Lyrics in Progress

<br /> <br /> Hey Steve,<br /> <br /> <br />  <br /> <br /> <br /> There are currently no plans for "Knight Templar". I will try to do a few rock songs myself ("pay them back", "spill blood", "cut you out" and others), but at the  moment I'm recording older<br /> folk songs ("peaceful times" and "shall I live"), well, trying to... I'm not a musician, so my own stuff never comes out quite the way I envision it :-(<br /> <br /> <br />  <br /> <br /> <br /> As for collaborations there are quite a few interesting projects in the pipeline. Nothing commercial, mind, but exciting all the same. Stay tuned!<br /> <br /> <br />  <br /> <br /> <br /> Nice to hear from you,<br /> <br /> <br />  <br /> <br /> <br /> Bernd<br /> <br /> <br />  <br /> <br /> <br />  <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />

<br /> <br /> Hi Steve's girlfriend,<br /> <br /> <br />  <br /> <br /> <br /> it's a well enough written chorus as is that you are suggesting , but (isn't there always a 'but'?) it would put too much weight on these words, particularly the reference to Nero.<br /> <br /> <br />  <br /> <br /> <br /> I built in this reference to hint on Breivik's lunacy. If a self-appointed hero compares himself to a Roman emperor he will use any name EXCEPT Nero. By this 'mistake' the narrater in this song<br /> reveals his own mental incapacity.<br /> <br /> <br />  <br /> <br /> <br /> One could argue that this 'trick' or catch actually weakens my lyrics. But the last thing I would want was to make my song (or rather my lyrics as there is no tune yet) some kind of Nazi hymn<br /> <br /> <br />  <br /> <br /> <br /> As to the structure, yes, it is rather simple: verse verse bridge(?!) verse verse, the first and last verses serving as intro and outro, respectively. If a composer takes a liking to my text and<br /> a chorus will be needed I may use the bridge as chorus or rewrite it accordingly. It happens every once in a while that I have to rewrite my lyrics to make them match musical ideas of my<br /> partners. At the moment I'm rewriting "a place to live".<br /> <br /> <br />  <br /> <br /> <br /> Thank you for your comment. I do appreciate your thoughts.<br /> <br /> <br />  <br /> <br /> <br /> Bernd<br /> <br /> <br />  <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
