Newgrass Songs Quotes

#1. I love country music so much. I love all kinds of music. But when it comes down to it, I'm from East Tennessee, and country melodies and country songs have always just sliced me in the heart. #Quote by Ashley Monroe

#2. The years passed like the steps of a staircase leading lower and lower. I did not walk any more in the sun or hear the songs of larks like crystal fountains playing against the sky. No hand enfolded mine in the warm clasp of love. My thoughts were again solitary, disintegrate, disharmonious – the music gone. I lived alone in a few pleasant rooms, feeling my life run out aimlessly with the tedious hours: the life of an old maid ran out of my fingertips. #Quote by Anna Kavan

#3. Trust me Miki. Nothing cures heartache faster than a bunch of girls singing pop songs badly at the top of thier lungs. #Quote by Mark Crilley

#4. I'd given the bare minimum of info-especially after-hypocrite that he is-Frankie made such dramatic gagging motions at my description of the Mustang that a passing shopper had asked if she should call 911.
So I braced myself. "Dare."
Frankie's brows went up. "Well. All right,then." He scanned the floor. "I dare you to stand up next to that mannequin over there,and list the five best Unrequited Love songs of all time. #Quote by Melissa Jensen

#7. Do you ever worry you're being a teenager wrong?" I thought of the last three years. "I KNOW I'm being one wrong." "I mean, what's wrong with finding songs glorifying domestic violence offensive? What's wrong with finding live music too loud? What's wrong with a nice cup of tea and a chat? #Quote by Holly Bourne

#8. Take the heart first. Then you don't feel the cold so much. The pain so much. With the heart gone, there's no reason to stay your hand. Your eyes can look on death and not tremble. It's the heart that betrays us, makes us weep, makes us bury our friends when we should be marching ahead. It's the heart that sickens us at night and makes us hate who we are. It's the heart that sings old songs and brings memories of warm days and makes us waver at another mile, another smouldering village. #Quote by Jeanette Winterson

#9. I became famous, I think, really because of the interpretation of other people's songs, way back when, and that's what I enjoy the most. And I'm a lazy bugger. #Quote by Rod Stewart

#10. In Mudcrutch we all wrote songs, and when it got to the focus on Tom and the Heartbreakers, I kept writing songs, but it wasn't anything that was up the Heartbreakers tree, I didn't think - and I don't think they did, either. So I kept writing songs for the hell of it, but I didn't want to make a record just for the sake of making a record. #Quote by Benmont Tench

#11. It's great to be able to get up there now and do an hour or 75 minutes of songs they're familiar with. #Quote by Trace Adkins

#12. O gods, rob not the earth of the dim hush that hangs round all Your temples, bereave not all the world of old romance, take not the glamour from the moonlight nor tear the wonder out of the white mists in every land; for, O ye gods of the childhood of the world, when You have left the earth You shall have taken the mystery from the sea and all its glory from antiquity, and You shall have wrenched our hope from the dim future. There shall be no strange cities at night time half understood, nor songs in the twilight, and the whole of the wonder shall have died with last year's flowers in little gardens or hill-slopes leaning south; for with the gods must go the enchantment of the plains and all the magic of dark woods, and something shall be lacking from the quiet of early dawn. #Quote by Lord Dunsany

#13. I've always used Old English in certain songs. #Quote by Erik Rutan

#16. We made it. Despite the fear and predictions of doom. We made it. Even though there were days when we were tired and there were days when we forgot who we were. We made it. And we must thank the stars for this. And the birds for their beautiful songs. And the strangers who were careful to smile. We made it. #Quote by Ron Atchison

#17. I wrote all the lyrics on 'Good Vibrations' and most of them in 'Kokomo.' 'Kokomo' was extremely popular and fun to sing - it's probably one of the bigger sing-along songs in our show. But then 'Help Me Rhonda,' 'Surfin' USA' and 'California Girls' and 'I Get Around' and 'Fun, Fun, Fun' are great songs as well. #Quote by Mike Love

#18. My mom used to ask me when I was gonna write a happy song. I still tell her that it's when I start to write really happy-sounding songs that everyone needs to start worrying. #Quote by Sharon Van Etten

#19. There's nothing wrong with the screaming style of singing, and I'll be the first to admit that it conveys an emotion. But I'm getting older, and I can't scream and shout about the same things anymore. The songs I'm writing with Stone Sour call for a lighter, different approach. #Quote by Corey Taylor

#20. And I thought about how many people have loved those songs. And how many people got through a lot of bad times because of those songs. And how many people enjoyed good times with those songs. And how much those songs really mean. I think it would be great to have written one of those songs. I bet if I wrote one of them, I would be very proud. I hope the people who wrote those songs are happy. I hope they feel it's enough. I really do because they've made me happy. And I'm only one person. #Quote by Stephen Chbosky

#21. So yeah, it's nothing that I'm doing on purpose, I just think that the more records, the more songs that I write, the more records that I make, you're obviously going to fall into a specific style and thank God it's a style that people are into. #Quote by Kenny Chesney

#22. Hawai'i is not truly the idyllic paradise of popular songs
islands of love and tranquility, where nothing bad ever happens. It was and is a place where people work and struggle, live and die, as they do the world over. #Quote by Alan Brennert

#24. A wife who lets herself go and is not sexually available to her husband in the ways that the Song of Songs is so frank about is not responsible for her husband's sin, but she may not be helping him either. #Quote by Mark Driscoll

#25. 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. #Quote by Brian McKnight

#26. All the time I was writing hit songs with my partner David Porter, I always had the yen to perform. Sure did. And when the opportunity came, I took it. The first album, 'Presenting Isaac Hayes,' didn't do so hot, but it was like a prelude for what was to come. #Quote by Isaac Hayes

#27. The king was silent. "Ents!" he said at length. "Out of the shadows of legend I begin a little to understand the marvel of the trees, I think. I have lived to see strange days. Long we have tended our beasts and our fields, built our houses, wrought our tools, or ridden away to help in the wars of Minas Tirith. And that we called the life of Men, the way of the world.
We cared little for what lay beyond the borders of our land. Songs we have that tell of these things, but we are forgetting them, teaching them only to children, as a careless custom. And now the songs have come down among us out of the strange places, and walk visible under the Sun."
"You should be glad," Théoden King," said Gandalf. "For not only the little life of Men is now endangered, but the life also of those thing which you have deemed the matter of legend. You are not without allies, even if you know them not."
"Yet also I should be sad," said Théoden. "For however the fortune of war shall go, may it not so end that much that was fair and wonderful shall pass for ever out of Middle-earth? #Quote by J.R.R. Tolkien

#28. I watched him go. He walked with a limp, had a prosthetic leg, in fact. Something bad had happened during his time in Afghanistan. I didn't know more than that, and I didn't feel comfortable asking
for details. But even with an injury that had literally torn his body apart, he carried himself tall. He limped, sure, but he limped with confidence. With purpose. He limped like a man who couldn't stop now, thank you, he still had a world to save.
It made me feel like we had something in common. Or rather, that we could have something in common, if I were more of a bad-ass, more of a hero. If I worked a little harder, cared a little more.
And it made me realize that Harrison Paine, if he was half the man who had written those songs, given those interviews, would fight like hell to recover. To save his career. To save his voice.
But first, he needed me to fight like hell to save him. I looked down. Poor bastard, I thought, recalling Dr. Ren's words. I reached down, brushing a lock of sweat-damp hair from his forehead, tucking it behind his ear. You're not alone, I told him, pushing my thoughts into his brain. And then I gripped the cold, hard railing of the gurney and pushed Harrison Paine to the elevator. #Quote by Peter Styles

#29. There was a whole chain of separate departments dealing with proletarian literature, music, drama and entertainment generally. Here were produced rubbishy newspapers containing almost nothing except sport, crime and astrology, sensational five-cent novelettes, films oozing with sex, and sentimental songs ... #Quote by George Orwell

#30. The words to country songs are very earthy like the blues. They're not as dressed up and the people are very honest and say, 'Look, I miss you darlin', so I went out and got drunk in this bar.' That's the way you say it. Where in Tin Pan Alley they would say, 'Oh I missed you darling, so I went to this restaurant and I sat down and had a dinner for one.' That's cleaned up now, you see? But country and blues tells it like it is. #Quote by Ray Charles

#31. We wanted to sit down and conceptually work out songs. #Quote by Mike Lowry

#32. There aren't that many songs that pay homage to the DJ. They are the ones getting artists' music out there. They are the ones getting the club popping. But no one's giving them any love. #Quote by Tila Tequila

#33. No, I'm talking about the famine of stories and songs. They killed all the storytellers who tried to tell them about the Son of the Thundercloud. They killed hope. #Quote by Easterine Kire

#34. The word matters in country music, and it always has. And everybody had lived those words in country songs. #Quote by Brenda Lee

#35. I look at my music in the beginning, and the sexual songs, the partying songs, those are the realities because those things happen. #Quote by R. Kelly

#36. You need to be different and stand out. You need to have a message. For me, it didn't come easily. The best advice I was ever given, though, is go away and write 100 songs. You need to find the music that's you. #Quote by Jess Glynne

#37. Love Songs Now: Fewer broken hearts, more sexual misery. #Quote by Mason Cooley

#38. The Yirkalla aborigines of Arnhem Land in Australia hear sacred song words in the babbling of babies. To them, songs are never composed but only discovered: all songs exist already. #Quote by Philip Ball

#39. I tend to gravitate toward ballads and mid-tempo songs. #Quote by Charles Kelley

#40. Tell me, I want to know

Tell me about the moments that made your hands shake,
tell me about your first kiss and the person who made your
heart break. Tell me what you love to do in your spare time,
tell me about all the places you want to sce, about your
favorite books, songs, and flavors of tea. Tell me the thing
that scares you most, tell me the moment you decided who
you are. Tell me the colors that make you dizzy, tell me all the
constellations you know. Tell me the things you hope for, the
wishes you place on stars, tell me the candy that you like, the
flowers that make you sigh. Tell me what makes you breathe,
tell me and I'll never say goodbye. #Quote by Courtney Peppernell

#41. I've listened to music all my life. I've always felt that music tells more stories sometimes than films, with more possibilities. Every time you listen to them, songs bring different images and moods - depending on where you are in your life, you can listen to a song, and it means something different. #Quote by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

#42. A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease. #Quote by John Muir

#43. I ask myself what making it really means. I know I want to make my living solely as a musician, but I also want to be recognized as someone unique, defined by my voice, by my abilities as a songwriter, to have the world know my songs and my melodies just as they had known and acknowledged the songs of the Beatles. I want to do this on my own terms, I want to be singular, and if that means being marginalized, then so be it. I will become stronger, and even if no one else knows who I am, I shall know myself. #Quote by Sting

#44. The amusements of broadcast consist mainly of songs, stories, and games, just as in tribal life. The songs and stories are mostly about courtship, the games mostly played by men, just as in tribal life. #Quote by Stewart Brand

#45. I don't know anyone who has described that terrible yearning for ecstasy and immolation through music as lucidly as Sean Madigan Hoen in Songs Only You Know. Only a thorough initiate of the scene who also had some genius with language could summon the demotic yet electric voice for the job. If there is ruefulness, now, for the way he treated his body, his girlfriends, and his family, he wisely reprises in his book, in neon detail, the fever that once placed him in the same drunken boat with Iggy Pop, Rimbaud and Artaud. #Quote by Jaimy Gordon

#46. Dalliance!" He was offended. He stood back. "What, do you think I am a philanderer? My intention is not to dally with you, Cat! What an awful word - it reminds me of those sentimental songs about maids and soldiers kissing at the garden gate. #Quote by Veronica Bennett

#47. Why is it the songs all end with the good people winning, but in life they don't?"
They don't make songs when the good lose," I muttered. "They make war chants against the bad. So there won't be any songs for us. #Quote by Sherwood Smith
