A lot of the songs that we're playing live we haven't played in like 20 years.
Mick Mars
Our songs really just tell a story. They're about things people can relate to.
Roger Malinowski
My mother carried on and supported us; her ambition had been to write poetry and songs.
Philip Levine
We experienced a deconstruction of our personal lives. Coming home to a familiar setting and being alien to it created a sense of isolation from the people we're close to. There were all these invisible barriers that were tough to reach through. So we ended up with songs like 'Alone, Jealous, and Stoned,' about how our emotions propel us toward these conflicts and away from the people we love.
Brandon Curtis
Without any good songs or being able to perform or entertain, you wouldn't survive. It's about having an equal balance between things.
Holly Valance
People are faced with too many options, in this case 48 songs. Since you can't listen to all of them, a natural shortcut is to listen to what other people are listening to. I think that's what happens in the real world where there's a tremendous overload of songs.
Matthew Salganik
We write songs about ordinary people, not people that have a certain haircut.
Richard Archer
I would make the mistake of playing [songs] for the other guys, and they would pick the three or four best songs and say, 'Hey, let's make a new CSN or CSNY album!' Five projects later, I finally said, 'No, you can't hear it,'.
Stephen Stills
We might play more intimate songs in an intimate setting.
The Sandman
We're both on the same wavelength, in the sense that he's done other types of records ... a little different from what I do. That's what I wanted from him, to kind of take alternate routes in different songs.
Luis Fonsi
When I was a kid, I found out about Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent through the Beatles and the Stones doing covers of rockabilly songs.
Brian Setzer
This version of the enchanting fairy tale features an expanded script with eight original songs. The kids have created some original characters as well.
Donna Marcinko
They were these songs now considered middle of the road, ... but at the time [they] seemed hip.
Charles Steinberg
I've been in other relationships since Paul. He's been a big part of my life, and he's a very good friend now. But the songs are informed by all my relationships. There are certain lines that are directly about one person or situation, so directly that I'm sure those people recognize it. And that may be why I do this, to get my point across — though not in a mean way.
Paul Thomas Anderson
When I sit down at a piano, I feel what's going on in my life and what led up to it. Certain songs are born from that motivation.
Corey Hart
I like to see that happen, actually, because it shows they're really taking it seriously and just nominating songs to have a certain number there.
Paul Martinetz
We thought about just doing a series of songs on Lincoln's life, but that might be kind of boring and there's almost too much ground to cover. With this, we can keep it at April 1865.
Jason Perry
We were kind of scatterbrained in our early approach, but as we wrote more songs we wanted to make sure we were sonically cohesive.
Aaron Bruno
The fact that we know every show can be downloaded makes it a challenge for us. Most bands play the same 14 songs night after night. Our set lists vary drastically, and we keep a log of every set we've played. We try to make every night a different experience.
Warren Haynes
Both songs were just reactions to what happened down there. You just try to express what happens to you in life, through your music or poetry or whatever.
Fred Leblanc
He was always the first to learn lyrics to new songs, and he remembered everyone's birthdays and anniversaries. That, plus car license numbers. He knew it all. He would always remind us if an important date was coming up.
Tony Ruivivar
He would sing Rent songs to me. He told me how much he really loved musical theatre, which you would never know.
Idina Menzel
This program or programs like it are great platforms for a career, but they don't guarantee any career. Their music, at the end of the day, and where they take their music and the quality of their songs is going to do that.
Nigel Lythgoe
Each of the bands that are being honored are going to play a couple of songs apiece. And I also believe that there's going to be another band that will be doing a 'tribute' to the band that they're friends of. It's going to be terrific I can't wait.
Rob Halford
The very best songs never do terribly but they can only do OK.
Duncan Watts
I went to Joe Henry's house before we went to the studio and sat there on his floor and sang the songs to him and said, 'This is how I'm going to sing them,' and I think he was a little surprised.
Bettye Lavette
Is there an audience for it? I don't know. I don't think it's the audience who bought it originally. But there's a younger audience that might appreciate it. These are good songs.
Herb Alpert
Whether they're jukebox musicals – I hate the term – or new and hip, you gotta pick songs that support the story. If you don't feel for the characters, if you're not worrying about what is going to happen, you're going to fail.
Michael Price
[The new album is a compilation of his favorite covers and old hits, songs that have been] re-worked and re-invented, ... It's really a gift to our true fans, people who have been with us all through the years.
Bruce Hornsby
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
It's not just Appalachian music, like it was a history lesson. We're inspired by the history of the regional music from the Pittsburgh area, but we're writing new folk songs about life now, universal stuff.
Sue Powers
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
They were trying to outdo each other, trying to pump each other up. It was all modern dance mixes. But don't ask me what songs they chose. They each made it abundantly clear that I was no longer in my 20s, because all the music was all quite strange to me. There were no classic-rock numbers.
Good Charlotte
We even incorporated songs which were sung in Israel during World War 2 against Hitler.
Dan Almagor
[Whatever the case may be, there appears to be no bad blood between the two — Apple recently played at Brion's Friday-night residency at Club Largo in Los Angeles and performed a couple of songs from the record.] She re-recorded a bunch of stuff, but whatever, that's her business, ... I remain a fan and think she's great, and she shouldn't have to meet too much resistance.
Jon Brion
Before record stores became Nazi-infested bunkers that were full of people who gave you dirty looks if you picked up a No Doubt record, there was just one section called pop-rock. We all consider it pop-rock because we're playing pop-rock 'n' roll music, which, when it comes right down to it, means catchy songs about girls that you're totally going to be obsessed with.
Ben Clark
A lot of these songs were written for our first album. One of them, 'Shuffle Your Feet,' was from before we were a band even. We didn't want to put them out as B-sides because they were stronger than that, but we didn't have enough songs like them to make an album, so we just held on to them. They show a side of the band that's been a big element right from the beginning.
Peter Hayes
I just feel such freedom to do whatever. If a song's seven minutes or ten minutes long, then so be it - it's that long.
Charlie Daniels
I just tried to come up with some honest songs. What I was writing about was real plain stuff that I wasn't sure was going to be interesting to other people. But I guess it was.
John Prine
Honestly, I don't purposely write dirty songs. To me none of them are dirty; they're all really sweet. They're love songs. They're lust songs.
Chantal Claret
She incorporates comedy and funny songs - it's not the kind of thing you'd typically see at a folk concert, but it's really unique and fun.
Scott Cullen
Here you are doing your show with one finger. That's the truth, too. I can't get over that yet today. All the songs are in front of you. There's no cueing the record, no pushing in the tape or anything.
Dic Youngs
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
I put myself into character for my songs.
Michelle Branch
A lot of Irish people perform. They perform in drawing rooms. They sing songs and they play piano.
Fiona Shaw
[We'll play] a lot more songs that the kids want, and what we have fun playing.
Nick Gigler
I just like simplicity. I like simple songs, I like simple chords, simple vocals, simple lead guitar. I just like simplicity. That's just the way I like it.
Jeremy Spencer
It's fun to stop writing songs for awhile and get out on the road.
Jeffrey Steele
I just want to be known as a good songwriter who wrote songs that were enduring. I hope my music gives people a glimpse of how empathetic we were and how desirous we were of a better society.
Natalie Merchant
I'd like to be remembered as a premier singer of songs, not just a popular act of a given period.
Luther Vandross
It's funny; Luther and I have written many songs together, but we've never written songs in the same room.
Richard Marx
She has taken classes on various ways to create patterns and movements. Our choreography can be quite extensive for some of our songs.
Cindy Laporte
I think it's an important aspect of life that we be able to have that sense of community. I like to see it happen throughout the country. That songs can be written that celebrate the features that people like most about their town.
Fred Siegel
This one is a little bit different. He makes up his own songs.
Tommy Chan
The Celtic people are a highly emotional bunch, as we all know, God bless them. And my songs are based on pure emotion, most of them.
Eric Bogle
It hasn't got the scuzzy rock of the Vaselines, or the more refined scuzzy rock of Eugenius. It comes from writing songs on an acoustic guitar. I bought one again and, playing it in a public place, the songs just started to flow out.
Eugene Kelly
It's not quite done. I'm hoping to finish the last of the songs while I'm down (in South America). I'm bringing my tape machines and all that down. If I can come back and finish the last few songs in January, then it will be out in April or something.
Eddie Vedder
The question has been asked, 'What is a woman?' A woman is a person who makes choices. A woman is a dreamer. A woman is a planner. A woman is a maker, and a molder. A woman is a person who makes choices. A woman builds bridges. A woman makes children and makes cars. A woman writes poetry and songs. A woman is a person who makes choices.
Eleanor Holmes Norton
I sing about political accountability and revisiting ideas about democracy and I also open my heart in my songs.
Ember Swift
Some of the songs I have completely forgotten about. It's a lot of fun to go and revisit them.
Eric Bloom
[Metzger] comes from a rock 'n' roll background. He wanted to expand himself, and Particle is a great place to do it. He brings in his songs and integrates his style, and he expands on it with his guitar.
Eric Gould
We recorded our demo in November and it should be out in a few weeks. You can listen to rough versions of the songs on our website.
Ethan Hampton
There are no bridges in folk songs because the peasants died building them.
Eugene Chadbourne
All I wanted to do was write songs, but all the things I wrote in Detroit, they put them out by different artists.
Eddie Floyd
I will be singing primarily all the songs from the musicals that I have been in from over the years.
Elaine Paige
Everything in the place is hand made, even the songs are hand made. You know these are singer/songwriters.
Elliott Glick
People listen to the music and sense what it is about. Sometimes they know exactly what the songs are about, sometimes they interpret their own meaning to the music, and that's great when this happens because it shows it's striking a chord.
Alex Langwenya
And 10 billion songs per year is a very conservative estimate.
Eric Garland
They both have the epic songs on them.
Evan Davis
I like songs that are so damn catchy that you wake up in the morning with them in your head.
Ethan Mentzer
He was a violinist at Taliesin and I accompanied him. We played tragically older songs; Mr. Wright loved it.
Edgar Tafel
She makes up little songs and dances to help them remember. She's really very good at what she does.
Ellen Korz
When we formed the band in 1970, we set out to try to write great songs like the songs we heard when we were growing up.
Eric Carmen
It's one of my favorite songs.
Eric Parsons
We're really trying hard to bring back this thing with melody and good songs and a different way of doing it than the other pop bands that are out there right now. It doesn't really sound like pop did five years ago. Guitar is back.
Ethan Mentzer
Such vulgar songs are harmful to kids, since most of whom still have difficulties to tell what is good from what is bad.
Zhang Yong
I wish she had been alive to see it. When I was a little girl, I used to lock myself in my room and play her records. Singing her songs is something I had always wanted to do. The tribute was a nice way of showing her how much we admired her.
Elida Reyna
It's not about the horns, it's about the songs.
Emilio Castillo
I'm not into all that pop music. It's convenient because I can store up to 500 songs and listen to what I want, when I want.
