There is no formula to it. Writing every song is a little journey. The first note has to lift you.

Enya

There is no formula to it because writing every song, for me, is a little journey. The first note has to lift you and make you go, 'What's this?' You play C, but why is it that one day it leads to G and it didn't yesterday? I don't know. It's everything. It's the walk you take in the morning, it's the night before, the meeting with people, landscapes, the chats, all of that evolves in some way into melody, but I'm not sure how it's going to happen. I'm dealing with the unknown all the time and that is exciting.

Here's a little song I wrote. You might want to sing it note for note. Don't worry, be happy.

Bobby McFerrin

Here's a little song I wrote You might want to sing it note for note Don't worry, be happy In every life we have some trouble But when you worry you make it double Don't worry, be happy Don't worry, be happy now

Bobby McFerrin

When I first start writing a song, I usually write the title first, then the song, and I'll sing the song in my head and think of a visual of the song. If I can't think of a visual behind the song, I'll throw the song away.

La'Porsha Renae

To take a journey of a thousand miles, you have to begin with the first step from the place where you stand; the romantic description of the journey and the things the body sees on the way and the description of the scenery are of no use unless you lift your foot and take the first step.

I love writing every song I can like a little mini movie. I like to have a character, or some characters, and really paint a picture with the song.

Dolly Parton

When I listen to little fourth-dimension artifacts, they're like they were made as time capsules in the first place. You know that when you're writing the song and recording the song, you're already sending a message to the future listener, whoever and wherever and whenever that will be.

Will Oldham

Sometimes when you're writing a song, it's work, and you really have to make sure you're kind of pounding out every little piece of it. And then sometimes you write a song, and you turn around and you go, 'How did we do that?'

Matthew Ramsey

Sometimes you're writing a song and you have an image whilst writing a song. I don't think you ever base a songwriting process around a video, but when you're writing a song sometimes it'll be a very visual song.

Luke Hemmings

Every song becomes an emotional journey for me, and only then will the soul of the song remain honest.

Anirudh Ravichander

Writing a love song when I was 19 is very different than writing a love song when I'm 25. You're more sophisticated; you can elaborate and pinpoint special things a little clearer.

Jason Derulo

I've been writing songs since I was a little boy. You know, I think I wrote my first song when I was 11.

Kris Kristofferson

I think I was 10 or 11 years old. I think the first song I learned about then was 'Open Arms.' Then, when I got tired of listening to 'Open Arms,' I borrowed my friend's Journey album, 'Escape,' and tried to listen to every song.

Arnel Pineda

I know every note in every song, the whole history of it, even parts that were there and are gone.

Enya

My first song was 'So Sick,' which was my first number one as an artist, and I turned the mic around to the crowd, and they sang the whole song. Every lyric. That was my first experience with the power of music.
