The Balance of Lyrics and Melody
Alex Fletcher:

Alex Fletcher:
Oh. You look angry. Click your pen.
Sophie Fisher:
A melody is like seeing someone for the first time. The physical attraction. Sex.
Alex Fletcher:
I so get that.
Sophie Fisher:
But then, as you get to know the person, that's the lyrics. Their story. Who they are underneath. It's the combination of the 2 that makes it magical.
