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...
More suggestions, another re-write. It's verse 1 this time: my freedom ends at your factory door the next few hours are yours for sure you are in power - I do my job I work real hard, but you're not (my) God The word "my" is optional as it could muddle...
Post lesenFollowing more hints and suggestions from forums I've rewritten verse 2 yet again: you pay the wage, you call the tune I’m a resource that you consume while that holds true for working hours at quitting time you lose your power I also intend to scrap...
Post lesenCraig made a suggestion to improve the chorus. Gary applied 'tweaks' to the second verse: Verse 2: you pay the wage, you're in the driver's seat I’m the resource that you deplete ['resource' is the correct term here] yet that’s restricted to the working...
Post lesenI've not worked on the coutry jargon yet - I'll probably need some assistence here, but I've extended the chorus and written an additional verse and pre-chorus. I also rearranged the verses to obtain a sensible sequence: I won't give in VERSE my freedom...
Post lesenCraig took an interest in "I won't give in" but he needs it longer, and he wants to give it a 'country flavour'. This is what Craig writes: ... Change some of the words to make it cater more to a country audience Make the chorus twice as long Write a...
Post lesenhave just been published on the Internet Archive. This is the link: Bernd's second hundred lyrics The file even includes one song text that I have not yet published on my lyrics pages (but will very shortly). Thus, in spite of the title, the compilation...
Post lesen(the other) Bernd has taken a liking to the lyrics that I called "a place to live". As he doesn't seem to care much for its chorus he changed the title to "nobody cares". There was too much pathos in the chorus, I guess: trying to catch a healthy dream...
Post lesenWhile compiling "Bernd's second hundred lyrics" - actually not just 100 but 104 additional lyrics - I keep discovering lyrics I wrote just for the fun of it but never again followed up in any way. Just a moment ago I stumbled over "I won't give in", for...
Post lesenI think my ideas from yesterday actually could work out nicely, i.e. scrapping the 'patriot line' and repeating the first verse at the end of the song. "Knight Templar" then would look like this: I'm the Knight Templar fighting for the good cause I'll...
Post lesenThe term 'assault gun' would have been quite wrong, 'assault rifle' would have been the correct one. I used neither. This is the third - and probably last - verse: I've outlined all our actions to further our cause I don't fear their reactions I don't...
