Songwriters do you write lyrics or the music first?

Asked by dreamwolf (3163points) September 10th, 2011

I have always written the music first as a skeleton, and just play over the bar as I write the lyrics. Sometimes the melody comes first, but mostly music first. I have seem some musicians write down the lyrics down. I think its weird because at that point its just words with out melody, so it’s hard for me to feel it. How do you go about it?
