I write the vocals last, because I wanted to invent the music first and push the music to the level that I had to compete against it.

Summary

This quote suggests that the speaker, likely a songwriter or musician, approaches their creative process by prioritizing the music composition over the vocals. By intentionally writing the music first and aiming to produce an excellent piece, they create a strong foundation that challenges them to create equally impressive vocal melodies and lyrics that can complement and rival the music’s intensity and quality. This method allows them to continually surpass their own expectations and produce unique and compelling compositions.
