Music Writing Philosophy - Logic vs Emotion

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

It's an age old problem, how do you write music that's full of feeling and gets interesting ideas across.  How do you keep music coherent without becoming repetitive and boring? 
I believe that a balance between Train of thought Writing and goal based writing is the answer, but it is of course a big question!  I really want to know what you guys think of this one, because it's prog rock's specialty to have bucketloads of both
