When I began looking into the Carter catalog and came across 'Will My Mother Know Me There,' it seemed like such a joyful number and such a song of the spirit that I could hear them all singing it together.
How did I write 'Spin Me?' I listened to Luther Vandross's 'I Wanted Your Love.'
My biggest blast-off hit was 'You Raise Me Up.' If you ever have a wedding or a funeral, it's a good pick.
It was your song that made me sing It was your song that gave me wings It was your light that shined guiding my heart to find This place where I belong It was your song Dreams can come true With God's great angels like you
'Can You See' is a beautiful song that follows a story of the star. It's a very inspirational song.
'The Christmas Song,' by Nat King Cole, is not only a masterful performance; to me it just sounds like the holidays. I've never sung it, because Nat's version is so perfect. I gotta leave it alone.
I can't judge myself by 'God Only Knows.' No one writes songs as good as that.
People who tend to listen to my music have come back and said, 'Yo, this is my anthem. This is what I live by.'
I had written 'Cafe de Flore' with 'Stairway to Heaven' in mind.
'Unstoppable' is a song that I wrote about my mom.
I got to meet Rachel Platten, who sings 'Fight Song,' I love that song.
Everybody needs inspiration Everbody needs a song. A beautiful melody, When the night's so long. Cause there is no guarantee, That this life is easy.
I am so unbelievably excited to share 'I Hope' with the world. After my 'Idol' chapter closed, I knew this song was the one I wanted to frame myself with.
I have received so many messages from people all over the world who've connected with 'Leave A Light On' and shared their own story of struggles and the people who've helped them.
The Blues are the true facts of life expressed in words and song, inspiration, feeling, and understanding.
The hymn 'Amazing Grace' is so inspirational - I wish I'd written it.
Nothing like a bit of 'The Best of Times' before prancing around on stage.
People can feel stuff in a different way when it's through music. If you can get some inspiration into a song, it might be received in a more impactful way than if you were just to have a conversation.
The song 'Leroy and Lanisha' on my album 'The Epic' is really my homage to 'Linus and Lucy.'
I would have to recommend the chorus of 'Lightning Crashes' for just about everyone that needs a little something, a little comeback.
