Howdi Malenac,  and welcome ... Just as the boards were in the process of changing...I was..commenting on another of your threads...and will go back...and see if I can find it..and comment on it again, as it did not take.... There are several folks who frequent the JPF boards who look at lyrics...and almost instantly...hear a melody. My Friend Harriet above....is one of them.....along with many other folks including myself..... So I believe your point is mute. Are the lyrics in various stages?...Yes. And... Are there times.. when suggestions are made by the composers....who are collaborating with the lyricists?....Yes... BUT Are there also lyrics that have been posted on the board...that require minimal, if any, changes...to put music to? Yes...there have been. I may be wrong but I don't believe...I've posted...a lyric...since...2002...that has not had a Melody going along with it in my mind. Another example...of...looking at someone else's lyric...and putting a melody to it....is Imagination written by Bill Cooper, Lyrics Board III...( Lost) ... Other than to ask for a pick up word ( which wouldn't have been absolutely necessary...but was personal preference on my part)..It required no changes...But because Bill is a perfectionist...He kept refining the lyric.... No changes were needed meter wise.....to make a melody sing. Taking this example a bit farther....Bobbie Gallup...who many of us look up to...as Mad'm Lyrics... ...then took this wee song in its worktape state.....and has it in the hands of a gentleman who runs the Imagination Library Reading Program for Dolly. Is it possible...that you are more comfortable with a certain type of lyric....and haven't branched out from that style?.. That would be an explanation as to why you feel.....our lyrics are poetry. I'm thinking, Malenac, that you probably write super lyrics and music of a specific limited style....or maybe... are not yet as comfortable at writing music for lyrics as you may have once thought. There are definitely Lyricists at JPF. best to you this afternoon...:) Kaley...
