Richard, in my experience, every place is a good place for a new melody to come up. BTW the worst place (and the most frequent) is the bed during the REM phase... I have to immediately stand up and write down the melody otherwise, the day after, I'll forget it.

We were camping in stunning Pembroke coastal scenery... but the most inspiring place to think of tunes, I found, was the shower; the only problem being the risk of 50p running out the water stopping abruptly, so the ablutions had to happen first and fast! Where does anyone else find is a good place to invent tunes? Yours in hopefully non-contentious cheer, Richard.

I'm impressed that you find you can write decent tunes in your sleep, Valerio - I recently woke up from a dream with a world-beatingly fantastic tune in it, and to my glee found I could still remember part of it. Then as the layers of sleep peeled away I was mortified to realise I'd just re-hashed I did it my way... I don't even particularly like the song! Best wishes, Richard. Valerio M.

Presumably that clifftop experience already mentioned by others is what inspired the famous novel 'Fatal Fall' by Eileen Dover.
