I didn't think it was special to be able to sing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I always wanted to sing, as a child.
I always wanted to be a singer, but none of my friends thought I could sing.
I really do think everybody can sing.
From the age of 12, I had an understanding that singing was something I loved to do more than anything, and I did say to myself, 'Why not?' But there were definitely some doubts along the way.
In the olden days, everybody sang. You were expected to sing as well as talk. It was a mark of the cultured man to sing.
I never tried to sing like anybody else, fortunately I didn't sound like anybody else. It just happened.
I sang with a voice that was natural, and I liked the way I produced that sound. I thought of my other friends, that they were singing and dancing, but they didn't have this. I was special.
It's a lovely thing to be able to sing.
I found it was really impossible for me to write songs when I couldn't sing.
I knew I always wanted to sing.
