You try to concentrate on the lyrics, the music, the melody, and putting it all together, and there`s a sign . . . and half of you is saying, `Ignore it`, but the other half is saying, `Read it, go ahead.` `My grandmother saw you at Candlestick.` That say...
Paul McCartney
I write a lot of music in my time off and I compose most of the songs on guitar. I`ve actually gone into the studio and recorded a few things, but it`s tough trying to sell a song. It`s all about finding that hook, that melody.
Scott Patterson
I was keen to meet some of the people who have slagged me off, people like Paul Morley at NME and Paul Colbert at Melody Maker just to show them that I`m not actually what they think I am.
Phil Collins
You hear the beginning of a melody, you should kind of know it`s going to lead down this path. It should start feeling like a friend, like familiar.
Danny Elfman
Yet, it ought to be obvious that good music generally occupies a higher plane that mere politics. Great writers can express moods through melody and capture experiences we share most powerfully - love, lust, longing; joy, rage, fear; triumph, yearning and...
Tony Snow
Yeah. Yeah, that was mine. Like I said, Tracii ( Guns ) gave me CD filled with music and I came up with lyrics and melody lines and stuff.
Ashley Kelly
What we were trying to do is make a really positive album with lots of different elements from different decades and do lots of different things. We were really trying to bring back the melody, bring back the harmony and lots of loud guitars and bring bac...
Ben Romans
We human beings are tuned such that we crave great melody and great lyrics. And if somebody writes a great song, it`s timeless that we as humans are going to feel something for that and there`s going to be a real appreciation.
Art Garfunkel
Vivid images are like a beautiful melody that speaks to you on an emotional level. It bypasses your logic centers and even your intellect and goes to a different part of the brain.
Steven Bochco
This song probably has the most memorable melody we`ve ever recorded. I really like how we`re using something so catchy to convey these abstract lyrical ideas I have about songwriting. When I sit down to write a song, I always feel like I`m wading into a ...
Anton Drel
The personal vocabulary, the individual melody whose metre is one`s biography, joins in that sound, with any luck, and the body moves like a walking, a waking island.
Alan Thompson
The only thing that I miss lately in all music is somebody that will put out a melody that you can whistle. It doesn`t seem like there`s anything happening like that.
Merle Haggard
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.
Danny Elfman

Danny Elfman
The female voice is actually more complex than the male voice, due to differences in the size and shape of the vocal cords and larynx between men and women, and also due to women having greater natural `melody` in their voices. This causes a more complex ...
Michael Hunter
The composition of a single melody is born out of a bit of text, perhaps the first line, but it can also be the entire strophe; it can even be the poem`s overall form.
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau
That was very ambitious. That`s a very well-known song and you changed the melody and did all sorts of unusual things in it, ... That was really kind of cool.
Sass Jordan
Sometimes songwriters and singers forget that. They get a melody in their head and the notes will take precedence, so that they wind up forcing a word onto a melody. It doesn`t ring true.
Don Henley

Don Henley
Sometimes my boyfriend would write the lyrics and I would write the melody, and other times I would start from scratch. Or sometimes I would take a local poem and put that to music.
Carly Simon
So, essentially my contribution was to introduce repetition into Western music as the main ingredient without any melody over it, without anything just repeated patterns, musical patterns.
Terry Riley
The song is ended / But the melody lingers on.
Irving Berlin
