Alanis Morissette
“My songwriting process has come full circle. It’s exactly the way I wrote when I was 10. Usually I start with a note that I hit, and that starts a melody and lyric all at the same time. Or I’ll have a line written down that I know I want to sing about, and I’ll sing it and then I will envelop the melody with whatever music is underneath. But the music and the lyrics are always written at the same time.”
