Melody Quotes

Because if you’ve got the wit, you can make anything into a melody, ultimately Picture Quote #1

I won’t deny a song or a melody. I can’t deny it Picture Quote #1

The first thing I do is lay out that melody and figure out how it has to hold here and then finish to land here, because you know in advance you’re going to want the melody to catch four things in the action Picture Quote #1

I always write lyrics first and the rhythm and the melody come from the lyrics. It always comes from the lyrics: words have rhythm and words have melody Picture Quote #1
