Very
Itself

Studio

- Alessia Cara
Expression
Feels
If you're writing anything decent, it's in you, it's your spirit coming out. If it's not an expression of how a person genuinely feels, then it's not a good song done with any conviction.

Always
Including
Every song I write, including 'Too Close,' always starts on the guitar.

- Alison Gopnik
Thought
Songwriting

Mistake

Beautiful
Very
'Can You See' is a beautiful song that follows a story of the star. It's a very inspirational song.
- Ally Brooke

Through

- Alma Gluck
Very
Stories
We must have song and dance in our lives; we've had it ever since the inception of cinema in India. Our stories are very social-based, very human-based. We are a very emotional nation.

Means
Apply

- Amy Grant
Love
Wrote
The song 'Baby Baby,' I so love that song because I wrote it about my first daughter.

- Amy Grant
Myself
Listening
How we absorb music is unique. I know what I do. When I'm listening to music, I tend to find myself in a song. That's what really makes you connect is if you feel what that song is saying.

Role
Good Song

Happen

I Write

- Amy Winehouse
Hope
Maybe
I wanna do a song with Adele! Nobody gets Adele as a feature, so maybe I can. I hope she knows who I am!
- Anderson Paak
Over
Very
I tell people all the time - I'm a very spiritual person, so I pray over everything that I do including creating music, a new song.
- Andra Day
Music
Pop
I try to not go, 'I'm writing a pop song.' Music is inherently genre-bending.
- Andra Day
Audience
Most Amazing
The most amazing thing is being onstage and watching the audience sing every song lyric for lyric.
- Andra Day
Gift
Think
'Rise Up' is definitely my baby. I think it was a gift because, you know, it's like God just spoke to me and wrote that song. It's very powerful.
- Andra Day
Never
Before
I'd never written a song before 'The Blood'; I didn't know it was going to be a song.
- Andrae Crouch
Love
Very
I love a song that will usher in the very presence of God. Then there's no Andrae; there's no fabulous band, there's no greatness of ours. I've had hundreds of concerts like that, and that's what I try to achieve.
- Andrae Crouch
Next
Recorder
Every single morning, I have a person sitting right there next to me in prayer with a tape recorder - and a song comes up every day.

Very
Because, in opera, I have to sing for people that are very far from me, instead of, when I sing a song, I try to imagine to sing like in an ear of a child.

Love
Listening
A love song must respect the canons of music beauty, entering the fibers of those who are listening. It must make them dream and pleasantly introduce them to the universe of love.
- Andrea Bocelli
Art
Like
To sing a song is like whispering to a child's ear. It is an art heavily relying on improvisation.
- Andrea Bocelli
Play
Within
All the folks I play with come from jazz backgrounds or at least appreciate spontaneity within the parameters of a pop song.
- Andrew Bird
Okay
Greek
I create little challenges for myself, like, 'Okay, whatever you do in this song, you've got to somehow work in Greek Cypriots,' or something like that.
- Andrew Bird
Composer
Good Song
I'm a composer, and therefore I know when I've written a good tune. When you've written a good song is when you know that the lyric is completely coalesced with the song.
- Andrew Lloyd Webber
Work
Night
You can't just sort of come with, say, 'Yesterday,' or 'A Hard Day's Night,' and it be in the wrong place in the wrong show, and expect the song to work theatrically.
- Andrew Lloyd Webber
Fact
Need
The fact is that 'The Wizard Of Oz' has never really worked in the theatre. The film has one or two holes where, in the theatre, you need a song. For example, there's nothing for either of the two witches to sing.
- Andrew Lloyd Webber
