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...
Normally I write with a male voice in mind. This time I thought 'female' straight from the beginning ;-) I love you all CHORUS: (you can) blame me to cheat on you or call me a liar if you want maybe feel better if you do though you'd have gotten it all...
Post lesenI took neither a writing pad nor a pen with me on my vacation, and I never take a computer. Therefore, I couldn't put down any lyrical ideas, so all I brought back with me is an idea for a chorus: hold on to your prayers to your romantic dreams hold on...
Post lesensooner or later all things change sooner or later my time will come sooner or later we'll all succumb when our options are rearranged - sooner or later I checked out Rhymezone to find appropriate rhymes for "come" and "change", but in the end my good...

Post lesennothing much to life but living nothing much to gifts but giving nothing much to love but loving nothing much to me - but hey who cares A rough sketch for a chorus for a song that might be called "nothing much to life".
