Lieder / Songs Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Lieder / Songs:

I would imagine that most of my writing is done spontaneously. I had no intention of writing, and then I'll just walk through the house, and I'll hear this melody, and I'll turn on the tape players and go back to it later on. Some days I'll get 3-5 songs a day. Andrae Crouch

My buddies worked with me for weeks, and I went up to take my test, and started crying because I couldn't remember the words. I can remember songs. If you put it to a melody, I would have sung it to 'em in a minute.

Barry McGuire

I work on words, mostly, toward them being poetry or short stories, and then some of those become songs. They all find their place in the world, but they all start off in the same place. I'm always painting and drawing as well, and it's an ongoing creative assignment.

P. J. Harvey

The kind of vocal exaggeration that I developed was based on what key songs were in.

Robert Plant

I try not to be overly literal. When I'm writing songs, I write down a lot of words, and then I try to simplify it. I like to give people hints or words that make visual pictures for them.

Neko Case

Songs like Reach and S Club Party are pop classics. I'm really proud that I had a part in them.

Rachel Stevens

Well, yeah, I wanted to resist the urge to thicken everything up with instrumentation, because I just felt like I was interested in seeing how the songs did on their own.

Joanna Newsom

I just love going out and playing my brother's songs.

Johnny Van Zant

When I'm in the studio, I'm strictly thinking about the beats, the rhymes and the song. The decision I make once the songs are created, and there's a barcode put on the package, and I'm out there in the street selling it, those decisions as a businessman are different than the creative decisions you make.

Talib Kweli

You hear it in your brain. Whatever makes sense. Some songs work well as quartet songs, sometimes they don't.

Branford Marsalis

But I'm not adverse to the idea of Torch Song as a musical. It would just be different. Because the play will always be there exactly as it was, and in a musical you could tell a lot of the story through songs.

Harvey Fierstein

You can't listen to what people who aren't musical have to say. When Anytime was released, I had bad reviews, and at first I was hurt. Your songs are like your children. You don't want to hear, 'Your kid is ugly.' But I knew the record was good and it would sell.

Brian McKnight

I like to try to keep my music happy because it can make other people happy. And that's the way I feel when I listen to Avicii's songs. I get happy because his melodies are so happy.

Kygo

Nobody thinks mystery writers go around killing people, but they always seem to assume singers are singing about themselves, especially if you write melancholy songs like me.

Del Shannon

Both songs are really, really intense when it comes to performing them, and very draining at the same time.

Deborah Cox

I went along and basically learned a few of the songs they were doing at the time, which were quite a few of the songs we ended up doing on our first album.

John Deacon

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.

Birdy

There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we'd all love one another.

Frank Zappa

Steve produced Girls Grow Up Faster Than Boys and one more. Then he and I wrote a few songs together and became good friends. He was a talented producer.

Jimmy Griffin

If I give myself a chore, for instance, when I was writing the songs for Shameless, I said to myself, Now, every day for 90 days you have to write a song; good, bad or indifferent. So that was really helpful.

Judy Collins

When I finished a song that I thought was good, I thought, I don't know where that came from, so I have no idea if I can do that again. I'm talking like, a hundred and fifty songs down the line. I still feel that.

Trevor Rabin

I'll have to get people to write songs for me right now until my own writing comes around.

Andy Gibb

The invention of Bob Dylan with his guitar belongs in its way to the same kind of tradition of something meant to be heard, as the songs of Homer.

Robert Fitzgerald

We've grown up on the Beach Boys and the Beatles and Blur and Bowie and the Clash. Also E.L.O. and Hall and Oates. Those are all artists who write songs that are accessible but still left of center. It's intelligent pop. There's still something different and complex about it.

Mark Foster

I'm enjoying writing songs that are more stripped back.

Delta Goodrem

Maybe this is wrong, but I feel like I craft my songs carefully enough that I still find that fifteen years after having written one, it still works for me - I'm not cringing.

Ben Folds

When the songs pop out, that's like the climax of us building.

John Otto

I always like story songs, Dolly Parton, Tom T. Hall, Mel Tillis, Red Stegall, when they'd do their story songs. I was totally enthralled.

Reba McEntire

People relate to me, and I try to make songs that make people smile.

Olly Murs

I remember driving the tractor on our farm, and Tim McGraw would be on the radio. I'd find myself walking out of class, singing his songs. And then Tim ended up playing my father in 'Friday Night Lights.' It was surreal.

Garrett Hedlund

At one time musical theater, particularly in the '40s and '50s, was a big source of pop songs. That's how musical theater started, really - it was just a way of linking several pop songs for the stage.

Neil Tennant

A lot of the songs are very rock-oriented. My voice makes them country, and a lot of people think that is a strange combination... I think it creates something different and unique.

Aubrie Sellers

I always enjoyed doing transgender songs.

Patti Smith

I like songs and film because you can turn your life into a sort of myth or dream.

Sean Lennon

I actually started singing those songs six or seven years ago, when I was an opening act for Frank Sinatra.

Pia Zadora

Singing your own songs is all about individual expression.

Lyle Lovett

My songs are just little letters to me.

Ani DiFranco
