Melody Quotes

From a very early period of my life I have derived the highest enjoyment from listening to music, especially to melody, which is to me the most pleasing form of composition Picture Quote #1

My sense of divine brings with it a strange sound of music with its glories, a marvellous melody sounding like a multitude of flutes Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

At school, I enjoyed playing the bassoon. I was in the orchestra and played the melody when the other boys sang hymns at prayers time Picture Quote #1

And at that moment, a lilting melody lifts to the moon as a single sparrow sings Picture Quote #1

That deep silence has a melody of its own, a sweetness unknown amid the harsh discords of the world’s sounds Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I feel like a melody doesn’t have anything to do with me, but it’s just something that comes, is accumulated from me playing on the piano, and then this little creature just appears Picture Quote #1

Melodies can be good depending on the context. You can have a simple melody, and if the harmony behind it is interesting, it can make a very simple melody really different. You can also have a complex melody. The more complex it is, the harder it is to sing, and then sometimes it can sound contrived. You could write a melody that would be fine on a saxophone but if you give it to a singer, it can sound raunchy Picture Quote #1

Even if chords are simple, they should rub. They should have dissonances in them. I’ve always used a lot of alternate bass lines, suspensions, widely spaced voicings. Dfferent textures to get very warm chords. Sometimes you’re setting up strange chords by placing a chord in front of it that’s going to set it off like a diamond in a gold band. It’s not just finding interesting chords, it’s how you sequence them, like stringing together pearls on a string... Interesting chords will compel interesting melodies. It’s very hard to write a boring melody to an interesting chord sequence Picture Quote #1

I have a structured songwriting process. I start with the music and try to come up with musical ideas, then the melody, then the hook, and the lyrics come last. Some people start with the lyrics first because they know what they want to talk about and they just write a whole bunch of lyrical ideas, but for me the music tells me what to talk about Picture Quote #1

The saxophone is actually a translation of the human voice, in my conception. All you can do is play melody. No matter how complicated it gets, it’s still a melody Picture Quote #1

I shall take my voice wherever there are those who want to hear the melody of freedom Picture Quote #1

Melody has a certain way that it projects back to you. It triggers certain nerves in your body and certain instincts that normally wouldn’t be triggered by a normal voice Picture Quote #1

When I write, it is always the melody that comes first, and it just happens to be the case that the most beautiful tunes are sad, and the lyrics follow the mood of the melody Picture Quote #1

The melody is the most important thing that must stay in the minds of the people who listen to you. No matter how many notes you play, you can’t let them forget what the song is Picture Quote #1

The more perfect the sight is the more delightful the beautiful object. The more perfect the appetite, the sweeter the food. The more musical the ear, the more pleasant the melody. The more perfect the soul, the more joyous the joys of heaven, and the more glorious that glory Picture Quote #1

You put down one color and it calls for an answer. You have to look at it like a melody Picture Quote #1

The doctor used to tell me that every person about to die becomes a music box playing the melody that best describes his life, his character, and his hopes. For some, it’s a popular waltz; for others, a march Picture Quote #1

I am that which lies beyond time. Like a melody, which sounds completely only after the last note is played Picture Quote #1

All them weird chords which don’t mean a thing... you got no melody to remember, and no beat to dance to Picture Quote #1

Country music isn’t a guitar, it isn’t a banjo, it isn’t a melody, it isn’t a lyric. It’s a feeling Picture Quote #1

The language of tones belongs equally to all mankind, and melody is the absolute language in which the musician speaks to every heart Picture Quote #1

A well trained body is a beautiful instrument on which to play the melody of the present moment Picture Quote #1

Still, despite all our noise, this universe hinges on a melody, that’s the dismal truth of it. Oh, we can propagandize all we wish, it doesn’t change the fabric of things. This universe was not made for the fallen, only the redeemed Picture Quote #1

Music critics think of lyrics first and don’t consider melody but so many songs are lyrically depressing but musically great, and that’s why they become classics Picture Quote #1

It’s always a pleasure when you can compose guitar parts from a strong vocal and not just put the melody on top of guitar riffs Picture Quote #1

From the time I could play the piano, I remember trying to write tunes. They were in my head, and I would just sit down and start noodling. Next thing I knew, I had written a melody Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I get a lyric, and the lyric, you know, comes off the page, and goes into my brain and comes out with a melody. Other times, I may create a melody first Picture Quote #1

The advantage of the gypsy language, even though I don’t understand it that much, the language is perfect melody. So if you propose the movie the way I do, then the language is just one part of the melody. Orchestrating all inside, and the language is following the meaning of what they say, and it’s never the same as written Picture Quote #1

Would that I could be the peacemaker in your soul, that I might turn the discord and the rivalry of your elements into oneness and melody Picture Quote #1
