eli5 – Putting a song together.

121 views

Can someone explain how a band puts a song together? From lyrics, how do the individual instruments then find their best “supporting role” for those lyrics. How much say do individual musicians eg. the drummer or lead guitarist have in what and how they play their instruments. Cheers.

it all depends on the writer. some music is written lyrics first, while other music is written melody first. there are no rules when it comes to songwriting (other than musical theory, but any “rules” are just general guidlines)
