I really like melodies.

I like rock music that has melody, but it also makes you wanna get up and dance.

I'm not a fan of that sort of punky, heavy, tinny stuff. I like a nice melody.

Melody is the single most important thing to any song, period. I don't care what anybody says, it trumps everything. Not because that's my opinion but because I think it's actually indisputable fact. The human brain retains melody easier than it retains words. It's that simple.

I think the melody is the first time I hear in a song and if I like the melody, then I'll pay closer attention to the lyrics.

I feel pretty comfortable in a lot of different musical styles. I like rhythm, and I like melody and so forth.

I never think about rhythm versus melody; I've always just played to what's in my head.

I've always been a fan of melody and emotional melancholy, whether it was Rites of Spring or Tears for Fears or Neil Young. If I hear a song that has a sweet melody, I'm a sucker for it, whether it's Linkin Park or Little Richard.

I really believe in melody.

With a good melody... music gets me through everything.
