Here's a collection of Taylor York quotes, because you can never have enough of them in your life! The first one is especially inspiring.
"I think there are a lot of things we don't want to express to people, but personally the idea of meaningless bothers me the most. Recently, I've heard songs talking about the idea that essentially nothing we do on this earth matters and that there is nothing beyond this. Everyone is free to have their own opinions on this of course, but that always leaves me feeling sad and insignificant. I feel like there is enough in the world that makes us feel this way, and we don't want to add to that. You matter and there is hope!"
"INTERVIEWER: Would you rather go naked for the rest of your life or not be able to play music anymore?
TAYLOR: Oh? Naked? Duh *laughs* Well, i have a guitar to cover me. I’d figure out, I’d figure out…Oooh, that’d be tough. Imagine life without music though, would it just be me naked or everyone? Would everyone in the world be naked? Would this be a common thing? Oh gosh."
"Its all about your mindset. Like if you want to be miserable you can absolutely be miserable. Or if you kind of just want to point out the good things then you can make the best of it."
"I think as a band we've just learned how to really accept each other and embrace each others differences. I know we talk about that a lot, but it feels like we're finally starting to get the hang of it, and it's so exciting! We're better friends than ever before. There's more joy, love and hope than we've had in years!
"We literally have the best fans ever, and we really do care about them, and I feel like they in turn really care about us."
"Be a voice for the voiceless y'all. This world needs more love and hope!"
