Writing Quotes by Jakob Dylan

Jakob Dylan

I always saw songwriting as the top of the heap. No matter what else you were going to do creatively… writing songs was king.

I do like a song that can look good on a page without even being sung. I edit and edit and edit.

Writing

Jakob Dylan

I don’t want to sing songs and write songs that need to have images behind them that are of a specific time. The times we live in today – I mean, there’s a lot to work with. But I think that if I was my age in 1975 or 1985, I would have felt the same way because that’s what I gravitate toward.

Jakob Dylan

My songs have always had hope and perseverance in them – I never write songs that have no escape hatch, no positivity.

Jakob Dylan

The songs I write should only be gauged by what other writers or peers are doing today. If the barometer for all songwriters was to match his body of work, then anyone you might mention alive or dead is a failure. But I’ve learned to not be too hung up on what’s fair or not fair.

Writing

Jakob Dylan

There are certainly a lot of people – and I won’t name names – who are getting by simply on expression. And I guess that’s valuable in some sense. But songs are not better just because they’re emotionally honest. To write a song well, you have to put some work into it and grind it out.
