Hey John,

No, I am not saying that at all. The lyricist has a vital and important role to play in the finished work.

The lyricist is essential to the production and brings the song to life.

Every role is important in my opinion.

Teamwork has always been proven to achieve great outcomes and every member of that team must not only contribute, but be a part of the whole process.

Every team member should work towards getting the best positive outcome for the project. Without the roles of each individual player ,it will not work.

cheers, niteshift
