I've googled but still abit confused.
Composer compose music(they come up with the melody and harmony right?). Songwriter write SONGS, so does writing the SONGS include writing the lyrics & music melody as well??? So does that mean composer = songwriter??? because songs consist of music and lyrics and im really confused between the 2 different terms!!!

And also, do composer write lyrics too??
Thanks a million!!!
