Hear the voice of the Bard!
Who Present, Past, & Future sees
Whose ears have heard,
The Holy Word,
That walk'd among the ancient trees.

Calling the lapsed Soul
And weeping in the evening dew:
That might controll,
The starry pole;
And fallen fallen light renew!

O Earth O Earth return!
Arise from out the dewy grass;
Night is worn,
And the morn
Rises from the slumberous mass.

Turn away no more:
Why wilt thou turn away
The starry floor
The watry shore
Is giv'n thee till the break of day.

- "Introduction to the Songs of Experience ~ William Blake
Basia Songs quotes by William Blake
I think [game music] is something that should last with the player. It's interesting because it can't just be some random music, but something that can make its way into the player's heart. In that sense, this not only applies to game music, but I feel very strongly about composing songs that will leave a lasting impressionWhat I must not forget is that it must be entertaining to those who are listening. I don't think there's much else to it, to be honest. I don't do anything too audacious, so as long as the listeners like it, or feel that it's a really great song, then I've done my job. ~ Yasunori Mitsuda
Basia Songs quotes by Yasunori Mitsuda
I try to sing many different kinds of songs. If I sing a batch of humorous songs, I'll throw in a deadly serious song. Or if I'm singing too many serious songs, I'll throw in a ridiculous song, to mix it up. ~ Pete Seeger
Basia Songs quotes by Pete Seeger
As time goes by, I realize that I do trust the wind. And I often write my songs for myself. ~ David Friedman
Basia Songs quotes by David Friedman
Dan Harmon has this idea that characters on TV are allowed to talk about their favorite movies and TV shows and songs. ~ Gillian Jacobs
Basia Songs quotes by Gillian Jacobs
Queen songs tend to be about very personal things: personal dreams and personal ambitions. ~ Brian May
Basia Songs quotes by Brian May
Obviously songs and musicians mean a lot to people. ~ Stephen Malkmus
Basia Songs quotes by Stephen Malkmus
I don't write songs for myself anymore. I only write songs on assignment. It's purely a business, but it is still so important to me emotionally. ~ Alan Menken
Basia Songs quotes by Alan Menken
You couldn't listen to sweet songs about injustice unless you expected justice and received it much of the time. You couldn't sing songs about the end of the world unless-like the other people in that room, so beautiful with such simple things: African mats on the floor and African hangings on the wall and spears and masks-you felt that the world was going on and you were safe in it. How easy it was, in that room, to make those assumptions! ~ V.S. Naipaul
Basia Songs quotes by V.S. Naipaul
We all sang the songs of peace ~ Melanie
Basia Songs quotes by Melanie
I have a lot of creative control, so I can decide what I want to wear, what I want my brand to look like, what I want my songs to sound like, so I don't sound like some fake artist that people can't relate to. ~ Daya
Basia Songs quotes by Daya
I try to create songs that are really massive and intense, but at the same time remaining honest and raw. ~ Zola Jesus
Basia Songs quotes by Zola Jesus
Music was never just a hobby for me. I'd pick up a guitar every day to work on whatever I was writing at the time. I would put my ideas in songs the way some people might put them in diaries or journals. ~ Tracy Chapman
Basia Songs quotes by Tracy Chapman
I was in a band at school, and almost from the day we started, I started writing songs, just because that seemed what you did. ~ Jamie Lawson
Basia Songs quotes by Jamie Lawson
I had a head for religious ideas. They were the first ideas I ever encountered. They made other ideas seem mean ... I had miles of Bible in memory: some perforce, but most by hap, like the words to songs. There was no corner of my brain where you couldn't find, among the files of clothing labels and heaps of rocks, among the swarms of protozoans and shelves of novels, whole tapes and snarls and reels of Bible. ~ Annie Dillard
Basia Songs quotes by Annie Dillard
You can drink pickle juice and imitate gorillas and do silly dances and sing stupid songs and wear funny hats and be as imperfect as you please and still be a good person. Good people are hard to find nowadays. And they're a lot more fun than perfect people any day of the week. ~ Stephen Manes
Basia Songs quotes by Stephen Manes
I didn't write those songs, but I can relate to every one of them ... I have. ~ Joss Stone
Basia Songs quotes by Joss Stone
There must be a law if there is to be liberty. Try to play a piano and you will run into laws as fixed as the decrees of the Medes and Persians. But through those statutes you reach the songs, drudgery leads to delight. The law of Christ brings the liberty of Christ. Keep His statutes, and they become songs. The other side of commandment is conquest. What seems restraint to the outsider means release to you. ~ Adrian Rogers
Basia Songs quotes by Adrian Rogers
I remember writing 'All I Want Is You' and hoping it would get me out of trouble. I haven't stopped writing songs or getting into trouble since. ~ Cheyenne Kimball
Basia Songs quotes by Cheyenne Kimball
You don't really hear a female perspective on the radio, because so many of the songs are being written by men. ~ Shirley Manson
Basia Songs quotes by Shirley Manson
I don't remember the song she sang – I never really liked her songs – but standing in the empty concert hall, listening to her sing without backing music, with no support of any kind, I found that the sheer beauty of the voice, it's monumental dose of soul, the pain implicit within it, bypassed all my conscious opinions, my critical intelligence or sense of the sentimental, or whatever it is that people are referring to when they talk about their own "good taste," going instead straight into my spine, where it convulsed a muscle and undid me. ~ Zadie Smith
Basia Songs quotes by Zadie Smith
I think that I've got some pretty bad reviews on albums or songs that later proved themselves. ~ Carly Simon
Basia Songs quotes by Carly Simon
Nothing is ever finished. It's a funny thing. I actually think that's really the more natural way of stories or songs. ~ Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Basia Songs quotes by Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Brutality is boring. Over and over, hell night after hell night, the same old dumb, tedious, bestial routine: making men crawl; making men groan, hanging men from the bars; shoving men; slapping men; freezing men in the showers; running men into walls; displaying shackled fathers to their sons and sons to their fathers. And if it turned out that you'd been given the wrong man, when you were done making his life unforgettably small and nasty, you allowed him to be your janitor and pick up the other prisoners' trash.
There was always another prisoner, and another. Faceless men under hoods: you stripped them of their clothes, you stripped them of their pride. There wasn't much more you could take away from them, but people are inventive: one night some soldiers took a razor to one of Saddam's former general in Tier 1A and shaved off his eyebrows. He was an old man. "He looked like a grandfather and seemed like a nice guy," Sabrina Harman said, and she had tried to console him, telling him he looked younger and slipping him a few cigarettes. Then she had to make him stand at attention facing a boom box blasting the rapper Eminem, singing about raping his mother, or committing arson, or sneering at suicides, something like that⁠ - these were some of the best-selling songs in American history.
"Eminem is pretty much torture all in himself, and if one person's getting tortured, everybody is, because that music's horrible," Harman said. The general maintained his bearing a ~ Philip Gourevitch
Basia Songs quotes by Philip Gourevitch
I don't doubt love for a second. I'm living for love. Listen to my songs! ~ Madonna Ciccone
Basia Songs quotes by Madonna Ciccone
Great songs don't grow on trees, yet lots of songs have been written on great trees ~ Benny Bellamacina
Basia Songs quotes by Benny Bellamacina
I've written a lot of wordy, erudite, pretentious songs, but believe it or not, I'm usually doing my damnedest to resist the temptation to be overly "clever," and trying to keep things as accessible - and singable - as possible. ~ Peter Blegvad
Basia Songs quotes by Peter Blegvad
Well the country songs themselves are three-chord stories, ballads which are mostly sad. If you are already feeling sorry for yourself when you listen to them they will take you to an even sadder place. ~ Willie Nelson
Basia Songs quotes by Willie Nelson
I think when we were starting out, it was more about imitating our songwriting heroes. We would try to write songs like Neil Finn, or we would try to write songs like Ray Davies, or we would try to write songs like Glenn Tilbrook. ~ Adam Schlesinger
Basia Songs quotes by Adam Schlesinger
Death pulls people from our spaces so often and we accept it as our final payment for having been here and having lived, however big or small. We don't always have time to notice how things have changed in the absence of some of them. But then death pulls away someone we love, and we find that time. In here, we notice everything; growing grass and fingernails, and songs that end in a minor key. We are too sad to do anything else but watch a clock, applying seconds, minutes, and hours to the trauma and the lacerations. Time, the forever healer, they say. We find the time to wonder how everyone else is moving on, around our paralyzed selves. Ourselves unsure of roads and trees and birds and things. It all blurs and words aren't words anymore. We find the time to attempt to figure a way to rethink everything we thought about this world and why we came to it. ~ Darnell Lamont Walker
Basia Songs quotes by Darnell Lamont Walker
The type of music I like to sing is really those classic songs, those Barbara Streisand, Celine Dion, Frank Sinatra, classics. ~ Jacob Lusk
Basia Songs quotes by Jacob Lusk
The orchestra's an amazing instrument, but I don't want to just arrange my songs for it. I think that might be kind of boring and a little bit overdramatic, perhaps. I'm still just having too much fun doing it my way, for the time being. ~ Andrew Bird
Basia Songs quotes by Andrew Bird
I'll never be bothered if I don't have a hit because you look at the songs that are hits and they're none of my favourites. Just the fact that we do have fans waiting here, that's exciting enough. ~ Bert McCracken
Basia Songs quotes by Bert McCracken
A lot of the songs I've recorded are songs I write. ~ Joan Jett
Basia Songs quotes by Joan Jett
Writing songs does not get any easier, and that might be because I am harder on myself than I was twenty years ago. Hopefully, as we grow older and change, there are fresh topics, new perspectives, or at least there should be. ~ Dean Wareham
Basia Songs quotes by Dean Wareham
'Unbreakable Smile' was based off one of the songs I wrote for the album - it was actually the first song I wrote for the album without realizing it yet. I think I wanted to name the album that because it seemed like that was just the theme of that chapter in my life and just the theme of all the songs put together. ~ Tori Kelly
Basia Songs quotes by Tori Kelly
And they beat. The women for having known them and no more, no more; the children for having been them but never again. They killed a boss so often and so completely they had to bring him back to life to pulp him one more time. Tasting hot mealcake among pine trees, they beat it away. Singing love songs to Mr. Death, they smashed his head. More than the rest, they killed the flirt whom folks called Life for leading them on. ~ Toni Morrison
Basia Songs quotes by Toni Morrison
Sang in tones of deep emotion Songs of love and songs of longing. ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Basia Songs quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I'm not a very spiritual guy when it comes to music. I remember hearing Carlos Santana say that angels helped him write his songs. And I thought, 'Really, angels?' ~ Chris Isaak
Basia Songs quotes by Chris Isaak
It's just like intuition. Intuition speaks to each of us in whatever way we can hear it: Through songs on the radio or images that flash in our minds. Someone says exactly the right thing at the right time. Answers to prayers make instant sense or they come in clues we have to decipher, just like in a scavenger hunt. ~ Jan Henrikson
Basia Songs quotes by Jan Henrikson
It's always good to go from a heavy song to a softer one. It helps having the attention of the audience for the whole show - three hours of the same songs for the whole show is boring. ~ Neige
Basia Songs quotes by Neige
I have decided long ago that my songs and ballads would not get the hugs and kisses of the capitalistic experts. ~ Woody Guthrie
Basia Songs quotes by Woody Guthrie
I write songs about what I go through. ~ Taylor Swift
Basia Songs quotes by Taylor Swift
I feel people are seeing me as a true artist rather than a singer, or an entertainer, or a girl who just makes songs. ~ Alessia Cara
Basia Songs quotes by Alessia Cara
