can’t take the sky

…I think music is magic… magical, in the true sense of the word.
Certain pieces of music make me feel strong, protected.
It raises… it raises my soul.

No, forget that, it protects me from bad feelings.
Music protects us in such a powerful way, it makes you aware of possibilities.
To a lot of people, I think, music’s a commodity, not spiritual.
It’s something you put on the mantelpiece and it’s there, like a set of golf clubs or an ironing board, whereas to us it’s a holy thing, and none of us are even religious.
