I'm not the best person at putting words together. I can't give you the melody. But I might inspire somebody.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The writing of a melody is an emotional moment; success doesn't make it easy.
Writing a simple melody can take weeks to get it right where I want it, but I do quite enjoy it.
You work very hard on the lyrics. Getting them to fit the contours of improvised melodies.
It's hard - some people get inspired by a feeling, but I'm mostly inspired by melodies.
If I can sit down at my keyboard and have a melody that says something that I can't with words, that's a really beautiful thing.
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 have a very strange melodic gift: melodies come to me effortlessly.
There, in the chords and melodies, is everything I want to say. The words just jolly it along. It's always been my way of expressing what, for me, is inexpressible by any other means.
As long as I can say what it is that I need to say, then I'll fit whatever I'm trying to say around a melody.
All my music is very simple in that melody is usually clearly stated.
