Song Quotes (page 21)

If I give myself a chore, for instance, when I was writing the songs for Shameless, I said to myself, Now, every day for 90 days you have to write a song; good, bad or indifferent. So that was really helpful. Judy Collins
I don't think you get to good writing unless you expose yourself and your feelings. Deep songs don't come from the surface; they come from the deep down. The poetry and the songs that you are suppose to write, I believe are in your heart. Judy Collins
I want to be as honest as I can about the things I've been through - the sorrows and joys, victories and defeats - and to use those experiences as a well to draw from. Hopefully, the songs that result from that kind of writing will be songs that mean something to others. Jim Cole
Branford Marsalis quote: "You hear it in your brain. Whatever makes sense. Some songs..."
You hear it in your brain. Whatever makes sense. Some songs work well as quartet songs, sometimes they don't. Branford Marsalis
I wanted to play rock and roll when I started playing. Nobody at that time ever thought about songwriting. You sang songs, that's all. You sang other people's songs. That's all there were. Bruce Cockburn
We wanted to write a whole song about partying and then taking Yellow Cabs home. That's the weirdest topic we've ever thought of centering a song around. Taryn Manning
I've got a song on One Direction's album called 'Tell Me A Lie'. It's a really cute song - I love it. I loved that they liked it. They sound really great on it. I already have it - I'm so VIP with my copy on my computer! It does sound really good. Kelly Clarkson
One of my side strange abilities is to hear a good song, no matter how it's being performed. Even if you get a bad performance, I can still hear that there's a good song. Manfred Mann
Barry Mann quote: "I've written songs sober and I've written songs high."
I've written songs sober and I've written songs high. Barry Mann
I looked through our catalog year by year, and I saw that there were pockets of time when we wrote some terrific songs. Then all of a sudden, we'd go for another two or three months and there weren't great songs. Barry Mann
I have no reason to sit home and write songs all day without going out and playing for the folks. And I have no reason to go play for the folks unless I'm writing new songs so they can sort of feed off one another. And I just try to do the best I can. Guy Clark
Gene Clark quote: "The actual writing of a song usually comes in the form of a..."
The actual writing of a song usually comes in the form of a realisation. I can't contrive a song. Gene Clark
Stephen Malkmus quote: "The lyrics are different from Nick Cave songs and lyrics. His..."
The lyrics are different from Nick Cave songs and lyrics. His songs are very narrative. Stephen Malkmus
I am a big Beatles fan. And, you know, unbeknownst to anyone, I used to be one. But I have no problems of putting titles and lines from other songs in my songs, because they're great lines and great titles. Ringo Starr
I write a tiny fraction of what I used to write. My only job used to be to just write songs, and that was a really nice job to have, but only a tiny amount of people heard those songs, and I didn't make a living from it, and eventually I begged my parents to let me move back into my room. Regina Spektor
