Edie Brickell is an American singer/songwriter, born March 10, 1966 in Dallas (Oak Cliff), Texas. In the late 1980s Brickell was the lead singer with the (now renamed) folk-rock group Edie Brickell & New Bohemians, whose 1988 debut album Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars was a critical and commercial success. The band's follow-up album, Ghost of a Dog (1990), fared less well. As a solo artist, Brickell released Picture Perfect Morning (1994) and Volcano (2003). <a href="https://www.last.fm/musi

Quotes

  • Sail through the sea of sad faces with love. Love. Love for everyone. Drift like a little boat on a wave.
  • I really thought I could give it up... But I really love music, and having a creative outlet is really the best thing you can do for yourself.
  • He made me mess the song up when I looked at him... We can show the kids the tape and say, "Look, that's when we first laid eyes on each other."
  • In a world religion class, everyone was complicating life and existence by over-thinking. I had this sense it's right here, right now. It's who we are and what we feel. It's not this tangled web of psychology and philosophy. I was driving to band practice and started singing that song. I wanted to be real, not adopt some philosophy or role. Instinct is our driving force.
  • I'm not aware of too many things. I know what I know if you know what I mean.
  • Philosophy, is the talk on a cereal box. Religion, is a smile on a dog.
