After identifying the lyrics that would fit into a "carpe diem" collection I have actually begun to edit and comment on them. I think that eventually the collection will comprise between two and three dozen songs or song lyrics. All have been published...
I think I'll add just the same two lines to each verse: it just happens, just like that, someone will be blamed you can reason, you can argue, the result's the same Then I've put down a first draft for the bridge: just one shot just one second just some...
Nothing much to report, actually. Over the last couple of weeks - including a two weeks vacation on my part - Craig and I corresponded about an older text that I'd originally written for Markus. This is its current state: VERSE it's not too late a wrong...
Over the last couple of days I have prepared the accompaniment for yet another rock tune in the style of "spill blood", "hot stuff", or "come real". I just didn't have a melody (nothing much of a melody in this kind of songs anyway) or fitting words....
I still don't have a title, hence I keep on using "repulsion" as a fill-in. I would like to draw your attention to the meter of the verses: she crawls through a humid dungeon that no one but her can see in a dark alcove someone is hiding she notes that...
Now, that Fredy has published his version of "Angel", which makes it the third tune for the same lyrics*, I somehow got inspired to write something else about angels. The line "where angels go to weep" sprang to my mind (and yes, it's a very very sad...
There are two new MotorPlanet songs that definitely have no recognizable text yet. One is a Boogie - gosh, how I love it. It's one of these pieces where you have to jump up. Three verses. The other is some kind of classic(?) Rock. Lyrically, I can make...
Writing the first verses went quite smoothly. I knew what I wanted to say and simply had to squeeze the lines in my head into a meter that would make them lyrics. When thinking about "jealousy" as a viable rhyme for "... me" I suddenly knew about who...
I kept wondering, will people approve of the absurd last lines in each verse of "against the wall". While the first three lines of each verse make sense - well, more or less (the reference to meat eating vegans doesn't make THAT much sense) - the last...
in our midst: guided by delusion they trample down the land to our life in profusion they will put an end they're following a leader with a crippled mind they silence any pleader leaving ruin behind the monsters that we've nourished in our midst have...
Namely mine aren't. I'm dealing lyrics like a prostitute deals her favors: everybody can use them. The difference is that I don't get paid. I originally wrote "I believe (in our love)" to match a tune by Markus: original lyrics That was in 2009. In 2011...
More often than not my lyrical ideas begin with a chorus (tune and words). Later I try to figure out stories or scenes that might lead up to that particular chorus. The first and third lines were buzzing in my mind when I got up this morning. While I...
This is what I had written to match Adrian's tune: I came across this beautiful girl (I) tried to start some small talk her good looks put my mind in a whirl (I) tried to not make her balk somehow my guileless words got her confused she frowned and looked...
After a phase of co-writing ("Spanish girl" and "anywhere you want") it's about time to write some more original stuff again. Here is my suggestion for a contemporary song with a fifties Rock'n Roll feeling to it. It's called "time warp whirl". Should...
I had got it wrong. Holger's - MotorPlanet's - Rock song goes "verse verse chorus chorus bridge [solo] chorus chorus". I simply hadn't remembered correctly. The chorus is - or the choruses are - rather short, the bridge - if you could call it that - is...
Don't ask me what that means. I have no idea. I have a few notes in German and English, though, that kind of give me the general idea. The song called "Kush" (who) is Albanian. I am supposed to create matching English lyrics for it. This is the original...
sometimes like the sporadic bubble that rises from a moor lake, sometimes like sparkling water... Basically, there was just one single line that kept popping up in my mind: seize your life seize your life seize your life today (I love that "today"!) Meanwhile,...
Two verses for Flamur's (the Albanian's) song (see: si e marr po me dukesh... ): try to look me in the eye - eye to eye while you give me a reason why - reason why you have turned away from me, hurting me you have turned away don't let me fade like memories...
I'm citing Steven Tyler (Does the noise in my head bother you, New York 2012, p. 290): "A song is constructed like a tree - from roots to branches, and when it's done you hope it bears fruit. You need a first verse, next a second verse, then a prechorus,...
The story until now: top secret - I'm working on yet another song top secret - II top secret - III ever and ever - an alternate chorus The procedure for the verses is much the same as for the chorus, except that they are supposed to differ, and that they...
I've altered the chorus of "ever and ever" that I'll rename either "together forever" or "now and forever" or "I'm ready" (the latter two are suggestions by Robert): I’m ready to say the words "I love you - now and forever" I’m ready to take the oath...
Here's the story before: ever and ever - done? Then the rejection :-( ever and ever - rejected Then my newly gained freedom (of musical restrictions) and helpful hints from songwriting colleagues (thank you, Robert and Fran!). In the end a beautiful romantic...
During a bicycle tour I came up with a chorus for "ugly people", a politically - or rather socially - very incorrect text. I repeated it in my mind until we reached our guesthouse. Once there, I also added sketches for two verses The chorus for "dare...
This is the chorus that I brought back from my vacation (with exception of the last line that I added a minute ago): ugly people are an offence to the eye ugly people they could make you cry ugly people I keep wondering why do there have to be uh, quite...
Well, the words "ever and ever" may actually remain, maybe also the title, but as for the rest... So there's another 'free' lyric, I mean a lyric that's not been set to music. I'll use it as a 'template' for my next try ;-) Did the same for Kai H.: two...
