i write lyrics first, but then i'm terrible at writing melodies. i keep hearing from people that they hear melodies in their heads ... lucky them. fortunately, in my current band i don't play the guitar or sing, just the keyboards andviolin, so the song structure does not depend so much on my parts.
i think the danger in writing lyrics separately from the melody is that the words have to stretch unnaturally to fit, and that makes music sound awkward.
