I sing about life. I am happy, but life is sad.

Larry McMurtry
About This Quote

As a singer, you sing about love. And, even though you aren’t directly singing about life, your songs are often about life. You sing about how sad it is to be lonely or how beautiful the world is when the sun comes up. Perhaps you also sing about how great it is to meet new people or what you love most in the world.

While life is full of sadness, there are times when you can hear your music and see the beauty in it. It’s because both life and your music are full of sadness that they are able to bring happiness to people.
