You're a song written by the hands of God.
Shakira

Not every song I write is ecstasy. And it can happen only one time. After that, when you sing the same melody and words, it's pleasure, but you don't get wiped out.
Paul Simon

Once at the White House I was asked to conduct the Drum and Bugle Corp. The man just handed me the baton and I finished the song. It was great. I got to keep the baton.
Dom DeLuise

We had our unhappy moments but they got channelled into the kind of sadness that was necessary for singing a song about going nowhere. So it worked out very well I think.
Tina Weymouth

When I'm writing a song, it gives me more actual pleasure to hear someone else sing it than do it meself.
Shane MacGowan

If a song's about something I've experienced or that could've happened to me it's good. But if it's alien to me, I couldn't lend anything to it. Because that's what soul is all about.
Aretha Franklin

The video forum for me has been a source of great consternation because once you start projecting a look to a song, it robs the listener of their ability to adopt that song and make the lyric their own.
Sheryl Crow

A song that sounds simple is just not that easy to write. One of the objectives of this record was to try and write melodies that continue to resonate.
Sheryl Crow

Beck said he didn't believe in the theory of a song coming through you as if you were an open vessel. I agree with him to a certain extent.
Sheryl Crow

I don't set goals for myself too much, but I'm always trying to write that one great song.
Sheryl Crow

I have yet to write that one song that defines my career.
Sheryl Crow

A lot of Woody Guthrie's songs were taken from other songs. He would rework the melody and lyrics, and all of a sudden it was a Woody Guthrie song.
John Mellencamp

I'm the guy who wrote The Authority Song. Did they think I was kidding? Did they think it was only a song to entertain?
John Mellencamp

In so many musicals today, the story is moved forward by a song. I don't think we're gonna try to do that.
John Mellencamp

I think a good song is a good song is a good song.
Tim Finn

Inspiration is enough to give expression to the tone in singing, especially when the song is without words.
Franz Liszt

In Hungary all native music, in its origin, is divided naturally into melody destined for song or melody for the dance.
Franz Liszt

I'm still proud of what I've done, even if it hasn't been the biggest song on the radio or hasn't gone to number one.
Faith Hill

The song This Kiss was definitely my breakthrough song. After that, Breathe was my breakthrough album.
Faith Hill

You've got to really know your song, inside and out.
Nick Lowe
