The main objective in any song, the songs that I write, has always been that it reflect the way I feel, that it touch me when I'm finished with it, that it moves me, that it can take me along with it and involve me in what its saying.
Neil Diamond

If it can affect me, if it has meaning to me, if I feel I can do it well, I will do it and record it and thats why I recorded these songs.
Neil Diamond

I sang and wrote songs when I was 12 years old.

Sometimes the song title comes with the songs, other times you just sorta make something up afterwards.

I put myself into character for my songs.

Probably some of the songs I never even really listened to the lyrics. Half of them I'd hear off the radio and was probably singing the wrong words and didn't even know it.
Alan Jackson

I could have done a hundred songs, really. It was hard to narrow them down, because I tried to pick songs for the most part that actually did have some effect on me or influenced me in the past.
Alan Jackson

It can get a little costly if you try and leave it until then to write songs. But you're writing all the time. You're collecting songs. I've had songs that have been collected over a two-year period for my next record.
Keith Urban

It's not the case of turning in a bunch of songs and recording the next month. I think you're looking for songs all year long and you're writing all year long.
Keith Urban

He's written some great songs. I thought that "Blues Man" was a perfect song for me to do as a tribute.

My songs are really never titled. Sometimes I call it one thing. then I change it.

I just couldn't get anyone to sing my songs, so I had to sing my own tunes.

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

It's great to be able to get up there now and do an hour or 75 minutes of songs they're familiar with.

It's amazing what some people read into songs.
Richard Thompson

My next record I really just want it to be a collection of great songs, classic songs in a way.

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