It's not like we did something wrong. We just burned down the church while the choir within sang religious songs.
Alice Cooper
Image
They should invent some way to tape-record your dreams. I've written songs in my dreams that were Beatles songs. Then I'd wake up and they'd be gone.
Alice Cooper

Quit shouting those rerun songs at me.

My family was musical on both sides. My father’s family had a famous flautist and a classical pianist. My mother won a contest to be Shirley Temple’s double — she was the diva of the family. At 8, I learned how to play guitar. I used to play songs from the ‘20s, ‘30s and ‘40s in the kitchen for my grandmother.
Gloria Estefan

History shows that all protest movements rely on symbols - boycotts, strikes, sit-ins, flags, songs. Symbolic action on whatever scale - from the Montgomery Bus Boycott to wearing a simple wristband - is designed to disrupt our everyday complacency and force people to think.

Listening to my songs is like reading my diary.
Taylor Swift

In one of my songs, in the song on the Why? remix that I did with Jadakiss in 2004, I said, Why is Bush actin' like they tryin' to get Osama? Why don't we impeach him and elect Obama? This is in 2004 on the Why? remix and I said that because I really had belief that Obama was the right person to be president

Whether the issue was black political power or nuclear power, Scott-Heron didn't mince words. His comeback record, I'm New Here, doesn't mince words either, but instead of political battles, these songs suggest he's fighting personal ones.

Adele Adkins' retro-soul debut, '19', was striking less for her songs than for that voice: a voluptuous, slightly parched alto that swooped and fluttered like a Dusty Springfield student trying to upstage her teacher, or at least update the rules.

I look for something universal in songs rather than something personal. I look for something that will give us a platform for live improvisation.

A record is something that isn't real or true. It's like cinema. It's a construction of something hyper-real and surreal and unreal all at the same time. You make a space that doesn't really exist. One of the big joys of being in this line of work is building the recorded versions of the songs.
Will Oldham

The most despairing songs are the most beautiful, and I know some immortal ones that are pure tears.
Alfred de Musset
Image
The less people present in an urgent situation that a moderately high stakes recording session can create - the less people there are in the room - the more openness there can be. These songs share that as well, in addition to just the obvious, basic starkness.
Will Oldham
Image
I make the songs and part of making them is singing them. But what you hear is not me. It's the song. It's through me.
Will Oldham

I do not want a personal relationship with my fans. Or to do anything that encourages them to think they have one with me. They can have a personal relationship with my songs. That's fine, but they don't know me.
Will Oldham

If you will show me the songs which a people or a community sing, then I will tell you the character of that community.

I was never a kid who dreamt of being a performer. I started singing the songs because nobody knew who I was or cared at all. If I wasn't going to sing them, nobody was going to sing them, so I had to step in and fill that role myself.

The Medicine Man, taking his music with him, is passing quietly into the Great Silence, where the old songs were Received in Dreams by inner-plane communication.
Frances Densmore

I was the boy who liked to sing his own songs at talent shows, and I was suddenly officially uncool.
Josh Groban
Image
I write songs so that people can make them into what it means to them as well.

We played more rock music when we were writing the script. 'Renegade'. All of the Styx songs. All of the old '70's and '80's music, that's the stuff that's pounding in the background while we were doing this stuff. It's a part of those movies.

And I made a rural pen, And I stained the water clear, And I wrote my happy songs Every Child may joy to hear.
William Blake

I like songs that sound like classics. There are songs that might be cooler or have better production, but I like songs that sound like they're timeless.

DJing for people is fun until someone comes up with a phone screen that has 'PLAY SOME RIHANNA' written on it. I prefer to play older songs because they're the ones I personally enjoy dancing and singing along to and modern dance music bores my brains out.
