I really like melodies.

Ever since I was a child I've always been very attracted to melodies. Whether I hear Jeff Beck, a choir, an ocean or the wind, there's always a melody in there.

There are only so many notes so there must be only so many melodies.

Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.

I like to hear melodies that go from one extreme to the next- saxophone to a bell to a whistle, for instance.

There is a lot of melody and things that sound familiar in hundreds of songs.

All of our songs take these really big creative turns and twists throughout the process, so sometimes songs will start out as a melody or some musical chord progressions.

I've always been a writer who does simplistic, simple melodies. But I think it works.

You work very hard on the lyrics. Getting them to fit the contours of improvised melodies.

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