You cannot reconcile creativeness with technical achievement. You may be perfect in playing the piano, and not be creative. You may be able to handle color, to put paint on canvas most cleverly, and not be a creative painter...having lost the song, w...
They who want to sing will always find a song.
The bear knows seven songs and they are all about honey.
Outlining is not writing. Coming up with ideas is not writing. Researching is not writing. Creating characters is not writing. Only writing is writing.
Songs and smells will bring you back to a moment in time more than anything else. It's amazing how much can be conjured with a few notes of a song or a solitary whiff of a room. A song you didn't even pay attention to at the time, a place that you di...
Today's marriages become toxic, with resentments, after only a few years. It's one thing to say, 'I forgive,' but most lack the enterprise to do the necessary work that follows. It was the day after that proved who had the wisdom of God and who didn'...

Girl: How come you don't play during daytime? I see you here everyday. Guy: During the daytime people would want to hear songs that they know, just songs that they recognize. I play these song at night or I wouldn't make any money. People wouldn't li...

I can remember back as far as age 8, performing with the Boston Folk Song Society. It was a Woody Guthrie song.
Never believe anything you hear at a woman’s tit.
Wherever the hope of glory lives, hopelessness passes away.
I just want to be loved, is that so wrong?!
The lyrics are different from Nick Cave songs and lyrics. His songs are very narrative.
I've written quite a variety of songs, everything from kids songs to political satire, and my dad covered a fairly large range, also.
He's written some great songs. I thought that 'Blues Man' was a perfect song for me to do as a tribute.
I've never done songs with people just for the sake of the great combination. I've always done songs with friends.
