“I wrote 'Actor' all on the computer. I didn't touch any instruments until I was in the studio. So while I had all these ornate arrangements, I didn't have any songs.” SongActorsComputerInstrumentsStudiosArrangements Author:St. Vincent
“If you are any competent musician, if you have creative ideas, ideas of songs, of arrangements, in a band like the Stones, where these 2 people do all the things, there is no freedom.” PeopleIfsIdeasSongCreativeBandMusicianStonesArrangementsCompetentCreative Ideas Author:Bill Wyman
“When I perform in front of large audiences, I'm much more comfortable, because I've already performed in front of tiny audiences - which is much harder, honestly. The smaller you strip things down, the more you depend on the songs and yourself, as opposed to arrangements.” SongAudienceFrontsDependsComfortableHarderTinyHonestlyArrangements Author:Alicia Keys

“People talk about Frank Sinatra all the time - and they should talk about Frank - but he had the greatest arrangers. They worked for him in a different kind of way than they worked for other people. They gave him arrangements that are just sublime on every level. And he, of course, could match that because he had this ability to get inside of the song in a sort of a conversational way. Frank sang to you, not at you, like so many pop singers today. Even singers of standards.” PeopleWayShouldKindDifferentTodaySongCoursesAbilityLevelsStandardsPopsSingersDifferent KindsFrankArrangementsSublime Author:Bob Dylan
