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...
Gary suggested exchanging the two parts of the chorus so the hook stands out more, so now it reads: I am feeling churned up I’m feeling turned on I waver between lust and rage I am feeling churned up I’m feeling turned on I feel like a tiger in a cage...
Post lesenFirst I had put down words and phrases that could describe what a young man might look for or do at a weekend: look for action, rocket, look for thrills or kicks, get me high, hang out, ... get pissed (that made it!). After writing the first verse and...

Post lesen... shall be the title of the new MotorPlanet song. I first put down dummy text (either the nonsense text Holger sings in his rough cut or any words that would fit but need not make sense). Next I invent lines that match with the same pattern, i.e. meter....
