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...

celebrating 300 unique lyrics

that is: not counting rewrites and cowrites. "fish or cut bait" is number 300. Two different lyrics share the same title: "up to you". If you're a composer (musician, producer) you have the chance to find the perfect lyrics for your song within these...

fish or cut bait

No, I didn't know that expression. I found it in a dictionary. But after John Lennon used it, I think it's okay that I use it, too. Blues-Rock, female vocals: I need your love, Babe I need you right here with me tonight I need your love so much, (Babe,)...

why does it have to hurt to gain your sympathy - III

I mentioned that there should be no problem inventing any nasty or naughty things that men would do, didn't I? They cheat, and do so repeatedly ;-) The verses: Babe, we had it going on Oh, the time with you was wonderful Babe, I know things have gone...

why does it have to hurt to gain your sympathy - II
