More From Ken Hensley

The rhythm is below me, the rhythm of the heat. the rhythm is around me, the rhythm has control. the rhythm is inside me, the rhythm has my soul.

Hunter can write a melody and stuff like that, but his forte is lyrics. he can write a serviceable melody to hang his lyrics on, and sometimes he comes up with something really nice.
Nice Writing Hunters
There's no difference between lyrics and poetry. words are words. the only difference is the people who are in academic positions and call themselves poets and have an academic stance. they've got something to lose if they say it's all poetry; if there's not music to it, and you have to wear a certain kind of checkered shirt or something like that. it's all the same. lyrics are lyrics, poetry is poetry, lyrics are poetry, and poetry is lyrics. they are interchangeable to me.
Lyric Poetry Differences People
Melodies can be good depending on the context. you can have a simple melody, and if the harmony behind it is interesting, it can make a very simple melody really different. you can also have a complex melody. the more complex it is, the harder it is to sing, and then sometimes it can sound contrived. you could write a melody that would be fine on a saxophone but if you give it to a singer, it can sound raunchy.
Writing Simple Giving
Sometimes melody and sometimes lyrics. it depends on the tempo and feel of the song. slower pieces usually begin with melody and faster ones with lyrics. i write for the song and it leads me to my conclusion.
Song Writing Pieces
I have a structured songwriting process. i start with the music and try to come up with musical ideas, then the melody, then the hook, and the lyrics come last. some people start with the lyrics first because they know what they want to talk about and they just write a whole bunch of lyrical ideas, but for me the music tells me what to talk about.
