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...
... by Daniel. He asked to keep our collaboration a secret. Well, what can be more secret than an public blog? Just asking!
First step:
listen to his tune several times (here Midi trumpets stand for the vocal parts) trying to figure out which parts are verses and which are choruses, next putting down their respective starting and end times so I won't have to listen to the whole lot each time I'm woking on a particular part.
While I was doing this I tried to get the spirit of the song, if it is romantic, or moody, or whatever, so I might come up with ideas what the lyrics might be about. It's a light pop song, by the way, no heavy relationship crisis or so. Unfortunately, I find the easygoing stuff the hardest to write. Well, time will tell. I've got the whole weekend ;-)
