He started with a cord progression he thought was awesome but his collaborators didn’t respond to at all. He backed up and restarted with a base line, which they loved…after which he put the same chord progression right on top, and the song was off to the races.

I am a lyricist but songs come to me with melodies, though I do not play! It seemed pretty weird before reading this because all I hear at first is the beat, the base line! Then the words become the melody. May only be me, but it works! Thank you for this blog and the time you spend teaching us how to become better writers, sharing the lessons you already learned, pushing us forward. I may never write a hit song BUT reading your blogs makes me think I could! Keep sharing! May you be blessed as you bless others! Thanks from South Carolina!
