When You Get A Groove Going, Time

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.

I Like It When Songs Develop In Some Way. Four Minutes Usually Isn't Enough Time For Something To Develop Musically.

I Don't Think You Can Escape The Environment We Live In Now.
