Pop Song Quotes

Pop music thrives on repetition. You know a song’s a hit when you’ve heard it so often that you’ll be happy never to hear it again Picture Quote #1

At one time musical theater, particularly in the 40s and 50s, was a big source of pop songs. That’s how musical theater started, really - it was just a way of linking several pop songs for the stage Picture Quote #1

I wrote ‘Lights’ a long, long time ago. And I expected it to be on the album, because it was - I wrote it with ‘Biff’ Stannard. And he wrote every single Spice Girls song and every single pop song of the 90s, basically. So I thought, you know, I was really lucky to work with him, but I didn’t think it would be a big song for some reason Picture Quote #1

I think the true test of a pop song, for me, and I’ve talked to a lot of other writers about this, is you take your demo, you pop it in your car and you drive down Sunset Blvd. to Santa Monica, and that’s the Hollywood car test Picture Quote #1

I try to write from a really honest place when I write pop music and carry the song into a more deep and more symbolic visual Picture Quote #1

I love pop music. It’s not easy to write a good pop song Picture Quote #1

I love pop music. It’s not easy to write a good pop song. It may be easier to put out a fake jazz album, as Sting does from time to time Picture Quote #1

I think, ‘How could anybody mock a good pop song?’ It is timeless; it transcends barriers; it breaks down every single type of social barrier that you can possibly have. It can deal with the most difficult subjects, even if it abstracts the subject matter Picture Quote #1

Do we really have to wander around apologizing for enjoying plot, just because James Wood and a few dozen other arch-aesthetes sniff at it? It’s like being careful not to sing pop songs in the shower because some guy in the local alt-weekly is a music snob Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I’d be able to flat-out write a pop song and make it satisfying to me. I’m ready to make a consistent sound in whatever way I can Picture Quote #1

The term ‘popular culture’ always used to mean what the people do - pop songs, folk songs, music in general used to live because people would sing these songs and tell these stories together. Then all of these new technologies came out and it became the work of professionals Picture Quote #1

To write a love song that might be able to make it on the radio, that is something that is terrifying to me. But I can definitely write a song about that chair over there. That I can do, but to sit and write a pop song out of the clear blue sky, that is very difficult and I admire the people that can do it Picture Quote #1

I’m not the best at choosing what’s good and what’s bad. I wouldn’t even know what’s a good pop song and what’s a bad one. With that said, I wanted to say what’s true to me. Some people might say that the Skrillex record was pop, but that was just about the chemistry between me and my boy Picture Quote #1

If it is a good song, it is a good song. The Beatles were pop, the beach boys were pop and it’s the best music of all time Picture Quote #1

If you took every pop song to heart, you’d be a bleeding romantic with a crushed heart every five minutes Picture Quote #1

Creating a decent pop song is a challenge - and occasionally, once in every decade - it’s kind of fun to do that Picture Quote #1

I’m usually way more pleased with the stuff that just kinda happens by accident and is no way a pop song. But sometimes the easiest thing for me to write is pop songs Picture Quote #1

Pop is an easy way for evil business people to make a lot of money. But I find myself humming a Christina Aguilera song every once in a while Picture Quote #1

I’m not a folk or jazz singer, more a hard-edged pop singer - with some rock, and song hooks Picture Quote #1

I listen to a wide variety of music of all genres, but sometimes you just need a cheesy pop song Picture Quote #1

We lived, ate, and breathed pop songs Picture Quote #1

I appreciate short, perfect pop songs Picture Quote #1

I think there's a good pop song in pretty much anything Picture Quote #1

I admire pop songs that are perfect at three minutes Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

I’m totally convinced I can write the perfect pop song Picture Quote #1

All the folks I play with come from jazz backgrounds or at least appreciate spontaneity within the parameters of a pop song Picture Quote #1

Doing something that you love regardless when it’s a blockbuster movie or you’re writing a pop song or trying shamelessly to succeed in something is not selling out. I think that’s actually fine, and I would encourage that all the time Picture Quote #1

My favorite records are by bands where the musicians are all playing like themselves, but those personalities connect in an exciting way and create music that is one cohesive unit. It’s not catchy like a pop song, but it’s a really cool song Picture Quote #1

You can only write so many pop songs before they all sound the same. I got to a point where something overtly melodic and straightforward sounded sort of cheesy to me. Pop songs seemed too manufactured Picture Quote #1

I feel like humans are a disease. It’s a hard thing to communicate in a pop song. I mean, who wants to hear that? Picture Quote #1
