&ldquo;What is it that makes you want to write songs? In a way you want to stretch yourself into other people&rsquo;s hearts. You want to plant yourself there, or at least get a resonance, where other people become a bigger instrument than the one you&rsquo;re playing. It becomes almost an obsession to touch other people. To write a song that is remembered and taken to heart is a connection, a touching of bases. A thread that runs through all of us. A stab to the heart. Sometimes I think songwriting is about tightening the heartstrings as much as possible without bringing on a heart attack.&rdquo; <br /> ― Keith Richards, Life<br /> 16 likes
