Youth lives on hope, old age on remembrance.
An old man loved is winter with flowers.
Old age is a disease that you die from.
When an old man marries, death laughs.
The most faithful mirror is an old friend.
Songs are dangerous, songs are subversive and can change your life.
When you write a song, a song has longevity.
I've written songs sober and I've written songs high.
A lot of the songs I've recorded are songs I write.
It always has been and always will be the same. The old folk of our grandfathers' young days sang a song bearing exactly the same burden; and the young folk of to-day will drone out precisely similar nonsense for the aggravation of the next generatio...
The way prices are rising, the good old days are last week.
Dead song-birds make a sad meal.
A song is a song and a hit record can change a life.
A song called Never. Which we never play. But it's a great song.
I love songs that are very autobiographical.
I'm singing the music publisher's theme song - it ain't a commercial.
I wear my love like a sweater made out of kitten licks. Weezer wrote about my love with their song, “The Sweater Song.” Cats find that song very cleansing.
My version of 'Georgia' became the state song of Georgia. That was a big thing for me, man. It really touched me. Here is a state that used to lynch people like me suddenly declaring my version of a song as its state song. That is touching.
You know One Direction do a lot of up tempo songs, but when they did that Ed Sheeran song 'Little Things,' that was probably their biggest song off their last album, so it shows you that a ballad never goes out of fashion.
When I'm picking songs for an album I always want a song that I can relate to and that I have experienced. There's nothing worse than watching an artist try and sell a song that isn't believable coming from them.
Unfortunately, most of the songs that I write I don't write them with guitar in mind. I just write it as a song and that was probably one of the ones that left an opening for it. The song's all right, I wouldn't choose to sing it now.
