“Basically it takes me very little time to write a song. If I find myself taking more than an hour to do it I usually forget it, and try something else. I like to work quickly; I never like to waste any time. I never write half a song and come back to it later at all. It all has to be done at once. I lose interest if it doesn't.” IfsWritingTryingLittlesDoneSongInterestHoursLosesForgetHalfWasteTake MeForget ItLittle Time Author:Bernie Taupin

“Someone once said that "The Waste Land" was a scum of poetry floating on a sea of footnotes. That resonated with me, because that's kind of what I was doing lyrically for a while. I was being very referential in a way. I would drop in these little phrases or ideas that were sort of portholes into a whole bigger realm of thought or whatever, that would work within the song, but that you could also poke through into a bigger discussion.” WayKindLittlesSaidIdeasWholeSongSeaLandWasteBiggerDiscussionPhrasesRealmsFloatingPokeScumFootnotesWaste Land Author:Ted Leo

“To-day I think Only with scents, - scents dead leaves yield, And bracken, and wild carrot's seed, And the square mustard field; Odours that rise When the spade wounds the root of tree, Rose, currant, raspberry, or goutweed, Rhubarb or celery; The smoke's smell, too, Flowing from where a bonfire burns The dead, the waste, the dangerous, And all to sweetness turns. It is enough To smell, to crumble the dark earth, While the robin sings over again Sad songs of Autumn mirth." - A poem called DIGGING.” ThinkingEnoughEarthSongTurnsDarkTreeDangerousFieldsWasteRootsRoseSmellSeedsWoundsSmokeAutumnYieldSquaresScentSweetnessDiggingRobinsMirthCarrotsSpadesMustardBonfireSad SongRaspberriesCelery Book:Selected Poems of Edward Thomas Source: Selected Poems of Edward Thomas
“Seasons may change winter to spring, but I love you until the end of time Come what may, come what may, I will love you until my dying day Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace Suddenly my life doesn’t seem such a waste, it all revolves around you. And there’s no mountain too high no river too wide Sing out this song and I’ll be there by your side Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide But I love you until the end of time” WorldMayEndsSeemsMovingSongStarsSidesPerfectGraceDyingLove YouMountainWasteSpringRiversSeasonsWinterCloudsStormWideEnd TimesYour SideCollideRougeWinter To SpringStorm Clouds Author:Ewan McGregor
