I'd written the chorus during a break at work: is it me or him? are you right or wrong? you got to decide whose side you're on is it now or then? do not wait too long! you got to decide whose side you're on Over the last three days I have prepared a backing...
I've written songs and lyrics since eleven years. My very first song was "Spring". To date there are 76 songs, and 261 lyrics by myself. As I'm not exactly a musician, let alone a composer, it is much more exciting to state how many lyrics have been set...
Coming back from my vacation I brought a second chorus with me that I had come up with when I spotted a T-shirt with that particular line printed on: dare to dream your dreams belong to you dare to dream most dreams may not come true (yet) dare to dream...
Warning: theses lyrics are politically/socially incorrect and meant to be! Don't read any further if you're sensitive ;-) My sketches for two verses: do you see the fat man tryin' to get through that door maybe we should pierce him to let out some air...
There sure is an advantage to writing lyrics when there is no fixed tune! Although I used my former notes I overturned the meter of the verses: do you see that fat old fart tryin' to sqeeze her belly | through the diner's door I could not believe my eyes...
The hook is the outstanding part in song lyrics. It's what people remember and identify the song by. My Swiss/Albanian partner, Flamur, named our song "see inside me" instead of "don't turn your back on me". And he is right! The line "you don't want to...
I've completed the second verse: Hey Joy, please stay awhile you put a smile upon my face you're always carefree as a kid you make my life gather pace First I had "... make me feel carefree as a kid" but I like the second version better that keeps up...
I've written a bridge: they say "stop hanging around, stop daydreaming, try to be sound" they say "get your feet on the ground, do something sensible, do come round" I'm actually not THAT happy 'rhyming' "around" with "around" (or "round") yet I couldn't...
Until now, "Joy" has a simple verse - chorus - verse - chorus structure. Instead of adding a bridge I added a little 'outro' or 'tag': all sorrows fade into the sky when you're here The line "all sorrows fade into the sky" takes up the last line from...
Truth be told, when I recorded "by the seven seas" I simply overlooked that the last 'verse' was not meant as a verse at all but as bridge. The first two lines had the same meter as in the verses, the other two could be fitted into the tune quite easily....
... sort of wrote itself. You may note that the rhyming pattern of the verses is the same as for the chorus. That's not too great, actually. At least the meter differs. I added a lift with a slightly different rhyming pattern: X A X A instead of A B A...
Do you remember "Dear Prudence" by John Lennon? It was one of my favorites at that time, and I used to sing it by the campfire or whenever an opportunity arose. I had it in mind when I wrote "Joy". A song about the subject - and a girl as well. There...
Hey Joy, come and join me let's toy around and have some fun it's such a fine day today so let's get crazy in the sun Joy, when you smile at me I feel so good Joy, when we're making love I get so high Joy, when we're talking I feel understood Joy, when...
It's often like this: one line of text springs to my mind and somehow I can't get away from it. This time I got stuck with the line "hey, hey, hey, hey, I can see you flying" that I used as dummy text for the bachgroud choir of Flamur's new song. Anyway,...
I've begun to work on a third song for Flamur. The mp3 file is called E_di_Demo - whatever that's supposed to mean. It's sung in Albanian. First step: identify the structure It is: intro - verse - lift - chorus - choral part - verse - lift - chorus- choral...
CHORUS: girl, I never reached you you just used to turn me down girl, you never let me help when you were about to drown A bit corny, I know. I liked my former line with 'my helping hand', but I couldn't find any viable rhyme that would fit. The repeated...
VERSE 1: your life was a drag filled with chores and duties just because you were the kid in a world of adult rule you were supposed to function and obey they suppressed your weak attempts to lead your own life ... VERSE 2: one day you packed your things...
When I'm bored I write lyrics. "tall" is basically fun stuff. Its verses: I have grown three meters tall it looks like I'm still growing to get through doors I have to crawl in rooms I must keep bowing you can imagine that I'm strong and must be very...
I had forgotten the intro! You know, I had noted the times, when the verses, choruses, or bridge begin, to listen into the parts repeatedly while I was writing and editing lines of text until they matched the tune. While I listened to the chorus about...
I already knew what I wanted to tell in the verses. Today I put the first verse down, referring to Rhymezone for rhymes to "cute" and "her": she was pretty, she was cute I was smitten, without dispute I tried to get it off with her I didn't know what...
It's not the first song lyrics that I've come up with when I was swimming. There's nothing much to do when swimming, you just move your arms and legs a little, and you breathe in and out, in and out... Very relaxing, indeed! I let my mind wander and sometimes...
When I woke up this morning the lyrics were there in my mind - maybe the leftovers of an unpleasant dream? There's just the chorus at the moment, but it's quite obvious what the verses will have to tell: serves you right to feel what you made me feel...
Three verses plus a chorus plus a bridge should make complete song lyrics, right? Here's the verses that I've written: Verse 1: so your guy's walked out on you you feel unloved and deserted nothing much that you can do you are lost and disconcerted [I...
A fresh and cheeky song by Alex Geibel with my lyrics written to match his tune: Pull the Strings (on SoundClick) Chorus: I'm gonna spread my wings I'm gonna live my dream one day you'll see me pull the strings I will live like the kings my life will...
I edited the second verse to reduce the number of repeated 'you know - I knows', and also make the verse more similar to verse one: you know I wasn't true to you it's true that others shared my bed I know what you had to go through so you had rather I'd...
