“I love writing songs. I love doing my radio show and talking to the fans and listening to what they have to say, but there's a certain responsibility that comes along with being given the gift of music. I take that seriously, but at the same time I try to use it to do something that makes a difference in a positive way.” WayWritingTryingUseShowsCertainSongGivenDifferencesResponsibilityTalkingFansListeningRadioMaking A DifferenceWriting Songs Author:Randy Owen
“I always tell people I write songs, but I'm a writer. It's a difference. I can write songs to music, but I can write a story. I can see ideas spark in me.” PeopleWritingI CanIdeasStoriesSongDifferencesSparks Author:Ester Dean

“We may exist in all universes, but 'hear' only one because of our limitations, the valve of our desires, our practical, physical needs. All is vibration, with nothing vibrating across no distance whatsoever. All is music. A universe, a world, is just one long difficult song.

“Being singer is different than being an actor, where you call up sources from your own experience that you can apply to whatever Shakespeare drama you're in. But an actor is pretending to be somebody, a singer isn't. And that's the difference. Singers today have to sing songs where there's very little emotion involved. That and the fact that they have to sing hit records from years gone by doesn't leave a lot of room for any kind of intelligent creativity.” YearsKindLittlesDifferentFactsTodaySongActorsDifferencesRoomsEmotionCreativityGoneRecordsSourceInvolvedDramaIntelligentSingersPretendingYears Gone By Author:Bob Dylan
“There are more similarities than differences when it comes to preparation of a performance. You're using some lyrics, you have a relationship with them, they apply to different parts of your life and different circumstances, different memories, different stories you have in your head. You form personal relationships with the song. I think that's very similar, in a way, to prepping a character. You pour your own personality, in a sense, into the character, you sympathize with a character in a way that's similar to the way you might sympathize with a song.” ThinkingWayDifferentCharacterStoriesMightFormSongDifferencesMemoriesPersonalityCircumstancesPerformancesPreparationSimilarityPersonal Relationships Author:Scarlett Johansson
“That is the difference between a good song and a bad song lyrically - if you can listen to it and put yourself in that place, or see that person in that place, normally it is a pretty good song.” IfsPersonsSongDifferences Author:Ne-Yo
