Background Music Quotes

Everygeneration wants to be the last. Every generation hates the next trend in music they can't understand. We hate to give up those reins of our culture. To find our own music playing in elevators. The ballad for our revolution, turned into background music for a television commercial. To find ourgeneration's clothes and hair suddenly retro. Chuck Palahniuk
We are increasingly likely to find ourselves in places with background music. No composers have thought to write for these modern spaces, which represent 30% of our musical experience. Brian Eno
Jonathan Franzen quote: "The Mekons were kind of like the background music of my life."
The Mekons were kind of like the background music of my life. Jonathan Franzen
The countdown reached ten seconds and I could almost hear an invisible crescendo of stirring background music. 'Anchors aweigh!' Five, four, three, two, one... and we had ignition! Eugene Cernan
Satyajit Ray quote: "The conception of background music is changing. You use less..."
The conception of background music is changing. You use less and less of it these days. Satyajit Ray
So, when you divide the world into music lovers, music fans and then those people who are just very casual about their music, it's wallpaper to them, it's elevator music, it's just the thing that's playing in the background that helps them through their day. Michael Stipe
Both parents were very encouraging - especially my father. My father thought the sun rose and set with me. Neither one had a musical background or any musical talent. They liked classical music, but neither could carry a tune. Gordon Getty
All that is left in the world is an enormous machine, made of white steel. It has innumerable flexible arms, made of steel. Long, thin arms. At the end of each arm is an eye, the eyelashes stiff with mascara. When I look more closely I see that only some of the arms have these eyes–others have lights. The arms that carry the eyes and the arms that carry the lights are all extraordinarily flexible and very beautiful. But they grey sky, which is the background, terrifies me. . . . And the arms... Jean Rhys
Joyce Carol Oates quote: "the music was always in the background, like music at a church..."
the music was always in the background, like music at a church service; it was something to depend upon. Joyce Carol Oates
Ennio Morricone quote: "I come from a background of experimental music which mingled..."
I come from a background of experimental music which mingled real sounds together with musical sounds. Ennio Morricone
Songwriting is different from music, although I don't deny now that it would be nice to have a little more background in music theory. Neil Diamond
I just hope that our fans are people who are inspired by music, and just use our music as a background or inspiration for whatever it is they do. Maynard James Keenan
But why should you be interested in me?" Good question. I can’t explain it myself right this moment. But maybe – just maybe – if we start getting together and talking, after a while something like Francis Lai’s soundtrack music will start playing in the background, and a whole slew of concrete reasons why I’m interested in you will line up out of nowhere. With luck, it might even snow for us. Haruki Murakami
John: 'I think the music reflects the state that the society is in. It doesn't suggest the state. I think the poets and musicians and artists are of the age - not only do they lead the age on, but they also reflect that age. [...] Like The Beatles. We came out of Liverpool and we reflected our background and we reflected our thoughts in what we sang, and that's all people are doing. John Lennon
I have never denied my background or my culture. I have taught my child to embrace her Mexican heritage, to love my first language, Spanish, to learn about Mexican history, music, folk art, food, and even the Mexican candy I grew up with. Salma Hayek
