Top Great Song Lyrics Quotes

Great Song Lyrics Quotes By Brian Chippendale

Just because I said lyrics are a sign of the inability to sing doesn't mean ... A) I believe that, or B) I don't think they're cool. They are cool. Words are great.

In the process of playing they have more emotional impact as notes then an actual word. — Brian Chippendale

Great Song Lyrics Quotes By Carmen Ejogo

I dabbled a little bit in the whole music thing but I've always thought about Bernie Taupin, who is Elton John's lyricist; Elton John is the great melody and song writer but Bernie Taupin is the one who writes all the lyrics.

Great Song Lyrics Quotes By Don Henley

Lennon's was one of the first voices I emulated when I began to sing. When we held tryouts in my pal's dad's living room for the singer in our band, I sang a Beatles song that Lennon sang.

And the boyishness, in the beginning. There are a great many things that touch me about him ... Lennon was, to put it in his own words, a 'working-class hero.' — Don Henley
