I`ve always loved the fact that there`s a really unique quality to sixties music. Everything from the chord progressions to the melodies themselves - and they still sound amazing today.
Tom Fletcher
For me they are pop songs. Beautiful melodies, fantastic lyrics, great accompaniments. I feel that my job as a pop artist is to develop as a musician, and to bring into my sphere elements that aren`t necessarily pop, more complex intervals, complex time s...
Sting
I have to say this singing was harder than any I`ve done before. The melodies are so fast that you can barely get a breath in. But once I got past the `Oh my God, what have I gotten myself into` phase, it was so much fun to sing again.
Michelle Pfeiffer
When you are accompanying someone, you are listening to them the way you listen to a Bach Chorale, where four parts are going on at the same time, all of which are gorgeous melodies, all being played simultaneously.
David Amram
When his name is added to those of Pleyel and Kozeluch, Scottish melodies can boast of being harmonized by the greatest luminaries of modern music,
George Thompson
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.

Alex Tagliani
I know I can`t do everything myself. So I know I specialize in my melodies and I do some of my demo work. I pass it on to my producers who are much better at the production level.
Paul Taylor
Gordie is a pleasure to be around as a writer. He isn`t the type to write safe (lyrics) or work with melodies that fit with what everybody else is writing -- he thinks outside the box.
George Canyon
By the end of it, you never know how it`s going to turn out. Hopefully if I pick the right songs and put the right melodies on it and all the collaboration works out. it`s a win-win situation.
Paul Taylor
But my role is to just apply the skills I`ve learned over the years: you listen to the guitar, you listen to the vocal melodies, you listen to the rhythm, and you come up with something that helps you take the song somewhere.
Krist Novoselic

Kenny G.
Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.
