Colbie Caillat Song Quotations

Bob Marley is a huge influence. I love reggae music, but I also love the purpose of the songs he writes and the style of the music - it takes your worries away and makes you feel good, and I think that's what music is about.

Writing is my therapy. My feelings build up inside of me and then I sit down and write a song.

Well, I started writing songs about three years ago when I learned to play the guitar, but I've been singing since I was eleven.

When I turned 19 I kinda realized that I needed to write my own songs instead of singing songs written by other people.

A great song should lift your heart, warm the soul and make you feel good.

What's really cool is to be able to write music and have people around the world [who are] able to relate to it. They tell you that [your] song helped them get through a divorce or they got married to that song. It makes me want to keep doing that for [myself] and for people.

Taking a song and bringing it to life in a professional recording studio can be an intimidating process at first; I know it certainly was for me. So to be able to offer support and guidance to an emerging singer-songwriter is a huge honor. I look forward to playing a role in such an exciting time of someone's songwriting career.
