Songwriter Quotes

A songwriter should have friends who are similarly interested; should move about in the milieu of work he has chosen for himself Picture Quote #1

The songwriter mustn’t fall in love with his own song. If it doesn’t belong, he can’t push it into a show. Let him save it; maybe it’ll fit in another show Picture Quote #1

I write a lot from instinct. But as you’re writing out of instinct, once you reach a certain level as a songwriter, the craft is always there talking to you in the back of your head... that tells you when it’s time to go to the chorus, when it’s time to rhyme. Real basic craft... it’s second nature Picture Quote #1

The immediacy of the technology of the web allows us, as songwriters, to write something very sharp and quick.

It’s the difference between processing fish and catching it in a boat Picture Quote #1

You need to understand that a skilled professional songwriter can accelerate your success as an already talented musician. These people are writing every single day, so their craft is really sharp, and it’s the best songwriters who consistently get on the radio Picture Quote #1
