I'm slowly working up the courage to sing in front of other people, but I can carry a tune. I do some mean karaoke.
Young people don't want to be second to anyone. Everyone wants to be an overnight star. Look how many years I had to wait, how many roads I had to travel, how many songs I had to sing. And now I'm just beginning, never ending.
I was the boy who liked to sing his own songs at talent shows, and I was suddenly officially uncool.
I think the world is ready for some rock 'n' roll. Some real time guys that play their own instruments, write their own songs, and sing the music and have a good time doing it.
The lyrics - everything I sing, I've written.
I was just glad to meet somebody outside of my group of small town friends who was into music. Somebody else who had aspirations to do something more than sing at a record hop.
I write songs as honestly as I can without worrying about genres or labels. Sometimes I sing, and sometimes I rap, and sometimes I do something in between. I jump around on stage and don't care too much about how I look. I try to be myself even though I'm still figuring myself out.
I don't sing about politics or anything like that. I sing about love. That's what I know about.
And if I don't sing, I don't get paid.
D'Angelo could sing the phonebook and it would sound good.
My dad was in the movie 'Moonwalker,' and I knew he could sing really well, but I didn't know he could act. I saw that, and I said, 'Wow, I want to be just like him.'
I decided to always sing in the back with the chorus and never went up front because I had trouble performing.
When I started to record, I could sing in pitch, but that was maybe about it.
There have been occasions - and I think it's very good for any human being that such occasions would be rare - that one would feel that one is a channel, and there have been some occasions when it seemed as though I was standing outside of myself watching and listening to myself sing.
I think I was put on earth to sing and play music.
Sometimes, if you begin to sing in a halfhearted mood, you can sing yourself up the ladder. Singing will often make the heart rise.
Living in a capital in Europe but still surrounded by mountains and ocean, my relationship to music was strongest walking to school and back. I would sing to myself and very quickly started mapping out my melodies to landscapes - at the time I just thought it was very matter of fact, a common thing to do.
Any song I don't feel good about, I shelve. Anything you ever hear me sing, it's because I want to.
