I did a couple songs with this hip-hop guy named Tim Dark. He was working in the same studio I've been working in, he heard my music and he said, aw man, I've got to do something with you. Alan Vega
I play a couple basic folks songs and break them down. I did that on a six string. I can't recall all the songs on it. There's some finger picking on it. Roger McGuinn
I learned the songs and played the gigs, and then they called me about a month later. They told me they were like super stoked on me and asked me to join their band. Travis Barker
Even though other people wrote my songs I put my stamp on them. I have a connection, but there is no truer connection than an artists and their own song. Justin Guarini
I hardly ever listen to any of our old stuff now. Once the songs have been recorded and put on to vinyl they become someone else's entertainment, not mine. Robert Smith
My next project will be a Christian album, another one. I wrote the songs for the ones you're referring to, but I want to do some of my old gospel favorites. That's what my next album's going to be. Charlie Daniels
It seems to me like the Internet allows you to break that structure a little bit. You know, here's your CD that's going into stores, here's your EP that you offer online, here's a subscription for songs you recorded on the road, here's your live stuff streaming. Liz Phair
That's my dream job, to be able to mail songs out to people who want to hear them. Paste my face on them and not travel all over the world trying to sell them. Kristin Hersh
So what I do, more than play any instrument - I mean, I love to play - but more than that, I write songs. Songs that are about living, about what it's like to be going through all the things that people go through in life. Jackson Browne
So it's not so much that I set out to do something different, it's just that the songs themselves require their own individual voice and attention. Ben Harper
Frankly, I mean, sometimes the interpretations I've seen on some of the songs that I've written are a lot more interesting than the input that I put in. David Bowie
I like to sing. I write music. Country songs. You have to if you're in Nashville. It's part of the lease. You sign a lease that says, I will write country songs and pay my rent on time. Jim Varney
The people at the record company had asked me if I could write a song about my life, my relationship with God, and where I'm from. Well, I can't write a song on purpose, my songs come in a moment of inspiration or desperation. Billy Ray Cyrus
The songs are inspired by my experiences. Sometimes they are more than my real-life and, conversely, my life is more than just my songs. Melissa Etheridge
