“Being a songwriter is an achievement that I consider equal to and perhaps even more than being a singer and artist. At eight years old – long before I started singing – I wrote to find meaning in this world. Each song is a reflection of who I was at the time when I wrote it, but as soon as the song is released, it belongs not only to me, but also to those who liked it, “-Said Shakira in the interview.
1 week earlier British company became the owner of 50% of Neil Young’s songs.
