Song Quotes

If you’re in a bar and a certain song comes on and the vibe is just different, it evokes the kinds of things that you want to feel, and if music can do that it’s a very special thing Picture Quote #1

I love the fact that I can go out there on stage with a guitar and sing a song that means something to somebody Picture Quote #1

Many people think of me as a perfectionist, someone who polishes and shines each song and performance. I’ve always been bothered by that assumption Picture Quote #1

Between the record companies being the way they are and the fact that people can just download one song instead of buying a whole album, it’s hard to make a good living nowadays Picture Quote #1

When I first started out, I thought it was enough to make an angry song that pointed out the problems of the world Picture Quote #1

I record stuff all the time, like little vocal things. I write random things down... Sometimes I just get things stuck in my head and I record them, and that actually becomes a song quite a lot of the time Picture Quote #1

How we absorb music is unique. I know what I do. When I’m listening to music, I tend to find myself in a song. That’s what really makes you connect is if you feel what that song is saying Picture Quote #1

The great thing about a song is that no one has to know your story. But if you tell it in a way that has clarity and means something to somebody else, then it can apply to their story Picture Quote #1

To me, it’s all about the song. Songs are what make me excited. You hear a great song and you want to record it or get a great idea and you want to write it Picture Quote #1

I like to have songs with me that have substance. That’s missing from a lot of today’s music. You might hear a song with a catchy beat, but what’s it about? It’s not empowering or helping anyone Picture Quote #1

Artists are taught to be humble about their impact, especially in folk music. It’s so ingrained that I have a hard time even thinking I had any impact other than what a normal hit song would have Picture Quote #1

Not every song has to be about love and tenderness, sometimes you have those strictly physical feelings for somebody and it’s okay to have those feelings Picture Quote #1

There’s a variety and depth to the song topics I get to write about in children’s music and books: being able to write about things I wouldn’t normally write about, like a disappointing pancake, or monsters or opposite day is really different than writing about heartbreak and relationships Picture Quote #1

Writing for other artists helped me figure out that magic you have to capture to make everyone connect with a song Picture Quote #1

I’m open to any kind of situation in a song as long as it touches my heart Picture Quote #1

I can plunk out enough chords to write a song, but I’m completely afraid to play guitar in front of other people. It’s a fear of failure, I guess Picture Quote #1

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with singing a song and having fun with it Picture Quote #1

I think any song should sound good just played on a solitary instrument with the vocal. If you have those basics you have all you need. The production then just polishes that idea into the finished thing Picture Quote #1

There’s all kinds of those moments in your life where either through a weird set of circumstances, or a song you hear, or a smell you smell, or one person says something totally out of the context without the meaning that you assigned to it, but you snap back to the way you were when you were 14 or 15. We all deal with that Picture Quote #1

I always give the encore over to chaos, so people can yell out requests and I can hack my way through a song that I don’t really know anymore Picture Quote #1

I have loved music so much from when I was little, and I don’t know whether it was because I saw my dad doing it and then I got the idea; I don’t know what came first... But I always had a hairbrush in the mirror singing. I was always with him backstage; I would go out and be pulled in for the last song Picture Quote #1

Black people lived right by the railroad tracks, and the train would shake their houses at night. I would hear it as a boy, and I thought: I’m gonna make a song that sounds like that Picture Quote #1

If you can make the song a soundtrack to what you’re living at the time, I think that’s the most important part of a song Picture Quote #1

I’m no diva but I can be annoying in a recording studio. Of course I try to be a diva in terms of confidence of performance and owning a song but I’ve never behaved like one in terms of the negative connotations of the word Picture Quote #1

I like being in a recording studio. I like watching a song go from the simplicity of the original music Picture Quote #1

If I write for myself, I write a song and I bring in the musicians that are best suited to play it. There’s a freedom there Picture Quote #1

A heartsong doesn’t have to be a song in your heart. It doesn’t have to be talking about love and peace. It can just be your message. It can be your feeling. Some people might even call it a conscience, even though that’s not really what it is. It’s your message, what you feel like you need to do Picture Quote #1

At the end of the day, you sign a record deal and you understand where it could go if you had the right song Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I approach my songs differently from other artists. You get a big picture of it, and you imagine the song and hear and feel it, and that big picture is like a snapshot, and it comes to you as fast as it takes to click a camera Picture Quote #1

Anytime an artist puts your name in a song, it’s unbelievable. It never gets old Picture Quote #1
