Song Quotes

I’m self-deprecating, but I’m an artist, too. I have to write new songs to chronicle stuff for myself. I write a song like ‘Middle Age’ or ‘Responsibility’ or ‘I Just Work Here,’ and it’s about how bleak life can be. But it’s real Picture Quote #1

The Rilo Kiley song ‘A Better Son/Daughter’ is my most requested song - especially for people who are at the age I was when I wrote it. It’s sort of a mid-twenties lament Picture Quote #1

The thing is: in order to reach an agreement, to reach that balance, sometimes it is sort of like that old Rhinestone Cowboy lyric, ‘There’ll be a load of compromisin’ on the road to my horizon.’ For those of you who were too young, or don’t recall the song, made famous by country singer Glen Campbell, it is your loss Picture Quote #1

In the Air Force, I had an old Wilcox Gay recorder, and I used to hear guitar runs on that recorder going (vocalizing) like the chords on I Walk The Line. And I always wanted to write a love song using that theme, that tune Picture Quote #1

I can’t start my day without hearing ‘Waiting On the World to Change’ by John Mayer. It’s my alarm clock and my favorite song Picture Quote #1

I try to explain that to my kids - the experience of going to a record store, flipping through racks and finding that album cover that intrigues you - but my kids don’t want to know about it. They download the one song on the album they like, and pay their 99 cents Picture Quote #1

I secretly love the song ‘No More Tears.’ It’s my go-to karaoke song that I do with all my friends Picture Quote #1

I love that song ‘I Could Have Danced All Night’ from ‘My Fair Lady’ so much. I love that song because watching it as a kid, it was such an unbridled expression of joy Picture Quote #1

A lot of Woody Guthrie’s songs were taken from other songs. He would rework the melody and lyrics, and all of a sudden it was a Woody Guthrie song Picture Quote #1

I don’t really have a favorite song. Music is such a big part of who I am, and speaks to so many different emotions inside me, that I don’t have an all-time favorite Picture Quote #1

It’s that feeling when you hear your favourite song. That feeling, whether you’re in a car, at a party or alone at home or in bed and you hear this song and it just hits you so strong - that’s what we aim for Picture Quote #1

I think pop music is in such an exciting place right now, and I do kind of credit that to Lorde with ‘Royals.’ I think that song changed everything in the pop scene. All of the sudden, alternative pop music became pop music Picture Quote #1

I do not believe that people should steal music, but I think that fans need a better alternative, hence why I am such a fan of Apple, where you can simply buy a song for $0.99; it is very easy, it is a value-packed service... and this is a result of the shakeup... something has to happen in the music industry Picture Quote #1

It’s always nice to be able to capture your life’s experiences in a song and hold the emotion in that way Picture Quote #1

9 to 5,’ that little song, that little story, just won’t ever end. Just like ‘I Will Always Love You,’ it just keeps comin’ back, popping up its head in one way or another Picture Quote #1

My favorite song is Whitney Houston’s ‘I Will Always Love You’ because my brother used to sing it to me as loud as he could. Annoying then, favorite memory now Picture Quote #1

Of course, ‘I Will Always Love You’ is the biggest song so far in my career. I’m famous for several, but that one has been recorded by more people and made me more money, I think, than all of them. But that song did come from a true and deep place in my heart Picture Quote #1

Lyrics are important, but it’s hard, because English isn’t my first language - although it feels like it is these days! I grew up with amazing melodies, so getting that right on a song has always been the key thing for me, but there’s no reason why a great melody doesn’t deserve great lyrics 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

Why are black folks singing Amazing Grace which is a song about a white slaver’s conversion? Picture Quote #1

That’s the amazing thing about music: there’s a song for every emotion. Can you imagine a world with no music? It would suck Picture Quote #1

Considering the amount of information we’re bombarded by, it’s amazing if a song can transcend time Picture Quote #1

My goal is to think of nothing when I’m writing a song because too many influences could sabotage a potentially amazing song Picture Quote #1

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. But the urge to write is something you have to have. A conviction, an ambition to write and never stop until you think, ‘This is the best I can do.’ Picture Quote #1

It was like orderin a hamburger and getting only the buns(After Brooke White of season 7 on american idol sang the song ‘Hero’by Mariah Carey) Picture Quote #1

It’s easy to say that reducing a song to 90 seconds on American Idol strips off so many things, and how it’s the 21st century and music doesn’t mean the same things to people and that it’s so disposable Picture Quote #1

In a sense, ‘American Pie’ was a very despairing song but it can also be seen as very hopeful Picture Quote #1

American Pie speaks to the loss that we feel. That’s why that song has found the niche that it has Picture Quote #1
