I love pulling people into concert halls who might not otherwise go and getting their ears tuned.
In Berlin… it’s important to present a concert that will change their ears… so if you present a Tchaikovsky symphony, you get almost no audience.
When podcasts are in charge there will be no wars, just ears. That will probably be our motto, but in Latin. In our podcastian future, we’ll comprehend that each story has another angle, every case a contradictory piece of evidence.
When things begin to go negative, sometimes we just have to cover our ears and not let such circumstances influence us.
I often find there’s an equal benefit to being in a comfortable, well rested studio session, but also the more pressured headspace of being in an airport or working at 7 A.M., fresh from the club with the music still ringing in your ears.
Life would be pretty boring if I didn’t explore. It’s about letting my ears take me on an adventure to soak in everything I can.
Khan let Polo be his eyes and ears. He was the first one to build a bridge between East and West.
The weather was so cold in Lisbon when I arrived. I decided, ‘Let’s grow the hair to hide my ears.’ And after that, it became nice hair.
And if you don’t have your ears open, you’re not going to be able to figure out what you should be doing.
I met my wife in music camp. She’s got great ears, and we have a relationship where she’s not afraid to tell me anything. If something’s going on in my playing, she will tell me about it, and that’s very, very important.
The key concept is to open your ears. Music can be here and there, anywhere surrounding you.
Tyler Perry’s ‘Madea Goes to Jail!’ Which, I have to tell you, of everything that I’ve ever done in my career, that’s the only thing that’s perked up the ears of my nieces and nephews. That is it, that’s done it for them. That made me a bona fide star in their eyes!
I used to get a lot of rubber ducks on my birthdays as presents because, you know, I make rubber ducks. But then I get the ugliest ones with a neck, ugly colors, and devil ears. I don’t like those.
Occasionally, some brother sings very earnestly through his nose, often disturbing those around him, but it does not matter how the voice sounds to the ears of man. What is important is how the heart sounds to the ears of God.
The most important 6 inches on the battlefield is between your ears.
I think that we, as the African-American men in hip-hop, we have a greater responsibly because we have the ears of so many millions of our young people. And they listenin’.
A lot of us have classical and jazz training, and it would be hard for us to work with a hip-hop artist who doesn’t know a lot about the technical aspects of music. But when you listen to Wyclef’s records, you hear bridges, chord changes and real structure. You can tell he has big ears.
He that has eyes to see and ears to hear may convince himself that no mortal can keep a secret. If his lips are silent, he chatters with his fingertips; betrayal oozes out of him at every pore.
I feel like I’m a mature fighter, I have what it takes between my ears and in my heart.
We have our ears to the ground and have been listening to the farmers.
When eating out while on tour, a great place to get vegetarian food is Thai restaurants, as they have lots of options. I absolutely adore salad and vegetables – I will eat salad until it’s coming out of my ears. Although I think it’s great in any form, my particular favourite has to be beetroot salad.
A friend of mine once told me that I can’t screw up when I play my own music. I also take voice lessons, play other peoples’ songs out of music books, and occasionally figure out how to play other people’s music from records. This keeps my ears, fingers, and mind working.
When everything works best, it’s not because you chose writing but because writing chose you. It’s when you’re mad with it, it’s when it’s stuffed in your ears, your nostrils, under your fingernails. It’s when there’s no hope but that.
My family are from Liverpool, so I have some twang there – I have a Midlands accent, and I was raised about an hour north of London, so my voice is a mess. Although, to American ears, it sounds like the crisp language of a queen’s butler.
As I’ve gotten older, I like longer dresses, but my legs come up to my ears, and I’m not very tall, so when I wear a short skirt,I’ve got to be really conscious.
I’ve done everything imaginable as a mother and a coal miner’s daughter to create a brighter future for our children, and it fell on deaf ears.
For me, the game would be to assume a very intelligent reader who can extrapolate a lot from a little. And that’s become my definition of art; to get that pitch just right, where I can put a hint on page three, and the reader’s ears go up a bit, as opposed to dropping it all on the first page.
Batman is like the audience’s eyes and ears in ‘Justice League Dark.’
My songs never really reach the ears of white America.
I think there’s something that feels so good about a 1-4-5 chord progression. It’s a very standard chord progression, and it just feels good to the ears.
It’s an interesting but useless bit of information that every single character in ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘The Hobbit’ wears a wig, and many of them wears a prosthetic – false ears, feet, hands. In my case, nose.
The cry of the oppressed has entered not only into my ears, but into my soul, so that while I live, I cannot hold my peace.
The ears of men are lesser agents of belief than their eyes.
The pre-chorus always flows and the chorus is always a little bit harder for me because I put pressure on myself. I didn’t know that there was a proper way to do these things, so I just write what sounds good to me in my ears and then I hope to God that someone else likes it too.
We learn the most from listening, and I don’t just mean with our ears.
So our ears got used to listening to jazz in the place that it was that the bass player could not play. No one really realized it and really addressed it until the bass players who could play their instrument came along and started doing something with it.
Growing up in the ’70s, it was only a few years before that when men started to grow their hair long. And in the ’70s, people were pushing the envelope a little farther, with men having even more style and piercing both their ears and wearing makeup.
