1 " That was the ballad of suburbia: give me loud to drown out the silence. "
― Stephanie Kuehnert , Ballads of Suburbia
2 " I automatically assume people won't like me, so I don't talk to them unless they approach me first. I can't become a part of a crowd because I can't get past that feeling that I don't belong. "
3 " It's the ballads I like best, and I'm not talking about the clichéd ones where a diva hits her highest note or a rock band tones it down a couple of notches for the ladies. I mean a true ballad. Dictionary definition: a song that tells a story in short stanzas and simple words, with repetition, refrain, etc. My definition: the punk rocker or the country crooner telling the story of his life in three minutes, reminding us of the numerous ways to screw up. "
4 " A lot of ballads are about the mistakes we inevitably make while trying to figure out how to live our lives. "
