I have a question, I am writing songs for the first time. Well, I am writing the music for the lyrics that a bandmate is writing. When we put the song together, He sings the lyrics spontaneously along with the chord progression I came up with. I have never written anything original until now, but shouldn't you write a melody line too?

Maybe I'm wrong, this is a new area for me. How do you guys do it?
