Thank you, Michael.
I didn’t intentionally stress what you reflected back to me, but it is indeed what I also believe to be true, and I’m glad my conviction came through.
Songs have changed, so the way we think about them and write them changes too.
I’m a songwriter, not a songwriting guru! So I’m not on a pedestal, I’m in the trenches.
I really appreciate the kind words.
Best wishes,
Tony

You ask to see if the song in question have full chords or a riff. What are the chords – or is the bass line the important thing. What is the song’s key or does it even seem to have a key. Ie you have accepted that many songs no longer have a traditional melody 100% wedded to block chords below but are now in a form of counterpoint wherein the melody shows considerable pitch and timing independence from the riff and bass-line below. bravo !
