Her happiness floated like waves of ocean along the coast of her life. She found lyrics of her life in his arms but she never sung her song. - Santosh Kalwar And instead of singing in the shower I would write out the lyrics of my favorite songs, the ink would turn the water blue or red or green, and the music would run down my legs. - Jonathan Safran Foer Instead of singing in the shower, I would write out the lyrics of my favourite songs, the ink would turn the water blue or red or green, and the music would run down my legs. - Jonathan Safran Foer I have had much to learn from Sweden's poetry and, more especially, from her lyrics of the last generation. - Knut Hamsun What a gulf between impression and expression! That's our ironic fateto have Shakespearean feelings and (unless by some billion-to-one chance we happen to be Shakespeare) to talk about them like automobile salesmen or teen-agers or college professors. We practice alchemy in reversetouch gold and it turns int...

There are beautiful sounds in rock. Very lazy, dreamlike noises. You can forget about the lyrics in most songs. Just dig the noise, and you've got your sound...We're musical primitives. - Andy Warhol I write my lyrics into the computer and I hum my music into the dictaphone. - Sebastian Bach I think you can have the greatest lyrics in the world and if it doesn't have the best tune in the world it will suck. I mean if the music wasn't important it would just be a poem. - Julian Cope If a thing can be said in ten words, I may be relied upon to take a hundred to say it. I ought to apologize for that. I ought to prune, pare and extirpate excess growth, but I will not. I like words - strike that, I love words - and while I am fond of the condensed and economical use of them in poetry, in song lyrics, in Twitter, in good journalism and smart advertising, I love the luxuriant profusion and mad scatter of them too. - Stephen Fry If you actually dissect the lyrics in 'M...

For several centuries what has passed for song in literary circles was any text that looked like the lyrics for a commonplace melodic setting. - David Antin It's weird to try to write lyrics for somebody else. They can't really get behind what you're saying or what you want them to say because they didn't experience it. - Wes Borland I have a really hard time writing my own lyrics for this record, because one, I had to write so many and also I was kind of perplexed by the idea of how I was going to sing and play... because at that time, we hadn't really thought about asking someone else. - Kim Gordon I write most of my own lyrics for my album and I am helping to produce some of the songs as well. - Lindsay Lohan

The thing is, in English I'm able to write the lyrics as I'm making the song, once I'm done with the melody. - Utada Hikaru I need some kind of emotional stake in it to write my lyrics, assuming that place. It might just be an emotion I understand but am not currently experiencing necessarily. - John Mayer Wait, that's your idea? That's your expert advice? You're going to tell these novelists to just keep going? You're going to tell these honest, earnest writers: You gotta have faith? Those are George Michael lyrics, asshole. If they wanted that pep talk, they could just hang out inside a mall elevator. - Karen Russell So one can say that I write all the time, that goes for the lyrics as well. - Billy Sherwood Sometimes it's liberating to confront horrible things in lyrics as a way to master the shadow-self that exists in everyone. - Jeff Tweedy

I thinks it really interesting how they throw the world music samples in there. I often wonder what it would be like to do something like that, but use my lyrics and my kind of style. - Marc Almond I get even more nervous singing when everyone's fallen silent, but I really try to communicate the meaning of the lyrics, and there's people there listening to that, and if they're moved by it, then I'm moved as well. - Namie Amuro There will always be some kid who's the new Kurt Cobain writing great lyrics and singing from his soul. The problem is they're not marketing that anymore or putting it out there. - Rosanna Arquette Some things remain fragments, just the lyrics and melodies or a line or two or a verse. - Tracy Chapman If you can say the lyrics almost like a poem and they stand up, that's a great thing. Some songs have great lyrics and I don't like the melodies, and vice versa. - Harry Connick Jr A lot of Woody Guthrie's songs were taken fro...
