I’ve always thought the best songs come though us not from us…. They gave me life, they gave me an identity and I gave them my tears, my heart, and my truth.

About This Quote

When Tom Waits said, "I've always thought the best songs come through us not from us. They gave me life, they gave me an identity and I gave them my tears, my heart, and my truth." he was speaking about the power of music. When you hear a song that speaks to you, you want to sing along with it, even if you don't know how the words are being sung.
