Even just making albums – which was more within the structure that I’ve worked in for years – you have no idea how people will respond. You don’t know if it’ll be any good whatsoever. It can be terrifying.

Kate Bush

You’ll never know that you had all of me. You’ll never know the poetry you’ve stirred in me.

If you believe in what you do and you really want to be in music, just stick at it. It’s always a learning process. Enjoy it because I think making music is a privilege, really. In an ideal world, it should also always be fun. As much as possible, make it fun.
KATE BUSH

Believe Fun Thinking

I love the whirling of the dervishes. I love the beauty of rare innocence. You don’t need no crystal ball, Don’t fall for a magic wand. We humans got it all, we perform the miracles.
