Every song I've ever written has been based in reality, based in fact, things that happen to me.
Ne-YoWe all know the types who listen to Pete Seeger songs; even Pete admits they aren't interesting.
P. J. O'RourkeWhen I began making my own albums, the songs became funkier. They were more about the streets.
Paul SimonThere's some songs you can cover, and I've covered and butchered a few, but you can't do them all.
Rick AstleyIf you look at the charts every year, there may be five or ten memorable songs from each year.
Randy JacksonThere's nothing stupider than bursting into song for seven seconds and then falling silent again.
Richard MorrisAnd I can say this, most of the people who have recorded my songs are songwriters themselves.
Smokey RobinsonA song is the exultation of the mind dwelling on eternal things, bursting forth in the voice.
Thomas Aquinas
