Sing Quotes

When I sing, I don’t want them to see that my face is black. I don’t want them to see that my face is white. I want them to see my soul. And that is colorless Picture Quote #1

We sing a little song before we eat, a little blessing before we eat, and it’s really - we’re thanking the Lord and the Earth for the food that we eat, and it really brings you together in a profound kind of way Picture Quote #1

The fact that I am blind is not what defines my life. It should be of no more interest than my blood type. People wonder if there is a relationship between my lack of sight and the way I sing. But there’s no connection Picture Quote #1

When I was five or six, I asked to sing at a big family party, and ever since I got up there in front of everyone in my suit - it had a blue collar, like in ‘Scarface’ - I had the bug Picture Quote #1

Money talks, but it don’t sing and dance, and it don’t walk. And long as I can have you here with me, I’d much rather be, forever in blue jeans Picture Quote #1

I have to get up the fitness level, sing a lot, practice, get in the mood, and generally do lots of rehearsal. Get your body and mind ready Picture Quote #1

Touring is hard. It’s really hard on the singer, especially, because your body is your instrument and you have to be so good, it’s like boot camp out there; I can’t do anything - just sleep, sing and be very healthy Picture Quote #1

The two hours onstage is great. But I can only play a show and then take a night off. I have to sing for two hours, and then I’ve gotta rest it for a night. So it’s the other 46 hours that are just boring as heck Picture Quote #1

Get up, groan, write a bit, moan, eat breakfast, write some more, cycle my bike through the Sligo hills, make up country songs as I pedal along, sing them, have lunch, have a nap, groan, moan, write a small bit more, cook dinner, feed wifey, open a bottle, or several, slump, sleep Picture Quote #1

We didn’t realize there were that many boy bands until we started touring in Europe. I don’t think we were ever affected by it since a lot of the groups in Europe didn’t really sing live, but we did and would perform a cappella as well Picture Quote #1

As a little kid I had a girlfriend, and her boyfriend used to beat me up, so then I used to sing these songs, and that’s what it’s all about. Country music is all about your heart and your people and things like that Picture Quote #1

Norah Jones is a breath of fresh air. Norah Jones can sing and play. She’s got some talent. I was totally ecstatic that that girl got noticed, because she’s wonderful Picture Quote #1

Music is the true breath of life. We eat so we won’t starve to death. We sing so we can hear ourselves live Picture Quote #1

Go, forget me - why should sorrow, O’er that brow a shadow fling? Go, forget me - and tomorrow, brightly smile and sweetly sing. Smile - though I shall not be near thee; Sing - though I shall never hear thee Picture Quote #1

If Rihanna stripped it all down morally rather than with her clothes, perhaps we’d get closer to Nina Simone. She’s talented, but all we want is to sing the truth. If Britney Spears was to sing closer to her heart, she might have been the new Bobby Gentry or Dolly Parton Picture Quote #1

Broadway musicals, where you sing the whole time, I really don’t like; I like alternating dialogue and music Picture Quote #1

I’d love to do a Broadway show, but I can’t because of the style I sing Picture Quote #1

If I sing you broke my heart, you left me flat, everyone knows exactly what that means - they know the story. But if I sing a line that’s plaintive or wailing, people can experience their own set of emotions and their own story. Each of us might give that phrase a different meaning. It’s open to interpretation, and one song becomes a thousand songs. I love that Picture Quote #1

Music was massive from an early age. My parents were huge music fans, especially soul, and they played records in our house all the time, and me and my brother and sister would dance and sing about the living room Picture Quote #1

Music was in the air when I was growing up. My siblings Katy, Dave and Phil were musical; my dad worked in inner-city New York where a musical revolution was taking place - folk music, rock n’ roll, gospel music. My sister taught me to sing. My brothers taught me to play Picture Quote #1

At any given time I’m listening to the Cory Branan, Leonna Naess, Eve 6, the King’s Noyse, Sean Paul, Green Day, the BoDeans, Buddy Holly, Nowell Sing We Clear... the list goes on and on. But I rarely listen to music while I write. I start typing the lyrics Picture Quote #1

I had all the material for a long time, but I was just too busy. Sometimes we’d sit around at home and sing some of these songs at family things, and everyone always said I should record them Picture Quote #1

I have many creative outlets. I sing, I like music, I like art, I paint, I draw. I like buying art. I read a lot, too. I love books. And I’m working on a clothing line, too Picture Quote #1

I’ve got to sing for Pops; I’ve got to keep my father’s legacy alive because he started all of this. So I started calling people, and nobody would give me a chance, but I didn’t let that stop me. I took money out the bank and I started making me a record, and I did it in this guy’s basement Picture Quote #1

If only all the contradictory voices shouting in my head would calm down and sing a song in unison, whatever it was I wouldn’t care as long as they sang without dissonance Picture Quote #1

I live in Nashville, and I love to sing. When I’m on stage, I feel like a performer for sure. I know people are looking at me and taking pictures and singing along, and that part’s wonderful, but I do live in Nashville. I live the most boring life away from what you see me on camera doing Picture Quote #1

When I was younger, I did what I now call ‘extreme singing.’ I could do this thing where I would sing really high. I can’t really do that anymore, at my age. My voice has shifted. It’s changed Picture Quote #1

In high school, I had two friends that were suffering from cancer. I would go and sing for them while they were in hospital, and I sang at their services after they passed Picture Quote #1

People in love look into each other’s souls, and it is that feeling that I try to capture when I sing Picture Quote #1

I did get to sing at Carnegie Hall when they were made Landmarks! I sang ALL THAT JAZZ with the NY Pops ...what a total thrill Picture Quote #1
