neonman has a spectacular aura about
Only if each sound carries the same beat. Take Blowing in the Wind. When you say it blowing is two beats but when it is sung, it probably is stretched to double. Elton John had his collaborator pen the words first and then he would sit at the piano and compose. Others develop a riff and then start to put words to it. To me the classic poem put to music is American Pie.
