“There are times when I want to be plainspoken about my feelings in a song. But there are other times when it's really good to try and get my head around different kinds of song structures, or maybe I might get turned on by trying to write a song that would fit in this one scene in a movie. And by the end of all this, you just end up with a bunch of different ideas. And songs are really just ideas.” WantWritingTryingKindIdeasDifferentEndsFeelingsMightSongFitSceneStructureBunchDifferent KindsDifferent Ideas Author:Ryan Adams
“I got on the phone with the president of my label and I said, "Obviously, I write songs in a lot of styles and play a lot of different kinds of music. We're getting toward the end of our business collaboration. If you could envision a record that you wanted to hear from me, what kind of record would it be?" It wasn't like asking him to fill an order, it was really just a conversation. For all the things I'd ever asked him, this was one thing I'd never asked, and I don't know why. So I was curious. And the thing that he was most interested in hearing was a solo record.” IfsKnowsWritingKindSaidDifferentEndsPlayWantedSongOrderPresidentRecordsOne ThingStyleConversationAskingPhonesHearingCuriousLabelsCollaborationDifferent KindsSoloDifferent Kinds Of Music Author:Ryan Adams

“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
