"Ultimately, words are only words, and its only the music that stands by itself"
- Joshua Homme
About this Quote
This quote by Joshua Homme speaks with the power of music and its ability to go beyond language. He is recommending that words are restricted in their capability to communicate emotion and significance, whereas music can communicate on a much deeper level. Music has the power to stimulate strong emotions and feelings, even when the listener does not understand the language of the lyrics. Music can bring individuals together, despite their background or language. It can be a source of comfort and solace, and can be used to reveal joy, sorrow, and whatever in between. Music can be a powerful tool for recovery and getting in touch with others. Eventually, words are only words, however music has the power to stand on its own and speak with us in ways that words can not.

"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"
