You Tonight

|
I've done some research on what aspects of music make a song popular. I've become convinced that one aspect is the structure of the melodic line, specifically that it needs to advance stepwise as in a scale. Jumps greater than whole steps make the song more complicated, while repeating the same notes make a song more simple.
I intended to compose a number of songs based on this idea, and the one that embodies the theory best is the one called 'You Tonight'
