Η ακινησία είναι θάνατος. Στάση ζωής. Το τέλος μπορεί να περιμένει λίγο ακόμα. Πριν χαθούμε. Λίγο ροκ ακόμα πριν μας αγκαλιάσει οριστικά το φως. Η μουσική είναι μονάδα μέτρησης για μας. Ο πόνος περικλείει ελευθερία. Όνειρα που καίγονται σαν κεριά, αφήνοντας σημάδια στα χέρια. Χαρίζει σιωπές. Μας κάνει πιο δυνατούς. Στο φόβο του ταξιδιού κρύβεται η συνέχεια. Η συλλογή των κομματιών μας. Αυτό το ροκ δεν θα τελειώσει ποτέ. Όλα είναι δρόμος.

Henry David Thoreau
« Όταν ακούω μουσική,
Δεν νιώθω κανέναν κίνδυνο.
Είμαι άτρωτος.
Δεν βλέπω εχθρό.
Είμαι συγγενής με τους παλαιότερους χρόνους και με τους νεότερους .”
Η μουσική, το φεγγαρόφωτο και τα όνειρα, είναι τα μαγικά μας όπλα.
Το φεγγάρι που επιμηκύνει τις σκιές κάνοντας τα δέντρα να φαίνονται μεγαλύτερα.
Τα όνειρα να είναι μέρος του εαυτού μας...Ναι… και τι θλίψη να ξυπνάμε….
Και μέσα στα σπλάχνα της μουσικής να ταξιδεύει η σκέψη μας.

Και η ροκ είναι τούτο - Πέτρα που κυλάει, ανατρέπει, αμφισβητεί, δεν πείθεται και δε σταματάει, κόντρα στα κρατούντα, κόντρα σε όσα οι άλλοι θεωρούν δεδομένα
« Η μουσική είναι το κρασί που γεμίζει το φλιτζάνι της σιωπής. ”

«Σε όλη μου τη ζωή πρέπει να υπέφερα από βαριά σχιζοφρένεια. Ο ένας μου εαυτός , αυτός που ακούει ό,τι δεν μπορεί να παίξει ο άλλος, είναι αυτός που κυριαρχεί...»
Music is our, it is us, and like us it is always here surrounding us, like the infinite particles that make up life, it cannot be seen, but can only be felt, like life!"
