Song Quotes
-
I continue to believe, contrary to the given wisdom, that it's more interesting to have an album - or, indeed, an individual song - which has variety rather than homogeneity.
Peter Hammill
-
I guess that I'm primarily thought of as a rocker, largely because of 'Frankenstein' being such a heavy song - you know, it was really hard rock, almost a precursor of heavy metal and just the image of the synthesizer. I happened to be the first guy to get the idea of putting a strap on the keyboard.
Edgar Winter
-
He made me mess the song up when I looked at him... We can show the kids the tape and say, 'Look, that's when we first laid eyes on each other.'
Edie Brickell
-
I did a song in eight minutes. I thought everybody could write songs that fast. But working with a lot of them, they don't.
Young Thug
-
There's no separation between electronic music and acoustic music. It's all one thing. Each song has its own heartbeat. Each song has its own soul.
Jillian Rose Banks
-

Morrissey wrote a really gorgeous song for me. I'm crazy for that man. And he thinks I'm hip!
Nancy Sinatra
-
Janis Joplin is definitely one of my biggest influences. She taught me how to feel music, and I don't think there's anyone like her that could bring such pain and emotion to a song.
LeAnn Rimes
-
I've always felt that to deliver a song successfully, you have to be an actress. A good actress becomes the part, just as a good singer becomes the song.
Vesta Williams

But when you hear the complete album, it gets dark, really straight-up rock, with some really intimate moments with just me and the piano. It's not completely me because there are parts of me that aren't on that song, that are on the album.
Vanessa Carlton
-
It might crush a lot of people, but I've never been in the room with an artist that I've written a song for.
Bebe Rexha
-
Everyone from the pope to some hobo thinks, "I'm a human being. What am I doing here?" You can't get carried away with fame and fortune and all that. It's all nonsense. The whole pop-star side of it is all fun and good, but you don't get anywhere without putting in the hours. I get so fulfilled when we play a song live that we spent hours working on. It's all cool. Fame is something to have fun with, but you shouldn't take it too seriously because it is bollocks.
Chris Martin
Coldplay
-
You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain, too much love drives a man insane. You broke my will, but what a thrill. Goodness gracious, great balls of fire.
Jerry Lee Lewis

Where you go, I go,
What you see, I see,
I know I'd never be me without the security,
Are your loving arms keeping me from harm
Put your hands in my hand & we'll stand.
Adele

Daniel Smith
