Sometimes songwriters and singers forget that. They get a melody in their head and the notes will take precedence, so that they wind up forcing a word onto a melody. It doesn’t ring true (Songwriters Quotes)

Frequently, as so many poets and psalmists and songwriters have said, the invisible shift happens through the broken places (Songwriters Quotes)

I really believe in myself. I’m the hardest worker I know, and one of the best songwriters. There’s a craft to it, and it takes a long time to hone it, and I work really hard at it (Songwriters Quotes)
Songwriters can’t explain. You get an idea and you don’t know where it’s come from. And if you’re lucky, you have a pencil or pen and can write it down (Songwriters Quotes)
You know, there’s still a lot of great songwriters out there who hand in songs. And there’s a lot of brilliant singers and performers out there who sing other people’s words. I enjoy doing both (Songwriters Quotes)

I like this town, it’s really great. They’ve put me in The Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. This town is about music. It’s about the kind of music I like (Songwriters Quotes)
A lot of artists use memories. A lot of prose writers, a lot of poets, a lot of songwriters, refer back to something. Generally it’s all you’ve got, unless you’re brilliant and can write totally in the now (Songwriters Quotes)
I’m a binge writer. I work in the music business fulltime, in artist management and developing songwriters and recording artists, and so juggling my job I carve out as much time as I can on the weekends (Songwriters Quotes)
I think people who are artists, actors, singers, great songwriters, they tend to have a hyper state of emotion where they feel things very, very deeply, probably more deeply than the average person walking down the street where it may affect them, but not to the same extent (Songwriters Quotes)

A lot of times when songwriters get together and write a song... somebody will come in with a hook and a lot of times they come out with something that sounds a little crafty (Songwriters Quotes)
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 (Songwriters Quotes)

It’s the difference between processing fish and catching it in a boat (Songwriters Quotes)
