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'm not sure when the completed song will be published. I'm not even sure if it will ever be published. Most of the songs I've written for amateur musicians never were, but at least this song's lyrics will! Right here, right now: dancing through the light...
Post lesenThe structure of the song is (ignoring the instrumental parts): Verse Chorus Verse Chorus Bridge Chorus Chorus. The bridge is rather weird, or, say, difficult to work with. Eight or nine lines, most with just three syllables, one with only one. In case...
Post lesenFirst, here is the music to the verse of my current little project: 117verse (M3U for Microsoft Mediaplayer), 117verse.mp3 (mp3 if M3U doesn't work) I came up with a text for the second line quite instantly: "I am blinking as the sun comes out". Maybe...

Post lesenI've tried writing a few lines to match Bernd's tune without actually being able to listen to it at the moment. Could be crap, but then, could also be great: why should they care and claim that she is the wrong one for you how dare they judge about what...
Post lesennot yet approved by the composer: your looks, your strength, your charm, and your wit bewitch all the women in town at your job you're a man of renown but I've had a glimpse into the pit light and dark are just the two sides of the same light and dark...
Post lesenAlex wanted the chorus to rhyme on "same" in the last line, so here's an alternative chorus: light and dark are just the two sides of the same light and dark it's the nature and kind of the game
Post lesenNew potential partners. I've received three pieces of music I'm supposed to find matching words for. The song lines are represented by MIDI saxophones. The first song may become "light and dark". I've written and adjusted the chorus first that stands...
