Love Quote by Alison Krauss

"That's what I love. Not being interrupted, sitting in a car by myself and listening to music in the rain. There are so many great songs yet to sing"

About this Quote

Solitude is framed here not as loneliness, but as a kind of studio: a private, moving room where the only audience is the windshield and the weather. Krauss starts with something almost stubbornly small - “Not being interrupted” - and you can hear the accumulated noise she’s pushing back against: touring logistics, expectations, chatter, the polite demands that come with being publicly adored. The car becomes a rare site of consent. In that space, she controls the volume, the pace, the emotional temperature.

“Listening to music in the rain” lands because it’s both sensory and cinematic. Rain on glass is nature’s white noise, a softening filter that turns ordinary songs into confessions. It’s an image of self-soothing, but also of attention: the kind of listening that performers don’t always get to do, because their job is to be listened to. Krauss is reminding you that artists are first fans - people who still need to be moved by someone else’s melody before they can offer their own.

Then she pivots to the line that quietly opens the horizon: “There are so many great songs yet to sing.” It’s modest on the surface, but the subtext is ambition without bravado. Not “I have hits left,” but “the world is still full of songs worth becoming.” For a musician known for clarity, restraint, and tradition, it’s also a promise that the well isn’t dry - not for the genre, not for her voice, not for the next moment of rain-lit inspiration.
