A lot of the older fans think that Genesis should be a brand name for progressive rock or whatever, but actually Genesis is the name for a group of songwriters who have always done whatever they felt like doing under that banner.
Phil Collins
Writing in English was a major challenge. I didn`t want other songwriters to write for me. I wanted to preserve the spirit of my songs in Spanish. I am the same Shakira in English as I am in Spanish.
Shakira
One of my favorite songs that I never wrote was "Tempted" and I did actually cover it. It`s a great song, and Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook are great songwriters. Squeeze were always a great band, and it was nice to cover it.
Sting
The songwriters decided to give Link a cool, upbeat, Elvis-style number, and it`s the perfect time for it in the movie. `Ladies Choice` establishes the connection between Tracy and Link. And it`s the kind of number you need in a sixties musical: the rock ...

We`re at our best when Keith and Mick (are/aren`t) getting along, ... As songwriters, they seem to be at their most creative when there`s (harmony/tension). Go figure!
Ron Wood
We only had enough money really to cut 10 things and be in there for a month because it`s expensive, you know. And, singer/songwriters, today are lucky if they can get a deal, you know. So, we actually worked so fast that we really cut 20 things.
Graham Nash
We offer insight on exactly what is involved in the industry. We represent singers and songwriters, but also producers, engineers and a whole bunch of career tracks that people can take.
Jimmy Jam
There`s so much fear involved in trying to do something you don`t know how to do that drugs and alcohol can become a big part of your life if you have an addictive personality or are very unsure, which most songwriters are.
Barry Mann
There are quite a few honest songwriters out there writing about relationships and their own personality traits. But for some reason, once they step out of the bedroom, their honesty doesn`t seem to come with them.

Ernie Pyle
Then on to all the terrific american songwriters, from Tin Pan Alley to the Beatles, from Bob Dylan to Paul Simon. Whoever wrote and sang in the song form I have appreciated.
Tom Chapin
The music was different then from how it is now, though. I think we`re now better songwriters, and we`re better at doing the song instead of just showing off up there.
Dan Estrin
Sometimes songwriters and singers forget that. They get a melody in their head and the notes will take precedence, so that they wind up forcing a word onto a melody. It doesn`t ring true.
Don Henley
So many artists who came out during that time, including myself, were able to get on radio. New forms of singer-songwriters developed out of that.
Carly Simon
Nashville is one of the greatest places for the best songwriters in the world. It`s been fantastic to live there and to raise our family there. It`s a great town.
Faith Hill
I`m really happy that I got to work with such fresh talent. In a day when record companies are not particularly good at encouraging young, talented songwriters to come forward and get exposure, I think it`s important to give tomorrow`s songwriters the opp...

I think there are some songwriters who are just brilliant who can write and then I think there are some songwriters who can like me I have a problem writing chorus lyrics but I can write a song in a story like that.

I think I`m part of the last generation of songwriters that are really influenced by where they grew up because things these days are becoming more and more homogenized, ... My family comes from an area with lots of rich music ... hill music that was surr...
Greg Brown
I really believe in myself. I`m the hardest worker I know, and one of the best songwriters. There`s a craft to it, and it takes a long time to hone it, and I work really hard at it.
Arthur Godfrey
I never thought of myself as being a good songwriter. There are a ton of other people that are good songwriters, but I don`t think I`m in the club. What I do well is perform, sometimes sing pretty good, and accompany myself well and arrange fairly well.
Alex Chilton
I love Nashville. I was down there recently, and I was talking to all the cab drivers, they`re all songwriters, everybody`s a songwriter down there.
Arthur Godfrey
I know great songwriters. Fred Neil would come up when he was in L.A., we all used to hang out. He would sit there and sing, and we would just melt. I mean, we would go to his recording sessions.
