Quotes about song
song kind
Whenever I have a bunch of tunes written, I always find a kind of uniform that accompanies the songs. Jenny Lewis
song real writing
I'm removed in my real life, and unable to express certain things face to face. So I have always found myself in this fantasy world. That's why I started writing songs and stories from a very young age. I'd much rather walk around anonymously cooking up tales than face the people that I have known forever. Jenny Lewis
song love-you writing
I think I have a hard time expressing myself in my relationships. I use songs to tell people how I'm feeling. If I can't say 'I love you,' I'll write a song about it and hope that the person figures it out. Jenny Lewis
song self play
As a busker, one thing that does not work is self-consciousness. A busker needs to be working. A busker needs to shed all ego and get down to work. Play your songs, play them well, earn your money, and don't get in people's way. Glen Hansard
song writing pieces
So writing a song is much harder than doing a classical piece for me, because in a classical piece, I can just let the mood dictate what's going to happen. Glenn Danzig
song thinking people
Well, I've been on stage my whole life. Also, when you're doing music videos, a lot of people don't understand. They think you just go up there, do the song, and they film the video. You do it like a jillion times before that though. Same thing in the studio. Glenn Danzig
song writing stories
But when you get to a song, not only do you have to do a vocal melody, you have to write words and not be redundant and make some semblance of a story Glenn Danzig
song trying lines
If you're working with a producer like Rick Rubin or whatever, you sing each line probably 30 different ways. Each time they're like, "Can you try it this way, can you try it that way?" That's each line in the song, for each song. Glenn Danzig
song artist ideas
My idea of covers is that you should never cover a song and do it exactly like the artist because everyone's always going to compare it to the way the original artists did it, and they're just going to go, 'Oh I like the original better.' Glenn Danzig
song past names
The Treorchy Male Choir - the very name is a song! May I thank the Choir, past and present, for all the glorious music-making they have shared with us. Glenda Jackson
song moving finding-yourself
Certain songs have a life, and certain songs don't. A song is like a saddle: you ride it for a while, and if it's the right kind of song you can sing it for the rest of your life. And then other songs are only really important for certain periods of your life, and you move on from them and find yourself not necessarily needing to sing them anymore. Glen Hansard
song writing hands
Keeping the pen out of your hand as much as possible is the best way to write a song, in my estimation. But the pen must come in to tighten it up. Glen Hansard
song writing people
There are people who can sit down and write a song about any given subject, and they can do it really, really well. Glen Hansard
song war men
The great Gaels of Ireland are the men that God made mad, For all their wars are merry, and all their songs are sad. Gilbert K. Chesterton
song jobs mean
I was asked to do a test commercial shoot for an Apple product which didn't mean much to me at the time. Some music player that holds all your songs. Sounded cool to me and I never gave up an opportunity to work, especially with the possibility of it turning into a national commercial. Coolest job I did in that time. Harry Shum, Jr.
song nuts dancer
Any Michael Jackson song will make any dancer go nuts. Harry Shum, Jr.
song flow comedy
Sometimes, songs spill out of you very fast, and sometimes you have to wrangle them to the floor. But the same thing is true of comedy, where sometimes it really flows. Harry Shearer
song inspiration writing
You're always going to write and draw inspiration from things that you're feeling, things that you've felt. It's kind of impossible not to unless you're writing a song and there's an exact scenario that you're trying to write a song for. Harry Styles
song yellow snow
Watch out where the Huskies go And don't you eat that yellow snow Frank Zappa
song love-you writing
All the good music has already been written by people with wigs and stuff...Basically what people want to hear is: I love you, you love me, the leaves turn brown, they fell off the trees, the wind is blowing, it got cold, you went away, my heart broke, you came back, and my heart was okay...Modern music is people who can't think signing artists who can't write songs to make records for people who can't hear. Most people wouldn't know good music if it came up and bit them on the ass...If lyrics make people do things, how come we don't love each other? Frank Zappa
song hate writing
Gimme the tune. Do I like this tune? Does it sound like another tune that I like? The more familiar it is, the better I like it. Hear those three notes there? Those are the three notes I can sing along with. I like those notes very, very much. Give me a beat. Not a fancy one. Give me a GOOD BEAT -- something I can dance to. It has to go boom-bap, boom-boom-BAP. If it doesn't, I will hate it very, very much. Also, I want it right away -- and then, write me some more songs like that -- over and over and over again, because I'm really into music. Frank Zappa
song writing artist
Modern music is people who can't think signing artists who can't write songs to make records for people who can't hear. Frank Zappa

The melody of each generation emerges from all that's gone before. Each one of us contributes in some unique way to the composition of life. Fred Rogers
song heart chords
There's hope left in these dusty chords. There's a song left in our rusty hearts. We are torn and frayed but love remains. Frank Herbert
song play matter
It doesn't really matter what chords I play, what words I say or time of day it is, as it's only a Northern Song. George Harrison
song years two
We worked the medley on side two of "Abbey Road" out carefully in advance. All of those mini songs were partly completed tunes; some were written while we were in India a year before. So there was just a bit of chorus here and a verse there. We welded them all together into a routine. George Harrison
song singing titles
Here are some funny songs, there are some songs that we didn't even remember. I heard this song that Ringo is singing, I still don't know the title of it, but it is got the most amazing lyrics and it's a quite a good production. And quite a good tun George Harrison
song prayer bird

song simple people
I'm a big fan of simplicity, especially with songs and I try not to make them complicated. I just make them simple and let people absorb that message themselves. That's my theory. Graham Russell
song couple fall
I think about everything first. I think about the scenario: the story and the characters, what I'm trying to say and I'll think about that for a couple of days until it's all locked in and then when I get to an instrument it'll just fall out. But the song's kind of all ready there in my head. Graham Russell
song successful love-is
I think 'All Out of Love' is my favorite song because it's been the most successful. It's been in about 30 movies, it's been a number one record, and it keeps getting played on the radio, it's always somewhere. Graham Russell
