Melodies are incredibly important to a great song, and I’m going to show you how you can achieve strong melodies your listeners will love. Melodies create that initial attraction to a song that makes people want to hear it again. You can have the most profound lyrics ever written, but if they’re attached to an uninteresting melody, no one’s going to stick around to find that out. A great melody should easily stick in the heads of anyone who hears it.

So when it comes to your songs:

If not, you probably just need to know the specific elements that most great melodies have in common. After all, those elements are what’s making them appealing to listeners.

My name is Anthony Ceseri and like yourself, I’m a songwriter. For no apparent reason, I used to think I was the greatest songwriter around when I first started writing songs (I definitely wasn’t, as I’ll tell you about in a second). So one day I decided to submit one of my songs for a professional review to see all the "great things" that would be said about it. Haaa... wow, was I wrong! My song got TORN APART in that review.

I wanted to find out if it was just a fluke, so I submitted a few more songs for review, with the same brutal results. But looking back on it, those reviews were deservedly bad. One of the things that appeared as a theme in those early reviews was that my melodies were all over the place. They were practically unsingable.

Then I thought about all of my favorite songs and how easy they were to sing, so I needed to understand what the best songs were doing melodically, if I wanted to write great melodies myself. So I built a solid songwriting education for myself and made it my mission to know what makes melodies listeners want to hear.

As a result of that I ended up analyzing a ton of hit songs for articles on my own website and for other great songwriting websites, like USA Songwriting Competition’s Blog and CD Baby’s Do It Yourself Musician’s Blog. I’ve even had my writings appear as examples in the book Songwriting Without Boundaries, by Pat Pattison, who’s an acclaimed Lyric Writing Professor at Berklee College of Music.
