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...
sooner or later all things change sooner or later my time will come sooner or later we'll all succumb when our options are rearranged - sooner or later I checked out Rhymezone to find appropriate rhymes for "come" and "change", but in the end my good...
Post lesenAfter the rather dark and dooming "doomsday morn" a happier 'tune' this time (actually there is no tune yet, except in my mind while writing it) in my good old 'carpe diem' fashion. It's of the 'episodical' type. I only checked out the expression 'stubborn...

Post lesenIt seems that I've gone too far in my ambiguity. But since the text is rather generic replacing lines to change its mood is actually quite simple. I already had my doubts about the line "when you need warmth I'm deathly cold" (I still like it, but it...
Post lesenI felt like rhyming today ;-) Therefore, I dug out an older idea from my 'scrap book' - see also: yet more scraps - and wrote a few matching verses plus a bridge. I was done in a matter of minutes. I just shifted a few lines a bit at the end to improve...
