Songs Quotes
-
Our image, if we have one, has been shaped only by me, Tom and Richard and the songs we write.
Tim Rice-Oxley
Keane
-
My songs are like Bic razors. For fun, for modern consumption. You listen to it, like it, discard it, then on to the next. Disposable pop.
Freddie Mercury
Queen
-
I did the best that I could to try to write you songs.
Jeremy McKinnon
A Day to Remember
-
People get a real kick out of hearing our songs with an orchestra. It makes you feel like you're in a movie with unexpected bursts of energy. It's really kind of psychedelic in a way.
Cynthia Leigh Wilson
The B-52s

Our second single (I Need Somebody) went top 20, and to a band that never made it, that would be a success. But when you have a #1 hit song, you're held up against that. It's hard to beat. The radio stations picked up a few more songs by The Mysterians, such as Can't Get Enough Of You Baby and Do Something To Me.
Bobby Balderrama
Question Mark & the Mysterians
-
We've put songs out on singles and weird little packages that only the real vinyl-philes care about.
Anthony Kiedis
Red Hot Chili Peppers
-
I always use the Rolling Stones as the whipping boy for this, but they still play old songs as 90% of their set, and we would die if that were the case.
Lee Ranaldo
Sonic Youth
-
I've done songs, which have gone out to other artists or whatever, with me singing on, but they're just demos. There is a song called CANDY IN YOUR HANDS, which I think nearly became a Def Leppard B-side. It's got me playing on it and singing, cause no one else performed on the track. So, not in a Def Leppard sense, but we always release "rare" songs, so there's always a chance.
Rick Savage
Def Leppard
-
All songs are living ghosts. And long for a living voice.
Brendan Kennelly
-
I guess I've never been introduced properly to Pink Floyd. I know they're great, don't get me wrong. Excellent, excellent musicians; great band; awesome harmony; great song writers; I just don't know anything besides, I guess, the popular songs on the radio.
Phil Anselmo
Pantera
-
When songs make me wanna throw up, it makes me ashamed to even be in the same genre as those songs.
Zac Brown Band
-
Just like any songwriter, I love it when people sing my songs.
Tim Finn
Crowded House

I studied acting and there's certainly an element of performance. I think that the songs are in many ways written to be performed. I think about what it's going to be like to sing them on stage rather than what it's going to be like to have someone at home listening to them on a CD. I guess in that way there's a connection between my acting experience and the songwriting and the way the songs are written.
Loudon Wainwright III
-
I grew up writing songs in my room on GarageBand, and I would make the beats just out of layering my vocals over and over again. Very Imogen Heap-inspired.
Ariana Grande
-
She sings the songs without words Songs that sailors, and blind men, and beggars have heard She knows more of love than the poets can say And her eyes are for something that won't go away.
Harry Chapin
-
I reckon we'll play the majority of the record and then we'll probably end the set with some of the older stuff that we can include improvisation on. I think the game plan is to play all the new stuff as individual songs, unless something opens up and we recognise it as a spot to fool around with.
Cedric Bixler-Zavala
At the Drive-In
-
When I perform in front of large audiences, I'm much more comfortable, because I've already performed in front of tiny audiences - which is much harder, honestly. The smaller you strip things down, the more you depend on the songs and yourself, as opposed to arrangements.
Alicia Keys
-
If I were a writer and not a singer in 10 years, I don't know how I'd feel about writing really personal songs and getting someone else to sing them.
Adele
