I`m not a lyric writer to make statements. What I enjoy doing is making paintings with lyrics, creating colorful images. I think that`s more what entertainment and music should be.

It`s nice that all the composers have said that nobody interprets a lyric like Fred Astaire. But when it comes to selling records I was never worth anything particularly except as a collector`s item.

This proves that great lyric poetry can die, be reborn, die again, but will always remain one of the most outstanding creations of the human soul.
Aleksander Suglobov
There can be no proof that Blake`s lyric is composed of the best words in the best order; only a conviction, accepted by our knowledge and judgment, that it is so.

The fact that The Bridge contains folk lore and other material suitable to the epic form need not therefore prove its failure as a long lyric poem, with interrelated sections.
Alexander Klose
Religious poetry, civic poetry, lyric or dramatic poetry are all categories of man`s expression which are valid only if the endorsement of formal content is valid.

Phil Harris

I have a little dictaphone and if a sound takes my fancy or if a lyric comes to me in the middle of the night I`ll just record it there and then.
Barry Gibb
He passes from lyric to epic poetry in order to speak about the world and the torment in the world through man, rationally and emotionally. The poet then becomes a danger.
Andrea Cerutti
He doesn`t make it so complicated but just really allows the lyric to come through even though there`s a lot of production going on. I think that`s the key and that`s the magic, it`s making sure that people could still connect with the lyrics while they`r...

Every night we all felt grateful to be there, stunned at the amount of people that are there, and stunned at their reactions. They go crazy; they know every lyric from eight years of age to eighty. It`s unbelievable.
