“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
“I specialize in lyrics and melodies. I'm good with themes.”
Wyclef Jean
“We've still got the melodies, we've still got the nice 'strong girl' lyrics going on.”
Victoria Beckham
“Oh, my luve's like a red, red rose, That's newly sprung in June; Oh, my luve's like the melodie That's sweetly played in tune”
Robert Burns
“I helped with the songwriting, yes. When I joined, we tweaked the songs. We scrapped the lyrics and melodies the other singer had written. This one is all ours.”
Danny Stevens
“Not every end is the goal. The end of a melody is not its goal, and yet if a melody has not reached its end, it has not reached its goal. A parable.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Music creates order out of chaos: for rhythm imposes unanimity upon the divergent, melody imposes continuity upon the disjointed, and harmony imposes compatibility upon the incongruous”
Yehudi Menuhin
