I started writing songs when I started learning guitar.

Everything comes out in blues music: joy, pain, struggle. Blues is affirmation with absolute elegance. It's about a man and a woman. So the pain and the struggle in the blues is that universal pain that comes from having your heart broken. Most blues songs are not about social statements.
Wynton Marsalis

Since my tour (in Japan) just finished, I started writing songs. I was inspired a lot while on the road and I have a lot to say and feel. I want to process those and write it down on paper and put my hands on the keyboard before they become the past.

Even when I don't think I'm writing, I'm writing. There's some part of my brain geared toward making songs up, and I know it's collecting things and I know when I get a moment to be by myself, that's when they come out.
Jeff Tweedy

Dreams can change histories and songs can alter destinies.
Tiffanie DeBartolo

I just think it's a blessing that I was able to have the gift of words and to be able to put them into music. I was given a great gift all the way around. I didn't ever have to really go out and look for songs, you know.

The one thing I've learned in the last ten years is that successful artists don't get paid to write and sing songs, they get paid for the psychological roller coaster they're going to have to ride. That's the hard work.
Enrique Iglesias
Image
Obviously I got known for some other songs early on, and some of those were rock'n'roll songs. Some of them were melodic pop songs. And I've done lots of different things, as you know, but every so often I get drawn back.
Elvis Costello
Image
I love you more than songs can say, but I can't keep running after yesterday.
John Mayer
Image
I think a lot of men are afraid of pretty things, and I'm not, I like pretty songs.
Justin Townes Earle
Image
I have to feel connected before I record and the song has to spark something inside me. Very few songs do that. I guess it's a good process because I love all of my music.
Britney Spears

As yet, the Negroes themselves do not fully appreciate these old slave songs.
James Weldon Johnson
Image
I like the idea of it as a trickster motif. You know like you're kind of just messing around with people's memories of songs.
DJ Spooky

I was captured by the songs as much as the singer. They grabbed my heart. The reality of Country Music moved me. Even when I was a kid, I liked the sad songs... songs that talked about true life. I recognized this music as a simple plea. It beckoned me.
Harlan Howard

To look for some kind of insight or meaning in pop songs is not really - well there's plenty of other places where you should probably look first before you start looking for it in a pop song.
Jason Newsted

I can't sleep with you tonight, baby, my head's all messed up, you've no idea. It's somewhere else and it's full of voices and songs and bad things.
Hanif Kureishi

I like singing all songs, really, but I find that writing social commentary comes naturally.
Damian Marley

There are some singer-songwriters who start out as poets. So someone like Leonard Cohen wrote and published poetry in the early 60s, but then started writing songs. Bob Dylan's a poet in the sense of bard, aoidos or vates.
Richard F. Thomas

We had various kinds of tape-recorded concerts and popular music. But by the end of the flight what we listened to most was Russian folk songs. We also had recordings of nature sounds: thunder, rain, the singing of birds. We switched them on most frequently of all, and we never grew tired of them. It was as if they returned us to Earth.

Is it possible Hanukkah doesn't inspire folksy songs? Plot lines may be a part. The Christmas story has a lot of material to work with. There's Jesus and his birth, the wise men, their gifts and tons of frankincense.
Matisyahu
Image
He's written some great songs. I thought that Blues Man was a perfect song for me to do as a tribute.
Alan Jackson
Image
There are songs that come free from the blue-eyed grass, from the dust of a thousand country roads. This is one of them.
Robert James Waller
Image
I think the world is ready for some rock 'n' roll. Some real time guys that play their own instruments, write their own songs, and sing the music and have a good time doing it.
Vince Neil

There are many Broadway songs that apply to moments on 'Mad Men,' and I sing them on set all the time.
