Songs Quotes

Upward my face I turn to you, I long for you, I yearn to you, The spectral vision trances me to utt'rance wild and weak; It is not that I mourn you, To mourn you were to scorn you, For you are one step nearer to the beauty singers seek. But I want, and cannot see you, I seek and cannot find you, And, see! I touch the book of songs you tenderly left behind you!

Robert Williams Buchanan

Guy Rupert Berryman

I wish all teenagers can filter through songs instead of turning to drugs and alcohol.

Taylor Swift

I write songs that are like diary entries. I have to do it to feel sane.

Taylor Swift

The songs are in your eyes. I see them when you smile.

When John Lennon sings, "Oh, my love/For the first time in my life/My eyes are wide open" these songs have an intimacy for me that's not just between people, I realize now, not just sexual intimacy. A spiritual intimacy.
