Songs Quotes
-
Most of my songs are about insensitivity of some kind.
Randy Newman -
People say to me, 'Do you dye your hair?' and I say, 'Well, does f**king Siouxsie Sioux? Does Bowie?'. Of course I'm going to have a decent haircut. It's one of the first things I learnt to do - get a few songs together and get your hairstyle right.
Johnny Marr Pretenders
-
I had a lot of songs and words and scenes stuck inside of me. So Jacknife encouraged me to bring them all out. So, in essence, 'You and Others' is my diary.

I feel the emotion that life conjures up and the songs I write get me closer to my feelings and realising who I am. It's a natural process.
Taylor Swift -
I like Sam Smith and Taylor Swift. I love pop music, but I also like Sam Smith's slow songs. That would be more to dance to. I think dancers like different genres of music, compared to just a regular person.
Maddie Ziegler -
I'm not sure how young kids get to the point where they're memorizing and knowing songs, but I knew the words to 'Missing You' from John Waite probably from when I was three years old. For whatever reason, that was the song that I gravitated toward when it was on the radio and I was driving around with my mom.
Brandon Flowers The Killers -
I've written songs sober and I've written songs high.
Barry Mann -
I first knew Laurie Lewis by her considerable reputation as a fiddle player and a writer of songs. When an opportunity came along to sing with her I seized it. Getting to know her as a singer and a person has been pure pleasure. Her voice is a rare combination of grit and grace, strength and delicacy. Her stories are always true.
Linda Ronstadt

Taylor is a musician who does things under her own name and tells her own stories-her songs and her albums are her.

The songs certainly have not made my fortune, but I am still grateful for the royalties when they come in.
Sydney Carter -
I love working and writing new songs. But sometimes you need to wait, to have something in your mind, and then you can let yourself play music.
Yann Tiersen -
Vocally and stylistically, we'd have different kinds of songs come on the radio, and people didn't realize it was the same band. A lot of the time, a casual fan would come see us and go, 'I didn't know that you guys did that song. I didn't know that was you!' That was us!
Steve Lukather Toto -
I don't like to go into the studio with all the songs worked out and planned before hand ... you've got to give the band something to use its imagination on as well. That can make a very ordinary song come alive into something totally different ... the X-factor - so important in rock and roll - which is the feel.
Keith Richards The Rolling Stones -
My inspiration for songs is just everyday life. I just write down words about things that have happened to me, people I've met.
Paolo Nutini
-
My pump-up songs before I compete are not the usual. They're more girly songs. I love 'The Climb' by Miley Cyrus. It's about the journey and savoring every moment. I have 'The World's Greatest' by R. Kelly on my playlist, too.
Kacy Catanzaro -
I've had a lot of folks tell me that my songs weren't quite country because they didn't really sound like anybody that had come along and done it before me. I felt a little out of place for a while.

Carlene Carter -
Starting a band is the easy part. Once you've formed the band, you have to tell a story, and that story requires songs. And not just good songs, but great songs. After a while, great songs won't do - they have to be the best. Success doesn't make it any easier. Each time I start a new record, it's a brand-new search.
David Howell Evans U2
-
Some people try and tell you what the songs are about and it bores me to death.
Lars Ulrich Metallica -
I believe in working with songs that have personal value for me.
M. Ward -
I've been writing a lot about my encounter with love. Which is the white stag as far as songwriting is concerned because love songs are so banal, and my experience with love is anything but that.
J. Tillman -
I've always had this thing about it not really mattering where you're from, because there's always been this big cloud over America saying you have to live in L.A. or you have to live in New York to make it. I always knew it didn't matter as long as you had the songs.
Brandon Flowers The Killers
