I can't remember writing any of the songs that I've written.
If you write songs you have an idea how they're going to sound.
I write my own songs, and I only see their flaws.
There's always a special feeling I have while writing any song.
Interestingly, songs used to be short, then they became longer, and now they're getting shorter.
The goal is to try and make the perfect song. Which of course will never happen.
Silence is more musical than any song.
I always sang standards because the songs I wrote for myself weren't as easy to sing.
I'm still more comfortable with standards than with my own songs.
I go through a thousand songs to find ten for a new record.
Songs are memories... Either u smile or get a tear in your eyes..
Any Michael Jackson song will make any dancer go nuts.
Never hate a song that's sold a half million copies.
I've played the guitar since I was 12, and just taught myself songs chord by chord.
It wasn't my natural inclination to get into writing protest songs.
The very first song I wrote was about a boy that I was obsessed with.
The way I see it, there's only one melody for any song.
I understand what songs like 'Mr Brightside' mean to people. They will last forever.
I grew up listening to the Police, I grew up performing in bars, singing Police songs.
If I get an idea for a song, I have a melody for it. I'm a musician first. I'm not limited by the fretboard.
I'd written songs with lots of people, from one spectrum to the other.
