And I thought about how many people have loved those songs. And how many people got through a lot of bad times because of those songs. And how many people enjoyed good times with those songs. And how much those songs really mean. I think it would be great to have written one of those songs. I bet if I wrote one of them, I would be very proud. I hope the people who wrote those songs are happy. I hope they feel it's enough. I really do because they've made me happy. And I'm only one person. .Stephen Chbosky
About This Quote
Many great musicians and writers have passed away in the past few years. However, one of the greatest musicians ever, Jimi Hendrix, stated that "the world is a much better place because of [their] music." Hendrix wrote and performed such timeless classics as "Hey Joe," "Purple Haze," and "The Star Spangled Banner." Other greats include Kenny Rogers, Charles Dickens, Berry Gordy, Judy Garland, and Elvis Presley. Every time we hear a song we love we can thank these individuals for their hard work and inspiration.
