Amazed Quote by Sharon Jones
“Some people can sit down and write a song, but they can't go on stage like I can. I tell the songwriter's story. When I read people's lyrics, I'm so amazed. I want to tell this story and make it part of my life. I usually can't write lyrics down, but I can sure tell that story. You've got to make people feel the hurt and love in each song.”
