Before the Beatles, songwriters were very anonymous people and nobody paid any attention to them.
Bjorn Ulvaeus
Image
I never thought of myself as being a good songwriter. There are a ton of other people that are good songwriters, but I don't think I'm in the club. What I do well is perform, sometimes sing pretty good, and accompany myself well and arrange fairly well.
Alex Chilton

I enjoyed hearing people do their own songs. I became attracted to singer-songwriters. I became interested in them as people was curious about what they wanted to say.
Lyle Lovett

All songwriters are links in a chain.
Pete Seeger
Image
I think for many songwriter/performers, you need to go off by yourself and write the songs to begin with, but then you need people to bring them to life. So you have to be comfortable with solitude and also with being very social.
Alan Licht

I traveled the world as a DJ, as a singer, as a songwriter, as a producer.
Al Walser
Image
The songwriters whom we think of being the greatest songwriters usually write one hit and six or seven flops.
Ahmet Ertegun

Getting on stage, for me, was a huge thing when I first started. And back in high school, everyone was in rock bands and I was a singer/songwriter. It just seems kind of lame.
Tyler Hilton

If somebody says 'singer-songwriter' to me, the first person I think of is James Taylor. There are plenty of modern singer-songwriters, but there is something about James Taylor that has always resonated with me.
Zachary Levi

I don't think there's any problem with working with a songwriter or a producer, but I just don't think you should completely hand it over to them.
Howard Lawrence
Image
I'm a closet singer-songwriter. That keeps my creative juices flowing.
Zoe McLellan
Image
I appreciate a songwriter like Morrissey with so much restraint.
Zooey Deschanel

It's not like that when you're a songwriter - songwriters aren't like pulp writers or journalists, even. You just follow the muse. It's called muse-ic. Whenever the muse decides to bestow her inspiration on the songwriter, then the song is born.
Cass McCombs
Image
I didn't want to be the crippled songwriter or the crippled singer. I wanted to be the singer or the songwriter who was crippled. I wanted to be larger than life and a man among men.
Doc Pomus
Image
I don't really like to call myself a brand, and I don't like to think of myself as a brand. I'm a singer, a songwriter, a musician and a performer. And an actress, and all the other things that I do. When you add it all together, some might call it a brand, but that's not my focus.
Beyonce Knowles

No matter how many people try, no matter how many fancy songwriters in Los Angeles try to break it down to a formula... to an extent, there isn't a science to writing great songs, I suppose.
Lauren Mayberry

The confessional singer-songwriter movement of the 1970s was in full swing, and Bob Dylan's emotional album [ Blood on the Tracks] resonated with the times. There would be other hits, but never the same alchemy of emotion and time.
Bob Dylan
Image
I'm a great songwriter, but I'm not the most talented musician.
Noel Gallagher
Image
I think I come under the singer/songwriter badge. I've always written songs right from the very beginning. Because of my style of playing people tend of me more of a guitar player than a singer sometimes.
Bert Jansch
Image
When I'm writing a song, it's just me and the songwriters. Then when the song is done, there are publishers that hear it, then people in my management, then my wife and my boys and my friends, and if they're all lovin' it, it's kind of withstanding all the criticism I need.
Luke Bryan
Image
I wasn't really writing anything that I felt was worth it at the end, but then certain things sparked me as a solo writer - to be able to try new things and experiment, and ultimately challenge myself as a performer and as a songwriter and just to commit to ideas, and not be afraid to be myself.
William Beckett
Image
One of my goals from really early on was that if I was ever fortunate enough to be successful in music, I would want to stay the same person and the same songwriter.
Taylor Swift
Image
It was like I had evolved to a certain stage where I was stuck in this songwriter bag as an image. But basically at heart, I'm a rocker. And I still am. But I was caught up in the singer/songwriter bag and I wasn't really enjoying it.
Van Morrison

Adam [Cohen] is a great singer-songwriter in his own right.
Leonard Cohen
