I don't think I write music that way (if I understand what you're asking) but I think of music that way. This makes it very easy to play songs for sing along groups, for example. As long as I can 'hear' the melody in my head I can usually find the chord under it. This trick never ceases to amaze the uninitiated, who assume I have good knowledge of almost any song they can think of, whereas real musicians are never impressed. I am sure Farrah, Requiem (where is requiem?) and some others can agree.
