Again, don't worry.  I said I was going to produce fully crafted songs in the future and that I was going to learn what I needed to learn.  However, I was just making a point here is all.  Some people can pick up on the greatness and catchiness of melodies without anything further needed while some people need more than just a simple melody.

Where's Pedro when you need him?

If people could understand that dramatic melody I was trying to convey, then that, alone, should be enough for my melody to be something great in their eyes.  Making this melody into a fully crafted song would then be something much greater.  For now, I was just showcasing my melodies since I was eager to share my claimed musical gift of creating good, catchy tunes in my head.  So, it's a case of eagerness rather than laziness.  However, some melodies cannot be understood by people as they are and, thus, require a beat and chords to go along with them.  That's what I did with my dramatic melody.   

IMHO It isn't the music, it's the marketing.

I take it then that people aren't understanding my melodies because, if they did, then they wouldn't be taking me lightly and saying my melodies aren't that good.  Given this, it might really be necessary then that I fully craft these melodies rather than simply having a beat and chords to go along with them.

 
You think?

I do.  When my melodies are fully crafted, then people should be able to understand the melodies I'm trying to convey.

 
I think you might be right.

I took it people did understand, for example, my Dramatic Tune.  But that they were just dismissing its greatness due to its lack of full craftsmanship.  But then I later assumed that people weren't understanding the melody at all.  If it was the former, then I told people to lower their standards so they can appreciate and embrace the melody's greatness and catchiness.  But, if it's the latter, then I need to fully craft the melody so that people can understand it.

Wow. The music I just listened to sounded incredibly like what my 3 year old Granddaughter did when she spent the day in my little studio and we played and recorded with the Roland A-300 Pro. We had so much fun
 
Kanye West comes to mind
 
That was a lot of reading. 
I'm kinda speechless
If I posted songs with this mindset I would have 10,000 songs in souncloud
the shallow concept of music today
why do I play?
this upsets me. I need to be alone for awhile

Simples.

Actually, listen to these recent, revised melodies of mine which have chords to go along with them.  Hopefully, you can understand the melodies I'm trying to convey.  If not, that's fine.  I know I can understand good, catchy melodies other people have made and presented in the format I have presented them.  So, hopefully, you can understand, too:

I've just realized that I have been going about this completely wrong all these years. I didn't know that I was supposed to proclaim myself Greatness.

All those snippets have the same feel to them, and there's nothing 'dark' or 'dramatic' about the first two.
 
To me, they sound like incidental music in a cheerful young kids TV show.
 

Then clearly, you did not get the melodies I was trying to convey.  That's fine.  Also, they're not cheerful tunes (except the motivational one because that one is in the key of C Major).  The 1st two tunes have black keys.  So, they are in a different key which makes them heavy and dark.

What if you play the notes C, E, G, & B flat......would that make it 'heavy & dark'?

My point is, the motivational tune is the cheerful one and the other two aren't.
