Songs come to me and I hear them. At least in part, they are very complete; I hear the whole chorus, including the drum pattern, the base, the countermelody, the basic harmonic structure and the main thrust of the lyric.
Only the tone-deaf doubt the power of music, though some feel it more strongly than others.
When I have a breakthrough in music and I hear the melody in my hands: that's when I get compelled - something in my gut just has to rise up and sing and put something to that.
Bright gem instinct with music, vocal spark.
The feeling that you want the listener to get, you should get yourself when you first hit that chord, and that melody comes to mind.
I feel like when I get into most rooms, melodies come really easily to me, and they sound good in my head. I never really know until I hear the song back and it's finished if it actually is good.
As a composer, I know that all sorts of sounds I hear are making their way into my brain and soul and later sneak into my music.
I'll only pick up my guitar if something is knocking on the door. Once the melodies have sort of been bothering me for a time, then I pick up my guitar and try to find them. But only if they want to be found.
I kind of always thought that I had a good ear for melodies. I think in terms of melody. I can just be walking and I'll hear a melody.
I have a very strange melodic gift: melodies come to me effortlessly.
