The writer takes credt for composing the song, but not as original band for the first release of the song to public (via live performance, or studio record). They make the first version of this song, they are the original artist who first played this song from written notes and lyrics, they are the original band any subsewuent covers should be attributed to. A band physically cannot cover a song that has not been published yet, but will be published by the writer in the future, which they cannot even be aware of. Like I said, covers, like Roman law, cannot apply backwards. The writer always has the credit for writing the song, but the band who first makes public release of the song (via record or live performance) is credited as original band, because this is the first public performance of this song (live, or studio recording), so any subsequent band pays tribute to this original artist when playing this song. But the song had been previously performed by another band, hence it's a cover. ![]()
