My favourite thing in the world, apart from my wife and kids, is writing songs. Ever since I was a kid.
Richard Hawley
Image
Every sorrow suggests a thousand songs and every song recalls a thousand sorrows and so they are infinite in number and all the same.
Marilynne Robinson
Image
In the house of lovers, the music never stops, the walls are made of songs & the floor dances
Rumi

Songs suffer at the mercy of the performer.
Jo Stafford

I worry that if I enjoy something - like the songs on 'Some Nights' are about wondering about who you are. I'm never quite sure and I'd hate to feel sort of content and get a good sense of who I am because if I know one thing, that's not me. I don't mind not necessarily being happy about it. And that's fine.

I think of myself as a singer. The acting is just something I have to do between songs.
Deanna Durbin

You have this mounting aggressive ignorance with the rabbit's foot of their particular religion. You don't really have any kind of spiritual law, just a kind of a rabid mental illness. The songs are a little slice of life.
Joni Mitchell

I said to [Lionel] Richie, Man, my wife says you must really respect women because you write such beautiful love songs.
Miles Davis

I find writing songs hard, because it does not come naturally to me. I never set out to be a songwriter or a singer.
Robert Wyatt

The Song of Love, the Song of Hate, the Songs of Praise and of Thanksgiving I've learned them all, but there remains one called the Melody of Living.

Some of the songs I wanted to be really full, [but] there's something to be said for just a voice and a guitar
Ingrid Michaelson

I am a composer first and foremost, and have always believed that being able to write memorable melodies is what sets musicians apart. My songs bring images to the listener's mind. The object is to transport my listeners to another place, some place sacred and spiritual that will make them glad they took the ride.

There's always that struggle between me wanting to keep [song] new and fresh and then be - I can never get with pop songs being so repetitive.
Andrew Bird

I write songs like The Sweetest Love. Of course I'm a little cheesy. Love is cheesy. Love is corny. But it's also the greatest feeling in the whole world.
Robin Thicke

If I have a song that I feel is really one of my best songs, I like it to have a formal studio recording because I believe that something being officially released on a studio record gives it a certain authority that it doesn't quite have if it comes out on a live album or is just a part of your show, you know.
Bruce Springsteen
Image
I like to make up songs. And it's my opinion that all these songs mean a lot to me, but that doesn't mean I think everything needs to leave the house. If it helps me through my life and doesn't bore anybody in theirs.

I did some songs for Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby. I had done a jazz album of Roxy songs, and they used bits of it in the film. It would be nice to score a movie one day.
Bryan Ferry

People take on the shapes of the songs and the stories that surround them, especially if they don't have their own song.
Neil Gaiman
Image
I don't think there is anything hard at all about having a lot of songs. It makes it easier to be less precious about them, and know that everybody's going to want to work on some of them.
Jeff Tweedy
Image
I wanted to perform, I wanted to write songs, and I wanted to get lots of chicks.
James Taylor
Image
When I played my own songs, I had to do everything myself to get it the right way, but now I think it's interesting to see how it becomes music.
Gustav Ejstes

I wanted to get a guitar [when I was 13] so I could play punk songs because kid taught me power chords at summer camp. He was like, You could play all punk songs if you just learn this chord and just move it around on the guitar.
Ezra Furman

We always feel pretty creative as far as writing songs. We write them together we just get in a room, or on occasion in Flea's garage. We just sort of improvise, like jazz musicians.
Chad Smith
Image
There's a certain power in vague language, but I started to get more into the idea of really trying to have a discrete thought in the lyrics and to have songs that were about stuff - to try to make things more coherent.
