#songs

The most entertaining songs don't always come from a nice place. In songs where I think I'm being really sensitive, they seem quite boring actually. I've found that the songs that come out of nastier, more misanthropic places are better. ↗

My sense of proprietorship has been so weak that actually I didn't pay attention and I lost the copyrights on a lot of the songs. ↗

I wanted to be a cheerleader, like my sister was - all the most popular and beautiful girls are cheerleaders and I wanted that, and it demolished this vision of myself. That's when I found the piano, when music saved me; that's when I first attempted to write my own songs. ↗

I'm a songwriter who's put my childhood memories and teenage angst into songs. ↗

I don't dream songs. I'm more apt to write dreams down and then to be able to interpret them into a song. I also tend to get up and write prose in the morning from which will come songs. ↗

— Judy Collins

I don't know where my songs come from... If I knew, I'd know too much, more than we are allowed on this plane. ↗
