  Death row...what a brother know.
  Once again, back is the incredible,
  The rhyme animal, the uncannable "D!"

• The expectation is this low, gravelly voice for John, but I went through his early recordings and there were songs in there where the voice was so different, I wasn't even sure if it was him singing, ... So it was interesting to me that we would see him develop the Man in Black sound. I thought it was really important that his voice change as his persona slowly solidified. The music was really the doorway into the character.

  To set himself against the peaks of snow
  To lay them level with the running wave,
  Nor is he overjoyed when they lie low,
  But only grave, contemplative and grave.

• All the things and events we usually consider as irreconcilable, such as cause and effect, past and future, subject and object, are actually just like the crest and trough of a single wave, a single vibration. For a wave, although itself a single event, only expresses itself through the opposites of crest and trough, high point and low point. For that very reason, the reality is not found in the crest nor the trough alone, but in their unity.
