Sufjan Stevens - john wayne gacy jr, 2005

"Gacy was close to his mother and two sisters, but had a difficult relationship with his father, an alcoholic who was verbally and physically abusive to his family. The elder Gacy frequently belittled his son, calling him "dumb and stupid" and comparing him unfavorably with his sisters. One of Gacy's earliest childhood memories was of his father beating him at age four for accidentally disarranging car engine components. His mother tried to shield her son from his father's abuse, which resulted in accusations that he was a "sissy" and a "mama's boy" who would "probably grow up queer". In 1949, Gacy's father whipped him after he and another boy were caught sexually fondling a young girl. The same year, a family friend began to occasionally molest Gacy.Gacy never told his father, afraid that his father would blame him. Despite their challenging relationship, Gacy loved his father, but felt he was "never good enough" in his father's eyes."

Peter Bjorn And John - a long goodbye, 2016

"We broke down lots of producers during this album process. One mysteriously disappeared, another one ended up seeking mental care and a third one mostly talked about how much he missed smoking weed.We picked out people we thought could manage to over-ride the three of us in the band. No one could. But, we found some of the best, crafty producers for the specific songs that needed an extra layer of fresh paint. For the first time we wanted the music to sound expensive, it ended up with us turning bankrupt."

Francisco Fanhais - cantata da paz, 1970

"A 31 de dezembro de 1968, cerca de 150 católicos entraram na igreja de S. Domingos, em Lisboa, e nela permaneceram durante a noite, depois de o papa Paulo VI ter decidido, no mesmo mês, que 1 de janeiro passaria a ser assinalado pela Igreja como Dia Mundial da Paz. A iniciativa contra a guerra colonial, e de oposição ao regime ditatorial de então, foi vigiada pela polícia política, tendo terminado sem incidentes. Sophia de Mello Breyner escreveu propositadamente para essa vigília a "Cantata da Paz", que ficou conhecida pelos primeiros versos, «Vemos, ouvimos e lemos/ Não podemos ignorar». Quatro anos depois, nos últimos dias de 1972, ocorreu na Capela do Rato nova vigília de protesto contra o regime, que acabou com a invasão do templo por parte da polícia. Os participantes foram levados para a esquadra e a maioria foi presa.» Cantata da paz, de Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen (poema) e Francisco Fernandes (música), por Francisco Fanhais – cantata gravada em 1970 pelo então padre Francisco Fanhais, foi uma das canções de intervenção que mais se cantaram em Portugal a partir desse ano e até 1974, ano da implantação da democracia."
