I describe my ongoing lyrics writing projects. Where I get my ideas, how I match my words with other people's music, which little helpers I use...
I've been busy rhyming. The structure of the song will become verse-verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus. Here are my verses (the bridge is still missing). Here and there the intonation is a little off, but that should be acceptable - it's a fun song...
