Yes! The natural rhythms of the English language are an ever-fresh fount of musical inspiration. It drives me crazy when the natural cadence of the language is thwarted by an imposed melody. I hadn't really thought, though, about how stresses are melodic as well as rhythmic. Lower pitches for unstressed syllables. Something new to think about when building a melody. Or, conversely, when writing lyrics to a melody that I've already got. Super useful! I especially like seeing you work through the process. Listening to you think is illuminating and inspiring. One of your best videos yet! 😀
Joanna, I have told you how much I have been enjoying all of these videos already, but I just wanted to share again, these are great. This one was quite interesting! Keep at it. 😉 P.S. yellow is a fabulous color on ya. 💛
