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...
It has a story that is nearly as weird as the song itself. Although I'm a lousy guitar player I love playing the guitar. Over time I record guitar tracks that I eventually paste together to create backing tracks, partly just so I can play solos on top...
Post lesenLunch-time lyrics, yet again. Put down darn quickly, yet quite good anyway - quality has nothing to do with the time one spends on things. You could tell that I'm proud of them. And their not nearly as sleazy as I myself expected them to be. Maybe I should...
Post lesenThe year draws to a close while I keep adding to the pile. Current status is 345 lyrics plus yet another rewrite. Last one: "Beco", written for Hot Mama and matching their music. "In the morning I'll have had you" is a title I'm pondering at the moment...
