Don't cheat yourself out of music. Music is one thing. The music business is another thing. Save enough of yourself to keep living anyway. Save enough joy in your heart to enjoy it. Let your reward be in the doing of it.

I would like to know how it feels for my desperation to get louder.

Just keep on using me, until you use me up.

Ain'tno sunshine when she's gone. It's not warm when she's away. Ain'tno sunshine when she's gone, and she's always gone too long, anytime she goes away.

If nobody throws all their rules at you, you might make a song with no introduction.

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, only darkness every day.

The same love that made me laugh makes my cry.
