The Beatles had the knack of surprising us and that's what it's all about, Often or not it's what goes in front of the chord that surprises.

Some people have just not got an ear for writing original Chord runs, I find them far from boring. I cant write a song without a subtle modulation. the secret is making it all sound natural.

The fiftys Country music was very generic as was a lot of pop. Things are better today, in general .

It's a lot of suck it and see, Great melodys have great chord runs.

Sometimes simplicity is the answer to the right Prosody.

One of the most important principles of songwriting is to remember that a good song is a partnership of many different components, all working together to produce a satisfying musical experience.

In that respect, song components are either enhancing or compromising their combined effects.
