Singing Quotes (page 18)

William James quote: "I don't sing because I'm happy; I'm happy because I sing."
I don't sing because I'm happy; I'm happy because I sing. William James
John Raitt quote: "I'll sing as long as people want to hear me, and I'll be able..."
I'll sing as long as people want to hear me, and I'll be able to sing as long as I'm alive. John Raitt
They hear it come out, but they don't know how it got there. They don't understand that's life's way of talking. You don't sing to feel better. You sing 'cause that's a way of understanding life. Ma Rainey
When I'm performing for the people, I am me, then. I am that little girl who, when she was five years old, used to sing at church. Or I'm that 15-year-old young lady who wanted to be grown and wanted to sing and couldn't wait to be smokin' a cigarette, you know? Etta James
Jazz took too much discipline. You have to come in at the right place, which is different than me singing the blues, where I can sing, 'Oh, baby,' if there's a pause in the melody. With jazz, you better leave that space open, or put in something real cool. Etta James
When I sing for myself, I probably sing for anyone who has any kind of hurt, any kind of bad feelings, good feelings, ups and downs, highs and lows, that kind of thing. Etta James
I've been wanting to sing for a long time. I've been singing all my life, and I've tried different record companies, but it seemed like - it was such a struggle and so hard to get out there. So, I said, 'I'm gonna go on American Idol and see how far it takes me.' Fantasia Barrino
The very first Walnut Whales recording was recorded just a few weeks after I had started singing, out of the blue, started singing. And the voice, you can hear how uncomfortable I am with it, and how terrified I am with it. Joanna Newsom
I recorded harp first or singing first. I recorded it all together. Part of the reason is that I don't know how to play the songs without also singing. I forget how they progress. I don't think that any of them are verse, chorus, verse, and so on. They are not simple. Joanna Newsom
The pop-star thing bores me because it's somebody programming someone else. Stand over here, sing that, no, sing it like this, talk like that, when they ask you this, don't say that, say this, hold that, drive this, stay here, live there - you're not even a human being. You're a puppet. Randy Jackson
Time is important to me because I want to sing long enough to leave a message. I'm used to singing in churches where nobody would dare stop me until the Lord arrives! Mahalia Jackson
Children frequently sing meaningful phrases to themselves over and over again before they learn to make a distinction between singing and saying. David Antin
Marc Anthony quote: "I'm not a salsa singer who wants to sing in English, and I'm..."
I'm not a salsa singer who wants to sing in English, and I'm not this American kid who wants to sing Spanish. Marc Anthony
Paul Anka quote: "I just couldn't get anyone to sing my songs, so I had to sing..."
I just couldn't get anyone to sing my songs, so I had to sing my own tunes. Paul Anka
I like what it is to sing, or to be with the others singing, to make music, but the fuss and all the things that are the exterior part of a career, has never interested me. Victoria de los Angeles
