"For my own part I continue of the same Disposition"
About this Quote
"For my own part I continue of the same Disposition" is the kind of line that looks polite on the surface and quietly refuses to budge underneath. Coming from a musician, it reads less like a manifesto than a backstage aside: a calm, almost courtly way of saying, I heard you, I’m still not changing.
The phrasing does the heavy lifting. "For my own part" fences off personal sovereignty; it’s an artist drawing a boundary without turning it into a fight. "Continue" implies persistence as practice, not stubbornness as a pose. And "Disposition" is the masterstroke: not an opinion you debate, but a temperament you live with. In creative work, that matters. Style and sensibility aren’t just choices; they’re muscle memory, taste, habit, a signature. The subtext is that persuasion has limits when it runs into identity.
Contextually, a musician saying this could be reacting to industry pressure (play it safer, make it trend, sound like the radio), to band politics, or to critics demanding reinvention on command. Instead of dramatic rebellion, Morgan opts for restraint, which is often the more radical move. He doesn’t claim to be right; he claims to be himself. The line’s quiet formality feels like deliberate armor: it keeps the peace while holding the line, a reminder that artistic continuity can be a kind of defiance.
