Yes exactly this. One cannot go without the other.SmashLovesTitanQuest said:Everything comes together to make a song.
However, there are cases where one part is clearly superior to the other. Take for instance, these two songs from giant squid [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jf4tU9uwkXU] - I love them for their instrumentals and even the vocals fit, but the lyrics are...somehow subpar i.e. not conveying the meaning like I wish they could do stealing a bit from what the song could have been.
No, the best songs are those where everything fits together to really express the feeling of the song. For instance The Hounds by the Protomen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LChtBpTjvTY] in which our main villain Dr. Wily from the Megaman series sets up the the good Dr. Light for a murder he did not commit and sets, not only the media but the whole city against him - his hounds so to speak. From the driving feeling of the chase down to the bitter hatred of Wily for Light as well as his pure disdain for human life. Everything works together. It's, in my mind, one of the best villain songs ever created - to a good part because just because of the synergy.
Captcha: trust me. See? Even the Captcha thinks I'am right!
