Song Quotes

It’s terrifying to play your favorite band’s song in front of your favorite band Picture Quote #1

I don’t know if any genuine, meaningful change could ever result from a song. It’s kind of like throwing peanuts at a gorilla Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been able to get inside a song really easily, and if it’s my song, I can make it seem honest Picture Quote #1

You’re always going to write and draw inspiration from things that you’re feeling, things that you’ve felt. It’s kind of impossible not to unless you’re writing a song and there’s an exact scenario that you’re trying to write a song for Picture Quote #1

I learn stuff from making music every time I go in the studio. I’m continuing to try to find new ways to play in a song or be in a song and have a positive impact on a song Picture Quote #1

Sometimes, you can’t seem to find any song on the radio that you like Picture Quote #1

I have this idealistic and maybe naive thought that almost any song can be anything. If you record one song today, it would maybe be exciting and cool. But I could record the same song next week and it would be something completely different Picture Quote #1

I sometimes try to write something that is actually really simple and I can’t do it. So, then, it’s not simple anymore. It’s really hard and it gets all messed up. I sometimes sit down and try to write a song with just three chords and it doesn’t work Picture Quote #1

It’s a gift that I have and I became good at it. When I heard my first song I didn’t even know that I could write songs Picture Quote #1

It’s just a lot of fun to be able to see your ideas come into fruition. And to see people translate the things that come out of my mind vocally. And to be able to produce vocals and give people my point of view musically. And to be able to sit in the crowd and see people sing the song that I wrote, it’s an amazing feeling Picture Quote #1

Writing a song is like playing a series of downs in football: Lots of rules, timing is crucial, lots of boundaries, lots of protective gear, lots of stopping and starting Picture Quote #1

Well mostly in song writing my experience is that there isn’t so much inspiration as hard work. You sit there for hours, days and weeks with a guitar and piano until something good comes Picture Quote #1

The first thing that inspires any song is a chord progression. When I have one I really like, I get into the lyrics even more Picture Quote #1

If I’m focusing on playing and enjoying the song, then it always goes well. I get lost in the song, and the performance is so much better. If the focus becomes not making a mistake, then it just feels rigid to me Picture Quote #1

He alone is great who turns the voice of the wind into a song made sweeter by his own loving Picture Quote #1

You would never hear any song played twice in the same way. The words were retained, but within a certain frame there was great latitude, and the musician could improvise to his heart’s content; and the more the variations and combinations, the greater the musician Picture Quote #1

Studying the universe engages us in something bigger than ourselves. Science tries to describe, in terms we can only grasp intuitively, things that are beyond our intuition.... all we can hope for is that our physical descriptions, like a song or a good painting, are a faithful evocation of some ineffable truth Picture Quote #1

I can sort of will that stuff to happen to me if I put myself in the right headspace. Then I can actually get to a space where it won’t just be one song that comes through, but a series of them Picture Quote #1

I do craft songs, that this is designed. It’s almost like the song was written to produce this desired effect. And it probably really works for somebody. It’s maybe somebody’s favorite tune, and it’s really hard to come down on that, even if I feel a little embarrassed for it. Because some songs are written like a commercial, and that can be a little strange Picture Quote #1

The channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist’s concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle Picture Quote #1

The sparrows are preparing for winter, each one dressed in a plain brown coat and singing a cheerful song Picture Quote #1

If you told me to write a love song tonight, I’d have a lot of trouble. But if you tell me to write a love song about a girl with a red dress who goes into a bar and is on her fifth martini and is falling off her chair, that’s a lot easier, and it makes me free to say anything I want Picture Quote #1

The simple fact was that if the song wasn’t about me, I couldn’t see how it could possibly be about anybody else, including the one I knew it was supposed to be about, and good luck to him, too Picture Quote #1

Now you know that you can’t go wrong... If you start each day with a song Picture Quote #1

The words of the scholar are to be understood. The words of the master are not to be understood. They are to be listened to as one listens to the wind in the trees and the sound of the river and the song of the bird. They will awaken something within the heart that is beyond all knowledge Picture Quote #1

The first thing about a song is that it has to be real, be lived; it has to be emotional, and melancholic. I don’t mean sad. Melancholy is sort of a comfort. Melancholy has a sort of beauty to it. This attracts me to every other form of art Picture Quote #1

You have to love writing a song and architecture. You have to give it a form. It is my job to create a sonic landscape. I like to create ambiance and atmosphere. The writing is the intimate part of it. It is a sketch. The production is the whole painting Picture Quote #1

To me the poets are closer than I am to the idea of voice, to a sort of primeval song that we all participate in Picture Quote #1

Nature is ever at work building and pulling down, creating and destroying, keeping everything whirling and flowing, allowing no rest but in rhythmical motion, chasing everything in endless song out of one beautiful form into another Picture Quote #1

No dreams, no visions, no delicious fantasies, no castles in the air, with which, as the old song so truly says, hearts are broken, heads are turned Picture Quote #1
