More quotes by Shelby Lynne
I like rules that are broken.
Shelby Lynne
You know, I just don't believe that art is supposed to make sense. I really don't think it's supposed to be analyzed to death. It's left to the listener or looker to get what they can get from it.
Shelby Lynne
I feel like records are moments in time, a modern moment that feels right then and it found its way to us then, that minute. We can all try and repeat records we have made that had success, but it's not possible.
Shelby Lynne
What is happy? I think happy's in the moment. I don't think everybody can be happy all the time.
Shelby Lynne
I think a lot of people think that my parents' deaths is why I write such sad songs, but that's not true. Those songs may just be the woman I am.
Shelby Lynne
Ben [Peeler] and I have known each other for a decade. He trusts my crazy ideas and spontaneous combustion and he gets the players I want and knows the kind of personality players I like. He has taste that I trust and that to me is more important than any technical things.
Shelby Lynne
A great hang is mandatory. But in all of my years as a traveling musician, on a whole it's been pretty damn magical. There have been a couple duds along the way, but most time, I'm in awe of the guys who want to play on my records.
Shelby Lynne
I've pretty much run the circle of labels and dealing with that whole kind of battle, because you're the one creating the music, but you're not the final say. That's always been hard.
Shelby Lynne
That's what I so admired about Johnny Cash and June Carter. Their music wasn't a big influence on me. It was their character, their individual styles, what they were like as people. They weren't afraid to stick out.
Shelby Lynne
The musings are the same I believe the fire to create burns so heavily that I am never far from a guitar or a fountain pen.
Shelby Lynne
I still believe in the old-school show thing no frills, no fancy equipment just a guitar and some amps and some drums, and throw it out there and do it the best you can in a live sense, because it's easy to make records. But the live show is where you really show if you've got the balls to do it.
Shelby Lynne
I can't write about your pain I only know my own.
Shelby Lynne
It is so killer to collaborate with someone who gets what you're trying to say.
Shelby Lynne
I'd like to thank my parents for always stressing, be an individual.
Shelby Lynne
I like strength. I depend on my own.
Shelby Lynne
I am a late starter. I like to go on into the night when it's quiet and everything has shut down. I find that's where music and minds open in the dark.
Shelby Lynne
I feel like I've kind of gotten to a peaceful place in my heart.
Shelby Lynne
Now I can make a thousand dollars a night at a club.
Shelby Lynne
I love the live cut part of making records the surprises are the prizes.
Shelby Lynne
It was hard to work and work and work and not get your music played on the radio.
Shelby Lynne
