To summarize, the particular song a male sings, and the behavioral responses of females to song and morphological signals, are not genetically inherited in a fixed manner but are determined by learning early in life.
It's not that I don't love the song. My songs are like my children: some you want around and some you want to send off to college as soon as possible.
My songs tend to be about love. It drives some of the greatest songs. I'm looking forward to seeing what people make of my writing.
When you hear the first five seconds to a song and you've pretty much heard the whole song, that's kind of a bummer.
I always loved that old song 'Banks of the Ohio' - it was always such a man's song, so I've always wanted to record it.
I had so much fun playing songs from 'Based On A True Story...' and getting to see the crowd's reaction to those songs was unforgettable.
I kinda learned to sing singing to Echo and the Bunnymen songs and Smiths songs: Morrissey would be a big favorite.
I'm the guy who wrote The Authority Song. Did they think I was kidding? Did they think it was only a song to entertain?
I want to sing more in Spanish. I want to sing the songs of Granados; the songs of Montsalvatge. To do things that truly I've not done before.
That's the perfect audience: singing along to every word, knowing the songs, appreciating the non-hit songs, stuff like that.
I have about 4 albums of Disney songs, but the embarrassing part is that I know each song word for word, and have dances choreographed for most.
I will not promote other people's songs big time. I will just mention that I produced the song to get the credit I think I deserve.
I would make far more money if every song were my own, but I don't write to fill up the album with my songs.
A bell's not a bell 'til you ring it, A song's not a song 'til you sing it, Love in your heart wasn't put there to stay, Love isn't love 'til you give it away!
My first favorite band that made music important to me was the Beatles. I was a little kid. I didn't know who was singing what song or who wrote what song.
Guys like Otis Blackwell and Bobby Darin, and all the guys who were writing songs for Elvis at the time, just hanging around, writing songs, talking about music.
I think that a song, when it works, never mind a piece of long form music, even a song is something that speaks to itself but has a language all of its own, ideally.
As far as spiritual influences in Christian music, I would say Crystal Lewis - a lot of her songs especially. The ministry she has through her songs has really hit me.
There are some songs where I'll have had the music for 20 years and then finally the lyric will come through. That's not common but it does happen. Then there are other songs that come really quickly.
We stand on our songs and we stand on the songs that we wrote for other people. That gives us a higher platform.
If you write a song, and you go into a restaurant, and there's a guy with a piano singing and he's playing piano, singing your song, or you hear it at a wedding or at an airport... it's fun!
