‘Throw Away Your Metronome and’ — Milford Graves Quote Tee | Wear Words Typographic Statement Tee — Oversized Tee

“Throw away your metronome and listen to your heart.” Milford Graves gave versions of this instruction across a career that treated rhythm as biology — the free-jazz drummer began studying the human heartbeat in the 1970s, recording hearts and teaching that the pulse is irregular by design. His life’s finding was that the living beat wanders: the metronome is the artificial one, and your heart keeps the truer time.

**AS Colour 5082 “Faded Bone” — Oversized Tee (Cream finish).** 100% carded cotton, heavyweight 240 gsm, garment-dyed — each tee fades a little differently, so no two are identical. Oversized, boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, wide twin-stitched ribbed neck, side-seamed, pre-shrunk (size down for a less roomy look). Care: machine wash cold inside-out with like colors, do NOT bleach, do NOT tumble dry (line dry in the shade to protect the garment dye), cool iron inside-out (never iron the print).
