Songs Quotes
-
When I grew up, there were no songs about gay people.
Melissa Etheridge

I think my least favourite thing to listen to is perfect songs, perfect performances. They don't feel human to me, and in that respect, they lose any kind of sincerity. I don't know why. It's just my ears.
Frank Iero
My Chemical Romance

It’s a lot of fun because we can do the songs in a different way and be a little more adventurous, so that feels really good y’know. And there’s the choice from 10 albums, over 100 songs, to figure out what the set is going to be.
Paul Waaktaar-Savoy
-
I write all of my songs from scratch, so the one thing I love about EDM is the way a song transforms into a piece of art, and how the different sounds can change the feel of the record.
Bebe Rexha

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 don't write about anything I don't want to write about. I like to think I could write about anything pretty much that I chose to. I have been asked to write songs about specific things, and I've always been able to come up with the goods.
Loudon Wainwright III

Rob fought this so hard. He hired a musicologist in England to analyse the song. It turns out that musicologists use a scale of twelve notes and if eight of those notes are present in both songs, then the accused, us, is deemed guilty. Which we were. Rob wouldn’t have it, so he then got an American musicologist to analyse it. He said the same. We lost again. John Denver got his per cent cut and a writer’s credit. Warners wanted to take it off the album on any subsequent pressings, but we said no. I still don’t hear it now. Denver died in 1997, shortly after it was eventually settled. God, imagine if we did that with all the tunes that sound like us? We’d make a fortune. Humh . . . there’s a thought.
Peter Hook
New Order

I'm always asked if the songs that I write are therapeutic, and my answer is a quick no. In fact, it could be argued that they exacerbate my neurosis.
Loudon Wainwright III
-
Her album is very much what she wanted to say, and it's funny going through the process with her and knowing what these songs are about and watching her mature into what she is now an artist as opposed to an 'American Idol' winner, ... That was probably the most fun I've had on a session. She was so much fun and very laid-back, but very sincere.
Ben Moody
Evanescence
-
It's hard to be in the limelight and write songs that cater to fans that have expectations of you. We just want to write songs that we love, but all the different people with different ideas coming in make it difficult. We have to ask ourselves if we're writing for the most important people: the fans.
Josh Dun
Twenty One Pilots
-
It doesn't bother me when people try to deconstruct my songs – because at least they're looking at the lyrics, and paying attention to the way the story is told.
Taylor Swift
-
I make songs that I genuinely enjoy and love, and just put them out kind of freely and carelessly.
Andrew Bazzi
