Liedermacher / Songwriter Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Liedermacher / Songwriter:

I don't really like to call myself a brand, and I don't like to think of myself as a brand. I'm a singer, a songwriter, a musician and a performer. And an actress, and all the other things that I do. When you add it all together, some might call it a brand, but that's not my focus. Beyonce Knowles

You know, he likes me because I'm his son. I have to go long and far to find someone who knows me just as me, rather than me the songwriter or whatever.

Paul Westerberg

'Clown' was written when I couldn't find anyone who believed in me as an artist. Maybe those labels will think twice next time a young songwriter comes along.

Emeli Sande

As a songwriter, I was influenced by David Bowie - a great writer. A class above everybody in so many ways. Lennon and McCartney, of course. Class stuff. David Cousins was my favorite lyricist.

Rick Wakeman

Well, as a songwriter, it's really dangerous to use the word love in a song. It's a word that has been used in songs so many millions of times before, and it's the most popular topic to ever write about.

Jack White

I never thought of myself as a performer or songwriter or singer.

Sam Hunt

'Marvin Gaye' came about my first day in L.A. It was kind of crazy that that's my first song that I wrote and it blew up that much. What's crazy is the next day I wrote 'See You Again,' so that's pretty interesting. I was trying to prove myself as a songwriter.

Charlie Puth

I honestly don't class myself as a songwriter. I've got 'musician' written on my passport. That's even funnier.

Robert Smith

I built a reputation as a songwriter in the industry before my own hits. People were used to coming to me for songs. There were songs like 'Clown' and 'Mountains' that were my songs that I wanted to keep. But the record labels saw me as a songwriter. It was hard to get people to believe in me as an artist.

Emeli Sande

I love music, so if I wasn't singing, I would probably still be working in the music industry. I love songwriting, so I'd probably be a songwriter.

Trey Songz

My brother is an excellent songwriter, and I play guitar and drums.

Jeremy London

People say, 'How does having kids change your writing? Do you see the world through their eyes?' No - you just become a faster songwriter... In the old days, you'd be like, 'Oh I'm gonna work on this song for a few days.'

Eddie Vedder

I've spent most of my life playing with Tom Petty, and he's a damn good songwriter.

Benmont Tench

Rap ain't out there for everybody; everybody can't be a rapper. Everybody can't be a singer; anybody can't just be a songwriter, but it may - there's some profession out there you can be in.

Juicy J

As a musician and a songwriter, it is an act of the ego to believe that other people might be interested in your point of view. But it is usually an empathetic nature that gets you going in the first place.

Bono

As a songwriter, oddly enough, my influences were people like Bob Dylan, The Velvet Underground, and Buddy Holly. Some psychedelic stuff, too.

Ric Ocasek

A songwriter should have friends who are similarly interested; should move about in the milieu of work he has chosen for himself.

Dorothy Fields

Townes Van Zandt is the best songwriter in the whole world, and I'll stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that.

Steve Earle

You have to live what you write, or you have to know it. There are exceptions, like story songs, where you just have to have your facts straight. But I think you don't have to live a hard life to be a good or interesting songwriter.

Justin Townes Earle

My number-one goal is to never feel like I'm strictly defining myself. The minute I feel like I'm doing that as anything - as theatrical, as feminist, as songwriter - I feel like the minute I name it, I'm stuck in a box.

Amanda Palmer

A young songwriter shouldn't think he or she doesn't stand a chance because someone has big corporate people behind him. Never look at it like that.

Ronald Isley

I'm a songwriter. Everything affects me.

Taylor Swift

As a songwriter, I'm not necessarily writing about myself or my life.

Ben Gibbard

You have to face the fact that I have no reputation as a composer; I have my reputation as a songwriter and a performer-and that opportunity came this summer, when I was invited to perform at the Lincoln Centre festival in New York... three nights.

Elvis Costello

Drake is a lyrical genius, and he's great with melodies, and Pharrell is an amazing producer and songwriter.

Justine Skye

What is qualified? What have I been qualified for in my life? I haven't been qualified to be a mayor. I'm not qualified to be a songwriter. I'm not qualified to be a TV producer. I'm not qualified to be a successful businessman. And so, I don't know what qualified means.

Sonny Bono

I'm a singer and a songwriter. It's hard to describe what I sound like when I sing.

Murray Head

I moved to Nashville to be a songwriter. I found out that was a job, that someone would pay you to sit in a room with a guitar and make up songs! It is the greatest job in the world. I wrote three or four songs a day. That's what I lived for.

Chris Stapleton

I'm a songwriter, that's what I love.

Berry Gordy

I feel I want to grow as an actress and be better. I want to progress as a singer and songwriter, and produce movies and everything. So there'll be no time when I feel I've done it all.

Jennifer Lopez

Labrinth is a super talented singer, producer, songwriter from London.

Estelle

I didn't want to repeat my mistakes so I stopped, took some time out and started having therapy. My songs were bringing up feelings inside of me I didn't really understand, so I wanted to understand where they were coming from to help me be a better person and a better songwriter.

Neil Diamond

As a songwriter, I've always loved to tell stories. But in my band, it was always about what would make sense for a band to put out.

Cassadee Pope

As a songwriter and as a vocalist, Adele is amazing. You have that. But then there's something about her that's just very honest. I feel like so many people across the board can relate to her and who she is. She's just so appealing and very real.

Greg Kurstin

I am a songwriter. I do get to put my personal experiences in song.

Melissa Etheridge

Well, my main instrument is violin, but I think of myself as a songwriter who happens to play violin.

Andrew Bird

I'm a songwriter. I need silence to hear the melodies, so I don't fill the days with a lot of sound.

Mike Love
