“I have always struggled with expressing emotion, I used to think I was a very hard person but music has shown me I'm a big softy! Writing songs to me really is like writing a diary, it's very private and very personal. My most emotional songs have been written alone in a locked room, I'm able to express myself there.” ThinkingWritingSongEmotionEmotional Author:Roxanne Emery
“A lot of Gorillaz songs were very personal. I mean, that's why it was interesting, because it wasn't music being made for a cartoon. It was something different. It was a much more emotional affair. I wasn't necessarily thinking in the third-person then.” ThinkingMeanDifferentSongInterestingEmotionalMusic IsAffairCartoon Author:Damon Albarn
“I'm really happy that people are starting to hear my band, and we are so happy to be conduits for all this other happiness, and this emotional response. So, I can't be like, "that doesn't matter to me, I'm an artist, I exist apart from that!" But on the other hand, if you buy into that too much, you're setting yourself up... if I start thinking, "well, people at the show really liked one song, maybe I should write more songs like that," then I'm in trouble.” PeopleThinkingWritingArtistSongTroubleEmotionalResponseReally Happy Author:Carey Mercer
“Writing the songs is always emotional and most of the vocals on there are the first three takes from the demos, because they give so much more. You're in that moment, so it speaks for itself.” GivingWritingMomentsSongSpeakEmotional Author:Tove Lo
“I've tended to write lyrics alone. The emotion of the melody comes first. But what stimulates us are usually these dreamy minor chords. We all feel we're an emotional band as far as writing, but the specific emotions tend to be of a melancholic, or of an almost sinister-yet-beautiful nature. I never think of our songs as being about boy-girl relationships or ultra-female. The music comes from a universal place.” ThinkingWritingSongEmotionEmotionalMelody Author:Stella Mozgawa
“The mall tour was right off of my second record, before it came out. It was very different. I did an acoustic performance every day in a different mall!

“You could write a song about some kind of emotional problem you are having, but it would not be a good song, in my eyes, until it went through a period of sensitivity to a moment of clarity.

“We can't forget what happened on May 4th, 1970, when four students gave up their lives because they had the American constitutional right of peaceful protest. They gave up their lives. And to sing that song in that spot on that anniversary was very emotional for us.” MaySongForgetFourHappenedStudentsEmotionalSpotsPeacefulProtestGave UpAnniversaryPeaceful Protest Author:Graham Nash
“Madonna can still produce a catchy pop song, but she hasn't expanded her artistic vocabulary since the 1990s. Her concerts are glitzy extravaganzas of special effects overkill.
