Most of my texts actually have a melody, if only in my head. The melody for the chorus of "terminal disease" was there together with the words, there was no first or after. Again, when I had the idea for the first line of the first verse, I had a melody in my head at the same time. Only the bridge existed as 'text only' at the beginning.
Since I cannot read or write notes, and actually know hardly anything at all about music, I have to record the melody if I want to remember it for later. "Terminal disease" is a song I would like to 'produce' myself, so I had to record it to make sure I don't forget it.
Here is how I remember melodies: link Alternatively (no Windows Media Player) you can download the (small) file: link
