Ben Harper American Quotations

So it's not so much that I set out to do something different, it's just that the songs themselves require their own individual voice and attention.

Right now I'm listening to a lot of different things but I listen to a lot of classical music. Eventually I would like to compose and perform classical.

We went for the best overall feel on each song. There are no musical overdubs at all. It's a true live record; it's one of the few true live records out there.

I feel it strong in my heart and sing it and write it just because that's a part of Ben Harper, that's just a part of me, that makes me who I am.

If I don't have the potential to write in different styles and sing in different voices and play in different ways, I won't stay inspired.
