Songs Quotes

I’ve been saying for almost 20 years that I need to do a jazz project and it ought to be either big band or I should do some jazz songs with a trio or quartet Picture Quote #1

I’m just writing songs about how I feel or about how people I know feel Picture Quote #1

I try to make songs visual and tactile to kind of put you into the action Picture Quote #1

I’ve got the luxury to tailor make the songs so I can sing them Picture Quote #1

I never thought of having platinum albums and winning awards. I just wanted to write songs and sing when I started out in the music business Picture Quote #1

Some people try and tell you what the songs are about and it bores me to death Picture Quote #1

If you write 50 songs, you’re bound to write at least a dozen good ones Picture Quote #1

I compose my own stuff. I’ve been writing songs with words. I’ve been playing more on the keyboard because I can transpose it to sheet music on the computer Picture Quote #1

I just know that I love to write songs, and I have for a long time Picture Quote #1

All the songs that were written for that album are just all our first sophomore songs. So they’re all from real life. Very sweet and very innocent. I think the theme of the album probably was just that it was our first record... Back when we were first making records, you didn’t just make the music, you put a great deal of energy into the way it looked, and every word that was written on the whole thing Picture Quote #1

Songwriters I’ve always been drawn to are people who deal with something of depth in the lyric writing... I’ve always been influenced by the folk song, the storytelling tradition in folk music. And so for years I wrote mostly story songs. I still do that, but as I’ve gone on, it’s gotten a little more personal. I used to write mostly in the third person. I write a little more in the first person now Picture Quote #1

It doesn’t matter what songs we sing. I’m a drummer. Chicks dig me Picture Quote #1

I’d always thought that my awkwardness was a thin veil disguising the real me. The me that was funny and could write songs that touched people. The me that would one day find some beautiful, intelligent boy who’d recognize me as his soul mate. The me who was secretly pretty and stylish if only someone would lift the veil and see. But I was beginning to suspect that underneath the awkwardness there was just more awkwardness and not much else. And that would explain why I stood in a room full of people and felt like the loneliest girl in the world Picture Quote #1

Literature is love. I think it went like this: drawings in the cave, sounds in the cave, songs in the cave, songs about us. Later, stories about us. Part of what we always did was have sex and fight about it and break each other’s hearts. I guess there’s other kinds of love too. Great friendships. Working together. But poetry and novels are lists of our devotions. We love the feel of making the marks as the feelings are rising and falling. Living in literature and love is the best thing there is. You’re always home Picture Quote #1

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 thats great when this happens because it shows its striking a chord Picture Quote #1

I’m removed in my real life, and unable to express certain things face to face. So I have always found myself in this fantasy world. That’s why I started writing songs and stories from a very young age. I’d much rather walk around anonymously cooking up tales than face the people that I have known forever Picture Quote #1

It’s a unique thing to stand in front of a crowd and sing your songs Picture Quote #1

When I write songs I think about how it makes people feel, and I hope that when it goes into your ears you feel happy too. Not sexy happy but apple pie happy Picture Quote #1

I am out to sing songs that will prove to you that this is your world and that if it has hit you pretty hard and knocked you for a dozen loops, no matter what color, what size you are, how you are built, I am out to sing the songs that make you take pride in yourself and in your work. And the songs that I sing are made up for the most part by all sorts of folks just about like you Picture Quote #1

This is my life, these are my songs, this is my time and I’m ready Picture Quote #1

I would make far more money if every song were my own, but I don’t write to fill up the album with my songs Picture Quote #1

Pure entertainment is not an egotistical lady singing boring songs onstage for two hours and people in tuxes clapping whether they like it or not. It’s the real performers on the street who can hold people’s attention and keep them from walking away Picture Quote #1

Usually, when you go in to make a record, you have 30 songs, and you record 30 of them, and 12 of them make it to the record Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I’ve ever gone on stage to be an asshole. I know one thing, from the past, and that’s that my intentions always began in a pure way. I really want to just try and play the songs Picture Quote #1

Don’t think. The worst songs I’ve ever written happen when I think Picture Quote #1

I wanted to perform, I wanted to write songs, and I wanted to get lots of chicks Picture Quote #1

Everybody has a line. It doesn’t matter how you’re dressed onstage or what you say in your songs, that doesn’t give anybody the right to invade your personal space Picture Quote #1

I’m always asked if the songs that I write are therapeutic, and my answer is a quick no. In fact, it could be argued that they exacerbate my neurosis Picture Quote #1

I only record songs that touch me in some way, ones that I can relate to Picture Quote #1

I write songs all the time in my room. I play them for my friends and family Picture Quote #1
