Q: Hey, I've just started writing songs, do you start with the lyrics then produce/find the instrumental, or vice versa? Or is it a case to case basis?
A: well, i think there is a big piece of the picture you are totally forgetting about, which is the music of the lyrics. so, not the lyric, not the instrumental, but the melody the voice sings ..... you didn't mention that part ... anyway i do that part at the same time as the lyrics. and the chords are usually there at the same time also
