Watching Ed and Stone working on Daughter in that PJ20 clip really drilled home what a great vocal melody that is.

Yeah this might be his best
Which part? All of it?

Its a curious melody in that....its kind of one long melodic phrase and not a repeating sort of melodic stanza? The verses at least....actually quite impressive.

We're all kind of sick and tired of it but "Better Man" has a really lovely melody with a real timeless quality to it

It doesn't do that in the chorus, and that's the prettiest part

I award less points any time his vocal melody just follows the guitar.
even if he also wrote the guitar part?
