Musicians Are Cowards!

“Musicians are cowards!” is a quotation I took from a song called “The Triumph of Our Tired Eyes” by the band Thee Silver Mt. Zion. The song is about how people, and in this case musicians, have the tendency to express themselves through words, but are too cowardly to act on their thoughts. I chose this excerpt from the song for two reasons. Firstly the song represents how I act, because I am opinionated and outspoken when it comes to my values, but I am not always one to take action. Secondly, the song is a piece of music and music is something I feel passionate about. It is for these reasons that this quote resonates with me as opposed to just taking a quote from a historical figure or politician.
