quotations about singing
And the world is falling
Slowly out of view
While the angels are singing
Singing me home
Yeah the angels are singing
Singing me home
3 o'clock in the morning
BLUE RODEO
"Angels"
When I was a child, Mama had the best voice of all the members of the church. She had loved to sing. Her words had soared like an angel's over the swells of the organ. In fact, I now suspected, her entire theology had been taken from the hymnal.
SIRI MITCHELL
She Walks in Beauty
The moon was singing the blues
The stars in the sky harmonized
Singing it too
And I, far below
Was singing low and slow
For you
THE MAGNETIC FIELDS
"Blue You"
Singing is a personal thing. Our own body makes all of the sound, which is then tempered by our own experiences and personality. When we get up there we make ourselves very vulnerable. That explains why, perhaps even more than other performers, we get really hurt by criticism and rejection.

"Singing? I'm still trying to get the hang of it", The Guardian, June 1, 2017
Let's sing our way out of this.

Have you ever heard somebody sing some lyrics that you've never sung before, and you realize you've never sung the right words in that song? You hear them and all of a sudden you say to yourself, 'Life in the Fast Lane?' That's what they're saying right there? You think, 'why have I been singing 'wipe in the Vaseline?' how many people have heard me sing 'wipe in the Vaseline?' I am an idiot.
ELLEN DEGENERES
My Point ... And I Do Have One
Singing is a rough business. Every vocal performance involves hundreds of thousands of micro-collisions in the throat.

I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.
T. S. ELIOT
"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"
Sing it for your mama, ay
Sing it for your papa, ay
Sing it for the whole world
Whether boy or girl, for your #1 bae
KO on the beat, okay?
I'm the human 808
Go ahead, come sing it, don't talk
Cause the beat won't stop
No way, way, way, way
PENTATONIX
"Sing"
By the time a soprano hits those lush high notes, her vocal cords are thwacking together 1,000 times per second, transforming a burst of air from her lungs into music powerful enough to shatter glass.

Come, sing now, sing; for I know you sing well;
I see you have a singing face.

O! she will sing the savageness out of a bear.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

Nowadays what isn't worth saying is sung.
