When rock came along the lyrics and melodies became less important and it bothered me to think that perhaps they might not regain the value they have to music - they are music. ↗

When you are accompanying someone, you are listening to them the way you listen to a Bach Chorale, where four parts are going on at the same time, all of which are gorgeous melodies, all being played simultaneously. ↗

I like to hear melodies that go from one extreme to the next- saxophone to a bell to a whistle, for instance. ↗

But my role is to just apply the skills I've learned over the years: you listen to the guitar, you listen to the vocal melodies, you listen to the rhythm, and you come up with something that helps you take the song somewhere. ↗

Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter. ↗

I have written most of my melodies walking and I feel it is definitely one of the most helpful ways of sewing all of the different things in your life together and seeing the whole picture. ↗

I like to come up with the melodies, and I have a lot of ideas as far as structure goes. ↗

A song that sounds simple is just not that easy to write. One of the objectives of this record was to try and write melodies that continue to resonate. ↗
