I privilege the music over the lyrics.
Duncan Sheik

Utada Hikaru
But, Eminem... No, I've loved rap for a long time, especially when it got out of its first period and became this gangsta rap, ya know this heavy rap thing? That's when I started to fall in love with it. I loved the lyrics. I loved the beat.
Alan Vega
If a voice is just too nice, without an edge, it kinda all flows by. You forget it. You don't listen to the lyrics.

Then, once I have lyrics, being able to shape them around a song is nothing new for me, I've been doing that for 25 years. The soul searching part of it, the spontaneous part of it, that was, and remains, a really terrific process.
