I listen to everything and find parts about a song in the lyrics/melody/chords/production that I like and can be inspired by when I write my next song.

Astrid S

I'm a perfectionist, so everything I put out needs to be, like, 100 percent. So when it comes to releasing things on my YouTube channel, I triple-quadruple check it before I post it because this has got to be ready for the amount of people who are going to be watching, for sure.

Christina Grimmie

My production got better, songs, lyrics, everything; the sound, the quality, everything.

Ty Dolla Sign

Because I write the music, I write the lyrics, I write the vocal melody lines - I write everything. Just because I let somebody sing something doesn't mean they're more important than the bass player or the keyboard player or the drummer.

Yngwie Malmsteen

I try to focus on the melodies and try to make everything else minimal. The melody and the lyrics are most important to me.

Sharon Van Etten

I've put everything I had and I've given my readers 120 percent, and that's the truth.

Jan Karon

I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and I want to give 100 percent to everything.

Sarah McLachlan

Usually what I do is I write my vocal melody over guitar parts and then I come up with lyrics.

Hope Sandoval

[Opetaia Foa'i] brought in the melody and the lyrics, but the lyrics were in Tokelauan, and so, we talked about what it could mean and whether this could be the ancestor song. So, I started writing English lyrics to sort of the same melody.

Lin-Manuel Miranda

Hindi film songs are the best of everything - whether it is lyrics, melody and talented singers.

Badshah

I am a perfectionist but I know how to live life. When I'm working, it's 100%. When I'm with my friends, I put everything away and enjoy life. When I come home to my kids, it's pure joy and everything's worth it. Every time, I really focus 100 percent on one thing. I've learned how to juggle my life and I feel like now I have the perfect balance.

Monique Lhuillier

I think if Unchained Melody does what I think it can do, I think there is an audience out there that would heave a sigh of relief, that finally there is a melody and orchestration, production and a vocalist that is giving them a song that they can just listen to... and not be annoyed by the vocal acrobatics that vocalists seem to think is impressive.

Barry Manilow

Hunter can write a melody and stuff like that, but his forte is lyrics. He can write a serviceable melody to hang his lyrics on, and sometimes he comes up with something really nice.

Jerry Garcia

I'm more of a perfectionist. I need to be sure everything is exactly where I would want it.

Spencer Krug

Lyrics are what I tend to tear hair out over and they're where I tend to feel weak musically, if I'm being very honest. It is not something I feel like I know anything about; I would not consider myself a writer. I just want to sing, I just want to sing a melody, I just want to feel a melody, and be part of the song, and everything else is not so important.
