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...
Warning: theses lyrics are politically/socially incorrect and meant to be! Don't read any further if you're sensitive ;-) My sketches for two verses: do you see the fat man tryin' to get through that door maybe we should pierce him to let out some air...
Post lesenComing back from my vacation I brought a second chorus with me that I had come up with when I spotted a T-shirt with that particular line printed on: dare to dream your dreams belong to you dare to dream most dreams may not come true (yet) dare to dream...
Post lesenThis is the chorus that I brought back from my vacation (with exception of the last line that I added a minute ago): ugly people are an offence to the eye ugly people they could make you cry ugly people I keep wondering why do there have to be uh, quite...
Post lesenDuring a bicycle tour I came up with a chorus for "ugly people", a politically - or rather socially - very incorrect text. I repeated it in my mind until we reached our guesthouse. Once there, I also added sketches for two verses The chorus for "dare...
Post lesenMy backing track provided for another verse. So I added another: nothing special 'bout him that could turn you on you just have to decide whose side you're on [that's the title I'm taking about] No problem! Somehow I do love writing this no-nonsense-plain-rock...
Post lesenI'd written the chorus during a break at work: is it me or him? are you right or wrong? you got to decide whose side you're on is it now or then? do not wait too long! you got to decide whose side you're on Over the last three days I have prepared a backing...
Post lesenI've written songs and lyrics since eleven years. My very first song was "Spring". To date there are 76 songs, and 261 lyrics by myself. As I'm not exactly a musician, let alone a composer, it is much more exciting to state how many lyrics have been set...
Post lesenHere's the story before: ever and ever - done? Then the rejection :-( ever and ever - rejected Then my newly gained freedom (of musical restrictions) and helpful hints from songwriting colleagues (thank you, Robert and Fran!). In the end a beautiful romantic...
Post lesenI've altered the chorus of "ever and ever" that I'll rename either "together forever" or "now and forever" or "I'm ready" (the latter two are suggestions by Robert): I’m ready to say the words "I love you - now and forever" I’m ready to take the oath...
Post lesenWell, the words "ever and ever" may actually remain, maybe also the title, but as for the rest... So there's another 'free' lyric, I mean a lyric that's not been set to music. I'll use it as a 'template' for my next try ;-) Did the same for Kai H.: two...
