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 changed the first line of the second verse from "Latin lover, smart seducer" to "smart seducer, Latin lover" to obtain a consistent rhyming pattern - X A X A - for all verses.
Post lesenActually there's a choice of Ron's version: Cast away this outer shell keep my desire within Replace my own persona with what you see in him ... and my own lunch time inspiration: I just hang around the bar and drown my misery in beer I admire you from...
Post lesenAfter compiling a few more lines - actually completing the lyrics except for the bridge - I decided to make them present tense: 'me' watching a couple dance and discovering my longing for 'her': time's frozen, I am spellbound I cannot keep my eyes from...

Post lesenCraig is working on another version for "Hold on", the original version originating from MotorPlanet. He requires two additional parts. But he also interprets the different song parts quite differently from me, so maybe my suggestions may not meet his...
Post lesenWhile watching a beautiful young swimmer at the public pool this morning I remembered that I used to envy a classmate in my school days. He was beautiful, he was a great athlete, he was everybody's darling - he seemed to have everything that I lacked....
Post lesenI'm not quite sure if this will be it. As I won't record the song before January anyway, there's plenty of time to decide. Maybe I'll use this text only as a template for something completely different. Anyway, I altered the first verse to: in close embracement...
