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...
Normally, I would have a tune in mind, find matching words - usually for what would later become the chorus, put down the words, and with a little luck even remember the tune when it comes to recording. This time I had a riff, completed the accompaniment so I could sort of jam with myself, even completed the solo - as good as I can do it, which is not very good, but I had not a single word. There's not even a viable song structure to speek of. Whatever... Today I tried to find matching words. I'm not sure if or how they may fit since there is no tune yet. And I'm not sure if I'll ever record the song.These are its words:
gonna do it my way
you can bet I've read the sign
now I'm gonna draw the line
it's not defeat if I resign
you can be sure I will be fine
Hey, hey
I'm gonna do it my way
I don't live for
others holding me down
treating me like a clown
Hey, hey
I'm gonna do it my way
I'm gonna do it my way
I'll take chances, I'll take risks
I'll move on, I will be brisk
I'm leaving nothing that I'll miss
ahead of me's a life of bliss
Hey, hey
I'm gonna do it my way
I don't live for
others reaping my fruit
I'll follow my own pursuit
Hey, hey
I'm gonna do it my way
I'm gonna do it my way
