Writing Songs Quotes (page 15)

Normally when we go in and write the songs we write, we think about doing a cover, but never a covers record. That would be, for us, a concept. We don't want to have a concept! Robert Cray
I have so much music inside me I'm just trying to stay afloat. I don't tend to write for a particular band - you have to just write the songs and then let God into the room and let the music tell you what to do. Jack White
Even when I don't think I'm writing, I'm writing. There's some part of my brain geared toward making songs up, and I know it's collecting things and I know when I get a moment to be by myself, that's when they come out. Jeff Tweedy
Although, my experience when I've been depressed, not only am I too depressed to sit down and write a song, I'm too depressed to pick up my feet. So if you can at least write about it, you're halfway away from it. Paul Westerberg
I think the thing that has made it possible for me to write personal songs and sing them year after year is the sensibility for good writing. Just opening your veins all over the paper is not necessarily going to be interesting. I wanted to speak to people. Shawn Colvin
I have yet to have a successful outcome of sitting in a room with someone and trying to write a song. The way that I generally co-write is that someone else writes the music or part of the music. Shawn Colvin
Dean Ween quote: "If you write 50 songs, you're bound to write at least a dozen..."
If you write 50 songs, you're bound to write at least a dozen good ones. Dean Ween
The real danger of writing a great song when you're on something is that it might get you thinking that the only way to repeat that is by only writing when you're high. Barry Mann
I'm writing a record of comedy songs. I'm doing all these collaborations with artists. I bring them lyrics and they write the music to it. Margaret Cho
I write a lot, and very often I write a couple of lines that are particularly revealing in some kind of way. And then as a few more lines get added and a piece gets added, eventually the song pretty much takes over and you can't really find a way to change those things. Nick Cave
Jim Capaldi quote: "But then you have to write a song, so at that point, I picked..."
But then you have to write a song, so at that point, I picked up the reins and started to write lyrics. Jim Capaldi
I've been writing joke songs since I was a kid and it served me well at S.N.L. I can write those in my sleep. In fact, I have. Maya Rudolph
Smokey Robinson quote: "I always try to write a song, I never just want to write a..."
I always try to write a song, I never just want to write a record. Smokey Robinson
As an artist, you never want to write the same song again, you always want to challenge yourself to writing in a different way. Serj Tankian
Only a fool wants war, but once a war starts then it cannot be fought half-heartedly. It cannot even be fought with regret, but must be waged with a savage joy in defeating the enemy, and it is that savage joy that inspires our bards to write their greatest songs about love and war. Bernard Cornwell
