From Pathfinder Wiki
A songwriter writes the entire song, from words, to music, to melody and harmony. He/she is both the lyricist and the melodist. A lyricist basically writes poetry in a manner that would be easy to apply music to. They often work closely with a melodist, who deals mainly with the melody, harmony, instruments, and the like. Melodists are often called composers, even for non-classical music.
