My approach is to be part of a band that makes music, not hit songs.
I tend to score with songs from Western pop music.
A song without music is a lot like H2 without the O.
I've been interested in music since I was a teenager, always writing songs.
I'll refer to my music in color, like 'This song needs to be bright red.'
I like Fisher Price music, nursery rhymes, and the alphabet song.
Three chords and the truth - that's what a country song is.
What's the point of a song if you can't be honest?
People used to say poems were different to songs but I don't think they are.
I'm not someone who can dance to a song I don't like.
There is a lot of melody and things that sound familiar in hundreds of songs.
I realized at a young age that sequence in an album is almost as important as the songs that are on the album.
I think that... the age of just slapping songs into movies, that's done.
In 29 years, I had recorded over 2,200 songs. I was amazed.
Considering the amount of information we're bombarded by, it's amazing if a song can transcend time.
To sing a song is like whispering to a child's ear. It is an art heavily relying on improvisation.
There is nothing in the world of art like the songs mother used to sing.
But in the finished art of the song the use of words has no connection with the use of words in poetry.
But the book! The siren song of the book!
It is the best of all trades, to make songs, and the second best to sing them.
It's the best marriage of songs and production. But I have to say, I have an affinity for Bossanova.
