Grew up listening to South African music giants Hugh Masekela and Dollar Brand. Have always known this to be the case, but the 4 chord always has some type of alteration to it, creating tension and dissonance. I composed this catchy melody which I hope captures the essence of this melodic mechanism. Take a listen and let me know if you know what I'm talking about.

Someone recently asked me the question of what is melody. Got me thinking. I knew in my mind what melody is but to specifically explain in my own words, I had to really think about it.

To me melody is the soul of music. It is the essence of your being. Not to sound too exotic, melody is that single voice that truly exemplifies your inner feelings. It is that one horizontal line of sound produced by any instrument which can only play one sound at a time but moving in different dire...

Creativity and the Songwriter

These are some of my personal insights to writing original songs. Perhaps this might resonate with the new or even experienced songwriters amongst you. I would welcome your thoughts and opinions. They would be of interest to many of us who write from our hearts and souls.
