I guess I'm the only guy in the world who would listen to those incredibly offensive songs and think, 'Hey, that guy should be making music for kids,' ... But that's what I thought.

Dav Pilkey

We don't do cheesy covers. We cover songs that are ... well-written.

Shane Kiel

It's a challenge to have different writers' songs sound like they belong in the same place.

Jesse Emerson

This is very definitely an opera -- there's no spoken dialogue at all, but because of the use of folk songs, it's a very unique type of performance.

Linda Dobbs

We got together and that first rehearsal we went through 80 percent of our songs. It was great, and we knew he'd work out for us.

Patrick Carrie

You have all kinds of learners. The sign language is to get to visual learners, the songs get to auditory learners, and hands-on activities, where they're touching things, are for the tactile learners.

Denise Mechan

They were just unbelievable, how structured they were and her understanding of music, which is not something you would expect from a pop artist. She had these ideas already in place for songs; all I really had to do was build music around them and develop them. It was quite easy.

Ben Moody

[It influenced the music] in our own little way, just with the Ragtime feel. It's Hip-Hop. It's OutKast. It is what we've been doing for years. Some songs have a little more piano or whatever, but the whole project was a natural progression from a double CD. It was like, where do we go from here?,

Big Boi

Yes, threadbare seem his songs, to lettered ken - they were worn threadbare next the hearts of men.

William Watson

Though it's a tribute to her, ... I'm not sitting there thinking 'How can I do it just like her' when I'm singing these songs.

Linda Eder

You've just got all your songs in one place. I'll pick an MP3 player over a CD player any day of the week.

Jose Ramirez

When we practice we mostly just drink beer and go over some songs. Basically the live shows are where we learn. Every time we play we experiment and get better.

Danny Chaves

It's part of the calling to at least do a few songs in the show that give people some hope. There's so much hurt in this world and ... music is such a great healing balm and a great way to forget your troubles.

Ricky Skaggs

Our goal is to have top- notch performers with top- notch music, not here-today- gone-tomorrow musicians. How long can we take the repetition of what's popular right now? What makes great music possible is the songs.

Charlie Tucker

When I wrote those two songs, I couldn't have been any closer to the bottom.

Don Gibson

The first group of songs which I give, on any program, are songs which I sing to please myself. They represent my musical taste.

John Mccormack

To reminisce with my old friends, a chance to share some memories, and play our songs again.

Ricky Nelson

When you add a really lovely score, it becomes even more timeless. People just remember those songs, and it takes it to a whole other level.

Russell Garrett

It's kind of a groovy record, ... It's almost a little retro. It's not '80s-type fist-in-the-air Sammy Hagar -- well, a couple of songs are always like that because that's where I came from -- but it's almost more '70s rock.

Sammy Hagar

More prestige and opportunity come based on how much popular music the DJ produces. Not many gay DJs get to remix music, let alone produce new songs, and this is why straight DJs have more weight and prestige.

Tony Hayden

[But will there be any party music on future compilations?] President Clinton hasn't picked the songs yet for the subsequent albums, ... but in all likelihood there will be (some R&B and rock included) because he likes a wide variety of music.

Skip Rutherford

I play my old songs but I have to keep playing new ones. That's what keeps you going.

Johnny Rivers

Hopefully it will be a good mix of well-known songs and unknown songs.

Allen Shamblin

Before I went through that situation, and during the time I was in there, I know there were people who were crying with me, people who identified with (my songs). They cried because they knew that what I was going through was unjust.

Gloria Trevi

Nothing much came of that, the songs weren't very mainstream, ... But I learned a lot about songwriting from working with Buck.

Greg Brown

We're going to do some old traditional folk songs. We haven't completely set up a list. We'll play some music from modern Celtic rock bands like the Seven Nations. We'll play a couple of more contemporary Irish tunes that I wouldn't call rock; they're more contemporary ballads. We haven't set it all out yet, but they run the gamut.

Jim Angell

It's a most entertaining way of performing my songs. It's wild.

David Broza

I think this really just gives us more life, even down the road, ... It deepens our catalog to the point where these songs, I think, are really going to grow on our fans and are just going to be fun to play live. And I think it just points us in the right direction.

Julissa Martinez

He's going to come over and play Hank Williams songs.

Mark Mcdaniel

We made the album and when they didn't want to put it out, they didn't give it back to us. I think, morally speaking, that's a definite flaw in the modus operandi of majors. That M.O. doesn't make any allowance for the emotional and moral side -- we wrote these songs, they belong to us.

Matthew Caws

I don't like people telling me what to do, or trying to MAKE me write songs.

Dave Davies

I love entertaining Korean people with traditional songs from Ecuador . It has been an exceptional, new experience for me to perform in Korea and I enjoyed so much.

Jose Gonzales

Every song I write, even if it's fiction, I have to draw from something in my life to connect it with before it rings true, ... Early on in my career, I had points where I felt like I may have run out of ideas. Now I know that if I'm short of ideas, I need to take some time off and let the well fill up ... and live life because that's where the best songs come from.

Allen Shamblin

We imprint and project on songs what we want so that they become more important to us. We imprint intimacy in the songs, give them a narrative separate from and parallel to what the author's intent was. In that way, we make the songs symbolic of our own relationships.

Howard Kramer

The great songs just come out. If it comes quick, just leave it that way.

Marty Robbins

You have to call it a comeback only because Carey's last two albums didn't do as well as her previous ones. But she's always had this amazing voice and she just needed to get the right people to guide her on the songs.

Mimi Valdes

I build the songs up from scratch. Sometimes I start off with just a click, then add a drum beat, bass line and guitar sounds. When I've got the groove going, I'll eventually go into the song and sing it over the top.

Thomas Dolby

I think people buy our records because they finally see three guys that are funny and have personalities but play serious songs about things they can relate to ... Kids say they can relate to what our songs are about. They feel like we're their friends.

Tom Delonge

It seemed like an impossible task to do full justice to all Luther classics. And yet these landmark artists have done just that. Memorable performances of wonderful songs that ensure Luther's legacy will live on forever.

Clive Davis

Practice is important for how we operate, because we're not practicing the actual songs as much as we're practicing the way that we play music. To an extent, we practice being creative.

Andy Parker

I don't know many people who write songs who haven't been touched by him in some way.

Bo Brown

We did two records and cut some good songs, but I don't know why we didn't last. We were insane. We were like, what, 24 years old at the time. We just moved on, I guess, which is the nature of the business.

Lee Rocker

As far as our song list... I think between the two of us knew seven songs... for the whole night... we did a lot of variations on those seven songs.

Bobby Hatfield

I had some songs in that I had wrote, you know, priceless to me.

Darren Benitez

I find the greatest songs in the world come out of pain, and I don't like it! Here's what it does: It strips away all of your facade. It makes you so honest. It's cleansing.

Lionel Richie

It was just a small idea, to write these records and songs that have a concept, ... and at some point create those records in another medium, whether it would be comic books or a novel or something else.

Claudio Sanchez

I'd like to say it's German and they sing German songs on their porch, but it's not true, ... You see ethnic neighborhoods go downhill. This one went uphill.

Fred Schmidt

Cowboy Crush is like the new Dixie Chicks. Their songs are off the charts right now ... Cowboy Crush is the next big thing in country.

Dave Carlisle

The way I choose to show my feelings is through my songs.

Marianne Faithfull

The students write songs of themselves. First they draw paintings about what they feel and see to get to the heart of the poem. It's not an easy poem but they come away liking the poem.

Lee Keylock

She just wanted to be in it. I'm excited. I did the same play when I was in high school. I still remember some of the songs.

Joanne Woodward

It's really the most unified in spirit. Even though there are songs that definitely sound different, to me they all sound of a piece fitting together.

Duncan Coutts

Because we had two songs online (before the album was out), people were already making assumptions about what kind of band we were and what our album was going to sound like. And that's what a lot of the album is about. It's directed at all those kids that talk on message boards.

Ryan Ross

It's going to be an external player, I'm not joking, five songs, and its hopefully going to be out in April.

Andy Nicholson

[The last of the album's 10 songs is] It Don't Take Long, ... Beat's So Lonely.

Charlie Sexton

('Other People's Lives') is my first attempt to make a studio album that's got original songs on it, and it's a completely new adventure for me.

Ray Davies

The people who can really benefit from our songs are the girls in middle America and the only way you can really get through to them is TV.

Brett Anderson

I write songs about real things, ... The subject dictates the mood and it goes from there, really.

John Mayall

We decided to bring back a few songs from the first three records that we haven't done in a really long time.

Torry Castellano

Because we've spent so much time promoting the album, doing radio shows where you play one or two songs, and doing interviews, I'm all about wanting to get on the road and just play.

Rob Thomas

I never for a day gave up listening to the songs of our birds, or watching their peculiar habits, or delineating them in the best way I could.

John James Audubon

That didn't feel quite right. I wanted to do something fresh, to capture the spirit and emotion. When I saw the lineup and the songs and the concept (of the New Orleans Social Club), I knew right away it would be a great show.

Terry Lickona

What's really fun is seeing mothers bringing their daughters to the shows. And the best part is the mothers know they don't have to worry about sexual innuendo in the songs. The shows are family shows.

Peter Noone

When you think of certain sounds and music representing certain communities, you can get into some pretty interesting critical commentary when you put music together. Serendipitously, these songs signify each other.

Wayne Marshall

It's a breath of different air because creative input didn't come from members of Vinyl. The Rondo Brothers came in and just mutated a bunch of our songs. They affected it with dub, tempo, pulled instruments in and out of the mix, sliced and diced, reassembled, and in some cases, giving the song an entirely different feel.

Geoff Vaughan

The band has evolved so much. When we started, we wanted to make as much noise as possible. Now we can sit back and craft songs we really like.

Augie Visocchi

Both of them want to hear and sing songs that mean something to them personally. They have a hard time singing songs they can't relate to. Both are called upon to do that, whether in a movie role or in a show. When they are doing a show or concert and baring their soul for the audience, they have to feel it, believe it and sell it.

Rick King

We've done songs live that I've never played before. We just do it on the spot, and it usually comes off pretty good.

Rob Wyman

It was a major flop, but we'll have the songs forever.

Jeff Buhrman

I still love their music, and I love the way that they still care about their songs, ... They make the songs interesting again.

John Flynn

I think that individually we're all quite strong musicians. We're confident that we're at a level where each of us does just what is necessary to make sure the songs turn out right.

Matt Tong

It's fun. I like singing and making up my own songs about stuff.

Anthony Evans

He has a good method. 30 minutes of theory and a half-hour of playing the songs.

Chip Brown

I listened to Billie Holiday a lot in order to learn to sing. She remains one of the extraordinary jazz singers. But my intent is to become my own voice, to be able to interpret these songs in my own way.

Madeleine Peyroux

Every song is different. Every song comes in a different way. Some songs will come in a day and some will take two years to write.

Jenny Phillips

My services are there for him whenever he needs them. Assuming I'm not on tour - but even then, we can cross paths. I love the Pumpkins , and to play those songs again would be nothing but fun for me. It was a big part of my life.

Melissa Auf Der Maur

Interpretative dances and songs, ranging from rap to jazz to modern, make up the full-length musical, which lasts for an hour and 30 minutes.

Sheila Gamo

We've written some songs that could be played on country stations, even though we don't consider them country songs.

Josh Nielsen

No matter how many times we play these songs live, we don't tire of them. We love that some of them have become a soundtrack to people's lives - that people remember where they were when that song became important to them. Hey, that's the way we feel when we hear an old David Bowie or T.Rex song.

Derrick Allen

I used to write songs so fast like this, like snapping my fingers. Some of them didn't even have a title, for I just did the song.

Ike Turner

My music, my songs are 100 percent inspired by girl power.

Paulina Rubio

I want to be as honest as I can about the things I've been through - the sorrows and joys, victories and defeats - and to use those experiences as a well to draw from. Hopefully, the songs that result from that kind of writing will be songs that mean something to others.

Jim Cole

One of the songs I'm gonna sing is 'We all in the same boat brother. You rock it too far to the right you fall in the waddah, rock it too far to the left you fall in the same waddah, and it's just as wet on both sides.'

Huddie Ledbetter

I am trying to do things and sing songs that I used to sing 30 years ago, and my voice has changed. I can't hit some of the real high notes I used to hit, but it makes you have to explore different avenues.

Roger Daltrey

They have songs about him.

Lornah Kiplagat

I think everyone will agree that my role is really to make sure that practices are running smoothly and focused. I compose all the arrangements for the songs.

Jason Kish

He's one of the most versatile voices I've ever encountered. He's basically a composer's dream because he makes the songs come to life.

David Yackley

The luxury of having a larger budget wasn't about spending $100,000 mixing with fancy Hit Factory mixers to get radio songs. But we knew if something wasn't right, we could afford to go back in the studio.

Ben Gibbard

It's a family instead of a band. Writing songs with the four of us is just something that we love.

Ryan Jordan

Little by little, we're adding some new songs into the repertoire. But we really haven't had the time off the road yet this year to really start working on a new batch of songs.

John Skehan

The songs are inspired by my experiences. Sometimes they are more than my real-life and, conversely, my life is more than just my songs.

Melissa Etheridge

I'm not afraid to go out on a limb, style-wise or with lyrics. I don't ever want to be afraid to cut those types of songs because radio might not play it.

Lee Ann Womack

We've been talking about it for a couple weeks. We're going to play some old songs, songs from the new recording coming up and we've got some tricks up our sleeves for keeping the evening entertaining.

Ken Block

Boy, it feels good, ... You remember the old songs and the little movements and the harmonies. We'll miss a lyric or two, so we work on that.

Robert Vega

He learned through the way that my father and I felt about his songs, his country songs, that they were great songs. And then he went out and sang them for the audiences that we found, and he found a tremendous reaction to that.

Alan Lomax

The songs just sing themselves to me. They kind of write themselves. I just stand back and listen.

Cindy Walker

As much as I'm not a huge fan of the band Kiss, I totally appreciate what they did in creating a show. They wrote these simple, pretty crappy rock songs, but they created this huge image and this huge show. It was like this iconic thing, and I think that's really cool. I think that's something that we've always really appreciated.

Dan Andriano

MP3.com is thrilled to be able to feature selected songs and videos from many of Warner Music's top artists.

Robin Richards

Next thing I knew I had a few of my songs (in the film). (But) my brother is not that generous. He doesn't give me shortcuts to get ahead.

Frank Stallone

There are a lot of songs that I absolutely love what I did.

Bill Wyman

I'm really happy with the way the band's chemistry is flowing right now. We have a bunch of new songs. We wanted to share our studio experience with our fans.

Warren Haynes

We find ourselves in a much better position than we did last year touring because then we had only a certain amount of songs to draw upon, ... When we played for an hour, we had to play almost everything we knew.

Alex Kapranos

It was a different way of making a record. We basically all met in Athens, Georgia, to make this record. A lot of these songs, nobody had ever heard, and we just kind of put them together right there. We were in band camp or something.

Chuck Mead

The songs are stories about something. We like to think they are smart.

Jesse Emerson

If the songs aren't there and you throw a TV set out of the window, who cares?

Vince Neil

Let there be songs to fill the air.

The Grateful Dead

I've listened to their songs and I am looking forward to playing them. They are a good-sounding alternative pop quartet.

Courtney Nelson

We have a lot of fun. We play a lot of rock songs and yes, we're going to dance for you.

Damian Kulash

I like writing songs. I like the camarderie of the and. I like touring. I love playing bass. And then there's free beer.

Keanu Reeves

The songs seem like they are continuing to evolve, they seem like they're continuing to be written.

Graham Colton

I don't get boy bands today. They don't write their own songs, and everything is choreographed from their dance moves on stage to how they have sex with each other after the show.

Blink 182

Writing songs has a therapeutic effect, and it either kills off love or wins the heart of the lover.

Shakira

We nitpicked the hell out of everything. We spent more time nurturing the songs.

Mike Wengren

They're disappointed if you don't do the old songs.

Johnny Mathis

You'll hear my voice on some songs. The world has no idea what they're about to experience--Janet has the best production trio possible--and I guarantee, we will deliver!

Jermaine Dupri

There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we'd all love one another.

Frank Zappa

Right after September 11, we went to England, and I was a mess, ... I was really depressed. ... I came home and settled down and got my head on straight. Before I knew it, I wanted to make another record and I had these songs. I remember saying, 'When did I write this?' ... I had no recollection.

Joe Pernice

I knew Bobby Dylan back in the days when he lived in the village. He used to come and see me and sing songs for me, saying they ought to go into my next collected book on American folk music.

Alan Lomax

I like to do cover songs if I really love them, I have to love the song first.

Paul Taylor

I don't want to mess up my songs. If I didn't end my songs with commercials, I wouldn't know what to say.

Wesley Willis

Songs From the Neighborhood: The Music of Mister Rogers.

Donna Summer

I probably belong to a type of composer of songs who keeps thinking about melody... I am old fashioned.

Toru Takemitsu

We knew that it would take a while to find a new label and put out a new album. We decided to put something out in the meantime, not to win over new fans, but for the fans that we've had over the years. We had all these songs that had never seen the light of day. This CD is something for the super-fans.

Adam Krier

My traditional records are just chosen from my longtime favorite songs. But I have lots of music left in me; I'm just waiting for it to arrive.

Jane Siberry

Things like picking the music are gas. If there's a dispute over two songs we vote on it, and usually we have to have a big group hug afterwards.

Maggie Stapleton

I wanted to make a record where the songs could stand up to the records we loved on the dance floor while keeping the strong and punchy melodies.

Stuart Murdoch

Among all men on the earth bards have a share of honor and reverence, because the muse has taught them songs and loves the race of bards.

Homer

They're about situations I've gone through being in a relationship. You won't hear me write a song about walking on a beach because that isn't what my life has been about. I write songs about what I know and what I know is the ups and downs of relationships. What I know about is what it feels like to hurt and be hurt. What I know about is love.

Keith Sweat

If you listen to all my music, it would say that I'm in a transitional state. It's really going in a different direction right now. The subject matter of the songs is more mature.

Ian Shane Tyler

Y'all have made us so comfortable that we're going to do a couple of new songs.

Lucinda Williams

Everyone pretty much stays on the General Jackson the whole time. We all get on the floor and dance to old songs like Love Shack and The Electric Slide ? these songs bring everyone together to have a good time.

Sarah Lynch

I really didn't intend to sing it, ... It happened like it did with the songs from 'Charlie' and 'Nightmare.' I always cut the songs myself doing all the voices. In 'Charlie,' I didn't count on doing all of them but it just worked out that way.

Danny Elfman

Those songs, those shows, the way she projected them, the way they backed her up, the way they played as a unit, ... was really what captivated people's attention -- the ingenuity of the music, the way they were able to incorporate rap, and disco, and punk, and the girl-group thing, the garage-rock thing, all that stuff into two and three-minute songs.

David Fricke

He was supposed to do two songs, and we couldn't get him off the stage. What he felt was the energy that we re-create. We don't just live this, this is our lifestyle.

Randy Monroe

We had to go through a huge ordeal just to have the label let us in the studio and write the songs. Once we did it, there's trust, but you had to go through so many fights. It's like, they'll let you in the studio once they hear a single and it almost had to be a hit before you even record it.

Shelby Tate

[The performance crystallized a new period of musical exploration for Hendrix.] In the earlier times, when he was with Noel (Redding) and Mitch (Mitchell), the songs were very simple, ... The simplicity of the 'Foxey Lady's' and the 'Purple Haze's' now went into some pretty intricate things, like 'Jam Back at the House' and then later the 'Freedom's', the 'Dolly Dagger's,' and 'In from the Storm.'

Billy Cox

The songs on my first album were such that I started really high and by the time we reached the chorus, I had to use falsetto. This time, I focused on my vocal performance. I would say that the songs are more accessible to all levels of society.

Janji Vince

Once, when I got some of the songs back from him, it was around Christmas time, and it was the best Christmas present I could have wished for -- really, really exciting.

Isobel Campbell

For me, it has always been about the songs.

Bill Henderson

Some songs are just like tattoos for your brain... you hear them and they're affixed to you.

Carlos Santana

It's just, you gotta pay your dues if you want to sing the blues. Not that I've never paid dues in my life, but I just paid a lot in the last couple of years. What can I say? It just gives your songs a whole lot more legitimacy. Or it causes you to write better songs or something, I don't know.

Frank Black

This is a pretty introspective record. There are a lot [more] questions about growing older, responsibility and doubt than there are declarations and answers. I think this is cohesively the best batch of songs we've ever put together.

Nick Harmer

We had used keyboards, or backing tracks, to accompany those songs that had orchestration, but it was never satisfactory, ... Finally, the light bulb went on. It was time to try this thing myself.

Jim Owens

I hope more sound, elated songs will be written, so that we can grow up happy and contented in a world of children's lovely songs.

Li Ruoyu

I like all their songs.

Matthew Killion

I don't think it was a conscious decision. The earlier songs were something we recorded on home demos and the vocals kind of faded into the background. The new songs are professionally recorded.

Milton Banerjee

There are still the classic four-part harmony barbershop songs, but it's really evolved into adaptable music for today. When we perform, we do contemporary arrangements of popular songs, some doo-wop, some Sinatra tunes and, yes, some classic barbershop, too.

Jonny Moroni

His one-of-a-kind voice and ethereal songs set him apart from all of his contemporaries and made for a diverse set of followers.

Howard Kramer

A Minor is one of my all-time favorite keys to play in. It's a very moody key, and also 'A' is the first letter of my name. It just represents the songs through my eyes.

Alicia Keys

The song's bangin' and it's one of my favorite songs I've ever sung. Really, it's just cool that, after so many years and all the heartache, the horror stories, the headaches and the bullsh--, I'm at such peace in my life right now, and it's pretty cool I'm on a Roadrunner record again.

Joey Jordison

They are songs that probe, ... They're not position papers. They're statements about the human condition in a way. . . . It captures something beyond 'I'm right and you're wrong.' .

Anthony Decurtis

To just plug songs in wouldn't really help the storytelling.

Chad Beguelin

It was a musical journey of the United States. We played parts of 'Oklahoma!,' 'Meet Me in St. Louis' and 'New York, New York,' along with about 30 other songs.

David Stahl

There was always a dark element to our songs, some social commentary.

Marc Almond

The four covers we play we have rewritten to our own style. We could play all covers and mix in some original songs so that we could get shows, but we'd rather not. We want to play the music we want, not (necessarily) what the audience wants.

Jarrad Woliver

Musical theatre. The show features 15 feel-good songs celebrating the trials and tribulations of being naked.

Mark Hooker

I knew, because I knew the songs, that this album was going to be phenomenal.

Jon Landau

We sing a variety of songs many people already know, songs like 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight,' 'Carolina in the Morning,' 'Get Happy' and many more, all written and adapted to our style of singing.

Janet Kushmerek

My songs form a kind of biography or diary of my life as they are about people I have loved and people I only knew in my heart, places I have seen only for a moment and places I have lived all my life.

Justin Hayward

Time After Time/Dodsworth: New Songs from New Musicals.

Liz Callaway

I've heard the songs before. This is real music. The music nowadays is often a rip-off from that era.

Justin Begle

The songs are really personal. They're really honest, even if they're sometimes unpleasant. The lyrics evoke so many emotions. Our analogies are visual and the metaphors are direct. Corin and Carrie are singing about things they care about. I feel it.

Janet Weiss

This is an album that reflects our past, but it's very much about the present, ... This isn't about nostalgia — we're singing these songs here and now, and doing them our way.

Daryl Hall

We sang songs and chatted to make the time go by. Lots of people wore headphones. Some couples brought their dogs. It was fun.

Shana Provost

Our songs mean a lot to us. Each lyric is real.

Bryan Randall

For (Far Away Blues) I wrote a bunch of half songs on the piano and the guitar, and then I had kind of theme going because I had it in mind who I wanted to have on the CD. And that was my grandfather, so I had kind of a family theme going. It's different for everything I do.

Adam Carroll

The hook is the sweet spot, the easily remembered melody or rhythm figure. Beatles songs are packed with hooks . A hook is similar to a riff , which is instrumental, while a hook can be played or sung.

Joe Levy

The mark of a good musical is songs that leave the audience humming as they leave the theater, and this certainly has that.

John Olive

But when Brian committed them to the picture and he said that they would provide new songs, they said, "Well, we're not going to write any decent songs, we'll give them all the rejects we didn't really want."

George Martin

A couple of people brought their kids. We didn't get into drinking songs, but we did some grown-up music.

Dan Zanes

We're pretty good at that, playing name that tune. Joe gets all the rap songs. I get all the alternative stuff.

Justin Morneau

I cannot sing the old songs now! / It is not that I deem them low; / 'Tis that I can't remember how / They go.

C. S. Calverley

The Rolling Stones thought the censorship of their songs by the NFL/ABC was absolutely ridiculous and completely unnecessary.

Fran Curtis

The record company isn't really even looking for Christian songs. They're just looking for talent. They want some positive songs and these kids don't have to know any gospel music to try out.

Anthony Martinez

My kids, I have a 19-year-old and a 12-year-old, they think their dad is cool now. For me, that is the good thermometer. My kids' friends, they come to the house, and they ask, 'Who is that?' And they say, 'It's my dad!' Some of them never heard these songs. For them, it's all new. That's the beauty of this project.

Sergio Mendes

Feeling great. Feeling good. Well, I hope they remember the songs. We'll do a bunch of 'em, try to get them out of the way, and then we'll work on the tourists after that.

Brandon Hogan

These aren't my songs. My intention wasn't to make them Martina McBride songs.

Martina Mcbride

The songs were very popular; sometimes people who didn't even support a candidate would know all the words and join in.

Oscar Brand

If I Were A Bell: The songs of Frank Loesser.

Andrea Marcovicci

We're all getting older. We should, the three of us, be playing these songs because, hey, the end is always near. Morrison was a poet, and above all, a poet wants his words heard.

Ray Manzarek

All my songs are where I am.

Adam Duritz

Well, I would sit on the bed with my guitar, write these really personal songs, and then take them around the world.

Stephan Jenkins

Hey, that's how we learned the traps, learned how to write good songs.

Justin Baren

We have played hymns and songs that people know like ?The Star-Spangled Banner? or ?Battle Hymn of the Republic.? Sometimes people like to sing along.

Brooks Yang

XM is unique because we have hundreds of programmers delivering millions of songs plus live news, live sports and talk directly to subscribers.

Chance Patterson

Most everything on it is real new. Lord knows I've got a backlog of songs, but when we went into the studio I pretty much ignored it. Everything else we've written since we started recording.

Patterson Hood

Throughout history, the leaders of countries have been very particular of what songs should be sung. We know the power of songs.

Pete Seeger

Europeans love American spirituals and folk songs. We also pick folks songs in Spanish that show the connections between cultures related to Spain.

Laura Lane

Songs won't save the planet, but neither will books or speeches. Songs are sneaky things; they can slip across borders.

Pete Seeger

A lot of the kids coming here for this have never studied written music. They've learned to play guitar and write songs, but if I asked them to play a C7 chord with a flatted 9th, most of them wouldn't know how. At the end of one year, they will.

Norbert Putnam

We're pretty kid-friendly. With the pure kids' shows, all the songs are up-tempo. We keep it moving.

Doug Green

Even though my songs may sound very personal, to me most of them are fiction. It is a great way for me to be able to live a fantasy life as a writer because I get to be someone else, someplace else for three and a half minutes, just like the listener.

Nanci Griffith

On a creative level, I think the songs are simpler in that they're more direct. To be commercially successful just means [your music] has reached more people, which I suppose is a good thing.

Alison Goldfrapp

This music is like an old friend, one for whom you will always feel a kinship and closeness. When people hear this recording they will understand more clearly the roots of our original songs and perhaps have a bit more insight into where they really came from.

John Oates

Songs don't last that long, but as an anthem, this could be around for a while.

Chris Curtice

These are catchy songs the kids will take to their math class and remember what three times four is.

Tara Fisher

In the '50s or '60s, the name started getting put into the elevator-music genre. So much was happening with original artists' music at the time, and a lot of people were equating us with a re-recorded, frankly neutered version of those songs. They didn't like it at all, and we started getting a bad brand connotation. It's something we're always going to have to deal with.

Karen Vigeland

A lot of it (Leader) is about situations that led her to write these songs.

Susan Stanley

The weather was not favorable for birding. The winds were very heavy, 25 to 30 miles per hour. That keeps the birds below cover and you can't hear their songs.

Thomas Lipsky

Even church songs, it's Johnny Cash singing.
