Song Quotes

You don’t have to pound your head after hearing a country song and wonder if you missed something Picture Quote #1

When I hear a great country song, I get chills and I want to cry. You feel something. And just sometimes that magic and the stars line up somehow or another, and it creates something that’s really, really, really special Picture Quote #1

The jazz chord substitutions in a country song... that was another thing that bent people’s ears. I guess that my favorites are the unique ones. It’s not how fast you play. It’s that unique blending of different stuff I’m most proud of Picture Quote #1

A lot of country music is sad. I think most art comes out of poverty and hard times. It applies to music. Three chords and the truth - that’s what a country song is. There is a lot of heartache in the world Picture Quote #1

I’ve really been writing a lot of country songs. I used to get criticized for doing a ‘Bump and Grind,’ then turning around and doing a gospel song. But the truth is I’m glad I have a gift that allows me to switch lanes Picture Quote #1

The first time I heard ‘Jolene,’ I was 12 years old, and it was performed by Jack White. I remember watching that video and forgetting it was from a woman’s point of view, and forgetting it was a country song, and forgetting it was originally by Dolly Parton Picture Quote #1

To be 23 and riding the crest of a song sweeping the world country by country is to live an altered and wholly rarefied existence Picture Quote #1

And I’m the biggest country fan there is, but I’m always a little cautious of a slower song or just a song with subject matter Picture Quote #1

The song [The White Trash Song] was not a put down of [ my country cousins ], but a celebration. I wrote that early on, as a teenager Picture Quote #1

I could never be a country person, sitting around trees trying to write a song. I would rather be in the middle of society, whether it’s growing or crumbling Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t want to cover a Hank Williams song in a country-western way. It doesn’t occur to me instinctually to re-create productions. I’m interested in re-creating songs. Putting different clothes on them Picture Quote #1

I like lots of songs, and I find it quite interesting to do [cover songs] from time to time. My first solo hit was in 1973, the [Bob] Dylan song A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall Picture Quote #1

I would push for more production and Steve Miller would say, Why do you want to have more production when you have real songs? You don’t want to cover up the song Picture Quote #1

Creating a decent pop song is a challenge - and occasionally, once in every decade - it’s kind of fun to do that Picture Quote #1

Actually, I very much dislike routine. Creating music is my chaos therapy. The writing process puts me in a good place. Recording the music is the release of however I felt in the song Picture Quote #1

I’ve written songs before, and I don’t want to share them with anybody. It’s really personal for me, that sort of creative outlet where you put your emotions to paper or put to song. I don’t do it that much anymore, but to let someone in on that outlet and to have it susceptible to judgment is scary Picture Quote #1

I can’t wait to be a mom and a wife, and explore that phase of life. And also see how it affects and influences my song writing and creativity Picture Quote #1

Writing by myself, I spread that out more. I’ll spend more time on a song then. I’m more critical about it, because there’s no one else in the room to tell me, ‘That’s really not translating. I’m not getting what you’re saying.’ So, I’m constantly rewriting it, thinking, ‘No, that’s fine,’ and going back Picture Quote #1

You sounded like someone who should be singing on a cruise ship. Halfway through your song, I wished the ship was sinking Picture Quote #1

When I first started writing the album, Cry Baby was a song that I really wanted to write because it represented all of these personal insecurities that I had for a long time Picture Quote #1

I want people to leave the theater with a greater understanding of the rich cultural heritage of Pakistan. Song of Lahore moves beyond headlines and stereotypes and shows that a vast majority of Pakistanis are not perpetrators of religious violence - they are victims of it. The beautiful cultural heritage of the region belies its image in the West as monolithically religious, intolerant, and violent Picture Quote #1

I was 18, at art school, and saw this cute boy playing banjo. I was obsessed. I taught myself how to play. I listened to a lot of country and just messed around. The second song I wrote on the banjo was ‘Good to Be a Man.’ That what’s got me signed Picture Quote #1

The boys in the office preferred Daft Punk and the song Robot Rock as an anthem, speaking excitedly and without irony about wanting to become robots one day. That made me wonder: Why? What’s the pull of being a robot? Picture Quote #1

I think differently, I think it’s about reaching everybody on every different plane and every different level, and if I could remix the song and do a dance remix, that’s great. If I could do a classical version, that’ll be great too. It’s all just about expression Picture Quote #1

I can’t just make a song people can dance in a club to... it still has to be real Picture Quote #1

I’m a sucker for a catchy song, and dance music. That’s my sweet spot Picture Quote #1

The mere existence of ‘Buffy’ proves the declinists wrong about one thing: Hollywood commercialism can produce great art. Complex and evolving characters. Playful language. Joy and sorrow, pathos and elation. Episodes that dare to be different - to tell stories in silence or in song. Big themes and terrible choices Picture Quote #1

Sweet Dreams’ is such a dark-sounding song, but it’s about not taking anything for granted; share yourself with others after you have first spent some time with yourself Picture Quote #1

We have a history in country music of writing about the darker side of things - maybe not as much in modern times, but there’s a lot of cheating and self-deprecation. We sort it out in song, in country music, as a genre Picture Quote #1

If I write when I’m low, it will be a dark song, but I don’t care. I want to be honest with myself at all times Picture Quote #1
