If Words are the Lyrics, and Laughter the Melody, then a Relationship becomes a Symphony.
Through song you learn, and I think school systems need to learn that. Through the rhythm you can learn better, through melody, with something you need to learn, it's a vehicle for it.
I don't believe in original melodies. There are only so many computations of eight notes.
I always did poetry, and [rap music is] pretty much hip-hop melody with poems.
Music is the melody whose text is the world.
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.

I still have a very nonintellectual, nonjudgmental relationship with melody and the music as I hear it all in my head.
All them weird chords which don't mean a thing. . . you got no melody to remember, and no beat to dance to
What makes a great song - you dont put it into words. You feel it. The perfect lyric. The perfect melody. It makes you feel something.
I am that which lies beyond time. Like a melody, which sounds completely only after the last note is played.
I'm a sucker for pop melodies, things you can't get out of your head.
