“Whenever I get a chance, I still find a song I can still relate to. I was in my early 20s when (the Uncle Tupelo) songs were written. As the years go by, it gets a little harder to relate to songs that were written so long ago.”
Jay Farrar
“There's no insecurity about my song writing. I start a lot more songs than I finish, because I realize when I get into them, they're no good. I don't throw them away, I just put them away, store them, get them out of sight.”
Johnny Cash
“If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”
J.R.R. Tolkien
“Song writing is about getting the demon out of me. It's like being possessed. You try to go to sleep, but the song won't let you. So you have to get up and make it into something, and then you're allowed to sleep.”
John Lennon
“I've never written a political song. Songs can't save the world. I've gone through all that.”
Bob Dylan
“I'm a country songwriter and we write cry-in-your-beer songs. That's what we do. Something that you can slow dance to.”
Willie Nelson
“Always keep a song in your heart - it's like karaoke for the voices in your head”
Robert Fulton Abernethy
