Reserving blank to put things in some preferred order. First Things First.
I keep thinking about the Creative Process as a First-Things-First point to discuss everything else.
Recently (2020's) people began referring to Song-Writers as 'Creatives', a noun, like Cook, Carpenter, Candlestick-Maker.
The First Thing is to 'create', to write Lyrics, possibly composing Melody at the same time, perhaps with some arrangement (instrumental accompaniment).
'Product'. Having 'created', you now have something to consider for Copyright, Publishing, Marketing, Critique, all the other considerations. Your creation can be Critiqued, examined for Structure, Rhyme-Scheme, Conceptual Coherence, Poetic Appeal, Hook Factor and Memorability versus Ignorability and Forgettability. Prosody is how a Lyric and Melody work together in a Composition. Having created it, you can now address yourself to all these matters of analytics.

There will always be another song to be written. Someone will write it. Why not you? www.garyeandrews.com
