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.
Akon

Melody is the essence of music.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Image
Melody is the first thing that comes to me when I'm songwriting. I learned piano classically first, and then I went into soul, and so melody has always been the first. It's so important.
Emeli Sande
Image
Melody is a form of remembrance. It must have a quality of inevitability in our ears.
Gian Carlo Menotti
Image
Melody is the single most important thing to any song, period. I don't care what anybody says, it trumps everything. Not because that's my opinion but because I think it's actually indisputable fact. The human brain retains melody easier than it retains words. It's that simple.
Ryan Tedder

Melody is the essence of music. I compare a good melodist to a fine racer, and counterpoints to hack post-horses.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Melody is the essence of music. I compare a good melodist to a fine racer, and counterpointists to hack post-horses therefore be advised, let well alone and remember the old Italian proverb: Chi sa più, meno sa— Who knows most, knows least.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Melody always comes to me first before words - cadence and melody. When you're humming the melody and it's incredible and words start coming out it can build into something special.

Melody is disarming. It's anarchic!
Mika

Play the flute of felicity! You, yourself, are the melody.
Rumi

What? You don't think he's cute? I didn't really notice. How can you not notice when a guy is cute? Melody stared at her in disbelief.
Nicholas Sparks
Image
every artist is both male and female, and ... sometimes, the two great elements are in conjunction with him, so that all by himself he suddenly gets the melody and the burst of feeling of a great symphony without any external stimuli.
Ruth St. Denis

My favorite moments are when the bass falls in the pocket with the drums, the guitar is on top just slicing it, and the melody is scraping across like a sidewinder shattering through the monitor. It's just, ahhh, I love it! That's the jones, the hit, the buzz right there. It gets me off.

Science without discrimination Human existence without discipline Friendship without gratitude Music without melody A society without morality and justice Cannot be of benefit to the people.
Sai Baba

There's two facets to writing a song. There's you sitting in your room writing the sentiments of the song the lyrics, the melody and the changes, and then there's the part where you go into the studio and you put clothing on it.
Nuno Bettencourt

Spring is the season of gaiety, and winter of terror in spring the heart of tranquility dances to the melody of the groves, and the eye of benevolence sparkles at the sight of happiness and plenty: in winter, compassion melts at universal calamity, and the tear of softness starts at the wailing of hunger and the cries of the creation in distress
Samuel Johnson
Image
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.
Patrick Modiano
Image
Harmony is the inner cadence of contentment we feel when the melody of life is in tune.
Sarah Ban Breathnach

That deep silence has a melody of its own, a sweetness unknown amid the harsh discords of the world's sounds.
Paul Brunton

No offence to Hugh MacLennan, but you don't even have to know or understand any deep philosophy that's being espoused, you can just have the feeling of those words together, and that you know them and can sing along with that melody with your fist up in the air. It's a wild vehicle for sentiment, because it's so powerful on the musical front.
Sarah Harmer
Image
My sense of divine brings with it a strange sound of music with its glories, a marvellous melody sounding like a multitude of flutes.
Paul Twitchell
Image
Lately I haven't been able to write for the guitar - it'll usually start out with a melody on the bass, and I'll layer vocals. I just can't really physically hear the guitar anymore, so I'll just go into GarageBand and play around with the keys. I'll sit on a melody or some lyrics for a really long time and just play with it.
Sarah Jaffe
Image
And when one person taps out a beat, while another leads into the melody, or when three people discover a harmony they never knew existed, or a crowd joins in on a chorus as though to raise the ceiling a few feet higher, then they also know there is hope for the world.
Pete Seeger
Image
I have never doubted the importance of melody. I like melody very much, and I consider it the most important element in music, and I labour many years on the improvement of its quality in my compositions.
Sergei Prokofiev
