Me too.


Same here.

For me the early part of writing lyrics is about getting something down to work with. I'm not all that fussed because whatever I get down is just a starting place.

Once I have something, I then use the writing tools that I've picked up over the years and work on making my lyrics cohesive and as engaging as I can.

With music, I often work on music and lyrics side-by side. So, when a lyric changes, my melody (or chord) may or may not also change. Again, with music, I firstly aim to get a melody in place that fits the rhythm and syllabic stress of the lyrics. Once that's done, then I modify it to make it more interesting.
