"I don't like painting flowers in my music. I like painting guts and pain"
- Jonathan Davis
About this Quote
This quote by Jonathan Davis speaks to the idea that art ought to be sincere and raw. He is revealing his choice for producing music that is not superficial or quite, but rather conveys genuine feeling and experiences. He is recommending that music ought to be a reflection of the artist's real feelings, even if those feelings are tough or uncomfortable. He is also suggesting that music needs to be a form of self-expression, rather than a means of pleasing others. By painting "guts and pain" in his music, he is revealing his own battles and emotions, and permitting his audience to get in touch with him on a much deeper level. This quote talks to the power of art to communicate hard and complicated feelings, and to develop a sense of understanding and connection in between the artist and the listener.

"We worked very hard to make the lyrics suit the music. I can't, like Elton John, for example, compose by lyrics. Elton has a great talent for that. Whatever you give him, including your questions, he composes in half an hour and makes a great song out of it"
