Re: Who wrote the lyrics for the songs of Creed?
Wow!! Some people still think that Mark was the lyrical force behind Creed.
I have to disagree with them COMPLETELY.
I have found absolutely no similarities whatsoever between Creed and Alter Bridge lyrically.
I have noticed that, although Mark has shown to be a competent lyricist in AB, he tried to write too much like Scott. The structure to AB songs (lyrically) are far inferior to Creed - they don't flow as well. Don't get me wrong, I love AB, but Scott was the lyrical force behind Creed.
Scott's lyrics in TGD were simple, yet well structured eg Justify, Surround Me and Broken. And how many times does Stapp use the term 'Friend' in TGD? That word popped up quite a number of times in Creed songs eg Higher, Hide, My Sacrifice.
Another great example is Scott himself - a tortured soul if ever there was one. Think of him and look at the lyrics to the My Own Prison album.
