Song Quotes

I hate not understanding the words, because it kind of squashes the song. It shrinks the visual landscape that you’ve made for the sounds. And, all of a sudden, the content eclipses things Picture Quote #1

I can’t think of anything until I’ve got printed words in front of me. I never wake up in the middle of the night with a song in my head Picture Quote #1

First of all, I’m not a heartthrob. If you saw me in high school, you wouldn’t say I’m a heartthrob. Having a hit song, the minute you’re famous, you’re a heartthrob. I know you don’t believe me, but I honestly don’t consider myself a heartthrob Picture Quote #1

I feel like I have a pretty eclectic taste in music and art, so for every song I can see a different kind of video Picture Quote #1

One of the things that I’m dying to do is to sing the hook on a big rap song. No one’s ever called me to do that Picture Quote #1

If somebody sings a song that I wrote, I feel like its a nice point of validation for the song, because it shows that the song is able to stand on its own. I like that Picture Quote #1

If you have a song to sing, who are you not to open your mouth and sing to the world? Picture Quote #1

There’s always people who came 600 miles to hear the song you didn’t play Picture Quote #1

When sadness comes, accept it. Listen to its song. It has something to give to you. It has a gift which no happiness can give to you, only sadness can give it Picture Quote #1

Song is the licensed medium for bawling in public things too silly or sacred to be uttered in ordinary speech Picture Quote #1

It is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear, but rather an image you see though you close your eyes and a song you hear though you shut your ears Picture Quote #1

I don’t ever try to make a song better than my last song. I just try to make it different from my last one 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

I started taking piano lessons when I was 8 and I wrote my first song shortly after. Music was really important in my family. My grandma was a professional violin player and my parents first met when my dad was giving my mom guitar lessons Picture Quote #1

For myself music definitely informs my emotions. And I can literally play a song that will get me where I need to be emotionally. I don’t have to think about the tragic things that happened in my life or the greatest things that happened in my life Picture Quote #1

Words are what make the song. I get a personal vision about what the lyrics are about Picture Quote #1

When I write, I don’t really focus on duets or anything like that, or whether I’m going to feature this or that rapper. I just focus on just making a great song and figure out the rest later Picture Quote #1

I’m a sucker for a catchy song, and dance music. That’s my sweet spot Picture Quote #1

Music is a very personal thing, so if you hear one type of song that you don’t like, you pass judgment on whole band’s repertoire Picture Quote #1

Your testimony doesn’t mean anything if it is not your testimony. So every song that I write it happened at one point in my life or another Picture Quote #1

I never sing a song more than twice because my fear of waning excitement for a piece is part of my troubles. I so rely on vibe, energy and emotions that the technical part occurs to me last Picture Quote #1

In every song I write, whether it’s a love song or a political song or a song about family, the one thing that I find is feeling lost and trying to find your way Picture Quote #1

Prayer does not use up artificial energy, doesn’t burn up any fossil fuel, doesn’t pollute. Neither does song, neither does love, neither does the dance Picture Quote #1

It was a slow process. You gotta remember I hadn’t recorded a song sober in seven years. So it took me awhile to even feel like I could record a song sober Picture Quote #1

Nobody’s favorite movie is some dark, dysfunctional slasher story. Everybody’s favorite song is a sentimental song. So why all of a sudden is it bad to be sentimental in books? Picture Quote #1

Because, in opera, I have to sing for people that are very far from me, instead of, when I sing a song, I try to imagine to sing like in an ear of a child Picture Quote #1

Instinct taught me 20 years ago to pace a song or a concert performance. That translates into pacing a story, pleasing a reading audience Picture Quote #1

When I record somebody else’s song, I have to make it my own or it doesn’t feel right. I’ll say to myself, I wrote this and he doesn’t know it! Picture Quote #1

Beck said he didn’t believe in the theory of a song coming through you as if you were an open vessel. I agree with him to a certain extent Picture Quote #1
