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 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...
Post lesenAfter proof-reading, correcting, and modifying the songs I have written so far I have published my complete lyrics collection: the Lot It also contains six original versions of songs that were rewritten, one text that was adapted for a femals singer,...
Post lesenThis 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...
Post lesenI'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...

Post lesenI 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"...
Post lesenLife 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....
Post lesenWhile 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...
Post lesenI'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...
