Crowds respond to anthemic choruses.
From Ryan Tedder
The Beatles are the most credible band in the history of music.
I'm not interested in fad songs.
I'm not interested in corporate magic or fame.
I think the best songs are being written by the very under-stated, under-appreciated indie artists. The thing that separates them from mainstream success is they either consciously or unknowingly refuse to deliver on a big chorus.
The classic, quote/unquote, craft of songwriting still works; it still is relevant.
I'm terribly forgetful. I've lost laptops, cell-phones.
I'm a sucker for pop melodies, things you can't get out of your head.
Nobody works harder than Lady Gaga. Nobody. She is unbelievable. I don't know how she sleeps, or when or if.
I would rather put out two year-defining songs a year than flood the market with eight or nine songs.
