Music Writing Quotes (page 11)

One of the things I particularly enjoyed doing was taking raw sound from locations during the film, like the candy machine, and writing pieces of music to go with them, which is totally unnecessary within the context of the film, because they have their own logic. Fred Frith
In the music industry, we value large success. I realized that while I would like that, that it's not what my writing is about. And if I start making it about that, it becomes impure. David Friedman
It's amazing how fast generations lose sight of other generations. One of the first things the young composers who come to work with me say is that they want to write music people will like, instead of gaining their credentials by being rejected by the audience. Carlisle Floyd
I've never set out consciously to write American music. I don't know what that would be unless the obvious Appalachian folk references. Carlisle Floyd
Taylor Swift quote: "I don't think I'd ever make an album of just covers because I..."
I don't think I'd ever make an album of just covers because I love writing my own music. Taylor Swift
I would love to continue in music, with writing... but I am not the kind of person who will hang around if I start to become irrelevant. If that happens, I will bow down gracefully, raise my kids, and have a garden. And I am going to let my hair go gray when I am older. I don't need to be blonde when I'm 60! Taylor Swift
Dorothy Fields quote: "Elizabeth Barrett Browning could write a poem two pages long...."
Elizabeth Barrett Browning could write a poem two pages long. Could she have brought it to a music publisher? Dorothy Fields
I thought people cared about music in a deep way, so I was writing to that spirit in people and in myself. It was me, thinking I knew what was up. Youth, who else can change the world? Kevin Eubanks
Anyone who has that weird volition to become an actor probably has a weird volition to do lots of other creative things - to write, to play music, to paint, to cook. Minnie Driver
I want to write, direct, produce, but in steps. I want to take steps. I don't want to just jump in because I sold a lot of records and just feel like I can jump into the movie world. Naw, I want to learn the movie world like I learned the music world. Snoop Dogg
I may have a little bit of a talent for music, but I've learnt to tap into my own self when I write. When I put the drill bit inside my heart, sometimes I come up with something light and frothy, sometimes with something deep and painful, but it's great to connect with the audience. Neil Diamond
Jim Diamond quote: "I can write music but I'm not much for words."
I can write music but I'm not much for words. Jim Diamond
Dustin Diamond quote: "I really pay attention to the bass in the music I listen to,..."
I really pay attention to the bass in the music I listen to, and that's what I tend to write toward. Dustin Diamond
I basically get stereotyped a lot in terms of being a girl and writing 'chick' music for teenage girls or something. I think, if anything, the press kind of, because of my gender and my age, tends to kind of relegate my work to this sort of special-interest group. It's part of the cultural dynamic, I guess. Ani DiFranco
I keep a guitar around while writing and will improvise music. I do this for several reasons, such as that it's fun, and sometimes it helps me with the meter. Jack Prelutsky
