10 QUOTES WITH «LYRICAL»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word lyrical.
1
Chris Abani
Fiction and poetry are my first loves, but the really beautiful lyrical essay can do so much that other forms cannot.
2
Herb Alpert
The trumpet was not a lyrical singing instrument.
3
Chester Bennington
Once we start hitting lyrical themes that can whack you from all these different perspectives, we know we're onto something special.
4
Peabo Bryson
Music should probably provide answers in terms of lyrical content, and giving people a sense of togetherness and oneness, as opposed to being alone in their thoughts and dilemmas or regrets or happiness or whatever.
5
Jimmy Chamberlin
I've always seen my drumming as lyrical anyway.
6
Jarvis Cocker
Also, because people like to multitask, in a way if you've got a bit of music on in the background and the lyrical content is making you want to listen to it, then that would probably put you off the texting you wanted to do. I think people like things that just make that right kind of noise, but leave your brain free to do something else.
7
Teju Cole
Lyrical poetry is not a big part of most people's lives. Twitter now becomes an interesting way of getting cared for language into people's space. Because there is something deep inside of us that responds to cared for language, whether it's literary, poetry, or really good lyrics in a song.
8
Josephine de La Baume
My brother has a tendency to get quite lyrical when he writes music; he gets so romantic, it's borderline. I make it slightly more aggressive. I make the round corner a bit sharper.
9
Mark Edwards
They lyrical content has grown more introspective and less abstract. I don't know if that's good or bad... Sometimes it feels a little raw to be putting so much of myself out there.
10
Waka Flocka Flame
I didn't get into rap to be no lyrical genius. I got into rap to feed my family and help the people in need around me, that's it. A lot of people say, 'Man, Waka Flocka ain't go no lyrics,' so I was like, 'Yeah, you right!'
