Melodies don’t need to be complex

As witnessed by this Heatmiser tune, which has been running through my head a solid week now. The entire song’s melody (except for that little bridge there) is made from the same 4 notes.

[audio:12_Not_Half_Right.mp3]

And I love how on the third chord, the melody hangs on the 9th of that II7 – it adds a nice tension to the phrase..
