Songwriting Quotes

I’ve always gravitated towards songwriting that happens easily and spontaneously, because those have always been my best songs Picture Quote #1

It seems like songwriting for most songwriters is only one season in their life, a five or ten year period. For me, I don’t worry about it, but I know there might come a day when I can’t write anymore, or don’t have good song ideas or the fire to do it anymore Picture Quote #1

I see pictures in my mind and become the character in the song as I’m writing. It’s kind of method songwriting, where you’re the actor in the song Picture Quote #1

The key to songwriting is just to be able to observe, and put yourself in situations to be around people, and let those ideas come to you Picture Quote #1

I love music, so if I wasn’t singing, I would probably still be working in the music industry. I love songwriting, so I’d probably be a songwriter Picture Quote #1

Songwriting is actually a really great outlet. I kind of recommend it. You get to sum up whatever is going on in your life in a song, then perform it really passionately Picture Quote #1

Songwriting is like a therapy, it’s a connection that you have with another person, and I’m not scared of it at all for some reason Picture Quote #1

When I get all focused on songwriting, I get into all the marketing and promotion that we do to make it happen. Then the right song comes along and blows it all out of the water. The right song will do it for you every time Picture Quote #1

The joy of songwriting only gets messed up if you are trying to follow up a big success, or you are trying to create a hit single, or if you have conscious thoughts of a particular outcome for the music Picture Quote #1

To me, the guitar is a tool for songwriting, and it’s fun, too. The day that it’s not fun, that’s when I’m not gonna play guitar anymore Picture Quote #1

Songwriting helps me sort out my personal problems. With acting, you’re just a tool for someone’s ideas Picture Quote #1

Early in my songwriting career, when I was learning a lot about writing songs, I’d force myself to sit down until I came up with something Picture Quote #1

I feel like I’m creeping closer to finding the situation that triggers songwriting, which is obviously an extreme of an emotion Picture Quote #1

I always have to remember that I am the narrator, but it doesn’t have to be about me. A lot of songwriting is about trying to use what part of me is valid in telling the story. I don’t want to overcook it, you know? Sometimes it seems that’s really where the work is Picture Quote #1

I really wanted to focus on my songwriting, or songwriting with other people. I wanted to go learn from other people who were really good at the classic, more traditional idea of songwriting Picture Quote #1

Songwriting is a mysterious art. When I sit down to write a song, the end result should be mysterious and have this dark quality Picture Quote #1

Songwriting as an art is a bit archaic now. Just writing a song is not good enough Picture Quote #1

Country music was the music I was brought up on. It’s the music that’s closest to my heart and the music that speaks to me the most, and it’s always been a big influence on my own songwriting Picture Quote #1

I never wrote poetry, just prose. I don’t really consider songwriting a form of poetry either. The words are important, of course, but they’re dependent on the music Picture Quote #1

I respect country music because I feel like it’s more about the talent and the songwriting Picture Quote #1

I’m the only girl songwriter that fights for a lot of things. I fight for songwriting fees, which record labels want you to shut up about Picture Quote #1

I draw the line at letting people into my songwriting cave. To me, that’s where the alchemy happens and where the mystery is Picture Quote #1

Gatekeeper was sort of my first attempt to put a little bit of a frame and boundaries around songwriting, and try to figure out a way to approach it that had a sort of end result in mind. I havent written many like that Picture Quote #1

I see songwriting as having to do with experience, and the more you’ve experienced, the better it is. But it has to be tempered, and you just must let your imagination run Picture Quote #1

When I was 15, all I knew was that I had to be somebody and that I could be somebody. So I exploited the only thing I knew, which was singing and songwriting Picture Quote #1

Even when I stop performing or stop making records I won’t stop being creative. Songwriting is a good outlet Picture Quote #1

I’m getting bored performing the same songs over and over. Songwriting comes and goes Picture Quote #1

I’m not inspired by songwriting at all; that took place years ago. I’m pretty well established, as far as my influences go. I don’t listen to music anymore. It all sounds the same to me Picture Quote #1
