Lyrics should not need to stand on their own many of [Bob] Dylan's do, but in common with other great lyricists, he has written plenty that falters on the page but soars in song.

Song Sung Blue took a lot of compressing and refining, and it has one of my favorite lyrics.
Neil Diamond
Image
Lyrics are for teenage girls, brah.
Eric Anthony

'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow,' if you go through the lyrics, is such a haunting melody, and the words are, for a pop song, pretty deep and dark.
Jake Epstein

You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay 'em But you won't take the sting out these words before I say 'em
Eminem

I'm a songwriter. So I'm OK. But when I wrote Stand By Me as a song and to know that the song will probably be here for hundred and hundreds of years to come, it's great, you know. And it was just simple lyrics.

I have found in black metal the lyrics are profoundly beautiful... a pathos and mythos at the same time.

Walt Disney was a great believer in the use of song to convey story. He was primarily a storyman & story-driven songs were his 'pets.' He always asked what was going on with the song - he hated 'singing heads.' He loved learning about character & motivation thru music & lyrics.
Richard Sherman

I used to play guitar for myself and write lyrics and listen to different styles of music.

I first bought a Buffy Sainte-Marie record when I was 12, and her music has always remained with me. In the 1960s, as a political activist, Buffy's lyrics were fearless, and I'm very grateful for all the risks that she took.
Steven Morrissey

Cut the crap. Just don't try to be anything that you aren't, have ambition but when it comes to lyrics especially just be honest and write from the heart almost to an awkward degree, at least that's what works for me.
Max Bemis

It's always amazing seeing the song-writing process. A song just starts off as just an idea or a story you want to tell. It keeps building and building when you add the lyrics, the instruments, the vocals until you finally reach the finished song other people can enjoy.

All I want to do, is write rock and roll that you could listen to as you got older, and it wouldn't lose anything it would be timeless, in the subject matter and the literacy of the lyrics.
Lou Reed

People get so upset about lyrics, and they're probably totally cool with horror movies. That doesn't really make sense.

It means rock'n'roll in the sack. It means sex: the lyrics, the beat of it, the thunderous feeling through your body. Before the word groupie even existed I knew that I wanted to share myself with someone who created that music and turned me on in every kind of way.
Pamela Des Barres

Anyone who wants to know who I am can just read my lyrics - I've always written about who I am.
Joan Jett

Frank [Zappa] was not a big fan of having lyrics, but sometimes he had things to say that lent themselves to lyrics.
Gail Zappa
Image
You can find me in the melodies, the chord progressions, the song style and structure. The lyrical places you fine me most are in the lyrics that 'show' more than 'tell.' I like to describe what the listener is seeing and let them make up the middle rather than telling them.
Kristian Bush

A lot of underground hip-hop will inspire me as far as rhyme patterns - really wordy, intelligent lyrics.
Travie McCoy

Bands that have positive lyrics that give people hope, I applaud them, you know I think we need to see more bands come out like that. I think it is great.
Michael Sweet

For several centuries what has passed for song in literary circles was any text that looked like the lyrics for a commonplace melodic setting.
David Antin

Some things remain fragments, just the lyrics and melodies or a line or two or a verse.
Tracy Chapman
Image
My music demands something of the listener, it is demanding music. I think that's a good thing. I'm not chiselling anything in stone or serving you any truths. Even to native Norwegian speakers, my lyrics are veiled. I'm asking questions.

A great song for me is when I hear it and it's contagious. The lyrics and the melody, if grows on you once and you want to hear it over and over again.
