“And religious music and the sort of symbolism of it and everything. But I had this idea. Actually, I sort of dreamt it. I woke up - just before waking up one morning, I sort of dreamt this song or the idea of it and the first little bit of it. And I jumped out of bed and I thought, well, you're still asleep.

I feel like this song was probably done in a couple of minutes in a studio.” FeelsDoeDoneSongComedyHeardMinutesCoupleApproachHappeningsYeahStudiosScreensMaterialismCaptureSignals80sJuvenile Author:Margaret Cho
“I feel like this song [Yello, "Oh Yeah"] was probably done in a couple of minutes in a studio. There was probably no thought behind it; they were just playing with some samples and threw it together. I feel like there's no dream behind the song. Usually there's a dream or some kind of passion attached to a song. This song feels very empty. It made a lot of money for the songwriters but at the expense of culture.” FeelsKindMadeDoneDreamTogetherSongCulturePassionBehindsMinutesCoupleEmptyYeahStudiosExpensesLots Of MoneySongwritersSample Author:Margaret Cho

“There is a lot of fun to be had when you try and fit as many words as you can within a three-minute song, but there is also a lot of fun in trying to get that message across in three words, or better yet when the music can overpower the words and convey something really pure and perfect that affects our psycho-emotional space.” TryingSpiritSongThreeFunSimplePerfectMinutesFitPureMessagesLiftsThree Words Author:Saul Williams
