“Solomon’s songs are more intricate and expansive in their melodic construction which allows him to weave rich tales of boyhood dreams and romance” Larry Flick, Billboard Magazine “Andrew’s passionate songwriting clearly separated himself from the others. I very much look forward to working with him in the studio” Matt Serletic, Grammy Award Winning Producer At various points in his life, Andrew Solomon has been many things –an entrepreneur, a music dotcom pioneer as well as a graduate stud

Quotes

  • In the subconscious fantasies that make conception look so alluring, it is often ourselves that we would like to see live forever, not someone with a personality of his own.
  • We depend on the guarantee in our children's faces that we will not die. Children whose defining quality annihilates that fantasy of immortality are a particular insult; we must love them for themselves, and not for the best of ourselves in them, and that is a great deal harder to do. Loving our own children is an exercise for the imagination.
  • Insofar as our children resemble us, they are our most precious admirers, and insofar as they differ, they can be our most vehement distractors. From the beginning, we tempt them into imitation of us and long for what may be life's most profound compliment: their choosing to live according to our own system of values. Though many of us take pride in how different we are from our parents, we are endlessly sad at how different our children are from us.
  • Insofar as I have written a self-help book, it is a how-to manual for receptivity: a description of how to tolerate what cannot be cured, and an argument that cures are not always appropriate even when they are feasible.
