Psalms 33:1-3
Rejoice in the Lord , O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright . Praise ye the Lord with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings . Sing unto him a new song : play skilfully with a loud noise .
I want to be a force for real good . I know that there are bad forces here that bring suffering to others and misery to the world , but I want to be the force which is truly for good . - John Coltrane
II Samuel 6:5
And David and all the house of Israel played before the Lord on all manner of instruments made of fir wood , even on harps, and on psalteries , and on timbrels, and on cornets , and on cymbals.
The emotional reaction is all that matters . As long as there is some feeling of communication , it isn’t necessary that it be understood .
- John Coltrane , 1964
It has been said quite often that before he recorded A Love Supreme, Coltrane was again spoken to by God , and it is not difficult to imagine how one might interpret that .
The beauty of each composed note on that record speaks for his ability, in 1964 , to give up his every energy to another spirit
