First and foremost, it's really strange to hear that I should beware of anyone or anything on Music Row. After 6 years in Nashville, I know all this....believe me.

People, I write for the love of the art...I also am learning to play tribal rhythms on a djembe for that same reason, the love of the art.

My only real motive for asking all of this is to fill a certain curiosity about how these things are actually made to happen.
Who knows if I should ever seriously decide to change my mind?

I am indeed a lyricist, I write from street level and do well to tell my stories as I see them unfold.
The percentage of importance that a lyric in and of itself lends to the finished song is entirely up to the individual, not one person to decide. However, the song isn't a song without lyrics, it's instrumental music. That is universal.

Such is my perspective on the whole thing.
