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...
While working on the bass and drum tracks for "8A" I discovered that I will need an additional verse. The original version of "spill blood" had only three verses whereas "8A" requires four. This is what I wrote: girl you hurt me and you drive me bonkers...
Post lesenThere was the riff and sound track that I had named "8B", so obviously somewhere there has been a track "8A" as well. Today I've completed its guitar parts, next bass and drums will follow, sometime later I'll add the vocals. Somehow this weird order...
Post lesen- "seize the day". That's my life's credo. And it shines through, in one way or the other, in quite a few song lyrics I've written. At the moment I am compiling a song or lyrics collection that will be dedicated to this subject. I also intend to add comments...

Post lesenAfter listening to Ludmila's recording of "ultramarine" a couple more times I found that it actually sounds very French. It wouldn't sound half as good with English lyrics. There is music that sounds better with French words than with English, like Chansons,...
Post lesenMore feedback in the manner "country must be conversational", so here are my suggestions trying to reduce educated lingo: LIFT: you may think you can dictate to me you may think you can lay down the law you base your views on what's best for you but your...
Post lesenA Russian(?) singer (her name is Ludmilla, might be Russian) has sent me five audio files with her own songs. It's up to me which one I'd like to set to lyrics (can you say that? You say "lyrics are set to music", but is music set to lyrics?), if at all...
