Song Quotes

People wonder why there seems to be no meaning in life. Meaning does not exist a priori. There is no meaning existing in life; one has to create it. Only if you create it will you discover it. It has to be invented first. It is not lying there like a rock, it has to be created like a song. It is not a thing, it is significance that you bring through your consciousness Picture Quote #1

In the year 2525, that song will be even less popular than when it first came out Picture Quote #1

Faith without works is like a song you can’t sing. It’s about as useless as a screen door on a submarine Picture Quote #1

A bad song, the three best singers in the world cannot save it, and that’s the bottom line Picture Quote #1

I realize that people won’t even download the entire album and might just download a song or two and put it in a playlist for a workout or in the background while people do dishes. That’s fine and I can’t dictate how people listen to my music, but I structure records the way I listen to records Picture Quote #1

The challenge is to translate the song into something that works on the stage. It’s pop music, but I try to keep it as loose as possible Picture Quote #1

If you get 100 million streams on a song and you’re only being paid on 20 percent, the check’s not going to look good. The money’s not going to look fair Picture Quote #1

When you’re sequencing a record, you want the listener to stick with it from beginning to end, and in order to do that, you really have to map out the journey from the first song to the last Picture Quote #1

My goal from the very beginning was just to write good songs that don’t require any production to be felt or understood. I wanted to be able to sit in a room with a guitar and play the song from beginning to end and have it be as impactful as if you heard the studio version with all the bells and whistles Picture Quote #1

If I’m over a song two weeks after I made it, I’m not going to put it out. It has to last months Picture Quote #1

Song, songs kept them going and going; They didn’t realize the millions of seeds they were sowing. They were singing in marches, even singing in jail. Songs gave them the courage to believe they would not fail Picture Quote #1

What is our life but a succession of preludes to that unknown song whose first solemn note is sounded by death? Picture Quote #1

When I’ve produced a song, I try to record a vocal over it, and sometimes it becomes really hard. Sometimes I’ve already said a lot that I want to say within the production. The vocal is just adding to it, rather than it being a song Picture Quote #1

Here’s a little song I wrote. You might want to sing it note for note. Don’t worry, be happy Picture Quote #1

There are always meaningful songs for somebody. People are doing their courting, people are finding their wives, people are making babies, people are washing their dishes, people are getting through the day, with songs that we may find insignificant. But their significance is affirmed by others. There’s always someone affirming the significance of a song by taking a woman into his arms or by getting through the night. That’s what dignifies the song. Songs don’t dignify human activity. Human activity dignifies the song Picture Quote #1

I’m an actor. I’m not a performer. I’m not like a song and dance guy who can take a cane and a hat and do it. I would just you know. That’s why I never did commercials Picture Quote #1

There’s a pervasive feeling that when somebody sings a song and records a song on a record, that it’s their true feeling Picture Quote #1

There’s still a feeling that uncensored emotions make a good song. They don’t. Pure emotion is just somebody screaming at you, or crying. It doesn’t communicate anything Picture Quote #1

My mom and I are very honest with each other, almost to a fault. But that’s just the way I am in life. If you listen to my record, I’m just honest about stupid stuff most normal people wouldn’t put in a pop song Picture Quote #1

I feel like I always had an ear. I have the ability and the gift to hear a song and really play it in a matter of five to 10 minutes and make my own version out of it. So it’s always been easy playing by ear Picture Quote #1

I have a bunch of information in my head that I’m not afraid to put in song or onto a canvas. Into any conversation Picture Quote #1

When you have a song on the radio your career and your life changes maybe for the better and maybe for the not so good depending on how it’s going that day Picture Quote #1

If I had five minutes to live, I don’t think I’d be bothered singing a song. I’d be dead, so it won’t really matter. I’d have a glass of wine and a cigarette Picture Quote #1

I’ve never really suffered complete and utter writer’s block, really. I equate it with sex: in the beginning of my career, I was writing five songs a week; now, I occasionally write a song. But it’s an exciting moment when it happens! Picture Quote #1

I had a hip replacement a couple of years ago. I have a song about that. And why wouldn’t you? It strikes me that that was a huge event. It’s kind of funny and horrible and interesting, so why wouldn’t one write about that? Picture Quote #1

Home in bed listening to the rain getting ready to order a pizza. Sounds like a song til the last part Picture Quote #1

The song of your soul is longing to be sung. Let your own essence express itself freely Picture Quote #1

You’ve got to concentrate on the business of entertaining and writing songs. Always think different from the next person. Don’t ever do a song as you heard somebody else do it. Concentrate and practice every single day Picture Quote #1

Each time I think that the song is ended... something higher and better begins for me Picture Quote #1

I hope to die right in the middle of a song and right on the stage doing what I love to do. I hope to be about 120 when that happens Picture Quote #1
