Melodies Quotes

I just write songs that I strongly believe in and that are coming from inside. There’s no tricks. It’s honesty with big melodies Picture Quote #1

Composing gives me a chance to work in multiple dimensions and helps me pare down my melodies into what is essential. Learning new skills has always energized me and scoring has opened up a world of sonic possibilities Picture Quote #1

I often think of random melodies. And I pretty much hear in my head what I want to do with the orchestra as I’m writing on the piano Picture Quote #1

When old words die out on the tongue, new melodies break forth from the heart; and where the old tracks are lost, new country is revealed with its wonders Picture Quote #1

If, while at the piano, you attempt to form little melodies, that is very well; but if they come into your mind of themselves, when you are not practising, you may be still more pleased; for the internal organ of music is then roused in you. The fingers must do what the head desires; not the contrary Picture Quote #1

True religion should be able to respond to the dark melodies, the faulty and hideous sounds that echo from the heart of men Picture Quote #1

I can draw with sound. That’s the most useful thing I learned in terms of what my craft is... The arrangements were mine. They were little lines and stuff that I had written myself... And I was locked into this idea that vocals didn’t count, melodies didn’t count, songwriting craftsmanship didn’t count. The only thing that counted was high arching guitar solos Picture Quote #1

Melodies can be good depending on the context. You can have a simple melody, and if the harmony behind it is interesting, it can make a very simple melody really different. You can also have a complex melody. The more complex it is, the harder it is to sing, and then sometimes it can sound contrived. You could write a melody that would be fine on a saxophone but if you give it to a singer, it can sound raunchy Picture Quote #1

Even if chords are simple, they should rub. They should have dissonances in them. I’ve always used a lot of alternate bass lines, suspensions, widely spaced voicings. Dfferent textures to get very warm chords. Sometimes you’re setting up strange chords by placing a chord in front of it that’s going to set it off like a diamond in a gold band. It’s not just finding interesting chords, it’s how you sequence them, like stringing together pearls on a string... Interesting chords will compel interesting melodies. It’s very hard to write a boring melody to an interesting chord sequence Picture Quote #1

Country music to me is heartfelt music that speaks to the common man. It is about real life stories with rather simple melodies that the average person can follow. Country music should speak directly and simply about the highs and lows of life. Something that anyone can relate to Picture Quote #1

Folk melodies are the embodiment of an artistic perfection of the highest order; in fact, they are models of the way in which a musical idea can be expressed with utmost perfection in terms of brevity of form and simplicity of means Picture Quote #1

Beauty addresses itself chiefly to sight, but there is a beauty for the hearing too, as in certain combinations so words and in all kinds of music; for melodies and cadences are beautiful; and minds that lift themselves above the realm of sense to a higher order are aware of beauty in the conduct of life, in actions, in character, in the pursuits of the intellect; and there is the beauty of the virtues Picture Quote #1

Animals can always read your vibration, and if you are intent on empowering your life, they will often gift you by making special melodies of sound to balance your chakras and tune up your body Picture Quote #1

A good picture book can almost be whistled... All have their own melodies behind the storytelling Picture Quote #1

Every time I would think about my purpose, the answers seemed to come in sounds. In melodies. In feelings Picture Quote #1

I’m not big on rap, to be honest. I just don’t get it. It’s angry people shouting. I like a song, melodies, people singing Picture Quote #1

Every time I get up in the morning, melodies occur to me and I start trying to shape lyrics to melodies Picture Quote #1

I really don’t have an ear for pitch. I can’t sing at all, I can’t hum melodies and I can’t write riffs Picture Quote #1

I have no want or desire to solo. I’d rather create melodies and accompanying parts Picture Quote #1

I’m a sucker for pop melodies, things you can’t get out of your head Picture Quote #1

The music of revelation announces itself to the reader in somber brooding tones or in melodies light as air and one is invited to dance with the most captivating of partners: poetry Picture Quote #1

There is a great temptation with songs, melodies and lyrics to overcomplicate them but in fact, you find that the most enduring melodies are often the simplest Picture Quote #1

I don’t meditate in any formal way, but I often lie in bed or find myself in nature and enter into that state of quiet where I get images, feelings, or melodies Picture Quote #1

Melodies are just honest. They can only be what they are. Words have the capacity for deception. Theyre all full of subtext, and some of them are cliche and overused and vernacular. Theyre tricky. All I can say is, words are tricky Picture Quote #1

I try to focus on the melodies and try to make everything else minimal. The melody and the lyrics are most important to me Picture Quote #1

Joy is the sweet voice, joy the luminous cloud. We in ourselves rejoice! And thence flows all that charms or ear or sight, all melodies the echoes of that voice, all colours a suffusion from that light Picture Quote #1

When I listen to my favorite songwriters, they have such simple melodies and chords. I occasionally manage to stop at the right time, but all too often I keep on going until I have way too many notes and words. But that’s just what I do Picture Quote #1

I hear these melodies. I hear horn lines and string lines. That’s what’s fun about recording with an orchestra Picture Quote #1

For it is in the millions of small melodies that the truth of history is always found, for history only matters because of the effects we see or imagine in the lives of the ordinary people who are caught up in, or give shape to, the great events Picture Quote #1

There are not more than five musical notes, yet the combinations of these five give rise to more melodies than can ever be heard Picture Quote #1
