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 was contacted by producers who specialize in dance and party music. Although I've always found it exceptionally difficult to write easygoing stuff I've put down four party lyrics since yesterday (which actually means within two or three hours). The best title and hook is probably "party junkie", the best text is "here's to" (yes, just like this, without object).
party junkie
I wanna pa, pa, pa, pa party
'cos I'm a party junkie
I luv to pa, pa, pa, pa party
I'm crazy, and I am funky
wanna dance? come on, let's dance
want romance? then take the chance
want some love, my little dove?
need a shove? don't write if off
I wanna pa, pa, pa, pa party
'cos I'm a party junkie
I luv to pa, pa, pa, pa party
I'm crazy, and I am funky
friends to meet, what a treat
hear the beat, move your feet
come in drag, sit up and beg
wave your flag, shake your leg
I wanna pa, pa, pa, pa party
'cos I'm a party junkie
I luv to pa, pa, pa, pa party
I'm crazy, and I am funky
***
the chorus of "here's to":
here's to the future, here's to the past
here's to all things that vanish or last
here's to yesterday's dreams
here's to today's fooleries
here's to the times that will come and will go
come on, join the party as your life flows
Maybe I've been wrong about myself all the time? Writing all that heavy stuff when I should have been writing "I wanna pa, pa, pa, pa party"?
Cheers! Have fun at your weekend parties!

PS: ... and maybe I should have waited with publishing my lyrics collection so I would have had full 100 new lyrics. But I wouldn't have written "not quite" then ;-)
