....But I know how it is when I sing with my heart... but I know also how I sing when I'm cool.


You have to sing both ways, because you cannot be hot every time. If you are hot, your heart will be burned. The fuse will go and even will not be able to fix it! It is natural. Sometimes sing perfectly cool and sometimes perfectly hot. Sometimes the passion is there and sometimes it is not. And one has to understand these rhythms. When it is there, enjoy that; when it is not there, enJoy singing, enjoy music. When it is there, forget about music and singing and enjoy the content. And both are good, all is good.
Those cool moments have their own significance. Just think of two lovers for twenty-four hours in love: soon they will be tired of each other, deadly tired. They will become so bored with that love. It will be too sweet, it will create a kind of diabetes. So there are gaps. For a few moments you feel great love and then it disappears. The gap creates appetite and suddenly you are there again; all that joy is back and the honeymoon starts again.
Each love affair goes through a thousand-and-one honeymoons and a thousand-and-one divorces... and they happen every day! In the morning it was all flowing, by the evening it is not flowing at all. But slowly, slowly, one understands that these are the moods, the climates that go on changing. One has to learn to enjoy cloudy weather, sunny weather, all kinds of weather.
Love is not a constant phenomenon. If it is constant you will forget about it. One can only perceive things which are not constant, which go on changing. If something is absolutely constant it will become so obvious that you will stop looking at it. You will forget all about it. Change keeps you aware of it. Perception needs a rush of energy.
It is perfectly good... you need not be worried about it. If some day it is cool, enjoy the coolness of it, and if some day it is very passionate, enjoy the passion of it. When you have started enjoying both you are on the right track. Don't choose a particular kind of weather. Don't say 'I will enjoy only when it is sunny or only when it is cloudy.' Then you will suffer much. Just say 'I will enjoy. When there are clouds I will enjoy the clouds and when it is raining I will enjoy the rains.' This is totality....
Everything is perfectly good. And when does your music group start?... Make it absolutely new. And give it a new pattern, a new structure whatsoever you feel,


but make it alive!
