I got tired of playing other people's songs.
Gregg Allman

I don't think about the styles. I write whatever comes out and I use whatever kind of instrumentation works for those songs.
Lenny Kravitz

After that I didn't listen to music as much because '70s music just wasn't... I remember all the songs, but it wasn't because I was into them, you know what I mean?
Tom Araya

I would have to work on the song and figure out how they wanted the song done, because they're such high-intensity songs. We figure that out first, then I go back and listen to it and go over and rehearse stuff with it and try to get a feel for the words.
Tom Araya

That was the reasoning behind learning to play bass, and then after that it was more like it was neat to play songs together - for me to play bass and for him to play guitar.
Tom Araya

If it were bad songs, yeah, I'd speak up, but they're not bad songs.
Tom Araya

While I'm playing baseball, I'm still writing songs and having tapes sent to me. I'm sure I'll spend a lot of time in the whirlpool resting these tired bones, so I'll be thinking of music then.
Garth Brooks

But actually just yesterday we raised the key of one of my songs two steps up, so my voice is obviously responding. It's a muscle, and the more you use it, the more you use it right, the more you should get out of it. So yes, I sing.
Harvey Fierstein

But I'm not adverse to the idea of Torch Song as a musical. It would just be different. Because the play will always be there exactly as it was, and in a musical you could tell a lot of the story through songs.
Harvey Fierstein

A lot of times, I played bass on songs. Gene plays guitar on some songs.
Ace Frehley

I think the fans really wanna hear the songs the way they sound on the record.
Ace Frehley

I'm probably writing music now for the same reason as I started writing songs when I was 14 - to meet women.
Billy Joel

We managed to put together a compilation that had some creativity to it. In the meantime I was listening to the free radio stations and I noticed that during their war coverage they were playing these songs born out of the Vietnam War that were all critical of the soldiers.
Joni Mitchell

You have this mounting aggressive ignorance with the rabbit's foot of their particular religion. You don't really have any kind of spiritual law, just a kind of a rabid mental illness. The songs are a little slice of life.
Joni Mitchell

Senorita was fun to sing, but I don't really have a favorite. When you write a bunch of songs, they're like your babies. You don't pick favorites.
Justin Timberlake

My biggest challenge was to make sure that the songs I did were who I am.
Justin Timberlake

I write most of my own lyrics for my album and I am helping to produce some of the songs as well.
Lindsay Lohan

Social topics may hit too close to home for people, but then again, if you pull a heartstring, then that's what country music is. It's not just songs about getting drunk and leaving your girl.
Kenny Chesney

Puffy produced four of the tracks on the album. Those are the four songs that are collaborations between Puffy and me. And he gives me my space to work even when we work together, like with my producer and my vocal coach.
Jennifer Lopez

I started writing songs at age 15.
Vince Clarke
