I put together one song, Bonnie Raitt put together a song. Ah, what's his name, the other guitar player? Gatemouth Brown! Yeah, he did a side on Joe Louis Walker.
Ike Turner
That's what we're trying to do -- keep the young Irish-Americans exposed to the music. An Irish song isn't just music, it's history. Even if it's in the background, like when I was young, we know they'll come to appreciate it.
Sheila Hynes
A good lyric sings to me. And another lyricist might sing another lyrical song to me.
Barry Mann
He hasn't had a hit song since 1966 with 'An Old-Fashioned Wedding,' but these days you can't go to many places in Manhattan without bumping into him. We all know his songs, and they are all part of who we are.
David Leopold
'Speed of Sound' demonstrates one side of the album. So we thought we should do a different style of song, a ballad, just to show there are other aspects to the album.
Guy Berryman
The classical song is something that is small. It's more subtle. It's the poem, the singer and pianist putting together a song and interpreting it in their own way.
William Ferguson
You can fill this table up with people who are racist, homophobic, Satanist worshippers, sexist and we can be arguing but if you put on a song, I guarantee that people will stop and listen and that's what I love about music, it can bring people together.
Charles Ives
I wrote that song.
Vince Gill
I'm not preaching. It's just a beautiful song I figured a lot of people could relate to whether they believe in God or not. Everybody has had a time in their life when they needed help with something.
Carrie Underwood
Restraint can be tough. I've made a point to learn how to make a slow song have as much impact as a fast song. That's a challenge I've given myself, because it's easy to just get out there and blast through a bunch of things and feel as though you're exciting the audience. If you can do that with a slow song, then you really have some variety and some range.
John Doe
I didn't want people sitting at the breakfast table breaking out into song. They are at the recording studio and nightclub. The band is in one way or another performing their material.
Des Mcanuff
It's a funny song and a funny video about a very serious topic. A lot of women die at the hands of their husbands.
Natalie Maines
That was the first song I heard from another writer when we first started to listen to outside songs.
Luis Fonsi
It should be beautiful spectacle, ... The song has always had that kind of vibe.
Gaz Coombes
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty! / Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee.
Bishop Heber
We're familiar with the notion of musicians reinterpreting the same song over and over, but we don't ever hear that with comedians.
Paul Provenza
He was easy to work with. We finished that song in one night - a couple of hours. He's a lot of fun.
Mary J. Blige
We were trying to nail this one song, but the feel was all wrong.
Charlie Sexton
When Song was created, it had a lot lower costs and more productivity, ... That gap has closed between Song and Delta.
Paul Matsen
No one knew she could sing until one day in drama class we were working on a musical and she belted a song out. We were all blown away.
Samantha Poplin
Something in life inspires me, ... I have a song on my new record, 'Visions of God,' about my kids and not missing the important moments.
David Phelps
It's kind of like a DJ doing good fades from one song to the next.
Larry Wells
What matters it if they do forget the singer, so they don't forget the song.
Frances Watkins Harper
It's a song, but it's a jam because it's without vocals, that's why I say that.
Shavo Odadjian
If you weren't shooting, you were rehearsing lines or a song or pre-recording a song.
Frankie Avalon
She's just an amazing, compelling performer. She has a wonderful vocal presence and really knows what to do with a song. She'll be fun. I guarantee it.
Keith Lockhart
It's so hard to compete with video games that you have to put on a song-and-dance show. That's what we're doing.
Kathy Kunert
One of our goals is really to refresh and contemporize the Delta experience, ... We're bringing the Song attributes into Delta.
Paul Matsen
It actually says, 'Includes new opening theme song' right on the back of the package, and it's not in microscopic letters. It's bigger than the text description of the season.
Gord Lacey
It's one of those songs that when we play for an audience it's interesting to see people's reactions. What do you think soldiers are? Where do you think they come from? All those soldiers have mothers and fathers. I always like a song that makes people think a bit.
Margo Timmins
Take the Hank Williams' song.
Solomon Burke
In the early '70s he started hitting on that. It may have been because the country was moving into the Bicentennial. It was a pretty strong song and he performed it at almost every show, at the end.
Mike Albert
We fight our way through the massed and leveled collective safe taste of the Top 40, just looking for a little something we can call our own. But when we find it and jam the radio to hear it again it isn't just ours -- it is a link to thousands of others who are sharing it with us. As a matter of a single song this might mean very little; as culture, as a way of life, you can't beat it.
Greil Marcus
I joke around and call it, 'This is My Mortgage,' ... It's fun to have a signature song. I was at a point where I was glad I wasn't singing it anymore, but now I'm having a blast because I've reinvented it. I'm more passionate about this version.
Robert Evan
In the labor camp they use 'The Same Song' to brainwash people.
Huimin Wang
What is this song about?
Mark Romanek
This next song, hopefully, will act as a reminder for you guys.
Dustin Kensrue
The amazing thing about playing live is seeing the way that an audience will interpret a song. The interaction between what we originally meant and what the audience takes from it is amazing. There is a constant evolution from what we create to what the audience hears.
Jason Kish
That kind of validation was nice. It was especially sweet because we didn't do anything within the normal promotion process. It was the song itself.
Lou Barlow
I just try to get inside the song and imagine what comes next.
Jeff Tweedy
I feel like this is more of an open, optimistic record, but there is a theme of mortality that floats through it. For me, I find myself being more obsessed with destinations and endings over the last couple years, even when something is going really well. I like the idea of having a love song about people dying rather than love songs about walking hand in hand down the sand.
Ben Gibbard
He was just thrilled, ... He said, 'Oh my gosh, you want to record that old song? I think I got it up in the attic!'
Brian Setzer
The chance to perform with these guys for such a great cause is something really special, ... Hopefully, people will embrace it in the way it was intended. The song really does fit the sentiment and something special happened when we pulled it together.
Chester Bennington
We love Stewart. He does that song from 'Rawhide,' which is really funny coming from an Englishman. But if you're trying to concentrate and you're under the gun, (his whistling) penetrates in an inescapable way.
Anne Baxter
With every song that I write, I compare it to the Beatles. The thing is, they only got there before me. If I'd been born at the same time as John Lennon, I'd have been up there.
Noel Gallagher
The Clash did a song. Nick Cave did a song. All these blues figures have done songs about him. It's kind of interesting that this man was a nobody.
Colin Nesbit
A song is like a newspaper. It's capable of carrying a number of different messages. Some of them are advertisers, some of them are editorial, some of them are reportage, some of them are sport. So, as a songwriter you can use any of those.
Billy Bragg
I think the best answer to that is that they just aren't sure. Part of the equation is what other people think about a song or a product. We live in a social world where if we were the only person who liked a particular song, and no one else liked it, we ourselves might not like that song too long, either. Other people don't accept it, and that puts pressure on us to try and fit in.
Terry Pettijohn Jr
The response has been tremendous. They are really loving it. It's a great song, and the Stones seem really focused again.
Paul Peterson
A bell's not a bell 'til you ring it A song's not a song 'til you sing it Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay Love isn't love 'til you give it away!
Oscar Hammerstein Ii
She's somewhere in the sunlight strong, / Her tears are in the falling rain, / She calls me in the wind's soft song, / And with the flowers she comes again.
Richard Le Gallienne
I'd rather leave out on a note like that rather than a bad song selection and performance.
Bucky Covington
The Angel Song.
Great White
There are worlds out there where the skies are burning, where the seas asleep, and the rivers dream. People made of smoke, and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice...and somewhere else the tea is getting cold. Come on Ace...we've got work to do!
Doctor Who
This is an opportunity to get the average Joe who's never downloaded a song on his PC, ... At $2.50 (per song), as long as it's easy to do and sounds like CD-quality, I think a lot of people are not going to balk at the $2.50 price point.
Lewis Ward
We talked about everything, about all the demons he'd been battling, some of the low points he'd been to, and I got to thinking that the album needed a real dark song.
Keith Gattis
When she sings, she embodies the song in ways that many singers don't. I thought, 'I bet she can act.' And she can.
Scott Elliot
You can embellish things [that really happened] sometimes and get a line for a song. Some of it's very literal. Some of it's very abstract.
Joel Cadbury
Truth be told a lot of people are just going to be discovering the Jack's record when they hear this, so I kind of made it the winter companion to the summer album, ... Like the record, [the song] is about coming home, but just kind of coming home from a different circumstance.
Andrew Mcmahon
The idea is that instead of going to an online retail site ... and buying a physical CD and having it shipped to you, you actually can buy the song and download the song to your computer hard drive.
Gene Hoffman
Most of the time, reading through treatments, it's like it could be any band, any song -- it doesn't matter that it's you or your song. The ideas are completely disconnected from the music and the image of the band.
Chris Cornell
Steve comes out of left field, he's one of a kind, ... Rob (guitar) contributed greatly to a black metal tone of the song with his guitar parts over the blast beat sections, and Matt with his picking style. Each guy had their own staple on how their parts of the song should go, all of which helped with the overall feel of the song.
Joey Jordison
We really take our music seriously and we take the band very seriously. But we have a lot of personality. So if we're going to write a song about kissing a girl, we're gonna write it. And people think we're a funny band, but we're just realistic, we put our personality into our lyrics.
Tom Delonge
The song was unreleased -- rejected. There should be a voice for music that doesn't get heard.
Matt Jordan
Been approached but Jay has not yet confirmed to be on that song.
Snoop Dogg
It can be regarded as a kind of symphony, or in another way as a kind of opera - or even a horse opera. It is hot music, a poem, a song, a comedy, a farce, and so forth. It is superficial, profound, entertaining, and boring, according to taste. It is a prophecy, a political warning, a cryptogram, a preposterous movie.
Malcolm Lowry
Music is pushing boundaries, and I figure I better do my part. I'd like to get a rapper on a rock song or something crazy like that.
Talan Torriero
We don't actually have Billy Idol in our show. But we do have what you might call a Billy Idol substitute. And the song isn't sung on an airplane -- though we do have an airplane in the show. The final song is sung in a place that's big, really big.
Chad Beguelin
I spent some time this summer at a camp on Lake Michigan. I had the chorus of the song. A lot of the images were from watching the rain fall on Lake Michigan.
Catie Curtis
I know that song writing is probably the most mystical of the things that I do, in a sense that I'm not sure where it came from or how it started. It's something that I just knew how to do. It's something that just happens.
Paul Williams
The first single is the hardest to pick because basically you're trying to express the whole album through one song.
Guy Berryman
On the last day of school, it's the national anthem. On that day, it's the most popular song on the planet. (Laughs.) I become Francis Scott Key for one day.
Alice Cooper
It throws you out. I'm left-handed. It's like writing with my right hand. What you write is going to be completely different. It's just different and I find it's really refreshing. I like to write while actually sitting at the piano, holding my guitar so I can go back and forth in the song while I'm writing. It forces you out of your pattern.
Darden Smith
Most of my songs are about Jesus. Most of my songs are about the idea that there is salvation, and that there is a Savior. But I won't mention his name in a song just to get a cheap play.
Peter Townsend
I not only worked with him, I sang a song with him.
Jerry Nelson
It limits us from being able to sit down and focus on writing a song. It also affects us because we learn a lot from seeing other bands. It's almost like a great deal of research before we write the new material.
Tim Lambesis
If a lot of people independently vote for a song, we are going to call that quality.
Duncan Watts
The popular song is America's greatest ambassador.
Sammy Cahn
That song is best esteemed with which our ears are most acquainted.
Richard Byrd
I never had a customer break out in song before.
John Regan
At the close of the day when the hamlet is still, and mortals the sweets of forgetfulness prove, when naught but the torrent is heard on the hill, and naught but the nightingale's song in the grove.
James Beattie
If the venue and audience felt right, the chances are, we would probably make up a song on the spot.
René Ruiz
We march and fight, to death or on to victory. Our might is right, no traitors shall prevail. Our hearts are steeled against the fiery gates of hell. No shot or shell, can still our mighty song.
George Lincoln Rockwell
I am a black woman/ the music of my song/ some sweet arpeggio of tears/ is written in a minor key/ and I/ can be heard humming in the night/ Can be heard/ humming/ in the night.
Mari Evans
It's not just the song. It's history and culture.
Regina Deke
[Luckily for his audiences, Bennett doesn't tire of singing] I Left My Heart. ... that song made me a world citizen. And when I do it, it always feels like the first time.
Tony Bennett
We still feel there's something intangible that connects all the music. Lots of people, regardless of the song, can hear it and know that it's Gram Rabbit.
Todd Rutherford
Everyone has been telling these great James Taylor stories, and nothing for me says it better than this song.
Carole King
And you know, ... it is pretty much a rallying cry for everything we do. I mean, we may turn those guitars up -- and play hard and loud -- but in the end, we're all about taking country music and setting it on stun. That's what we do, and that's what this song is about.
Kix Brooks
Our lyrics are about a lot of things. They are not very introspective. For example, the song 'Panic Prone' is about drugs, this idea about kids getting drugged up and medicating themselves and whether to help people or not help people at all.
Sam Loeffler
We wanted the horns to have a certain sound. We wanted it to add to the song, instead of blow over it.
Will Anderson
We never gave them a song to express the unadulterated pain and grief which I think many of us feel when these kinds of things happened.
John Weidman
That was the only political song that they've ever written. We figured it was appropriate with the elections. And it's a band called The Presidents, so ... .
Stan Savage
We've been able to have our cake and eat it, too. Every song, every T-shirt, is absolutely a pure expression of what we want to do. And it connects.
Tom Morello
They keep telling us the bus is coming, the bus is coming. It sounds like a bad song.
Rozz Smith
The stuff is surprising. Every song we do now is, like, totally amazing.
Scott Storch
We wanted the first single to be a rock song because a lot of people thought of us as a power-ballad band.
Dale Stewart
It's a different song when everything's wrong, when you're feeling infernally mortal; when it's ten against one, and hope there is none, buck up, little soldier, and chortle.
Robert Service
I take it that some of you people have heard this song before.
George Thorogood
The most important thing I got from philosophy was that there are no answers. There's freedom in knowing that you don't have to know it all ... which is why to me a song should end with a question, not an answer.
Mary Gauthier
That was very ambitious. That's a very well-known song and you changed the melody and did all sorts of unusual things in it, ... That was really kind of cool.
Sass Jordan
If all I do in my life is soothe someone's spirit with a song, then let me do that and I'm happy.
Gladys Knight
The grief sometimes gets so heavy that it's physically hard to breathe. The wound never heals. Little things -- like hearing a certain song on the radio -- just rip the scab right off.
Karla Stauble
I have such a feeling when I hear this girl sing. When she lands a song the right way, with that amazing voice of hers, I sob from my bones.
Andrea Marcovicci
We played pretty much every song we know. It was just one time through and we nailed it.
Arthur Vint
I'm just the instrument for the song to do whatever it's supposed to do-heal, inspire or encourage. It's not all about me, it's about the song. I'm just the lucky girl who gets to sing these songs.
Martina Mcbride
You can expect fast, barreling punk songs. We have alt-country songs. We have a song that combines jazz organ and a marching band type of drum thing going on. We tend to jump around a lot. We would rather not be pigeonholed.
Drew Benton
We had different versions come in and out and (the video) was almost about a beauty pageant, but we wanted to stick closer to the song.
Marti Dodson
MTV don't play music no more, so I don't know if we can do that, but we're going to really try to knock it down with this one, ... It's a great song, it sends a good message. It sends that message to people that you always don't have to be a gun-totin', mean mother ... we're all human beings.
John Cena
It's very hard to teach someone how to write a song if to begin with there's no creative crop to harvest.
Barry Mann
Live well. Sing out, sing loud, and sing often. And God bless the child that's got a song.
Nanci Griffith
The song is about my image of a place that has cropped up in my heart since my childhood, even though I have never been there.
Shinji Tanimura
Requirements for a live audition were that you had to have your dog with you, along with your children. And neither the dog nor the kids could be borrowed. At that point I thought the song was really good, and we had put a lot into it. So driving to New Jersey to perform it was no big deal.
Lisa Riether
Rodgers and Hammerstein, if you can imagine it taking two men to write one song. (when asked "Who wrote 'Some Enchanted Evening'?)
Cole Porter
The song aren't complete without vocals and harmonies.
Michael Lindner
Please listen to this song. This one is called, 'Brother Can You Spare a Dime,'.
George Michael
They have sold over 130 million records worldwide and are credited with having the most successful song catalogue of all time.
The Bee Gees
All these songs represent a true event in our lives. Each song is a slice of real life, that has been affected by the presence of God.
Glenn Hudson
He's out of his mind for basketball, and CBS is using 'R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.' as the theme song for their coverage. This makes total sense.
Bob Merlis
I remember hearing that song around the house, and on the radio and everything, ... Wow, I haven't heard that record in so many years. It's one of my earliest memories of jazz. I believe in things like reincarnation, and it struck a chord someplace in my back lives or something.
Sonny Rollins
They're talking about changing the (Louisiana) state song to helicopter blades flapping and a siren wailing, ... I'd imagine Baton Rouge is even worse to drive in now.
Larry Hill
I think it's fascinating watching performers play a song they love and perform it by using their own arrangements. It's not about replicating the song. It's about playing the song their own way.
David Spelman
Song?, ... The Beatles? Where's my wife? Anyone who thinks this is scripted this morning, this is certainly not scripted.
Cherie Blair
I got this random CD in the mail -- some guy wrote a song about me.
Cat Osterman
He was a wonderful mentor. I learned a lot from Conway - about the recording business, how to act on stage. He was a great song man.
Ronnie Mcdowell
I'm still a cheerleader — on a stretcher or not. So as soon as I heard that fight song, I knew my job and just started to do my thing.
Kristi Yamaoka
He could play a few chords on a keyboard and inspire a whole song. I don't think anyone could play a few notes as magically as Maurice could. Maurice is a part of the history of the Bee Gees, so the music will always have Maurice in it. We've lost Maurice, but we'll never lose his inspiration.
Robin Gibb
We did most things in one take. We never play a song the same way. We're trying to take our music in a more complex direction without taking ourselves too seriously and not having fun.
Jack Jostes
We are sisters. We will always be sisters.Our differences may never go away, but neither, for me, will our song.
Elizabeth Fishel
Words make you think a thought. Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought.
E. Y. Harburg
I learned that if you bring black people together, you bring them together with a song. To this day, I don't understand how people think they can bring anybody together without a song.
Bernice Johnson Reagon
For the record, Chris likes the 'Millennium' song by Robbie Williams.
Rich Robinson
I thought it was really cute, since it talked about Appaloosas, and that's what we are. I like it because it's different than the stuff we usually play. We haven't done bluegrass before. Usually, we play a country song.
Jill Williams
GRAPE, n. Hail noble fruit! -- by Homer sung, Anacreon and Khayyam; Thy praise is ever on the tongue Of better men than I am. The lyre in my hand has never swept, The song I cannot offer: My humbler service pray accept -- I'll help to kill the scoffer. The water-drinkers and the cranks Who load their skins with liquor -- I'll gl.
Ambrose Bierce
It was like a train and it was moving fast and people had to jump on board -- it's been crazy, ... When you're in the Top Ten, you never dream of being No. 1. Eventually, not with your first debut song. When our song hit No. 1, it was like, 'Is this real? Are you guys kidding me?' But it's great.
Nicole Scherzinger
Because of the success of that song, we are getting to play places like California and Florida.
Zona Jones
Singing connected with movements and action is a much more ancient, and, at the same time, more complex phenomenon than is a simple song.
Zoltan Kodaly
Restaurant staff recognized Song, confirming that she was the person who stole the suitcase.
Zhao Jinyi
With this, it was, yes, we were excited about it but it was something new that we hadn't done before being on national TV. You get one shot, one song and that's it. And you're in a room full of screaming girls and we played acoustically and couldn't hear ourselves.
Ethan Mentzer
I think that his performance on that song is a real tribute to Bonham.
Ethan Iverson
In 12 years of playing, I've never been on a team that won a playoff game. That was awesome. They were singing the fight song. Cars were lined up in the grass out there. There must have been a thousand people around.
Ethan Albright
Ha ha, we kicked your (expletive). Sox fans still love that song. They just had a public poll out here as to what song should represent these White Sox. It was our song, from 1977, and it wasn't even close.
Eric Soderholm
Beth has a gift of evoking an emotion with her song that really touches people.
Errol Kolosine
I don't know if it's hit me yet. No, it hasn't hit me yet. When we get together as a team, and sing our team song, it'll hit me. That it was our last home game. That we went from losing in the first round two years in a row, to win two championships two years in a row.
Erika Messam
I wanted to write an antiwar song but didn't want to denigrate the courage of the soldier. There was too much of that 'baby killer' stuff going on.
Eric Bogle
I wanted to write an antiwar song but didn't want to denigrate the courage of the soldier, ... There was too much of that 'baby killer' stuff going on.
Eric Bogle
The stretch pant is a big and well-known segment for us. We chose the song because we wanted to create an upbeat, energetic and fun mood for the spring.
Erica Archambault
Riding Down the Trail to Albuquerque. Everybody in Albuquerque who's over 50 will remember that song.
Enrique Lamadrid
Creatively, it's just fun, to get together with people that I would otherwise be drinking beer with, and just write a song. And it's really nice to just be part of a group of people and not have to carry the whole thing.
Emily Haines
We had to shoot the Last Splash dance scene, and that was the song that was playing. So we probably heard that song about a hundred times, and I got back to L.A. and they asked if I wanted to sing that song.
Emma Roberts
The stakes were definitely higher on that song. We knew it was special because it was so autobiographical, and we had to get it right. And once we had that song done, it freed us up to do the rest of the album without that burden.
Emily Robison
I was angry before. They didn't ask permission. They just decided to do anything they wanted with my father's song.
Elizabeth Nsele
We recorded that really cheap, quick, four-song EP last winter. This album is the first recording we spent money and time on.
Elaine Doty
Performing his work was like having a great song you are inundated with.
Eileen Morris
This song probably has the most memorable melody we've ever recorded. I really like how we're using something so catchy to convey these abstract lyrical ideas I have about songwriting. When I sit down to write a song, I always feel like I'm wading into a river where a nurturing female presence guides me and pushes me along when I need it.
