The best lyric in the world will never be heard unless its married to the right music.

Trouble is here many so called lyric writers, can not change what they have, to suit the music that evolves during a collaboration.

Most lyric writers dont write with a musical composers knowledge
thats why it's important to study music, and to study why those songs in the charts work.

Maybe you know all this? but many do not, I think you have had some great responses to your original question, but not sure why
the thread is still going on.



One of the most important principles of songwriting is to remember that a good song is a partnership of many different components, all working together to produce a satisfying musical experience.

In that respect, song components are either enhancing or compromising their combined effects.
