    Imagine if you could travel back to medieval times. I wonder if people back then would've liked this music too. I mean, probably. You'd be a famous bard either way, just because your music is so different.

    Ya know, I'm beginning to consider the fact that some of these melodies/baselines of modern songs might have been played WAY back, just no one made it into a song. I mean, there's only a limited number of combinations you can put together that sound good.
