• What are these voices outside love's open door
  Make us throw off our contentment, and beg for something more?
  I'm learning to live without you now
  But I miss you sometimes
  The more I know, the less I understand
  All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again

  Song: The Heart of the Matter

• O' beautiful for spacious skies
  But now those skies are threatening
  They're beating plowshares into swords
  For this tired old man that we elected king
  Armchair warriors often fail
  And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
  The lawyers clean up all details
  Since daddy had to lie
  But I know a place where we can go
  And wash away this sin
  We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
  And the tall grass wave in the wind
  Just lay your head back on the ground
  And let your hair spill all around me
  Offer up your best defence
  But this is the end
  This is the end of the innocence

  Don Henley

  Beautiful, Song, Kings

• Between each album I try to gain a new insight that I didn't have before and perhaps write a song about something that I've written about before, but from a fresh viewpoint.

• Anyone who knows anything should know you cannot take a master track of a recording and write another song over the top of it. You just can't do that. You can call it a tribute or whatever you want to call it, but it's against the law. That's a problem with some of the younger generation, they don't understand the concept of intellectual property and copyright.

  "Don Henley of the Eagles accuses Frank Ocean of ‘stealing’ his song." by Cameron Adams, www.dailytelegraph.com.au. June 2, 2014.

• Lennon's was one of the first voices I emulated when I began to sing. When we held tryouts in my pal's dad's living room for the singer in our band, I sang a Beatles song that Lennon sang. There is something about the timbre of his voice, something that it conveys, that still gets to me. The quality and the poetry of his lyrics. The wry sense of humor. And the boyishness, in the beginning. There are a great many things that touch me about him... Lennon was, to put it in his own words, a 'working-class hero.'

  Don Henley
