Song Quotes

I think that commercials can really ruin a song. You know that the person sold the song for a good deal of money, and that was the tradeoff. But, music and picture can marry in a beautiful way, and the reverse also Picture Quote #1

When I sit down to write a song, it’s a kind of improvisation, but I formalize it a bit to get it into the studio, and when I step up to a microphone, I have a vague idea of what I’m about to do Picture Quote #1

I feel like once the song is done, you put it out there and if people want to do bizarre remixes, if people want to make strange videos, great. You know, like chaos theory applied to the music business Picture Quote #1

There’s a certain feeling of giving, a certain feeling of generosity in love songs. When you sing a song of love, you’re actually giving something to yourself, too. You’re singing and casting these affirmations of love out into the universe Picture Quote #1

When you write a song, the goal is not to convey the details of your life. You should write a memoir or something if that’s what you’re going to do Picture Quote #1

To me, a political song is also a personal song. Most political activism has been driven by empathy for other people and the desire for a world that’s less divisive. Even if songs aren’t overtly political, they can make a listener more empathetic Picture Quote #1

I love hearing my song on the radio the first time, but when it comes on again, I change the station. I already have so much of the spotlight on me. I don’t need any more Picture Quote #1

It excites me when a person puts their whole self in a song or rhyme, or instrument. It fills me Picture Quote #1

When I write a song, I tap into the emotion and the feeling and then I use the emotion to write the words. It’s the opposite when I act. I use the words and tap into the emotion Picture Quote #1

Every moment of my life has a soundtrack, so I never know when some song is going to jump me by surprise and bring the memory alive Picture Quote #1

On stage, generally speaking, the story is stopped or held back by songs, because that’s the convention. Audiences enjoy the song and the singer, that’s the point Picture Quote #1

I’m not in any rush. I’m not somebody who, if I write a song, I get it out. That’s not something I’ve ever really quite done Picture Quote #1

In the music business, we all do different things, but we sit there and admire other people who can write a song differently or sing differently. It’s not so competitive Picture Quote #1

And if you’re horrible to me I’m going to write a song about you and you are not going to like it. That’s how I operate Picture Quote #1

Getting a great idea with song writing is a lot like love. You don’t know why this one is different, but it is. You don’t know why this one is better, but it is. It sticks in your head, and you can’t stop thinking about it Picture Quote #1

I don’t like to feel like I’m in a club when I’m in my car and I turn on the radio. Anything that ceases to be a song and just sounds like house music kind of stresses me out Picture Quote #1

The most miraculous process is watching a song go from a tiny idea in the middle of the night to something that 55,000 people are singing back to you Picture Quote #1

I’ve learned this, that haters wanna hate. You could sing a song perfectly, you could write the songs perfectly, and some people are absolutely going to hate you Picture Quote #1

I am not a good enough writer to have an agenda or come up with a message and try to put it into a song. It’s more like you write what comes to you... You try to reflect the mood of the songs Picture Quote #1

If at noon you sit down and there’s just silence or blank tape, in an hour if you have a song, that didn’t exist an hour ago. Now it exists and it might exist for a long time. There’s something empowering about that Picture Quote #1

Music, at its essence, is what gives us memories. And the longer a song has existed in our lives, the more memories we have of it Picture Quote #1

Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them Picture Quote #1

You are life, inventing form. No more can you die on sword or years than you can die on doorways through which you walk, one room into another. Every room gives its word for you to speak, every passage its song for you to sing Picture Quote #1

He was like a song I’d heard once in fragments but had been singing in my mind ever since Picture Quote #1

The ocean has been singing to me, and the song is that of our life together Picture Quote #1

It’s always that one song that gets to you. You can hide, but the song comes to find you Picture Quote #1

You are the answer to every prayer I’ve offered. You are a song, a dream, a whisper, and I don’t know how I could have lived without you for as long as I have Picture Quote #1

There are three things, and three things only, that can lift the pain of mortality and ease the ravages of life. These are wine, women and song Picture Quote #1

Love so needs to love that it will endure almost anything, even abuse, just to flicker for a moment. But the sky’s mouth is kind, its song will never hurt you, for I sing those words Picture Quote #1

And after I played them both a few times, I realized they were two halves of the same song Picture Quote #1
