I love songs that are very autobiographical.
Alanis Morissette

At the end of the day, they're happy if you do the obvious songs towards the end of the set and you've got to try and make yourself happy by doing certain songs at the front end of the set.
Rick Allen

It is a process of discovery. It's being quiet enough and undisturbed enough for a period of time so that the songs can begin to sort of peek out, and you begin to have emotional experiences in a musical way.
James Taylor

Someone told me there was a publisher that could find a good home for my songs, but I didn't want to give up my pursuit of a career in the business as an artist.
Michael Bolton

We play our Irish songs a bit more loosely.
Caroline Corr

I mean, Tool has a style, but we try to make all our songs sound different from each other.
Adam Jones

Sometimes, I write '60s or '80s style pop songs.
Peter Steele

John Lennon and Ringo Starr liked my songs. I used to write songs and they heard me sing songs on stage in London.
Ben Kingsley

In my songs, the sex is all subliminal. It's subliminal, spiritual.
Ziggy Marley

I kept looking to do songs that were written years ago and would live or outlive all of us, and the one thing they had in common was Sinatra.
Michael Bolton

I love Sell Out, I think it's great. I love the jingles. The whole thing as an album is a wonderful piece of work. The cover. Everything about it. It's got humor, great songs, irony.
Roger Daltrey

If part of the purpose of making an album is to get some radio play, then you might as well think about that. But that's not really how we picked the songs.
Mike Gordon

I mean, there are so many of his songs that I like that I could easily do that one day.
Bryan Ferry

Musically, I always allow myself to jump off of cliffs. At least that's what it feels like to me. Whether that's what it actually sounds like might depend on what the listener brings to the songs.
Tori Amos

It's a big flash of all these things and whatever you take out of that statement's one statement, one mind, one statement, one act, one show, and all the songs are one.
Alice Cooper

I don't know that all the demons have been beaten, but I'm very, very proud of those songs.
John Fogerty

For me, I go in and play a few Christian songs for an audience, and now I have people come up and not tell me I'm great, but tell me that my music is helping save their lives, helping them in the Lord, and helping them end their vices.
Rick Derringer

I basically had the idea when I was 18 that I wanted to write my own songs. I knew it was going to be a long, tough road, and I was like, if I just begin now, by the time I'm 40, I'll be good at it.
Jason Mraz

I had deeper, more reflective songs on the first album.
Bubba Sparxxx

My songs are the reflection of how I think and how I feel in that moment. But I'm conscious of the fact that artists have a responsibility before the masses and they have to take care with their words.
Shakira
