All the high-tone, big-time folks would say, 'Isn't it wonderful how these untrained, primitive musicians can pick up all the latest songs instantly without being able to read music?
Eubie Blake
Image
People who have memorized your songs-how can you not love them?
Todd Rundgren
Image
I've always written songs that were confessional, acoustic, wordy - my writing style matches my personality. The music always has to match the mouth it comes out of.
Camila Cabello
Image
I never had any other thought in my mind. I was gonna write songs, I was gonna be a star and a singer and I never thought of doing anything else.
Kim Carnes
Image
His songs were soon curled on the lips of the world, they had earned him the highest acclaim. And yet his greatest desire was the simple warmth of love's fire, cause it's cold on the dark side of fame.
Waylon Jennings
Image
I usually enter the studio with a mix of songs that I've been listening to that are relevant to the sound I want to achieve.
Sondre Lerche
Image
He's probably their battle poet, too. You mean he makes up heroic songs about famous battles? No, no. He recites poems that frighten the enemy....When a well-trained gonnagle starts to recite, the enemy's ears explode.
Terry Pratchett
Image
I play piano, by ear. Yes, I write songs... and good ones.
Nina Simone
Image
I think Bruno Mars is a great example of a great voice and classic songwriting with a twist that makes it contemporary. I think he's done a great job of it. I think Katy Perry has undeniable songs for what she does, for that pop market. And, if we're talking in the truly pop market, I would say those two.
Kara DioGuardi
Image
I'm unable to really write the kind of song that doesn't have a visual element, which most songs don't.
Nick Cave
Image
I love fiction. I like reading short stories. Cupcakes, pop songs, Polaroids, and short stories. They all raise and answer questions in a short space. I like Lorrie Moore. Amy Hempel. Tim O'Brien. Raymond Carver. All the heartbreakers.
Laurel Nakadate
Image
Songs like Spirit Carries On really gets the audience moved and on the same page. It's challenging and all so much fun to play.
John Petrucci
Image
There's not one thing in particular that influences my music, but I write about what I know. It's based in personal experience. That's not to say all the songs are biographical, because sometimes it's what I've seen in others' lives.
Holly Golightly
Image
So every time I make a new circuit, a new time around, then I change the show. You can't change the songs people still want to hear Lady Sings the Blues and they still want to hear some of the oldies.
Diana Ross
Image
I do ballads that say what every man wants to say and that every woman wants to hear, or I do songs about social issues.
Kenny Rogers
Image
I wanted to write songs which I think is a different thing. I wanted to write music that is informed by folk music. The chord progressions are obvious references.
Joanna Newsom
Image
The album is a definite departure. I haven't written original material before, except for one song on my first album, but Elvis and I did six songs together on this one.
Diana Krall
Image
You know, it's a pretty mysterious thing still, why you start the songs you start, and the specific flavor of them, the nature of them. I don't know about other writers, but, for me, it's still somewhat out of my control. It's not really a logical process.
Gillian Welch
Image
I'm a beat hoarder. I'll record five songs in a year and I still hoard beats.
Vince Staples
Image
Although I'm a huge fan of Ben Kweller, I don't think I'd cover one of his songs, simply because there's just so much of my own stuff I wanna do.
Juliana Hatfield
Image
When you're No. 1 or No. 300, you still get to play and write the songs.
Patrick Stump
Image
When I'm writing songs, I write visually. When I'm writing the words down and I listen to the melody and the lyrics, I start seeing the video form. And if I can get through a song and from the beginning to the end have the whole video in my mind, I think that's a great song.
Christian Kane
Image
What I always look for in just about any band or artists I sign is their songs.
Seymour Stein

Peter Cooper looks at the world with an artist's eye and a human heart and soul. His songs are the work of an original, creative imagination, alive with humor and heartbreak and irony and intelligence, with truth and beauty in the details. Deep stuff. And they get better every time you listen to them.
