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...
While I was working on my backing tracks - basically just assembling the different guitar parts - I wrote lyrics as well during a break. Quick ones, that I called "Fury on the warpath". By the way, I have the impression that my spontaneous lyrics are...
Post lesenNo, not really... Three backing tracks are in the making. 2014-05 (composition #5 this year) I completed yesterday, including a solo. It's the first time I play slide guitar - I had bought a slide (also called bottleneck) the other day - and open G tuning...
Post lesen"Misfit" - not "no reason". "Misfit" lifts the mist of obscurity a little but the text remains vague enough (I love vague): WHAT exactly is wrong with 'you' remains unclear. you tried to talk you tried to explain but all your efforts were always in vain...
Post lesen... or writing, come to think of it? Do you have to serve the meaning of your lyrics on a plate? Don't think so. Most certainly not, if you're not even sure yourself ;-) I wrote two verses and a bridge around an entry in my scrap book today. It's not...

Post lesenTwo suggs - but I'm not quite happy yet: LIFT: strong winds start blowing from the sea [adds next to nothing] black clouds are looming _ [a syllable is missing at the end; might work, though] OR: heavy waves that hit the shore [a syllable - upbeat - is...
Post lesenIn the part that I called 'chorus' before there is a distinct increase of tension over the first two lines. That's why I consider this short part a 'lift' now. It brought up the image of a gathering storm so I came up with these lines for the chorus:...
Post lesenI received this musical - what shall we call it - draft... The sound is sooo ugly. Scratching Midi-noise with Sonja singing and squeaking "la la la - lalalala - la"... Although Hot Mama have an idea as to what the song might be about they didn't tell...
