Q: Hello bill, I have about seven different instrumental tracks but I have no idea how to get started on lyrics. what's your process for writing lyrics?
A: usually not like that, although a lot of people do it that way and i suppose it goes ok. What i do instead is write the whole thing together. it plays better to my strengths when i am able to custom write all the music to bend at the will of the lyric/melody. it's all written as one. you never know when you're gonna need the entire band to ditch into another section suddenly at bar 3 and a half, on a whim, based on some unexpected mention of the papacy or something
