I also think it doesn’t matter whether lyrics or music come first or at the same time, etc. There’s more than one way to write a song. Those with intuition/talent/awareness can write something that others hear words in or music in the words, and make a connection; ultimately creating a moving song. Sometimes that involves more than one person.


Actually you are right, But often the best results happen if the two are written together,

Many hit songs happen because someone , writes a lyric to an existing song and then

gets someone else to write an original score ultimately writing a song who's lyric has an appeal

to millions of people could be the answer ? How you get there does not come into it ,

One of the most important principles of songwriting is to remember that a good song is a partnership of many different components, all working together to produce a satisfying musical experience.

In that respect, song components are either enhancing or compromising their combined effects.
