Quotes by Corey Hart
I can analyse the trajectory of my popularity and find out why the peak was a peak and the valley was a valley – grapple with it that way – but I prefer not to analyse it that much.
Music was my oxygen. It’s what saved me from being a really lonely and scared teenager.
When I sit down at a piano, I feel what's going on in my life and what led up to it. Certain songs are born from that motivation.

And I wear my sunglasses at night So I can so I can Keep track of the visions in my eyes
Truth Will Set U Free is about honesty. My philosophic belief that ultimately being true to yourself is liberating, with every individual’s inalienable right to be who they are without fear or recrimination,
