SINGING QUOTES II

quotations about singing

Singing quote

When we sing, I am one of many, and the individual me evaporates. I am one of 23 university choir members. Not a professor. Not an American. Not a 46-year-old in the midst of twentysomethings. Not a woman trying to outpace the aspects of self she has yet to make peace with. I am simply what we all are--another voice, a set of lungs, some vocal chords and someone who finds joy and comfort in singing.

LAURA KELLY

Dispatches from the Republic of Otherness


Singing is a simple process. It's a matter of speaking on pitch, and trusting that our bodies know what to do.

Rock Singing Techniques


But would you sing, and rival Orpheus' strain.
The wond'ring forests soon should dance again;
The moving mountains hear the powerful call,
And headlong streams hang listening in their fall!

For me the visual is just as important as the music. I would never record without my red lipstick. It was my way of getting into character, sort of like Method singing.

CHRISTINA AGUILERA

International Herald Tribune, July 28, 2006


Sing, I tell you And all the angels will sing with you!

SUZY KASSEM

"The Four Heavenly Fountains", Rise Up and Salute the Sun


Sing it out
Boy, you've got to see what tomorrow brings
Sing it out
Girl, you've got to be what tomorrow needs
For every time that they want to count you out
Use your voice every single time you open up your mouth

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE

"Sing", Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys


My world had been so dark, void of sound and then I heard you sing again--and it exploded. Everything came crashing down on me that I'd been holding in, and then I was just a mess. But I wasn't suffering in silence anymore. I was suffering from the impenetrable sound of your voice on repeat in my head.

CASSANDRA GIOVANNI

Finding Perfection


Singing on earth is an accomplishment we can carry with us to heaven.

MARIA L. PIZZOLI

attributed, Day's Collacon


If I know all the words to a song -- or even if I know just two of them -- I will sing those as loud as possible. And my wife is like, 'Could you please stop that?' Because I sing really loud. It's not like I'm in the corner going 'la la la la la.' I'm f---ing going crazy, you know? Spit is flying all over the windshield and on the steering wheel and all that good stuff.

I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony, that's the song I hear

BILL BACKER, BILLY DAVIS, ROGER COOK & ROGER GREENAWAY

"I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing"


All through the night
There's a little brown bird singing
Singing in the dusk of the darkness
And the dew
Oh how I wish that my heart
Could go awinging
Could go awinging
Straight through the nighttime
To you

PEGGY LEE

"A Brown Bird Singing"


Emma, okay, enough with the singing. Mommy's getting a three-pill headache.

Singing is a miracle. It has been called the most complex coordinative act that a human being is ever called upon to perform.

DAN MAREK

Singing: The First Art


Singing a song in the morning, singing it again at night
I don't even know what I'm singin' about but it makes me feel I feel alright

KEVIN AYERS

"Religious Experience"


Unless you have singing in the family and singing in the house, singing everywhere, until it becomes a habit, you never can have congregational singing; it will be the cold drops, half water, half ice, which drip in March from some cleft of rock, one drop here and another there; whereas it should be like the August shower, which comes ten million drops at once, and roars on the roof.

I'm saddest when I sing.

It is the best of all trades, to make songs, and the second best to sing them.

Anything that keeps you from singing is foolishness, unless it's laughter.

When I but hear her sing, I fare
Like one that raised, holds his ear
To some bright star in the supremest Round;
Through which, besides the light that's seen
There may be heard, from Heaven within,
The rests of Anthems, that the Angels sound.

OWEN FELTHAM

Lusoria


You can sing about change
While you're making your own
You can be what you try to say
While the big wheel rolls
Just singing a song won't change the world

NEIL YOUNG
