It's fine to keep releasing tune after tune if you can keep up with that pace but I can't. I'm not the guy that will have the hot tune every month. That's not me!

Kano

The cello is such a melancholy instrument, such an isolated, miserable instrument.

Ritchie Blackmore

Sorry for the tune up between time, but what the hell, cowboys are the only ones who stay in tune, anyway.

Jimi Hendrix

In the phusical sense, 'playing a fret less instrument in tune' is an impossibility. Hence what we call 'playing in tune' is no more than an extremely rapid skilfully carried out improvement of the originally inexactly located pitch.

Carl Flesch

I have to be in tune. All the time. I have to be in tune with my husband, where he is, how he's feeling. I have to be in tune with where my family is.

Michelle Obama

If I looked back on 2019, in ten years' time, and I'd only made club tune after club tune, what's the purpose?

Kano

But there were times when you felt miserable and you wanted to feel better, and other times when you felt miserable and you figured you would just keep on feeling miserable.

Ann Brashares

In the concert of nature it is hard to keep in tune with oneself if one is out of tune with everything else

George Santayana

Life has only gotten better personally for me as I've gotten older. I mean, being young was such a gross waste of time. I was just such a miserable, miserable person.

Maurice Sendak

The guitar is a funny instrument because you have bendable strings and distortion - there's a potential for noise. It is more exposing. Actually controlling the instrument, using proper vibrato, bending notes in tune, not fretting too hard, controlling the noise is a skill in itself that takes many years.

John Petrucci

'Dog Days' was recorded with pens and the wall, and half a stolen drum kit that was out of tune, in what was basically a cupboard. The only instrument I could really play was my voice, so we just layered everything a hundred times. It was enthusiasm over skill.

Florence Welch

Don’t spend most of your time on the voices that don’t count. Tune out the shallow voices so that you will have more time to tune in the valuable ones.

Jim Rohn

Most of the time when we do a tune, Bad Blake, it's a tune no one's heard of to begin with.

George Thorogood

I am very unmusical. I can't carry a tune. I would never be able to play an instrument.

Don DeLillo

A genuinely free and educated man should be able to tune himself, as one tunes a musical instrument, absolutely arbitrarily, at his convenience at any time and to any degree, philosophically or philologically, critically or poetically, historically or rhetorically, in ancient or modern form.
