I play a little guitar. I think its easier to write the music first. However, sometimes you can take something you've written and make it fit. That's why it's fun to have a writing partner.

Everybody is differnt. Some prefer to have the music first, and write lyrics to match the mood of it. (Def Leppard, AC/DC, etc.) Some prefer the lyrics first, and write the music to match the mood generated by them (Elton John and Bernie Taupin). And, sometimes it just depends on the mood... Sometimes the music comes with the lyrics... Sometimes the lyrics come in a rhythm (and sometimes you have to wait for the music to come to you) and vice-versa. Right now, I'm really struggling to find the lyrics for a song I wrote. But I have very few (full) lyrics without possible (bad as they may be) music.
