Air Quote by Mirah

“The music goes into people in a totally different way than words. There's air, there's the sound of words, there's touch, there's music. All of those things have a really distinct way of meeting and entering people's bodies and souls. It's the most beautiful part about humans; that we make music.” quote by Mirah — Download Open image

I think that there is a purity aesthetic, like "I just make art because I'm an artist and I can't help it. I don't care what the critics say."

My identity is mostly as a songwriter and lyricist and singer.

It is sometimes said that scientists are unromantic, that their passion to figure out robs the world of beauty and mystery. But is it not stirring to understand how the world actually works — that white light is made of colors, that color is the way we perceive the wavelengths of light, that transparent air reflects light, that in so…
