I don't want to do children's music. I write kids songs, but the kids songs I write are for my kids - like when I'm putting them to bed. We sing some song that we made up but I don't want to make a record like that.

You have to live what you write, or you have to know it. There are exceptions, like story songs, where you just have to have your facts straight. But I think you don't have to live a hard life to be a good or interesting songwriter.

When you look into the eyes of your people out there that came to see you, that's when it's like, 'Yep, this is what it's all about.' This is why we don't sleep, and this is why we write songs and try to be the best. This moment right here onstage.
Luke Bryan

I never write a tune before the lyrics. I get the lyrics and then I write around them. Some people write music and the lyrics come along and they say, 'Oh yeah, I've got something to fit that.' If that's the way people write songs, I feel like you might as well just go to the supermarket.
James Dean Bradfield
Image
I realized that I started writing songs to make people feel how I felt, rather than just making them feel something. That's not the way I should do things.
Marilyn Manson

There are songs and artists now who are trying to do the same thing: be honest to their experiences.
Erik Parker

It's not about battling the original artists when I record these songs, it's about paying tribute to them.
Etta James

I think being a singer-songwriter... your job is to tell a story that other people can't really tell themselves. And I really hope that people kinda go: This happened once and I kind of like this song because I relate to it... So if at least one of my songs over this tour's that song, then that's really cool.

I relate to all of my songs and I'm inspired by everything going on around me. Music comes from all different aspects of my life.
Vanessa Hudgens
Image
I've been singing Shakira songs in front of my bathroom mirror into my hairbrush forever. It's like a daily routine.
Taylor Swift
Image
I'm always flattered and honored when people cover my music or sing my songs, no matter where it is.
Amos Lee

I can't play my songs on the smaller harp. I have a Celtic harp. I can't do the key changes.
Joanna Newsom
Image
I always prefer to write songs about emotional situations and heartbreak because I like getting into the character.
Pixie Lott
Image
I think that if you listen to the same exact genre of music that you play, it is so easy to be influenced by it. There will be times where we are writing a song, and then realize that it songs like something we just heard on the radio. There was a while when we were writing, that I didn't listen to music because I didn't want to be influenced.
Taylor Jardine

Everyone knows almost everything about me. I make it very clear that I'm cool with people knowing all my personal life through my songs.
Ed Sheeran
Image
People naturally change a lot during their 20s, so my songs reflect that progression.
Miranda Lambert

Love Songs Now: Fewer broken hearts, more sexual misery.
Mason Cooley
Image
For me, I want to create a environment for the songs to live in. So one song by itself only tells a piece of the story, but in the context of the album, more of the colors are revealed.
Jon Foreman

I know my own limitations. And if somebody says, I need songs for a cartoon garage band - they look like this and they should sound like this, it gives you a direction. I like having that kind of assignment.
Beck
Image
I want my songs to be heard by everyone. I want [everyone] to treat people with compassion. I want them to realize that we are all so similar, but we focus so much on our differences.
Joshua Radin
Image
My job is to write songs that have emotional meaning to me.
Branford Marsalis
Image
Why do they cover Paul's songs but never mine?
Yoko Ono

Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams. All of them are different styles, but those are the songs that make the times. They're the songs that last through time.
Dolly Parton
Image
I've always said I write albums I don't write random songs and then sort them out.
