To go through this life and see it through – what it really is – and not be insane or addicted, is a minor miracle for anyone.
BEN HARPERTo go through this life and see it through – what it really is – and not be insane or addicted, is a minor miracle for anyone.
BEN HARPERI just want to keep doing what I feel.
BEN HARPERCould’ve sworn I heard you say Amen this morning, showing some kind of sign that you believe. Did it fall from your tongue without warning? Or just another trick to fall from your sleeve?
BEN HARPERIf I’m inspired and music inspires me, then I will continue to play it.
BEN HARPERThe woman in you is the worry in me.
BEN HARPERI want to try to not be the child that had to go through too much too young. I want to be who I am now and not who I was then.
BEN HARPERNow that you’ve grown up, You can finally learn to be a child, We made it to the end of the world, But we’ll never make it out alive…
BEN HARPERThe music is in the lead here, and a large part of this, I have no idea what I’m doing. I feel a closer bond with the craft of songwriting, stronger than I ever have.
BEN HARPERForever always seems to be around when it begins, but forever never seems to be around when it ends
BEN HARPERFolk is bare bones music.
BEN HARPERIf interviews are just interviews or if music is just music, why are we even doing it? You only get so many hours in a lifetime, man.
BEN HARPEREvery single time I step into the studio, I say, ‘Can I still do this? Do I still have it? Have I ever had it?’ I suppose there’s a good amount of self-loathing that goes into any form of artisanship.
BEN HARPERI’m a living sunset, lightning in my bones.
BEN HARPERIf you’re gonna live, then live it up.
BEN HARPERSometimes it’s lightning in a bottle and you got the song. But oftentimes it shows up.
BEN HARPERWe’re always moving forward in different places physically and psychologically.
