Now listen for your song. Everybody’s got a song. When I used to chase the Trane– John Coltrane that is– he used to tell me, ‘If I know a man’s sound, I know the man.’ Do you hear the melody playing in your mind? Does it move you, nudge you off your seat? David Mutti Clark
About This Quote

This is a great quote from Stephen Sondheim, the playwright. When this person is playing with their instrument or singing, they are able to hear their song, the melody that they are playing. The melody is the song that they have written and is the reason why they are able to play with so much passion. It is also the reason why they are able to play so well.
