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...

Beco - III

I may have to rewrite most of what I've written so far. It depends on how my lines of text work together with the music - that I haven't heard so far. I had only Stasy's first draft that I used as template. Nevertheless, I wrote a few more lines that...

My 340 lyrics in one big collection

Beco - II

This is what I have put down so far orientating myself by Stasy's draft. The two verses (?) should be fine. As for the longer part I don't know. Stasy also had a kind of outro dealing with Beco's death. Go! the green flag is up nerves of steel will win...

Beco (Ayrton Senna)

I'm not even sure if I'm supposed to write these lyrics after Stasy from Hot Mama already had a try at it. Maybe that after accepting two of my lyrics Hot Mama might make it three ;-) I'm not at all interested in car racing, hence I have no inkling of...

I don't know where Google got its estimated 10,8 million hits for the phrase "make no prisoners" - which would be the same expression as in German - versus 1,08 million hits for "take no prisoners" (today the hit counts are VERY different, yet "make"...

a silver stream and three new lyrics on my homepage

The title I'm writing for Ethan will be "silver stream". Other than it suggests it will become a rather depressing text: VERSE a chain of dreary and dire days pass in a daze how much more will follow that you have to face each single day as gloomy as...

maybe I should re-edit and expand my song collection

I am done with the lyrics index and only intended to add a few subject indexes over the weekend to make it easier for composers to identify viable lyrics for their project. Yet meanwhile four more lyrics are written or in the pipe-line: After "dirty Dick"...

"dirty Dick" (!) will be the first text after collecting "the Lot"

Life goes on, so does creativity. I'm nearly done with putting together my most comprehensive lyrics collection to date while the first new "lunch-time lyric" came to my mind. It was a quick one, so there's nothing much to tell about the writing process....

correction: there are 'only' 336 lyrics, yet more than 150 songs...

While I am - still - working on my all-engrossing lyrics collection I am kind of raising an inventory as a sideline. I discovered one dublicate in my Excel-Sheet, another text was not a song text at all but containes four short 'narratives' I once wrote...

my lyrics collection

I've taken the first BIG hurdle: I've examined and corrected all my lyrics so far. There are 18 rewrites, and 132 more lyrics have been altered - from simple spelling corrections through shifted, added, or replaced words and lines. That means nearly half...
