When you're trying to solve a lyrical problem, it can come in handy. It is also another source for inspiration when the solutions continue to elude you. I am all for anything that will assist me in writing the best possible lyrics for a song, and I think this is a worthy tool to have.
I prefer writing the lyrics to the music...it helps me get the phrasing right and the lyrical "meter" right....I simply put on the headphones and loop the song over and over until my head is clear of the junk inside and my mind starts to open up to words...the closest thing I can call it is it is almost a dream state without the sleep. but if your head is cluttered with daily grind stuff like what you didn't get done at work or a fight you had with your spouse..forget it. when I collaborate with people I don't want to hear what they have in mind..I like a clean slate to work from without any pre-concieved ideas.. just my 2 cents
