Marksmania's definitions

Songwriter

Someone who can write music, but isn't talented enough themselves to sing the songs. They have to get someone to sing it for them. Or the exact opposite of a person who sings but aren't smart enough to write the songs themselves.

Within Metal a songwriter is the equivalent of rape. It should not happen! Everywhere else it seems to be accepted not to write your own songs.

In order to sell albums most pop-musicians need a songwriter.
