Song quotes by Craig Robinson
#1. Ever since I can remember, I've always been silly. #Quote by Craig Robinson
Song quotes by Alan Jackson
#2. He's written some great songs. I thought that 'Blues Man' was a perfect song for me to do as a tribute. #Quote by Alan Jackson
Song quotes by Oscar Wilde
#3. For lo, what changes time can bring! The cycles of revolving years May free my heart from all its fears, And teach my lips a song to sing. Before yon field of trembling gold Is garnered into dusty sheaves, Or ere the autumn's scarlet leaves Flutter as birds adown the wold, I may have run the glorious race, And caught the torch while yet aflame, And called upon the holy name Of Him who now doth hide His face. ARONA. #Quote by Oscar Wilde
Song quotes by Mitchell Ivers
#4. We all know what good writing is: It's the novel we can't put down, the poem we never forget, the speech that changes the way we look at the world. It's the article that tells us when, where, and how, the essay that clarifies what was hazy before. Good writing is the memo that gets action, the letter that says what a phone call can't. It's the movie that makes us cry, the TV show that makes us laugh, the lyrics to the song we can't stop singing, the advertisement that makes us buy. Good writing can take form in prose or poetry, fiction or nonfiction. It can be formal or informal, literary or colloquial. The rules and tools for achieving each are different, but one difficult-to-define quality runs through them all: style. "Effectiveness of assertion" was George Bernard Shaw's definition of style. "Proper words in proper places" was Jonathan Swift's. You #Quote by Mitchell Ivers
Song quotes by Spencer Gordon
#5. One song, one note that heals the guilty chaos of our days, making sense of our loneliness, our perjured feelings, our sickness and our poverty, how we shall never be beautiful, how our heads will run over with unbearable secrets and how we are sentenced to this, serving us right
when the song should end, be cut down, finished, and the singer not go on singing. #Quote by Spencer Gordon
Song quotes by Patricia Briggs
#6. Moonlight streamed in, sending loving beams over his face. He closed his eyes and basked in it, and I could tell it was calling to him, even though the moon was not full. She didn't speak to me, but Samuel had once described her song to me in the words of a poet. The expression of bliss on his face while he listened to her music made him beautiful. #Quote by Patricia Briggs
Song quotes by Lewis Carroll
#7. The Mad Gardener's Song

He thought he saw an Elephant,
That practised on a fife:
He looked again, and found it was
A letter from his wife.
'At length I realise,' he said,
'The bitterness of Life!'

He thought he saw a Buffalo
Upon the chimney-piece:
He looked again, and found it was
His Sister's Husband's Niece.
'Unless you leave this house,' he said,
'I'll send for the Police!'

He thought he saw a Rattlesnake
That questioned him in Greek:
He looked again, and found it was
The Middle of Next Week.
'The one thing I regret,' he said,
'Is that it cannot speak!'

He thought he saw a Banker's Clerk
Descending from the bus:
He looked again, and found it was
A Hippopotamus.
'If this should stay to dine,' he said,
'There won't be much for us!'

He thought he saw a Kangaroo
That worked a coffee-mill:
He looked again, and found it was
A Vegetable-Pill.
'Were I to swallow this,' he said,
'I should be very ill!'

He thought he saw a Coach-and-Four
That stood beside his bed:
He looked again, and found it was
A Bear without a Head.
'Poor thing,' he said, 'poor silly thing!
It's waiting to be fed!'

He thought he saw an Albatross
That fluttered round the lamp:
He looked again, and found it was
A Penny-Postage Stamp.
'You'd best be ge #Quote by Lewis Carroll
Song quotes by Boots Riley
#8. When I was five years old, me and my cousin got into a fistfight because when "That's the Way (I Like It)" came on the radio, he said, "That's my song," and I said, "No, that's my song." #Quote by Boots Riley
Song quotes by Mirah
#9. That's my goal, is to stay in a truthful place. And sometimes that means writing a silly song, or singing about sex or singing about environmental destruction or heartbreak, or my grandmother. The subject isn't what the core is about, it's about truthfulness and authenticity and that just comes from my heart and soul. #Quote by Mirah
Song quotes by Avril Lavigne
#10. A lot of my songs are personal and about me being 16 and having guys break my heart and feeling like it's the end of the world. #Quote by Avril Lavigne
Song quotes by Beck
#11. There's more things that I'd like to do. You know, each song is a little bit of a puzzle. I see most of them as just failed attempts. #Quote by Beck
Song quotes by Alexander McCall Smith
#12. Dear friends, he began, there is no timetable for happiness; it moves, I think, according to rules of its own. When I was a boy I thought I'd be happy tomorrow, as a young man I thought it would be next week; last month I thought it would be never. Today, I know it is now. Each of us, I suppose has at least one person who thinks that our manifest faults are worth ignoring; I have found mine, and am content. When we are far from home we think of home; I, who am happy today, think of those in Scotland for whom such happiness might seem elusive; may such powers as listen to what is said by people like me, in olive groves like this, grant to those who want a friendship a friend, attend to the needs of those who have little, hold the hand of those who are lonely, allow Scotland, our place, our country, to sing in the language of her choosing that song she has always wanted to sing, which is of brotherhood, which is of love. #Quote by Alexander McCall Smith
Song quotes by Shelby Lynne
#13. I don't have a problem baring my emotions in music. That's one of the reasons I'm glad to have music in my life. I'm pretty resilient as far as being a human being. A lot of songs write themselves. #Quote by Shelby Lynne
Song quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
#14. You're beautiful and sad," I said finally, not looking at him when I did. "Just like your eyes. You're like a song that I heard when I was a little kid but forgot I knew until I heard it again." For a long moment there was only the whirring sound of the tires on the road, and then Sam said softly, "Thank you. #Quote by Maggie Stiefvater
Song quotes by Drew Hayes
#15. but I'd advise that we all brace for the worst rather than allow ourselves to succumb to optimism's siren song." "Why #Quote by Drew Hayes
Song quotes by Pierce The Veil
#16. When I sew you up ...
Don't let me,
Stop bleeding,
Tiny stitches that you placed into my skin,
Won't let me go,
And they're ruining the mood. #Quote by Pierce The Veil
Song quotes by Duke Haney
#17. It all began with a fuck. What doesn't? I fucked the wrong person; I fucked up the right one; somebody played me a song. It changed my whole life, that song. That's why I later went to so much trouble to find the guy who wrote and sang it. #Quote by Duke Haney
Song quotes by PJ Harvey
#18. It's so interesting to me how songs take on a shape and body of their own and grow. #Quote by PJ Harvey
Song quotes by Robert Smith
#19. When we started I wasn't the singer. I was the drunk rhythm guitarist who wrote all these weird songs. #Quote by Robert Smith
Song quotes by Glen Hansard
#20. Certain songs have a life, and certain songs don't. A song is like a saddle: you ride it for a while, and if it's the right kind of song you can sing it for the rest of your life. And then other songs are only really important for certain periods of your life, and you move on from them and find yourself not necessarily needing to sing them anymore. #Quote by Glen Hansard
Song quotes by Aaron Johnson
#21. The buzz you get when you're playing a song and everyone is screaming and dancing and what have you and singing along is incredible. #Quote by Aaron Johnson
Song quotes by Tom Araya
#22. To fans in a festival setting it's like a picnic. You want to have a good time with your friends in that crowd. And in the background you hear the band play, 'Oh, that's my favorite song!' everyone is there to enjoy the afternoon and that's about it. #Quote by Tom Araya
Song quotes by Frank Sinatra
#23. The reading of the song is vital. The written word is first always ... first. Not belittling the music, but it really is a backdrop. To convey the meaning of a song you need to look at the lyric and understand it. #Quote by Frank Sinatra
Song quotes by John Waite
#24. Songs, and songwriting keeps me inspired, moving forward. I tend to scribble down notes, lyrics or just random thoughts on pieces of paper, backs of cigarette packs, sometimes on my shirt cuff. Rock n' roll is closest thing I've got to a spiritual power. It's been the higher voice in my life and it's never let me down. #Quote by John Waite
Song quotes by Sarah Dessen
#25. Some things don't last forever, but some things do. Like a good song, or a good book, or a good memory you can take out and unfold in your darkest times, pressing down on the corners and peering in close, hoping you still recognize the person you see there. #Quote by Sarah Dessen
Song quotes by Benjamin Alire Saenz
#26. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. Yeah, that was a good song. My theme song. But really I thought it was everybody's theme song. #Quote by Benjamin Alire Saenz
Song quotes by V.E Schwab
#27. The night Kate Harker decided to burn down the school chapel, she wasn't angry or drunk. She was desperate. #Quote by V.E Schwab
Song quotes by MURS
#28. My life is like a song and I think I know the words,
And as I start to sing along the whole verse becomes a blur.
So I freestyle improv, make mistakes and evolve,
The obstacles repeat, cause naturally it revolves. #Quote by MURS
Song quotes by Sandra Brown
#29. His mouth claimed hers again, hotly and hungrily. It drew breath from her. As he kissed her, his hand moved to the front of her slacks. He fumbled with the button and zipper until they were undone. When his hand slid into the elastic waistband of her panties, Rusty gasped. She had thought there would be a sensual buildup, a flirtatious progression, extended foreplay.
She didn't regret that there wouldn't be. His boldness, his impatience, was a powerful aphrodisiac. It set off explosions of desire deep within her. She tilted her hips forward and filled his palm with her softness.
He muttered swearwords that were in themselves arousing because they explicitly expressed the height of his arousal.
Like a Rod Stewart song, they were viscerally sexy, one couldn't hear them without thinking of a male and a female mating. #Quote by Sandra Brown
Song quotes by Sarah Hepola
#30. One night in Austin, I went out to karaoke with friends, and I was so loaded I jumped onstage and wrestled the microphone from some poor guy in the middle of "Little Red Corvette." When I went to get a drink afterward, the bartender said, "I'm sorry, you've been cut off." Cut off? Why? For nailing that fucking Prince song? There #Quote by Sarah Hepola
Song quotes by Paulo Coelho
#31. It was a trap. Later, if I heard the song played on the radio or at a club, i would think of him, and of a time in my life when autumn turned to spring. I would recall the excitement, the adventure, and the child who was reborn out of God knows where. That's what he was thinking. He was wise, and experienced; he knew how to woo the woman he wanted. #Quote by Paulo Coelho
Song quotes by Chris Stokes
#32. Growing up, my favorite group was New Edition. I loved the opportunity to do the remix to Bobby Brown's song 'Get Away'. I told myself that I would have my own group like New Edition one day. #Quote by Chris Stokes
Song quotes by Diana Gabaldon
#33. He tolk both my hands in his, then, and kissed them - the left which still bore the gold ring of my marriage to Frank, and then the right, with his own silver ring..
"Da mi basia mille," he whispered, smiling. Give me a thousand kisses. It was the inscription inside my ring, a brief quotation from a love song by Catullus. I bent and gave him one back. "Dein mille altera, " I said. Then a thousand more. #Quote by Diana Gabaldon
Song quotes by Steve Kluger
#34. Romance isn't just about roses or killing dragons or sailing a kayak around the world. It's also about chocolate chip cookies and sharing The Grateful Dead and James Taylor with me in the middle of the night, and believing me when I say that you could be bigger than both of them put together, and not making fun of me for straightening out my french fries or pointing my shoelaces in the same direction, and letting me pout when I don't get my own way, and pretending that if I play "Flower Drum Song" one more time you won't throw me and the record out the window #Quote by Steve Kluger
Song quotes by Sharon Van Etten
#35. Writing songs helped me figure out how to communicate with other people. I finally figured out that if I could express something in a song, I could probably express it in my real life, too. #Quote by Sharon Van Etten
Song quotes by G.M.W. Wemyss
#36. I saw a pair of great tits some days ago. (Massingham Major, you are a dirty-minded boy, and if you snigger again, you will do five hundred lines.) The squeaking-wheel song of Parus major is always gladsome, a precursor to interesting scenes at the bird table. On this occasion, however, what hearing and seeing the two greenery-yallery Paridae first called up in me was a memory from last year's early Springtide: an aerial near-collision. A very young squirrel – native red, I am rejoiced to say – was leaping from one tree trunk to another, adjacent, just as a great tit was exploding outwards in flight from the second tree. You never saw a more indignant bird or a more startled squirrel in your life. #Quote by G.M.W. Wemyss
Song quotes by Sarah Young
#37. SEEK MY FACE more and more. You are really just beginning your journey of intimacy with Me. It is not an easy road, but it is a delightful and privileged way: a treasure hunt. I am the Treasure, and the Glory of My Presence glistens and shimmers along the way. Hardships are part of the journey too. I mete them out ever so carefully, in just the right dosage, with a tenderness you can hardly imagine. Do not recoil from afflictions, since they are among My most favored gifts. Trust Me and don't be afraid, for I am your Strength and Song. My heart says of you, "Seek his face!" Your face, LORD, I will seek. PSALM 27 : 8 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 2 CORINTHIANS 4 : 7 "Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation." ISAIAH 12 : 2 #Quote by Sarah Young
Song quotes by E. Lockhart
#38. The song: Our youth is wasted We will not waste it Remember my name 'Cause we made history Na na na na, na na #Quote by E. Lockhart
Song quotes by Vance Joy
#39. Sometimes when you're writing a song and that song comes into your head, it definitely comes from somewhere, like a real experience. #Quote by Vance Joy
Song quotes by Brad Boney
#40. Yes, I'm fine. That song is just - " Stanton stopped himself for a moment, but then he laughed. "Out of all the songs in all the world, you had to pick that one? #Quote by Brad Boney
Song quotes by Stella Soleil
#41. I wanted to make a record with a twist. I wanted to prove that you could make a record that concentrated on song craft but that was still fun, something you could listen to and love and even dance to, but not hate yourself in the morning. I think I did that. Most of my lyrics come from my own personal journals that I have kept over the years. #Quote by Stella Soleil
Song quotes by Elvis Presley
#42. When I first saw you with your smile so tender, my heart was captured, my soul surrendered. #Quote by Elvis Presley
Song quotes by A.G. Howard
#43. He starts to hum, a haunting melody. No words ride the music, only the familiar notes of a forgotten song. #Quote by A.G. Howard
Song quotes by Liz Phair
#44. I always give the encore over to chaos, so people can yell out requests and I can hack my way through a song that I don't really know anymore. #Quote by Liz Phair
Song quotes by Eric Fellner
#45. It wasn't like we cut songs out; we cut bits of songs, bits of action or bits of whatever. So we would have to go back in get a full orchestra re-orchestrate it, re-score it, re-record it. It's a massive job. But, if there's a demand we can always discuss it. #Quote by Eric Fellner
Song quotes by Maria Dahvana Headley
#46. The sound coming out of me is nothing like a cough, nothing even in the same category of a song, but some kind of bird of prey roar, shredding my throat, pulsating my fingers, and Milekt beneath it, singing inside my voice, amplifying me, and making me stronger. #Quote by Maria Dahvana Headley
Song quotes by Billy Corgan
#47. Smashing Pumpkins has never been a band about hit songs. #Quote by Billy Corgan
Song quotes by Jhene Aiko
#48. I'm creating songs. I do it most of the time, in the car or in the house. #Quote by Jhene Aiko
Song quotes by Elliott Smith
#49. I've been doing four-track songs by myself since I was like a teenager, where I'd sing in a way that I ... I just didn't think other people would like it, so I didn't play it for them but eventually I got over that, which I'm happy that I did, because it's kind of a drag to be playing a kind of music that you don't really like as much as another kind. #Quote by Elliott Smith
Song quotes by Dannika Dark
#50. I felt a connection with him that time never erases with someone you know, like when you hear a song on the radio and all those old feelings of a special time in your life come flooding back. That was Austin - he was my song. #Quote by Dannika Dark
Song quotes by Amy A. Bartol
#51. Her heart begins to sing to me, the Siren's song that's calling me to shipwreck. I go to it willingly. When her lips meet mine, I know I'm lost, I'm found - I'm home. #Quote by Amy A. Bartol
Song quotes by Theodore Bikel
#52. In my world, history comes down to language and art. No one cares much about what battles were fought, who won them and who lost them - unless there is a painting, a play, a song or a poem that speaks of the event. #Quote by Theodore Bikel
Song quotes by Rudger Clawson
#53. If you will show me the songs which a people or a community sing, then I will tell you the character of that community. #Quote by Rudger Clawson
Song quotes by Lord Dunsany
#54. Now it is thus with time in Elfland: in the eternal beauty that dreams in that honied air nothing stirs or fades or dies, nothing seeks its happiness in movement or change or a new thing, but has its ecstasy in the perpetual contemplation of all the beauty that has ever been, and which always glows over those enchanted lawns as intense as when first created by incantation or song. #Quote by Lord Dunsany
Song quotes by Joshua Radin
#55. I write my songs usually while I'm walking around. Or in a car. Or in a bus, a plane, something like that. I jot down lyrics wherever I am. Usually it's on a vomit bag on an airplane or something. I just look for a pen. #Quote by Joshua Radin
Song quotes by Owl City
#56. ..bright eyes and subtle variations of blue... #Quote by Owl City
Song quotes by Mary Roach
#57. Constipation ran Presley's life. Even his famous motto TCB -  'Taking Care of Business' -  sounds like a reference to bathroom matters. #Quote by Mary Roach
Song quotes by Rick Moranis
#58. When I was a little kid, it was not uncommon for a cousin or an uncle, before they would even say 'Hello,' to gush, 'You know, your mother's brisket is just incredible; it's so good.' That was an inspiration for creating a love song in that well-worn terrain of the relationship between a Jewish boy and his mother. #Quote by Rick Moranis
Song quotes by Theodore Bikel
#59. I am first, and foremost, an actor. That's what I am. To me, a song is a mini-drama. My musical ability informs the actor as well because it gives me a sense of timing that non-musicians don't have. So, one hand washes the other. #Quote by Theodore Bikel
Song quotes by Action Bronson
#60. I don't ever have the pressure of making a hit, because I've never had a hit song, per se. The closest thing to a hit song was 'Shiraz,' and it's not your prototypical hit song, with a catchy hook and all this other stuff. #Quote by Action Bronson
Song quotes by Jenny Lewis
#61. I think I have a hard time expressing myself in my relationships. I use songs to tell people how I'm feeling. If I can't say 'I love you,' I'll write a song about it and hope that the person figures it out. #Quote by Jenny Lewis
Song quotes by P.J. Harvey
#62. I work on words quite separately to music. They're both ongoing, and I don't ever feel like I'm working in a cycle in that respect, because it's every day anyway, no matter what I'm doing. Then I get to a point when I've collected together enough words that seem like they want to be songs rather than poems, or sometimes not. #Quote by P.J. Harvey
Song quotes by Wallace Stegner
#63. The brook would lose its song if we removed the rocks. #Quote by Wallace Stegner
Song quotes by Junichiro Tanizaki
#64. Whenever I sit with a bowl of soup before me, listening to the murmur that penetrates like the distant song of an insect, lost in contemplation of the flavours to come, I feel as if I were being drawn into a trance #Quote by Junichiro Tanizaki
Song quotes by M. Ward
#65. When I first started making music, it was learning other people's songs and putting them onto four-track. Like Beatles songs and stuff. When I started writing, I used the singing side of the production as a vehicle for melody and lyrical ideas. #Quote by M. Ward
Song quotes by Frank Bidart
#66. Song
You know that it is there, lair
where the bear ceases
for a time even to exist.
Crawl in. You have at last killed
enough and eaten enough to be fat
enough to cease for a time to exist.
Crawl in. It takes talent to live at night, and scorning
others you had that talent, but now you sniff
the season when you must cease to exist.
Crawl in. Whatever for good or ill
grows within you needs
you for a time to cease to exist.
It is not raining inside
tonight. You know that it is there. Crawl in. #Quote by Frank Bidart
Song quotes by Neil Young
#67. If you wanna write a song, ask a guitar #Quote by Neil Young
Song quotes by Rumi
#68. The Reed Flute's Song

Listen to the story told by the reed,
of being separated.

"Since I was cut from the reedbed,
I have made this crying sound.

Anyone apart from someone he loves
understands what I say.

Anyone pulled from a source
longs to go back.

At any gathering I am there,
mingling in the laughing and grieving,

a friend to each, but few
will hear the secrets hidden

within the notes. No ears for that.
Body flowing out of spirit,

spirit up from body: no concealing
that mixing. But it's not given us

to see the soul. The reed flute
is fire, not wind. Be that empty."

Hear the love fire tangled
in the reed notes, as bewilderment

melts into wine. The reed is a friend
to all who want the fabric torn

and drawn away. The reed is hurt
and salve combining. Intimacy

and longing for intimacy, one
song. A disastrous surrender

and a fine love, together. The one
who secretly hears this is senseless.

A tongue has one customer, the ear.
A sugarcane flute has such effect

because it was able to make sugar
in the reedbed. The sound it makes

is for everyone. Days full of wanting,
let them go by without worrying

that they do. Stay where you are
inside such a pure, hollow note.

Every thirst gets satis #Quote by Rumi
Song quotes by MC Hammer
#69. I got a new song called "The Plug" and the hook says "I'm the plug/I'm connected to everything you love ... #Quote by MC Hammer
Song quotes by Calvin W. Allison
#70. Tim's countenance changed from a contemplative glow to a dim scene of a dramatic aftermath; an echo of an unknown song scratched down a chalkboard of an unidentified emotion while scrambled attempts at focus latched on to speculative fragments of logic that accumulated to reach a satisfactory degree of progress to a common ground of comprehensive reasoning. #Quote by Calvin W. Allison
Song quotes by Catriona Malan
#71. The Book Lover:-

See how I have come up in the World, because of my books.
I pull the covers agape, pages release their cargo and words fly like birds each with its own song.
Listen, and vowels will breathe like flutes in your head,
Consonants tick-tack like woodpeckers, and sibilants, sly as asps, bite the plosives that pop from our pressed lips.
A picture worth a thousand words?
You paint a score of trees, dark needled, stippled and stroked across your canvas:
My book say 'forrest' (Feel that Pine green touch)

You wash your paper with azures and turquoise, set ship after ship, sails wind-pregnant,
As far as the daubed horizon: my books say 'armada'. (Smell that sea-green scent)

Art's shape is their noun, its colour their objective,
Its tone their adverb; my books match the grammar of landscapes.

This book may say 'Socrates' secrets,
Freud's autopsy of actions or Heaney's verses;
Every idea dreamed by man caught, black stamped for all time, within its cardboard confines.
Here the past speaks to us, as the future will, in the language of our senses.

Step up book by book-
In time, you will reach the stars. #Quote by Catriona Malan
Song quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
#72. Adam relented. As they kept walking and the Orphan Girl kept piping her song and the fish kept darting through the air around them, he threw out intention of his own.
The volume of the resulting boom surprised even him; he heard it in one ear and felt it in both feet. The others all startled as another bass-heavy boom sounded at the beginning of the next measure of the tune. By the time the third thud came, it was obviously pounding in time with the music. Each of the trees they passed sounded with a processed thud, until the sound around them was the pulsing electronic beat that invariably played in Ronan's car or headphones.
"Oh God," Gansey said, but he was laughing. "Do we have to endure that here, too? Ronan! "
"It wasn't me," Ronan said. He looked to Blue, who shrugged. He caught Adam's eye. When Adam's mouth quirked, Ronan's expression stilled for a moment before turning to the loose smile he ordinarily reserved for Matthew's silliness. Adam felt a surge of both accomplishment and nerves. He skated an edge here. Making Ronan Lynch smile felt as charged as making a bargain with Cabeswater. These weren't forces to play with. #Quote by Maggie Stiefvater
Song quotes by Dorothy Fields
#73. I do not think men have more talent. There are a great many women in the arts; novelists, painters, sculptors, poets-but the proportion is far lower in the field of song writing. #Quote by Dorothy Fields
Song quotes by Taryn Manning
#74. I have so many songs, it's ridiculous. I love so many different types of music and tend to write all over the map, style-wise. R&B, rock 'n' roll, screamers, pop, good-time songs. #Quote by Taryn Manning
Song quotes by Julie James
#75. You do realize that getting down on one knee generally refers to a proposal, right?" Sidney
continued. "A marriage proposal?"
His eyes, a warm green-gold, daringly held hers as he softly sang the next line of the song. "'You
smiled . . . and then the spell was cast.'"
Okay, he pretty much just melted her heart right there. #Quote by Julie James
Song quotes by Charles Dickens
#76. Lighter and lighter, until at last the sun touched the tops of the still trees, a poured the radiance over the hill. in the glow, the water of the chateau fountain seem to turn to blood, and the stone faces crimsond. the coral of the birds was loud and high, and, on the weather-beaten sill of the great window of the bed-chamber of monsieur the morquis, one little bird sang its sweetest song with all its might. at this,the nearest stone face seemed to stare amazed, and, with open mouthand dropped under-jaw, looked awe- stricken. #Quote by Charles Dickens
Song quotes by Shehan Karunatilaka
#77. I have no idea what the song is about, but at least it does not sound like furniture falling down stairs #Quote by Shehan Karunatilaka
Song quotes by Belinda Carlisle
#78. Oh my love, it's you that I dream of
Oh my love, since that day
Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain #Quote by Belinda Carlisle
Song quotes by David Byrne
#79. Often I don't know what the song means until it's finished. Sometimes months later. I don't think that's bad. It implies that I don't know what I'm doing but-I think if you're able to follow your instincts, then that's knowing what you're doing. #Quote by David Byrne
Song quotes by Janis Ian
#80. At the end of the day, if you don't have a record contract, a studio or a guitar, you can still write songs. You're still an artist. That's something no one can take away. #Quote by Janis Ian
Song quotes by Rabindranath Tagore
#81. The world has kissed my Soul with its pain, asking for its return in Songs. #Quote by Rabindranath Tagore
Song quotes by Corey Smith
#82. I believe that people want to hear good songs and they want to be moved. #Quote by Corey Smith
Song quotes by Geronimo
#83. We had no churches, no religious organizations, so sabbath day, no holidays, and yet we worshiped. Sometimes the whole tribe would assemble and sing and pray; sometimes a smaller number, perhaps only two or three. The songs had a few words, but were not formal. The singer would occasionally put in such words as he wished instead of the usual tone sound. Sometimes we prayed in silence; sometimes each prayed aloud; sometimes an aged person prayed for all of us. At other times one would rise and speak to us of our duties to each other and to Usen. Our services were short. #Quote by Geronimo
Song quotes by Willie Nelson
#84. A lot of country music is sad. I think most art comes out of poverty and hard times. It applies to music. Three chords and the truth - that's what a country song is. There is a lot of heartache in the world. #Quote by Willie Nelson
Song quotes by Doc Brown
#85. Breaking up monotony is key to life and it doesn't matter whether I'm stacking shelves or writing songs, if I was doing the same thing every day I just couldn't take it. #Quote by Doc Brown
Song quotes by Nalini Singh
#86. This song is for my Molly, who is the best fucking thing that´s ever happened to me. Also, for those suicidal idiots sending her fan mail asking her to run away with them, I will hunt you down and rip off you nuts. #Quote by Nalini Singh
Song quotes by Tyler Joseph
#87. I remember the first time I ever showed my parents a song that I had written. The content may have been a little darker than they were used to, or really introspective in a way that may have been uncomfortable. I thought they'd retaliate with some kind of judgment or concern about whether I was feeling all right, but they were proud of it. #Quote by Tyler Joseph
Song quotes by Atticus Poetry
#88. What of the firefly,
the one I love to chase?
The old man smiled
Love her
he said
but leave her wild,
and the old oak tree I love to climb?
Love her, he said, but leave her wild
the bird that sings that song I love?
Love her, he said, but leave her wild
and the wolf that cries to the old joke moon?
Love her, he said, but leave her wild
and the horse that loves to run with storms?
Love her, he said, but leave her wild.
And what of her,
the one I love most?
And the old man smiled.
Yes, he said,
you must love her too
but love her wild
and she'll love you #Quote by Atticus Poetry
Song quotes by Natasha Bedingfield
#89. Music is a very powerful thing. If I'm angry, I can write a song about it, and it seems to make everything okay. #Quote by Natasha Bedingfield
Song quotes by Nicholas Sparks
#90. Truth only means something when it's hard to admit. #Quote by Nicholas Sparks
Song quotes by Bill Watterson
#91. I say if a novelty Christmas song is funny one time, then it is funny every time. - Calvin #Quote by Bill Watterson
Song quotes by Kate Atkinson
#92. There was just a beautiful, unearthly silence. He thought of the wood and the bluebells, the owl and the fox, a Hornby train trundling around his bedroom floor, the smell of a cake baking in the oven. The skylark ascending on his thread of song. F-Fox #Quote by Kate Atkinson
Song quotes by David Lodge
#93. When April with its sweet showers has pierced the drought of March to the root, and bathed every vein of earth with that liquid by whose power the flowers are engendered; when the zephyr, too, with its dulcet breath, has breathed life into the tender new shoots in every copse and on every hearth, and the young sun has run half his course in the sign of the Ram, and the little birds that sleep all night with their eyes open give song (so Nature prompts them in their hearts), then, as the poet Geoffrey Chaucer observed many years ago, folk long to go on pilgrimages. Only, these days, professional people call them conferences.
The modern conference resembles the pilgrimage of medieval Christendom in that it allows the participants to indulge themselves in all the pleasures and diversions of travel while appearing to be austerely bent on self-improvement. To be sure, there are certain penitential exercises to be performed - the presentation of a paper, perhaps, and certainly listening to papers of others. #Quote by David Lodge
Song quotes by George R.R. Martin
#94. Familiarity is the father of acceptance. #Quote by George R.R. Martin
Song quotes by Robert Muldoon
#95. Oh, the rare old Whale, mid storm and gale In his ocean home will be A giant in might, where might is right And King of the boundless sea - Whale Song #Quote by Robert Muldoon
Song quotes by Gloria Estefan
#96. When I went to do "Carson" that night, they wanted us to do two songs, but we were a brand new band. "Conga" hadn't even hit the top 10 yet. They go, "Do you think you could do something that people know, because we want you to do a second song, but not two originals, because we don't want to lose the audience, just in case." #Quote by Gloria Estefan
Song quotes by Liam Payne
#97. It's so amazing to hear a crowd of people singing one of your songs. It's the best feeling. #Quote by Liam Payne
Song quotes by Paul Zollo
#98. Pythagoras felt that specific notes affected people to very minute gradations of feeling. And every songwriter, I think, knows that D is a great key for a long song. It just happens to work. And B flat is always a great jump key for jazz.
~ Janis Ian #Quote by Paul Zollo
Song quotes by Jim Leyland
#99. I knew we were in for a long season when we lined up for the national anthem on opening day and one of my players said, 'Every time I hear that song I have a bad game.' #Quote by Jim Leyland
Song quotes by Kahlil Gibran
#100. All these things have you said of beauty.
Yet in truth you spoke not of her but of needs unsatisfied,
And beauty is not a need but an ecstasy.
It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth,
But rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted.
It is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear,
But rather an image you see though you close your eyes and a song you hear though you shut your ears.
It is not the sap within the furrowed bark, nor a wing attached to a claw,
But rather a garden for ever in bloom and a flock of angels for ever in flight.
People of Orphalese, beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.
But you are life and you are the veil.
Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
But you are eternity and your are the mirror. #Quote by Kahlil Gibran
Song quotes by Carl Gardner
#101. My musical background in Tyler, Texas was quite outstanding. Uh, I grew up with, uh, with high school teachers who were in bands, they could play music. And we had a nine piece band there in Tyler, and I joined them when I was about, oh, 15 years old and traveled all over Texas in that band, playing for the elite oil people. Hah. And um, I was making about 50 bucks a night, and uh, it taught me, they taught me how to find my timing and to learn the songs that I wanted. #Quote by Carl Gardner
Song quotes by Conor Oberst
#102. We're going to sing about things that matter to us. The balancing act is to present these ideas but also make the music exciting and sort of fun enough that even if you're not paying attention to the lyrics, you might still like the songs anyway. That's the idea. #Quote by Conor Oberst
Song quotes by James Bay
#103. Both Springsteen and Michael Jackson, who had these huge productions, could always scale them back down to just a song and a melody. All of that influences me. I also try to be a fictional writer, and sometimes I get close, but the things that resonate the most with me - and with everyone else - is what's real. #Quote by James Bay
Song quotes by Taylor Swift
#104. Most of my songs have names of people I've met or are dear to me. There are people who have privacy issues and about people knowing about their private life. But for me, I like to include few special names and few details about them to make the song very special to me. #Quote by Taylor Swift
Song quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
#105. Psalms 28:7 - The LORD [is] my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. #Quote by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Song quotes by Casey James
#106. Because my musical background is so diverse, it lends me to have very much my own style and it helps me to relate to the music as I'm going to play it. I just write. And if it comes out country, it's a country song. The funny thing is, I write all across the board. I just write what hits me at the time. #Quote by Casey James
Song quotes by John  Fairfax
#107. On the land an oak will grow
On a bough an owl may stand
From lasting cloud a rain will fall
Upon the earth to water seed.

Each to each returns its need
To act upon the other's call
No locking ring may stay the hand
Nor halt the seasons as they flow.

- Little Song #Quote by John Fairfax
Song quotes by G-Eazy
#108. If I didn't make a single song in two months, I'm slippin'. You can't just party every night. #Quote by G-Eazy
Song quotes by Jeffrey L. Campbell
#109. The Impossible Dream": The song I hear in my head whenever life throws me a major crisis. #Quote by Jeffrey L. Campbell
Song quotes by Bohumil Hrabal
#110. Suddenly the door opened and in stomped a giant reeking of the river, and before anyone knew what was happening, he had grabbed a chair, smashed it in two, and chased the terrified customers into a corner. The three youngsters pressed against the wall like periwinkles in the rain, but at the very last moment, when the man had picked up half a chair in each hand and seemed ready for the kill, he burst into song, and after conducting himself in "Gray Dove Where Have You Been?" he flung aside the halves of the chair, paid the waiter for the damage, and, turning to the still-shaking customers, said, "Gentlemen I am the hangman's assistant," whereupon he left, pensive and miserable. Perhaps he was the one who, last year at the Holesovice slaughterhouse, put a knife to my neck, shoved me into a corner, took out a slip of paper, and read me a poem celebrating the beauties of the countryside at Ricany, then apologized saying he hadn't found any other way of getting people to listen to his verse. #Quote by Bohumil Hrabal
Song quotes by Ann Aguirre
#111. First slow dance, you get out there and ask her. Promise?"
Max knocked back his shot. "Fine, I can probably manage that."
I chugged my water as another good song came on. So I grabbed his hand. "Don't be self-conscious. I'm going to teach you some move. Nothing fancy."
He watched me for a few seconds than shook his head. "My pelvis only moves that way under one circumstance. This isn't it. #Quote by Ann Aguirre
Song quotes by Ilya Ilf
#112. California is the most reactionary state in America. Fascist sentiments are very strong here. #Quote by Ilya Ilf
Song quotes by Doris Day
#113. I like to sing love songs. #Quote by Doris Day
Song quotes by Fiphie
#114. [...] The fact is that in order to be loved and to accept love you have to get naked to the very bone of your own being. Taking off every layer of skin that gives us humans the illusion that in some way we're different from the rest. For better or for worse. Truth is though that under that burden of skin and flesh we're all the same mortal skeletons dancing to the same bittersweet song of life. [...] #Quote by Fiphie
Song quotes by Matthew Fox
#115. The universe is in the habit of making beauty. There are flowers and songs, snowflakes and smiles, acts of great courage, laughter between friends, a job well done, the smell of fresh baked bread. Beauty is everywhere. #Quote by Matthew Fox
Song quotes by Halsey
#116. It usually takes me 20 to 90 minutes to write a song because once I start, I don't stop. If I start writing a song, and you try to have a conversation with me, you're a bad person. #Quote by Halsey
Song quotes by Sheryl Crow
#117. I have yet to write that one song that defines my career. #Quote by Sheryl Crow
Song quotes by Charlie Benante
#118. I had demos that I'd send out of the songs and I'd get, "Great, can't wait to get in a room and actually play this and work on the album." So, it was good all-around because they knew even though I wasn't with them for some of the shows, I was being productive, which was really important because I didn't want to just sit on my ass. Once I was able to use my hand again, I would go right into it. #Quote by Charlie Benante
Song quotes by Steven Pinker
#119. It's likely that taboo words are stored in the right hemisphere of the brain. Massive left hemisphere strokes or the entire surgical removal of the left hemisphere can leave people with no articulate speech other than the ability to swear, spout cliches and song lyrics. #Quote by Steven Pinker
Song quotes by Maltbie Davenport Babcock
#120. Be strong! It matters not how deep entrenched the wrong, how hard the battle goes, the day how long, faint not, fight on! Tomorrow comes the song. #Quote by Maltbie Davenport Babcock
Song quotes by Ann Simko
#121. You don't have to do this, Dakota. Nothing that man has to say to you is of any consequence. You already know his song. #Quote by Ann Simko
Song quotes by Kristen Ciccarelli
#122. When she remained silent, the slave went back to work. He started humming the tune of a song only to stop, rearrange the notes, then sing them again in a different order. He did this over and over. Like he was testing the song and it kept failing him. Asha lay back, letting his voice distract her from the teeth-grinding pain of his needle sewing her up. A story rose to mind, unbidden. Rayan strode through his mother's orange grove and stopped sharp. Someone was singing. Someone with the voice of a nightingale. #Quote by Kristen Ciccarelli
Song quotes by Dorothy Fields
#123. The songwriter mustn't fall in love with his own song. If it doesn't belong, he can't push it into a show. Let him save it; maybe it'll fit in another show. #Quote by Dorothy Fields
Song quotes by Tabitha Suzuma
#124. Did you think I – I would be able to carry on, without you?" I sob, my voice muffled against his shoulder. "Did you think I'd manage to get through this thing called life without you by my side?"

"I thought you'd be better off without me – I didn't think, I couldn't think…" We are both sobbing now.

"Who else would run out on their own birthday party, force me barefoot down the fire escape, bring me fruit salad in bed, complain that I'm humming a pop song in the wrong key?" I am laughing and crying at once. "Who else would force me to dance in front of a complete stranger, learn to play the guitar overnight and accompany me when I sing?" I sniff hard and punch him on the shoulder. "How could I possibly live without you, you stupid, stupid idiot? #Quote by Tabitha Suzuma
Song quotes by Nick Lowe
#125. And then, one day, they program a new tune, and it really catches your ear, you know, because you can be doing the washing up or something, you know, in your apartment and suddenly you go, whoa, what are they playing in there? And you run to the wall, but it's finished - but the song's finished. You only heard enough of it just the pique your interest. And you never know when they're going to play it again, of course, like a normal radio station. #Quote by Nick Lowe
Song quotes by Lucia Giovannini
#126. if the trees are arms that hold up the sky, when we have cut the last trees, the sky will fall on top of us.

Song quotes by Christine Feehan
#127. She kissed him, her body molding to his, and in his mind her beautiful voice rose in song just for him. The notes skipped from his mind to the sky, silver and gold notes of joy and happiness, of courage and admiration. She sang of love between two people, sacred and beautiful. She sang of peace and happiness. Her hands moved over him possessively, lovingly, checking his body for wounds. Her warrior was home. Whatever #Quote by Christine Feehan
Song quotes by Taylor Swift
#128. I've been singing Shakira songs in front of my bathroom mirror into my hairbrush forever. It's like a daily routine. #Quote by Taylor Swift

Song quotes by Ellen DeGeneres
#130. Have you ever heard somebody sing some lyrics that you've never sung before, and you realize you've never sung the right words in that song? You hear them and all of a sudden you say to yourself, 'Life in the Fast Lane?' That's what they're saying right there? You think, 'why have I been singing 'wipe in the vaseline?' how many people have heard me sing 'wipe in the vaseline?' I am an idiot. #Quote by Ellen DeGeneres
Song quotes by Kina Grannis
#131. I get to travel around the world and meet all of these amazing people, and they're singing my songs! And to me, that's crazy. #Quote by Kina Grannis
Song quotes by George R R Martin
#132. This is not Winterfell', he told him as he cut his meat with fork and dagger. 'On the Wall, a man gets only what he earns. You're no ranger, Jon, only a green boy with the smell of summer still on you. #Quote by George R R Martin
Song quotes by Paul Weller
#133. I think, with age, you learn that it comes in bursts and you've got no control over it. I'm not one of those people who says, 'I've got to write a song every day.' I just store up ideas, and really I have to wait until it finds me; I know when I'm ready to write. It used to frustrate me, but it doesn't any more. It's just how it is. #Quote by Paul Weller
Song quotes by Cressida Cowell
#134. I forget myself sometimes, but then I look up, as I am looking up now, and I see in my mind's eye a sheild, strangely changed by a rich encrusting of jewel-like barnacles and cold-water coral, with an eight foot tooth sticking right out of the middle of it. I reach out and the edge of that tooth is still so bitingly sharp after all these years that just a gentle brush with the fingers might send a rain of blood down on these pages. And I bend my head, not too close, and I am sure I can hear, very faintly:
Once I set the sea alight
With a single fiery breath ...
Once I was so mighty that I thought
My name was Death ...
Sing out loud until you're eaten,
Song of melancholy blisss,
For the mighty and the middling
All shall come to THIS ...
The Supper is still singing. #Quote by Cressida Cowell
Song quotes by Dimebag Darrell
#135. Every song is different. #Quote by Dimebag Darrell

Song quotes by Dilip Bathija
#137. Dream without fear, love without limits, and let your life sing its song. #Quote by Dilip Bathija
Song quotes by Jane Wagner
#138. At the moment you are most in awe of all there is about life that you don't understand, you are closer to understanding it all than at any other time. #Quote by Jane Wagner
Song quotes by Alex Pareene
#139. The song 'Take This Job and Shove It' spent 18 weeks on the country charts in 1977. 1970s country music fans had a clearer understanding of the ennui of wage-slavery than modern elites. #Quote by Alex Pareene
Song quotes by Scott Weiland
#140. I really didn't get obsessed with Bowie until my freshman year in high school. I remember listening to 'Starman' and thinking it sounded like it was a song for kids, like a lullaby. The Thin White Duke is my favorite look that he created. #Quote by Scott Weiland
Song quotes by Georges Brassens
#141. It is for you this song
You, the stranger who, without fuss,
Though downtrodden yourself still smiled at me,
When the policemen took me off.

You who didn't join the applause when
The upper crust women and men
All the people with good intentions
Laughed to see me being led away.

It was merely a touch of honey
But it warmed my body through
And in my soul it burns on still
As the bright sun would do...

You, the stranger, when you will die
When the mortician bears you off
May he take you across the sky,
To the Father Eternal. #Quote by Georges Brassens
Song quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
#142. Now of old the name of that forest was Greenwood the Great, and its wide halls and aisles were the haunt of many beasts and of birds of bright song; and there was the realm of King Thranduil under the oak and the beech. #Quote by J.R.R. Tolkien
Song quotes by Sophie Kinsella
#143. If you're single, then I'm single? What's that supposed to be? Lyrics to a pop song? #Quote by Sophie Kinsella
Song quotes by Gerard Way
#144. Would you destroy Something perfect in order to make it beautiful? #Quote by Gerard Way
Song quotes by Barbara Demick
#145. As Mrs. Song would observe a decade later, when she thought back on all the people she knew who died during those years in Chongjin, it was the simple and kindhearted people who did what they were told
they were the first to die. #Quote by Barbara Demick
Song quotes by Vance Joy
#146. When I go to a gig and I hear a song that I really like, a song that hits home to me or hits an emotional nerve, if I could ever recreate that for someone, that would be the ultimate goal. #Quote by Vance Joy
Song quotes by Kate Bush
#147. Originally, when I wrote the song 'The Sensual World' I had used text from the end of 'Ulysses.' When I asked for permission to use the text, I was refused, which was disappointing. #Quote by Kate Bush
Song quotes by George R R Martin
#148. You can write the most detailed, vivid description of an ax entering a skull, and nobody will say a word in protest. But if you write a similarly detailed description of a penis entering a vagina, you get letters from people saying they'll never read you again. What the hell? Penises entering vaginas bring a lot more joy into the world than axes entering skulls. #Quote by George R R Martin
Song quotes by Joan Baez
#149. I wish it was clear for me how it happened [stop writing songs], then maybe I could start writing again. But it's kind of an "it." It just submerged itself. Because the way I had always written was just that it came out. It just happened. #Quote by Joan Baez
Song quotes by Meg Cabot
#150. What to Do During Algebra
O what to do during Algebra!
The possibilities are limitless:
There's drawing, and yawning,
and portable chess
There's dozing, and dreaming,
and feeling confused.
There's humming, and strumming,
and looking bemused.
You can stare at the clock.
You can hum a little song.
I've tried just about everything
to pass the time along. #Quote by Meg Cabot
Song quotes by LaShaun Middlebrooks Collier
#151. You were born with a song in the seat of your soul; let the life that you live be the singing of it. #Quote by LaShaun Middlebrooks Collier
Song quotes by Jonathan Tropper
#152. I'm not a fan of country music, but there's no better music to drive to. Turn the right song up loud enough on the Porsche's sound system and it will swallow you whole. The past is prelude and the future is a black hole, but right now, hurtling north across state lines for no particular reason, I have to say, it feels pretty good to be me. #Quote by Jonathan Tropper
Song quotes by John Daniel Thieme
#153. . . . This
is not the same river at my fingertips.
There are no paths, no sunken roads
familiar in the forest, by which we can
retrace our steps,
by which we can escape
by which we can reclaim and return,
or hear the child's song running in the timothy . . . #Quote by John Daniel Thieme
Song quotes by Adam Schlesinger
#154. If you're sitting in a place like Martha's Vineyard, I don't think you're going to write a song about a ski resort. #Quote by Adam Schlesinger
Song quotes by Matt Haig
#155. Everything in life is uncertain. That is how you know you are existing in the world, the uncertainty. Of course, this is why we sometimes want to return to the past, because we know it, or think we do. It's a song we've heard. #Quote by Matt Haig
Song quotes by Heather Huffman
#156. Rolling hills that had been vibrant green just weeks ago were now muted in tone, as if they were taking a deep breath before bursting into the song of fall. #Quote by Heather Huffman
Song quotes by Gylve Nagell
#157. I often think it's unfair to the listener and "too easy" to just choose one tempo while I make and decide the songs. #Quote by Gylve Nagell
Song quotes by Ingrid Michaelson
#158. Some of the songs I wanted to be really full, [but] there's something to be said for just a voice and a guitar #Quote by Ingrid Michaelson
Song quotes by Cameron Crowe
#159. What you believe one day isn't what you believe the next day and I think every writer secretly believes that they may never be able to do write good song or script again, but they can. #Quote by Cameron Crowe
Song quotes by Tove Jansson
#160. It's only the sea,' said Moomintroll. 'Every wave that dies on the beach sings a little song to a shell. But you mustn't go inside because it's a labyrinth and you may never come out again. #Quote by Tove Jansson
Song quotes by Pharrell Williams
#161. Artists are like messengers. A song is authored by you, but its interpretation is owned by other people. And you have no control over that. #Quote by Pharrell Williams

#162. I love Miranda Lambert; I think she's wonderful. I love the song 'Love Letters' and 'Famous in a Small Town.' #Quote by Patty Loveless
Song quotes by Faith Marie,
#163. No one seems to notice when you're down,
Unless you are bleeding,
Unless you are bleeding,
But sometimes the worst wounds,
Are the ones you can't see #Quote by Faith Marie, "NVM"
Song quotes by Lia Purpura
#164. Song I try to make the step-down call of the chickadee, but do it too insistently, over and over so it loses sense, the air going equally out and back, not slower in the opening, then quickening as the tight hinge retracts, but absolutely evenly, too even, the way one breathes and regulates breath for a doctor, to present the body's equanimity. There's a bird in a tree with a hinge in its throat, a door opening to let the sweet air pass from a high, thin place down a notch. There's phlox out there, opening between one black and another black, hanging branch of an apple tree - the very tree that holds the bird that bends the air so parenthetically around itself, and its song around anything listening. #Quote by Lia Purpura
Song quotes by Helen Boswell
#165. You got secrets you better keep
Take flight before she cuts you deep
- Sam's song #Quote by Helen Boswell
Song quotes by Virginia Postrel
#166. The mere existence of 'Buffy' proves the declinists wrong about one thing: Hollywood commercialism can produce great art. Complex and evolving characters. Playful language. Joy and sorrow, pathos and elation. Episodes that dare to be different - to tell stories in silence or in song. Big themes and terrible choices. #Quote by Virginia Postrel
Song quotes by Sarah Dessen
#167. In a perfect wedding- or world- you wanted the best possible beginning. Start in a high note and, no matter what song follows, chances are just better that it will be music to your ears. #Quote by Sarah Dessen
Song quotes by Diana Gabaldon
#168. Really rather fascinating, you know,' he confided, and I recognized, with an internal sigh, the song of the scholar, as identifying a sound as the terr-whit! of a thrush. #Quote by Diana Gabaldon
Song quotes by George Strait
#169. I get asked all the time, "What is a George Strait song?" I know it when I hear it. I don't seek a specific tempo or lyric or melody. It just has to make sense. Maybe it is natural because I was given the gift to sing. #Quote by George Strait
Song quotes by Darlene Zschech
#170. Worship is more than singing beautiful songs in church on a Sunday. It is more than instruments and music. As a true worshipper, your heart will long to worship Him at all times, in all ways and with all your life. #Quote by Darlene Zschech
Song quotes by Diane Di Prima
#171. Maketa Groves has a strong, bright lyric gift. Her poems come out of music and are full of music. They bring us the sounds of the streets and the sounds of nature, and make us see once again that they are parts of the same song. She celebrates American lives as they are lived today: the mother scrubbing her kitchen floor at midnight, the drag-queens in the Tenderloin, the homeless woman knitting in the courtyard. This is poetry that relentlessly shows us the beauty in the world, with all its struggles and complexity, and demands that we go out to meet it with open hearts. #Quote by Diane Di Prima
Song quotes by Michael Ellsberg
#172. Learning is available at the library for free; under a tree with a dog-eared paperback; at a job with a boss who gives you responsibility and mentorship; while traveling; while leading a cause, movement, or charity; while writing a novel or composing a poem or crafting a song; while interning, apprenticing, or volunteering; while playing a sport or immersing yourself in a language; while starting a business; and now, while watching a TED talk or taking a Khan Academy class ... #Quote by Michael Ellsberg
Song quotes by Terry Pratchett
#173. I F YOU WANT TO IMAGINE the future, imagine a boy and his dog and his friends. And a summer that never ends. And if you want to imagine the future, imagine a boot ... no, imagine a sneaker, laces trailing, kicking a pebble; imagine a stick, to poke at interesting things, and throw for a dog that may or may not decide to retrieve it; imagine a tuneless whistle, pounding some luckless popular song into insensibility; imagine a figure, half angel, half devil, all human ... Slouching hopefully towards Tadfield ... . ... forever. #Quote by Terry Pratchett
Song quotes by Salman Rushdie
#174. [My work] is a love song to our mongrel selves. #Quote by Salman Rushdie
Song quotes by M. Ward
#175. I wouldn't want to cover a Hank Williams song in a country-western way. It doesn't occur to me instinctually to re-create productions. I'm interested in re-creating songs. Putting different clothes on them. #Quote by M. Ward
Song quotes by Lucinda Williams
#176. Sometimes I might borrow something from a song I started a long time ago and see if I can grab something. #Quote by Lucinda Williams
Song quotes by Tim McGraw
#177. Beyond the picket fences and the oil wells, the happy endings, and the fairy tales, is the reality of shattered lives and broken dreams. We carry on. #Quote by Tim McGraw

Song quotes by Various
#182. There was once a bunny who lived by the ocean. Every day he would stroll along the sandy beach and pick up thoughts which had washed ashore. He would find them in shells, under rocks, and sometimes even tangled up in seaweed. "Oh, this is a good one," he would say, "We see chaos, but if we look carefully, if we look beneath the chaos, we find perfection." And into his bucket the thought would go. When the bunny had reached a ripe old age he gathered all the thoughts together and placed them carefully into a large silver cauldron heated by the fires of life. Using a straw broom, he stirred them thoroughly, and as he was stirring he listened carefully. Much to his surprise he heard the ocean singing a wordless song of incomparable beauty. The bunny closed his eyes and said, "Ah, it was all worth it."

Song quotes by Miranda Lambert
#183. Falling in love is awesome, but I'm never drawn to happy songs per se, so whenever you sit down to write a heartbreak song and you're happily in love, it's like, 'OK, now I have to go back to a sad place to get something good.' #Quote by Miranda Lambert
Song quotes by Linda Kage
#184. Sometimes, the Lord just takes blessed people because they've filled their purpose early. Everyone plays their own song. They sing their story to the world and leave behind a melody of memories. Sometimes ... their song is cut short and ends too early. But that doesn't mean their music was any less sweet or that they left any less of an impression. #Quote by Linda Kage
Song quotes by Pete Seeger
#185. I still prefer to hear [Bob] Dylan acoustic, some of his electric songs are absolutely great. Electric music is the vernacular of the second half of the twentieth century, to use my father's old term. #Quote by Pete Seeger
Song quotes by Madeline Miller
#186. He did not fear ridicule, he had never known it. #Quote by Madeline Miller
Song quotes by Serj Tankian
#187. Sometimes a good love song can change the world and create positive energy more than any political song can. #Quote by Serj Tankian
Song quotes by Mike Gordon
#188. I guess there are two things that make me like songs generally, of ours, and that is if they groove well, or if they have a jam that can go somewhere. #Quote by Mike Gordon
Song quotes by Frank Ocean
#189. The first four and a half years was me in the studio every day, writing songs for other people. I had jobs, too - eleven jobs. I worked at Kinko's, Fatburger, Subway - I was a sandwich artist - and I was a claims processor at Allstate Insurance. #Quote by Frank Ocean
Song quotes by Richard Brautigan
#190. New furniture has no character whereas old furniture always has a past. New furniture is always mute, but old furniture can almost talk. You can almost hear it talking about the good times and troubles it's seen. I think there is a Country and Western song about talking furniture, but I can't remember the name. #Quote by Richard Brautigan
Song quotes by Victor Hugo
#191. Let us be like a bird for a moment perched
On a frail branch when he sings;
Though he feels it bend, yet he sings his song,
Knowing that he has wings. #Quote by Victor Hugo
Song quotes by Kanye West
#192. And wouldn't change by the change, or the game, or the fame, when he came, in the game, he made his own name #Quote by Kanye West
Song quotes by Andy Summers
#193. As an artist, I move along in my life, into whatever things I'm doing, and I hear things where it's like, "Oh, that'd be a great [song] title! I'll use that!" So I keep a running list of titles on my computer. I've got these words and phrases that just sustained my interest. So I'm a step ahead, really, with the titling! #Quote by Andy Summers
Song quotes by Jordin Sparks
#194. When I go out clubbing I can dance 'til three o'clock in the morning with just a water bottle in my hand. I love dancing to anything with a good beat really. My favorite song to dance to at the moment is probably Drake's 'Best I Ever Had.' #Quote by Jordin Sparks
Song quotes by Blake Shelton
#195. Come a little closer, love the way you look tonight
My eyes are the only thing I don't wanna take off of you #Quote by Blake Shelton
Song quotes by Debasish Mridha
#196. My little heart, my little girl.
Dance with Daddy; dance, my pearl.
Hold my hand; dance with your feet.
Sing a little song; dance with the beat.
Dance with a smile; sing with joy.
Dance like a peacock; sing like a toy.
Dance with love; sing with kindness.
Life will be blissful, full with happiness.
Dance with Daddy; dance, my pearl.
My little heart, my little girl. #Quote by Debasish Mridha
Song quotes by Tom Stoppard
#197. Real data is messy ... It's all very noisy out there. Very hard to spot the tune. Like a piano in the next room, it's playing your song, but unfortunately it's out of whack, some of the strings are missing, and the pianist is tone deaf and drunk- I mean, the noise! Impossible! #Quote by Tom Stoppard
Song quotes by Pierce The Veil
#198. And god damit,
I can barely say your name,
So I'll try to write it,
And fill the pen with blood from the sink. #Quote by Pierce The Veil
Song quotes by Taryn Manning
#199. The Wreckoning is a darker song. But the record is positive. #Quote by Taryn Manning
Song quotes by Jessa Callaver
#200. Music makes promises to the heart that no
mere song could ever fulfill. #Quote by Jessa Callaver
