would you think it better to write lyrics to 1 song, then make the music, or write the lyrics to multiple songs and then do the music for all of them at the same time/1 by 1?
absolutely neither. doing the lyrics and music entirely separately like that, i must admit, is a fun challenge and an interesting endeavor, but i strongly and hugely prefer to let the music and lyrics come into existence at exactly the same time. they both need each other so much. it is very chicken/egg
