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...
The question mark indicates that I'm not yet quite happy with what I had put down as a chorus the other day: so don't give me no crap size matters and that is that size matters let it show so you can see it make it grow so you can feel it size matters...
Post lesenI think I'll make "size matters" one of my famous - or is it infamous? - 'episodical' lyrics. That would mean that the verses tell separate stories that only have one thing in common, which is dealing with size. One verse could be about a dwarf and his...
Post lesenI've written the verses. BUT: yet again I walked into the trap of using the same meter for all parts of the song. Preferably, the meters should differ between verse and chorus (and pre-chorus). Yet once I am in writing mode everthing I'm writing tends...
Post lesenI 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...
Post lesenThe title "size matters" has resided in my mind since quite some time. All I know by now is what it will NOT deal with ;-)
Post lesenMarian suggested that I write a duet because his band, Melon Gallery, has both a female and a male singer (himself). I had an idea this evening and began taking notes. This is what I have gathered so far: He: whatever happens She: I could not stand it...
Post lesenThe term "dripping pan" sprang to my mind as an association to the expression "I'll roast you" and I simply stuck to it. I find it funny although it doesn't actually make much sense. Trying to come up with lines for the verses I spotted that the single...
Post lesenYet again, I have a backing track completed without the slightest idea as for the tune - I mean the vocal line - and the lyrics. The music doesn't sound aggressive, it's rather a modest steady rock sound, I'd say. Nonetheless, the words I seem to come...
Post lesenI swapped the verses giving the text some kind of chronological order: first the jealousy or grudge of competing women (Athena), then the men turning away from 'her' - or being turned to stone - as the result. Actually, Julia would like to keep the text...
Post lesenJulia actually had already written part of the text. Her original lyrics (verse and pre-chorus) read: cold faces made out of stone [my suggestion: have turned to stone] hundreds of hearts are trembling [my suggestion: still trembling] in deep silence,...
