Rock & Roll Proverbs

Wise and Pithy statements from our great modern day prophets... rock and roll singers.
“If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied                                          and illuminate the “No’s” on their vacancy signs                                                                    If there’s no one beside you when your soul embarks                                                   then I will follow you into the dark”
from I will Follow You into the Dark by Death Cab for Cutie

The devil is the lord 
Of this confusing world 
Where all the wrong dreams come true 

from Blue Lips by Joseph Arthur

And I still believe (I still believe) in the need,
For guitars and drums and desperate poetry.

And I still believe (I still believe) that everyone,
Can find a song for every time they’ve lost and everytime they’ve won.

from I Still Believe by Frank Turner

Don’t be a hard rock when you really are a gem.

from Doo Wop (That Thing) by Lauryn Hill

No one is going to stop me
From loving my brother

Not even my brother 

from Your Past Life as a Blast by Okkervil River

When nothing is owed or deserved or expected
And your life doesn’t change by the man that’s elected
If you’re loved by someone, you’re never rejected
Decide what to be and go be it

from Head Full of Doubt/ Road Full of Promise by The Avett Brothers

Take time with the pad and the pen to dig within
In a world of BS that we’re livin’ in

from World of Vibrations by Blackalicious



 I don’t know God but I fear his wrath  

 I’m trying to keep focused on the righteous path

from The Righteous Path by Drive-By Truckers

Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight
Got to kick at the darkness ‘til it bleeds daylight.

From Lovers in a Dangerous Time by Bruce Cockburn

There is a crack, a crack in everything 
That’s how the light gets in. 

from Anthem by Leonard Cohen
