Doing a scene truthfully is very similar to doing a song truthfully. They're really parallel.
Chip EstenI like when the song starts to take over and you feel like you have to dance more than write.
Carly Rae JepsenI miss CDs. I miss listening to a whole album, even the lame songs that sometimes grow on you.
Carolyn MacklerI think that I've got some pretty bad reviews on albums or songs that later proved themselves.
Carly SimonI didn't write this song. Someone was talking in a room. I just wrote down everything they said.
Jeff AmentThe Beauty of nature is always singing a song of love to attract you, to kindle your heart.
Debasish MridhaWriting 'February' made me realize that breaking form is a way of letting the song be human.
Dar WilliamsWhen I write a song, it's all about the riff - the riff first, then the words come later.
Evan DandoI would be content if I had nothing but a tape-recorder. I could still write songs and record them.
