Song Quotes
-
Generally I just pick music that I like. That's the part I really enjoy: When I get permission for the songs I want and put them into the scenes. It's always hard when you're doing a low-budget film, so it's great when you can get all the music you want to get.
Sofia Coppola

When you sample something, you're using the crutch of borrowing chords and melodies from a song that's already great, that's already stood the test of time, that's already special. When you're trying to do it all from scratch, you're writing something brand new that has to stand on its own.
G-Eazy

To write a love song that might be able to make it on the radio, that is something that is terrifying to me. But I can definitely write a song about that chair over there. That I can do, but to sit and write a pop song out of the clear blue sky, that is very difficult and I admire the people that can do it.
Barry Manilow
-
I just sing the song and I sing it with conviction, meaning and I get into the mood of every song I do no matter how much time I have in between.

I've been writing since I came to Nashville when I was 17. I've been blessed to have written with so many of the biggest names around. They took me under their wing and taught me the ways of writing. They saw something special in me, which feels great. Every song on my record is going to be original, and that's just a really cool feeling.

When I was about 14, I got a tacky keyboard for 250 pounds and put on a drum machine and found I could write a song.

The chorus-ending from Aristophanes, raised every night from every ditch that drains into the Mediterranean, hoarse and primeval as the raven's croak, is one of the grandest tunes to walk by. Or on a night in May, one can walk through the too rare Italian forests for an hour on end and never be out of hearing of the nightingale's song.
G. M. Trevelyan
-
The story behind every song is individual to itself.
Kelly Jones

Actually it was not really a very special feeling, but surely we’ve been kind of proud of being in the business for such a long time, but that is what we always wanted to do. And I think there is nothing better to live your dreams, even if they are bad some times. But I think that keeps you going. To say it with a song title from the Double X album…"But We Still Rock"!
Claus Lessmann
Bonfire

One of my side strange abilities is to hear a good song, no matter how it's being performed. Even if you get a bad performance, I can still hear that there's a good song.
Manfred Mann

Whenever I hear somebody cover a song, I don't like to hear it stray too far from the original. I like to hear some of the new energy that a band will put into it, but you kind of want to hear some of the basic parts of the song. I mean, that's what makes it the song that you like.
Joe Perry
Aerosmith
