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 think I'll make the intertwined part were 'she' and 'he' are singing alternately the prechorus. It now reads:
He: whatever happens
She: I could not stand it
He: I must not lose her
She: if it ended
He: whatever happens
She: with full zest
He: I will be true
She: I'll give my best
I checked my Rhyming dictionary for words that would rhyme with "best". The lines first read:
our love is blessed
I'll give my best
But I don't care much for blessings ;-) There's enough schmaltz in it already without religious connotations.
I also refined the chorus:
what we're having
is so special [or precious - I'm not sure which to prefer]
what we're having
can't be explained [replacing "quite unexplained"]
what we're having
is pure magic [instead of "is like magic"]
what we're having
must be retained
Next I will write two verses, one for him, one for her. I'm imagining a structure like:
verse (he or she)
verse (she - the other one)
prechorus (see above)
chorus
verse (either each singing half of it or both singing)
prechorus
chorus
[instrumental interlude or bridge, I'd prefer an instrumental part because the text, as it stands at this time, doesn't seem to leave too much room for adding another perspective]
