Song Quotes

With writing a song, I’ve always felt, right from the start, like I’m scraping the bottom of the barrel. I don’t ever feel there’s a font of ideas to fall back on Picture Quote #1

When I was a teeny little girl, I was in dancing school, and I sang. We had to put a dance to a song, so I went to the 10-cent store one day and looked at all the sheet music. It was all laid out, and I picked ‘Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries.’ Picture Quote #1

It’s likely that taboo words are stored in the right hemisphere of the brain. Massive left hemisphere strokes or the entire surgical removal of the left hemisphere can leave people with no articulate speech other than the ability to swear, spout cliches and song lyrics Picture Quote #1

I wrote a techno song about the four things I love in Germany to make myself happy, which are my grandfather, my two poodle pets, bread, and a strange but delicious Turkish dish called Doener Kebab Picture Quote #1

I like my name. My mom named me after a song by the 1970s group Bread. So, it’s meaningful, and I like the song. It’s a love song - kind of - but it’s kind of depressing and dark Picture Quote #1

I don’t care about the rules, if I don’t break the rules at least 10x every song then I’m not doing my job Picture Quote #1

I think ‘Tattoo’s a song that can go so many different ways. Some people think of it as a break-up song, but, for me, it’s about somebody who comes into your life and really touches you - be they a friend, a family member or someone you’re in a relationship with Picture Quote #1

My favorite would be ‘Love to Love You’ because from zero, I went to Number One. I don’t think it’s the best song - the best one is probably between ‘Flashdance’ and ‘Take My Breath Away.’ Picture Quote #1

I couldn’t make every song about Texas because it wouldn’t be new; it wouldn’t be a breath of fresh air Picture Quote #1

The way to do it is to put as much life into the song as I can. You can either get it to breathe or you can’t Picture Quote #1

For a brief moment, I considered deconstructing the song and going down a cerebral road, but then I realized it would kill what is most powerful about it Picture Quote #1

The future looks extremely bright indeed, with lots of possibilities ahead -- big possibilities. Like the song says, We’ve just begun Picture Quote #1

I think I bring the songs that aren’t about me or related to me to life. It’s like the song ‘How Do I Let A Good Man Down?’ Let me tell you, I didn’t write that song - because if I have a good man, I ain’t going to let him down Picture Quote #1

When stuff gets hard, and you’re feeling real down about everything or in a cark space, a song can bring you out of it Picture Quote #1

Music is powerful; it transforms emotions and experiences into something tangible. Every time you hear a familiar song, the feelings from it bubble to the surface, bringing back memories you might have otherwise forgotten Picture Quote #1

Anyone would be embarrassed of what they did at 15 or 16. I listen back to that first record, and I’m like, ‘Compared to what my contemporaries were doing, it was crappy.’ You listen to an early Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera song, and they are great pop songs. I just don’t feel like on that first record I got anywhere near anything great Picture Quote #1

Broadway is not just the song and the shows; it’s the individual performers and the community Picture Quote #1

If I sing you broke my heart, you left me flat, everyone knows exactly what that means - they know the story. But if I sing a line that’s plaintive or wailing, people can experience their own set of emotions and their own story. Each of us might give that phrase a different meaning. It’s open to interpretation, and one song becomes a thousand songs. I love that Picture Quote #1

I guess you could write a good song if your heart hadn’t been broken, but I don’t know of anyone whose heart hasn’t been broken Picture Quote #1

I was once an extra in a Bruce Springsteen video where they did a live performance video at Tramps. I forget the name of the song Picture Quote #1

One of my favorite albums in the world is Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Nebraska.’ Each song has this very distinct character who has something profound to say Picture Quote #1

Seven-11 is the pulse-beat of America. I think that Bruce Springsteen should do a song about a 7-11 in Asbury Park, New Jersey, but write it in such a way that American’s youth can identify and slurp along with the Boss. Hail the Boss! Hail 7-11! Picture Quote #1

Jobs was a strong-willed, elitist artist who didn’t want his creations mutated inauspiciously by unworthy programmers. To him it would be as if someone off the street added some brush strokes to a Picasso painting or changed the lyrics to a Dylan song Picture Quote #1

You can build up expectations for a song before you record it, and then it’s like nothing’s good enough in the studio Picture Quote #1

My parents’ generation was definitely pre-telly, and they knew how to entertain each other. Everybody knew something that they could do - a song or a poem, or a piece of music. At school, I remember being a cat and then a budgie and then a bumble bee. I obviously thought all that was marvelous Picture Quote #1

Your kisses lift me higher...like the sweet song of a choir. You light my morning sky, with burning love Picture Quote #1

When I graduated from college in early 2010, I decided that I needed to create a calling card, some kind of business card that people can link to my name and face. So I did this ‘Mad Men Theme Song... With a Twist’ music video. I released it just as I moved to L.A Picture Quote #1

Let’s not allow the voice of the people to be overwhelmed by the siren song of those who opposed regulation, who demanded that government should stand aside and let finance and business run the show Picture Quote #1

It used to be that you’d have a song recorded by a major country artist and if it was a hit, you could buy a car. Now you can buy a dealership Picture Quote #1

With writing a song, I’ve always felt, right from the start, like I’m scraping the bottom of the barrel. I don’t ever feel there’s a font of ideas to fall back on. (Song Quotes) When I was a teeny little girl, I was in dancing school, and I sang. We had to put a dance to a song, so I went to the 10-cent store one day and looked at all the sheet music. It was all laid out, and I picked ‘Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries.’ (Song Quotes) It’s likely that taboo words are stored in the right hemisphere of the brain. Massive left hemisphere strokes or the entire surgical removal of the left hemisphere can leave people with no articulate speech other than the ability to swear, spout cliches and song lyrics. (Song Quotes) Disco was brand new then and there were a few jocks that had monstrous sound systems but they wouldn’t dare play this kind of music. They would never play a record where only two minutes of the song was all it was worth. They wouldn’t buy those types of records. (Song Quotes) I wrote a techno song about the four things I love in Germany to make myself happy, which are my grandfather, my two poodle pets, bread, and a strange but delicious Turkish dish called Doener Kebab.
