Strangely, some songs you really don't want to write.
David Bowie
Image
It was really hard to find people to come over and play guitar and sing and write songs together. So that turned me into a songwriter that way, just so I could be able to play with other people.
Jack White
Image
Early summer days are a jubilee time for birds. In the fields, around the house, in the barn, in the woods, in the swamp - everywhere love and songs and nests and eggs.
E. B. White
Image
I wasn't raised to not write about issues, and I'm just living in really politically charged times. You know, I'd rather write songs about girls, but it's just hard to do right now.
Steve Earle
Image
One day I'll wake up and I'll have 10 or 12 songs and think, 'Oh that sounds like it could be a record.
Bryan Adams
Image
I do like writing songs in a band. When it's rock, it's such a different kind of dynamic, obviously.
Colin Hay
Image
I dream crazy vivid dreams. Like, entire movies. And sometimes I write songs about them.
Amy Lee
Image
My songs were influenced not so much by poetry on the page but by poetry being recited by the poets who recited poems with jazz bands.
Bob Dylan
Image
Among the songs I love best were those that I see as historically important, and helped change and develop my taste.
Seymour Stein
Image
Most of the time, particularly with this record, 'The Light of the Sun,' I really just been standing in front of a microphone and blacking out musically, you know. I'd come back a couple hours later and there's six songs from beginning to end, you know? I don't know what I'm going to say. I don't know how I'm going to say it.
Jill Scott
Image
My favorite process is writing, from day one. The songs I have written throughout the years were a real great opportunity for me to communicate, because I think tha'ts my prime objective on this planet.
Gloria Estefan
Image
I'm not claiming divinity. I've never claimed purity of soul. I've never claimed to have the answers to life. I only put out songs and answer questions as honestly as I can. But I still believe in peace, love and understanding.
John Lennon
Image
You do a little more of a record album these days. See I just wanted to put a few songs in Beaches and we did very well. The album of Beaches went gold.
Garry Marshall
Image
People have habits about what they think songs should be like. There's the folky thing of: Poor me, I'm a sensitive person in a cruel world. Or the pop thing of: Hey, look at me, I'm sexy.
Robert Wyatt
Image
Most songs that aren't jump-rope songs, or lullabies, are cautionary tales or goodbye songs and road songs.
Tom Waits
Image
I've never liked songs that are about writing, or struggling to write. Maybe it's because it's too relatable to me.
Courtney Barnett
Image
I talk about things in music that I would never talk about with my best friends, which I think seems like a weird thing, but my justification in my head as to why it's okay is because it's cryptic enough and there's enough meat around it to make it all okay and no one can really prove what any of the songs mean.
Troye Sivan
Image
In songs, you have to tell people about something they didn't see and weren't there for, and you have to do it as if you were.
Bob Dylan
Image
Heartbreak can definitely give you a deeper sensibility for writing songs. I drew on a lot of heartbreak when I was writing my first album, I didn't mean to but I just did.
Adele
Image
Your new CD is a weed plate, nothin' but love songs, 100% pure garbage, just something to break up buds on.
Jadakiss
Image
Songs that don't depend on composition depend instead on performance - so the fire has to be there in the playing.
Brian Eno
Image
You can revisit - the wonderful thing about my job is you can revisit your 22-year-old self or your 24-year-old self any particular night you want. The songs pick up some extra resonance, I hope, but they're still - they're there, and I can revisit that period of my life when I choose. So it's quite a nice experience.
Bruce Springsteen
Image
I sold my soul to the devil in L.A. He said 'sign your name here on the dotted line and your songs they all will play.'
Aaron Lewis
Image
Life's too short to sit through songs you don't love.
Mark Hoppus
