Someone told me once that songwriters write lyrics first, and then compose the melody to go with them. That seems totally backwards to me. Whenever I've made up a song, it's always the music that comes first. Not, of course, that I could by any stretch of the imagination be called a 'song-writer'. And maybe that's why - I've been going about it wrong all these years! Well, whaddyaknow.

Just to let you know, that's BS.
Song-writers write songs in all sorts of ways. Lyrics first, music first, both at the same time. . . (I have done all three).
Some folks prefer one approach, but anyone who says one way is THE way is full of crap.
