The relationship between music and lyrics is an interesting one. In some genres, like EDM, the music and the effect it has on your body and emotions is all that matters and lyrics can feel like an afterthought if present at all, but in others, music and lyrics complement one another, and some artists are such supreme writers and poets that the music comes second to the message.
This bounty is to discuss writers like that. Who is your personal favourite songwriter, or who would you say is the best to ever do it? Tell us, tell us why, and post either a few lyrics of theirs or a link to a song to show us their brilliance.
The best 12 submissions get $3 apiece. Submissions without either example lyrics or a link to a song will be rejected. If you got involved in the discussion about the song lyrics that became your personal mantra, the writer of those lyrics is one obvious place to start!
