A lyricist is a writer who specializes in song lyrics. A singer who writes the lyrics to songs is a singer-lyricist. This differentiates from a singer-songwriter, who also composes the song's melody in addition to the lyrics.

Collaboration

Collaboration takes different forms. Some composers and lyricists work closely together on the song, with each having an input into both words and tune. Often a lyricist will fill in the words to a tune already fully written out. Dorothy Fields worked in this way. Lyricists have often added words to an established tune, as Johnny Burke did with the Erroll Garner tune Misty. Some partnerships work almost totally independently, for example, Bernie Taupin famously writes lyrics and hands them over to Elton John, who then sets them to music, with minimum interaction between the two men.

How much part of the band is the lyricist?
Q. I am the permanent lyricist of our start-up band. The other members are my boyfriend on bass guitar, and his brother, the lead-singer on acoustic guitar. As I'll never feature on stage, how much part of the band am I? Should I just step back and let them get all the attention, and refer to the band as a two-man band?

A. Well that doesn t seem fair on your side!! If there is a chance of them getting famous in a few years, and somehow they comment about how this girl that the Bassist was dating made the first few lyrics of a song.. If that sounds like you are a part of the band, then yes.. You are. Just the fact of you asknig this question shows that you re not really happy with this task.. Try to be part of the band.. idk
