundtrack, the music from the movie doesn't have anything to do with me personally. It's music to enhance to the film. My own stuff is more introspective and about what's on going in my head.
