“Music is a writer's heartbeat.”
― A.D. Posey

“Music is what our soul sounds like when it sings.”
― Xila Toro

“I lost my voice and my best friend too
On swift, fierce winds and wings of blue,
The cold rain fell where beams had shone,
So I wrapped up tight and safe. Alone.

But I missed my friend, I missed my voice,
And my heart still whispered of another choice
To break out of my binding, safe, and warm,
And see what the world looked like after the storm.

So I struggled free and was greeted by
Colorful brushstrokes across the sky,
The melody of the summer breeze
And blue wings like mine in hazel trees.

On the soft, sweet air of the mountain glade,
We gathered together in cool, green shade,
And told our stories, beginnings to ends,
And found our song in the hearts of new friends.”
― Elaine Vickers, Like Magic

“This year has taught me the simple craft of belief. I believe in the things I’ve nurtured and built this year. Slowly but carefully. Such as understanding, knowledge, passion, strength; the hundreds of songs I’ve written, the 365 poems, the books I’ve read and the miles I’ve run. The resolution to breathe, to meditate, to not harm my mind or body even when I’ve felt like it. ”
― Charlotte Eriksson

“Perhaps they are singing songs to you,' he said, 'and I just think they’re asking me questions.' He paused again. Sometimes he would pause for days, just to see what it was like.”
― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

“You write poems with your fingertips
And I keep listening to the songs written on my skin
By some distant dream, similar words
But the verses never meet...”
― Sanhita Baruah, The Farewell and other poems

“All we have is "One Life", so go for IT!”
― Shannon L. Alder

“There are basically three types of songs: loved songs, unloved songs, and transitional songs written by tired people in between the two. Love songs are cheesy, unloved songs are depressing, and transitional songs are poetry. Transitions catch the world on fire, touching on relevant topics while speaking with giddiness and despair of the lover between.”
― Ace Boggess, A Song Without a Melody

“We are taught to think ourselves ugly. Eyes are an assaulted sense. We are taught to behave by spankings and whippings. Touch is an assaulted sense. We are taught we should not smell, or we smell wrong. Smell is an assaulted sense. We listen to songs that call us 'hos and tell us how to give blow jobs. Hearing is an assaulted sense. Taste, not so much.”
― Alice Randall, Ada's Rules: A Sexy Skinny Novel

“Luke is the sort of boy Taylor Swift could get at least three songs out of.”
― Beth Garrod, Super Awkward

“Why are you making no more songs?' I said to him in a tone like that. 'Why are you making no more songs?'

― John Steinbeck, Cup of Gold

“From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.”
― Cat Stevens

“Anna's voice wasn't a beautiful voice - rough edged and sorrowful, a bit used, somehow male and female at once. Yet it had more vibrancy to it than most Danish voices, which were often thin and white and too pretty to trigger a shiver. Anna's voice had the heat of the south; it warmed Einar, as if her throat were read with coals.”
― David Ebershoff, The Danish Girl

“So you write to our congressmen
With bleeding pens
Of the sorrow within
And in return they just send
Tickets to the latest Tom Hanks show”
― Jewel

“After a while Luce curled up with her head leaning on a rock, wondering why she wasn't consumed with despair. Instead she felt an inexplicable sense of peace. She was cradled in music. The rocks around her chanted like slow, growling bells, and each curl of the water stroked her fins with silky notes. She'd been so afraid of leaving her tribe, but she understood that she never would have heard the music resonating out of every crook of the world if she hadn't taken so many risks. She'd opened her heart to the music of solitude, and it had come to her.”
― Sarah Porter

“Sad songs are not my strong suit. All the songs that have saved my life make you feel like driving with the top down or dancing in your room with your best friend.”
― J.C. Lillis, A&B

“From the moment I could talk, I was ordered to listen.
—Tea for the Tillerman”
― Cat Stevens

“Then I found my head one day when I wasn't even trying.”
― Cat Stevens, Cat Stevens

“The songs were all either fast or sad. Because all songs should be either fast or sad.”
― Rob Sheffield, Love Is a Mix Tape: Life and Loss, One Song at a Time

“She was at the same table near the back where three nights ago I'd sat entranced by her songs. And where the two of us had talked like old friends.”
― Mike Bond, Killing Maine

“In history, the bleeding
from arbitrary beatings, forced
breedings, and choked-heat
breathing could almost be withstood
by soul-feeding songs sung,
or listlessly hummed
just to go on.”
― Kristen Henderson, Of My Maiden Smoking

“The rest of the evening passed agreeably: the crew had their games on the main deck, resigning themselves to Sirs and dice now that dancing was out, those who would go ashore to enjoy the dining halls and tea houses went after their matches were lost, and those who remained either took themselves off to an early rest or remained with the musicians, to sing out the remainder of the evening by way of a few round songs, calling out verses in melodic dissonance, singing the history of Good Marrie the Whore and though there were “Ten hands in her purse, there was still room for one more!â€�,”
― Michelle Franklin

“Latin is a dead tongue
And Romans made songs!
Then no one disagree:
It delighted them in theory
Now it's "the Latin" in me.”
― Ana Claudia Antunes, ACross Tic

“Almost no one reads poems, almost everyone listens to songs. And if songs were, nowadays, a way to get people to poetry and poetry to people?”
― Luigina Sgarro

“A song should stand on its own and on what a singer does with it. It shouldn't need a lot of extra help to be good.”
― Oliver

“I try to make the music give people a chance to become engrossed with what they hear enough to possibly experience things they've probably experienced on their own but don't normally let themselves go so as to feel them fully.”
― Oliver

“When I write I like to give equal justice to lyrics, too. I want the song to have meaning for me so I can make it have meaning for the audience.”
― Oliver

“It is better to sing songs of hope than to sing songs of misery.”
― Debasish Mridha

“The melody of music!”
― Lailah Gifty Akita

“Writing catchy pop songs is a super-minor superpower, but it's mine.”
― J.C. Lillis, A&B
