Song Quotes

The song ‘Baby Baby,’ I so love that song because I wrote it about my first daughter Picture Quote #1

Baby boomers helped me a great deal in my career. They launched me. They were there for me to sing my song to. And I’m not saying I’m better than anyone, but I think they turned that anti-authority baby boom mentality into their own enemy. Now I identify very closely with their children Picture Quote #1

But once you’ve made a song and you put it out there, you don’t own it anymore. The public own it. It’s their song. It might be their song that they wake up to, or their song they have a shower to, or their song that they drive home to or their song they cry to, scream to, have babies to, have weddings to - like, it isn’t your song anymore Picture Quote #1

You don’t do background music the way a lot of more conventional films do. The music is often kind of a character in your films to the extent that sometimes you stop and watch someone perform a song Picture Quote #1

It’s important to me that people feel connected to the band through the music, you know? I don’t want it to be wallpaper. I don’t want it to be background music. I want it to be clear: This is the song. These are the words. If you feel the same way as I do, sing it as loud as you can Picture Quote #1

My attitude these days is, if you write a bad song, what are they gonna do, throw you in songwriter jail? Picture Quote #1

If I start writing a song and you try to have a conversation with me, you’re a bad person Picture Quote #1

Life, Love and Hope’ is... I’m thinking ‘larger picture.’ I’m not trying to preach to anyone. We all get lost and caught up in our everyday problems. Your cellphone doesn’t work or you got a parking ticket, you had a bad day at work. You can lose sight of the really important things in life; that’s what the song is about Picture Quote #1

When you are writing a song for something else, if you are doing something for money, I always think that’s bad luck Picture Quote #1

I remember, when I was a kid, listening to the radio and hearing ‘Big Bad John’ by Jimmy Dean - and it just blew me away. I used to sit there and call the radio stations and request that song. And then the Beatles were obviously out already, but I really didn’t know about the Beatles Picture Quote #1

It’s cool when your husband starts to sing some old Merle Haggard song and I can pop in with a harmony and it doesn’t sound too bad Picture Quote #1

If life throws you a few bad notes, don’t let them interrupt your song Picture Quote #1

I really believe it’s not bad to look back within music. I don’t mean retro, but using your own memories to make a song because our memories are what make us who we are Picture Quote #1

I’m not the best at choosing what’s good and what’s bad. I wouldn’t even know what’s a good pop song and what’s a bad one. With that said, I wanted to say what’s true to me. Some people might say that the Skrillex record was pop, but that was just about the chemistry between me and my boy Picture Quote #1

One of my side strange abilities is to hear a good song, no matter how it’s being performed. Even if you get a bad performance, I can still hear that there’s a good song Picture Quote #1

I’m always glad when people come together to help each other - whether they’re raising money for somebody in a bad situation or making a creative piece like a song Picture Quote #1

I’m not saying you have to be totally despondent or anything, but... in New York, it’s cold sometimes; it rains sometimes; even if everything in your life is great, bad weather can set the mood. You can write songs in New York because it’s not always perfect. To write a good song, things can’t be perfect Picture Quote #1

You have to learn how to act a pop song. You have to find the balance of the pop from the pop song and the lyrical significance of the scene you are in Picture Quote #1

A lot of times, the choice of the right song will save a scene. Or there will be a scene that’s a little flat and you put in the right song and somehow it just comes alive Picture Quote #1

When I was playing piano, it was like, ‘I’m going to write a song using all the white keys.’ My music director, who knew my jazz background, suggested I try big-band music, so we spent a year experimenting with it in concert, and the audience reaction was really good Picture Quote #1

When I was growing up, you would put on a KISS record or a UFO or Aerosmith record and listen to it from the first song through the last song. It’s been so long since a band has put out a record like that Picture Quote #1

I know when I sit with my band members and we’re playing back a song that we’ve done, I know that they’re experiencing it in a completely different way and hearing stuff that they’re alerted to because the way the interpret the world is through their ears. Mine is through my eyes Picture Quote #1

I realized I was gay in the shower one day with Barbra Streisand. It happened while I was lathering, rinsing, and repeating with Pert Plus. As I was belting out the chorus to my favorite song from ‘Funny Girl,’ ‘Oh my man, I love him so, he’ll never know...’ it hit me Picture Quote #1

Everyone wants to understand art. Why not try to understand the song of a bird? ...people who try to explain pictures are usually barking up the wrong tree Picture Quote #1

I have never been so calculating as to sing some Barry White song to get a girl. But I do think it’s very romantic to cook dinner and sit around the piano at night and sing together Picture Quote #1

I do dumb stuff, like playing my favorite dumb Barry White song and lip-synching into the mirror so it looks like his voice is coming out of my mouth Picture Quote #1

I can’t think of a recent baseball song except John Fogerty’s Centerfield. It’s very difficult to write a baseball song that pleases fans and non-fans alike Picture Quote #1

I write my lyrics the day I sing the song, so even when I have the basic things, I’m thinking what can I change, what can I add, how many harmonies can I do Picture Quote #1

To die,so young to die.No, no, not I,I love the warm sunny skies,light, song, shining eyes,I want no war, no battle cry,No, no, not I Picture Quote #1
