It blows me away the number of truck drivers or macho guys that will call, and then I start peeling back the layers, and I find out they've been listening to me for 10 or 15 years, and they know every lyric to every sappy song.

When I was a postdoc, I jotted every fresh thought on a three-by-five card and kept them in a card catalogue.

Randy Schekman

I've wanted to do a Christmas song for years but thought every lyric and melody had been written.

Limahl

Every single lyric I've ever written I meant.

John Lydon

I'm in love with the way that Ella Fitzgerald delivered a lyric. She would deliver a lyric with the kind of clarity that would make you wonder why it was written, and make you think about the writer. I think every writer hopes an Ella of any genre or anytime gets a hold of their work and works the song like that.

Lizz Wright

You're every love song ever written.

Rod Stewart

The most amazing thing is being onstage and watching the audience sing every song lyric for lyric.

Andra Day

I'm a real stickler for a great lyric, or what I think is a great lyric. It's almost impossible for me to sing a song I don't love. My thing is: If it's a great lyric, you can do anything with the song.

Sara Evans

For me, a song doesn't really take flight until it has a lyric on it. ...Without a lyric that I'm happy with, it could be the greatest song ever melodically or arrangement-wise, but it doesn't have any resonance.

Ben Gibbard

I think every revolutionary act is an act of love. Every song that I've written, it is because of my desire to use music as a way to empower and re-humanize people who are living in a dehumanizing setting. The song is in order to better the human condition.

Zack de la Rocha

I always think of each night as a song. Or each moment as a song. But now I'm seeing we don't live in a single song. We move from song to song, from lyric to lyric, from chord to chord. There is no ending here. It's an infinite playlist.

David Levithan

Of all the songs that I've written since I was 15 or 16, every song is different every song is special, it happens in a different way and I like that.

Neil Diamond

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

There's political content in almost every song we've ever written on some level. It colors everything.

Aaron Dessner

Just trying to get to know what director Bill Condon wanted. He's a great director and knows exactly what he wants. He knew every lyric to every song; knew where a handicap was.

Damon Thomas

Every single song I've ever written is sung by a character created by somebody else. Some might have a jaundiced view of love, some don't. But none of these songs is me singing - not a single one.

Stephen Sondheim
