does anyone know why roger used the same melody so many times on pros and cons?

do you have the answer?

I don't know other than you stick with something when it works... I think the music on that album is unbelievable!

yes it is definitely a brilliant album.

Because he can't write dick.

he used the same melody because he wanted the same "feel" throughout the album..much like the same theme running throughout the wall album....if you take a harder listen to amused to death he used the same poetry based tricks on that album too. in poetry there are devises called assonance and alliteration..simply put they are repeating vowel and consonant sounds.....throughout pro's and con's waters used these devices when writing the lyrics.....the match of a blended melody carrying throughout fits well in my opinion, making the entire album "flow' thusly telling the story of a troubled relationship and the protagonist learning to love again.

yes i know b'cos he like to repeat things

It's hard to fill a whole album of music when you have not any new musical ideas since The Wall, you know.

ha actually had pros and cons and the wall at the same time. and he let them choose one, they chose the wall because they thought pros and cons was too personal. and the one they didn't choose was going to be a solo record.

Waters writes mostly concept albums (The Wall, Dark Side), or close to concept albums. They are supposed to have repetitive themes because they are telling a story, they are a sequence of events, s oit makes sense, the wall and dark side have alot of parts in more then one song, just listen and you will see.

I hope to God you aren't serious. If you are, I have no clue why you are even on this site???

yeah, i hope its a joke too, I agree...if you don't like waters' writing, then this ins't for you.

NNJ-- You are quite obviously wrong. The Final Cut is characterised almost entirely by dick. Ergo, I contest that Roger can write dick. Not much else, though.

Indeed however, The Wall and DSotM simply don't beat their musical themes to death the way Pros and Cons does.
As evidenced in the songs Sea Shell and Stone, Chain of Life, and Breathe in Music from the Body.
...because this forum is only for those who have a slavish adoration for all things Roger-related.

if your pro-Gilmour don't write in the Roger Waters thread because its for Rogers fans.

Actually, its not. Its for everybody, and you cant force the guy to feel like you. Not everybody loves Waters dick...
