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...
Roy wrote: "... It was only when others and yourself explained just what it meant, that I got it. ... but for me a small extra line would to flower", so this is how the extended chorus reads:make it all clear. So my suggestion is just that, a suggestion....
Post lesenAfter listening to Ludmila's recording of "ultramarine" a couple more times I found that it actually sounds very French. It wouldn't sound half as good with English lyrics. There is music that sounds better with French words than with English, like Chansons,...
Post lesenMore feedback in the manner "country must be conversational", so here are my suggestions trying to reduce educated lingo: LIFT: you may think you can dictate to me you may think you can lay down the law you base your views on what's best for you but your...

Post lesenI've not worked on the coutry jargon yet - I'll probably need some assistence here, but I've extended the chorus and written an additional verse and pre-chorus. I also rearranged the verses to obtain a sensible sequence: I won't give in VERSE my freedom...
Post lesenCraig took an interest in "I won't give in" but he needs it longer, and he wants to give it a 'country flavour'. This is what Craig writes: ... Change some of the words to make it cater more to a country audience Make the chorus twice as long Write a...
