Levon Helm Song Quotations

If you give it good concentration, good energy, good heart and good performance, the song will play you.

If you feel like you're getting into a rut with a song, a night off usually fixes it.

Most of our stuff was trial and error. You live with a tape recorder, you turn it on, you play the song and you listen to it.

Songs don't wear out. Good songs are good now. If they were a comfort during those hard times in the past, they'll be a comfort in today's age.

Lord, when the song wants to pick up and go a little faster towards the end, it's hard for me to resist.

You can either make it come around or you can't. By the time we would be ready to record a song, we would know for sure that it was the best way we could do it.

Forever Young, by Dylan, is one of my favorite songs.

My dad and I played music. He teaches me a song or two every time I'm home.

There were no rules, other than that the song should sound good and be fun to play.
