The advantage of the gypsy language, even though I don't understand it that much, the language is perfect melody.

Melodies can be good depending on the context. You can have a simple melody, and if the harmony behind it is interesting, it can make a very simple melody really different.

You could write a melody that would be fine on a saxophone but if you give it to a singer, it can sound raunchy.
I like to get a vibe first, then a melody and really beat up the melody for a while, then try and find a lyric that really suits him/her.

And that compassion was everything.~
