Every songwriter lives to have at least one song that a cab driver who asks ‘You write anything I know?’ will recognize Picture Quote #1

James had a theory about caged birds, one he hoped to prove when he became a scientist someday. He believed that all birds that had their freedom taken from them eventually lost their voices. Once that happened, they could never find their true song Picture Quote #1

You have a song, and people know it. It’s like a calling card for you Picture Quote #1

When I finish a song, I thank God for bringing me through. You have to press on and know your calling. That’s what I’ve been doing for all my life. I just went forward Picture Quote #1

If only all the contradictory voices shouting in my head would calm down and sing a song in unison, whatever it was I wouldn’t care as long as they sang without dissonance Picture Quote #1

One thing I can’t do is do anything half-assed. I want to make sure everything is right, that the song is fully realized 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

I lost my brother in a car wreck when I was 14 years old. When I decided I wanted to be a country singer, my dad always told me, ‘Son, you should write a song about your brother.’ Picture Quote #1

I’m not sure it’s a better music world of appreciation and performance. I think the listener is a different guy, and listening is something he does in passing, with other stuff going on. There’s less care and understanding of the relationship between the song and the listener Picture Quote #1

I don’t really write journals and stuff and then adapt them to music, it’s completely within the form of the song. My great obsession and basically the bane of my existence is caring probably too much about every word, but it’s too late to change my career path Picture Quote #1

Sometimes when I’m writing a song I’ll get carried away with production when I’m only on the first verse, and that sacrifices the songwriting 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

If there’s a certain song that I want to reach a certain person or certain type of person, that’s when I play it for people Picture Quote #1

I’m quite a particular singer, and I need to feel like I can bite into the song, in a way, to make it my own. You want the challenge of the songs having some attitude Picture Quote #1

You have to keep challenging yourself. I’ve always tried to do that, and I’m not saying I’ve always been successful. Maybe I’ve rewritten the same song; it’s inevitable, but I’ve always been mindful of taking the writing somewhere else. You can’t stick in your little comfort zone Picture Quote #1

As an artist, you never want to write the same song again, you always want to challenge yourself to writing in a different way Picture Quote #1

Within the songwriting community, there are these unwritten rules for the way that a song should be written in country music, and I think that those rules are constantly being broken over the years, and the molds change and the process is evolving Picture Quote #1

I remember watching films in my teenage years, and you’d be in love with Leonardo DiCaprio, and then a song would come on. You’d love that song forever; it changed your life Picture Quote #1

The best songs are written through our anger. Even though feelings change over time, our lyrics will always remain inside the song as a way of reminding us how far and how much stronger we’ve become since then Picture Quote #1

I have struggled for decades now with the fear of and resistance to change - mostly in the realms of technology, transportation, and the ways people choose to communicate. If I had a theme song, it would be that lovely song ‘I’m Old-Fashioned,’ as sung by Ella Fitzgerald Picture Quote #1

My favorite songwriting trick is writing something like ‘XO.’ In my brain, I thought, ‘This is probably going to be a love song. How can I change that and find ways to twist that.’ As a songwriter, it’s your job for the song to take twists and turns that people don’t expect Picture Quote #1

My biggest song in the world is ‘Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love for You.’ All over the world, it’s number one on the whole planet Picture Quote #1

The songwriting of Hall and Oates is deceptively complex. There are a number of key changes that pass you by as you’re listening to the song because they’re so seamless and clever Picture Quote #1

A lot of times what happens is, not even just with child actors, but people in general, is they get so caught up in the now. The hot song, the hot TV show, the hot movie. You’re not saying ‘OK, this is cool, but where am I trying to be 20 years from now?’ That’s always been in the forefront of my mind Picture Quote #1

The Chili Peppers do a lot of improvising, but it’s within the framework of song structures. The Meatbats is from a purely instrumental standpoint. But when you hear the term ‘instrumental music’ you think it’s real serious stuff and everybody’s playing a million notes and it’s about playing fast. That’s not what we do Picture Quote #1

What’s funny for me is that I made a lot of the music I make with intentions of it being a song you listen to, to chill out Picture Quote #1
