From a Toronto Star article on Burt Bacharach:
But after all this time, he still has no easy answer when asked the secret of a hit song.
He takes a long pause before coming up with two words.
"Durability and honesty. A song has to be able to sound good to you, even after you've heard it 20 times. And it better be honest as well, because it's out there forever, man."
Or as Bacharach and David once wrote: "There's Always Something There To Remind Me."
