Steve Jobs was one of the first people to understand that the computer wasn't just a tool, but that it could be an extension of ourselves, and he positioned Apple that way. The iPod was this revolutionary device with the idea of 1,000 songs in your pocket, and then that machine represents who you are.
Alex Gibney

I'd rather write great songs because the word commercial is so subjective
Beth Nielsen Chapman
Image
If you pour your life into songs, you want them to be heard. It's a desire to communicate. A deep desire to communicate inspires songwriting.
Bono

A black face, run-down shoes and elbow-out make-up give me a place to hide. The real Bert Williams is crouched deep down inside the coon who sings the songs and tells the stories.

Getting a gay fan base is slow. I think if I were able to reach more gay people they would love it. I can't get the songs in their ears. I love my gay family. I just wish I could reach more of them. I'm in this car going from club to club but they're not gay clubs.

After playing so many songs in churches for eight or nine years, I've learned what songs people react to. Then I just had fun with the arrangements. That's how this album came together.
John Tesh

I started writing songs at age 15.
Vince Clarke

There is always something of the writer in the work but I don't think Melville had to be swallowed by a whale to write a great novel. If I had lived the lives of all the characters of the songs I've written, that would truly be an extraordinary story.
Michael Stipe

I can tell what inspired the songs for me, or what I was thinking and feeling at the time. But I don't want that to be the definitive meaning behind the song. I like the idea that people can interpret, even if they're way off base. I'm rambling. I'm not good at talking about my feelings.

People think first love is sweet, and never sweeter than when that first bond snaps. You've heard a thousand pop and country songs that prove the point some fool got his heart broke. Yet that first broken heart is always the most painful, the slowest to mend, and leaves the most visible scar. What's so sweet about that?
Stephen King

I chose not to jump into the media frenzy and defend myself, though I was begged to be on every single TV show in existence. They want to blame entertainment? Isn't religion the first real entertainment? People dress up in costumes, sing songs and dedicate themselves in eternal fandom.
Marilyn Manson

Queen songs are not about the life of a rock star - they tend to be about the lives of normal people, which is why I think the songs connect so much. We're very lucky that they seemingly connect with every generation.
Brian May
Image
Writing songs is not something I wanted to share with people for a long time. It was precious to me. I didnt want someone to crush it. I waited until I felt strong enough to take the criticism.
Ray LaMontagne
Image
My mother always told me if you write about life, you will always be in the game. Just don't write songs write life. I decided to take her up on that.
R. Kelly

I've written some poetry, but...songs have to be more poetic, and I've really gotten to this non-poetic sort of writing.
Mike Gordon
Image
I thought poems were songs for people with bad voices.
Lorna Dee Cervantes

To me, it's all about the song. Songs are what make me excited. You hear a great song and you want to record it or get a great idea and you want to write it.
Amy Grant
Image
Queen songs tend to be about very personal things: personal dreams and personal ambitions.
Brian May
Image
I find I always throw limbs here and there in my lyrics. I kind of put my physical self into the songs.
Martina Sorbara
Image
I began dabbling in writing when I was 12, and there was never an official start to singing... I just sang my songs because there was no one else to sing them and no one told me to shut up!
Brooke Fraser

I picked up the guitar at 11, but even before then, I was writing songs on the organ.
Tracy Chapman

Music-hall songs provide the dull with wit, just as proverbs provide them with wisdom.
W. Somerset Maugham
Image
I don't hide anything about my life, I talk about everything. I talk about it - all kinds of things. I've done songs about bad experiences, a couple about growing up in the ghetto and being abused, sexually. Being raped. And I talk about it.
Lady Saw

I get sick when I think about someone going to iTunes and downloading two songs off our album. It's not meant to be listened to that way.
