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...
I'm writing for two young ladies at the moment, Katharina and Yasmin, both with a decidedly commercial focus. The outcome is undecided, of course: will they accept or reject my lyrics, will they eventually produce the songs, will the songs be published?...
Post lesenThe stuff that I write myself comes with a 'creative commons licence'. That means, I give it away for free as long as it is not used commercially. At the moment, I am co-writing lyrics with Sonya from Hot Mama. At the same time I'm writing for a professional...
Post lesenSome people hits it lucky. I'm one of those :-) I had prepared two backing tracks that still lacked a vocal line as well as lyrics. A few moments ago I completed the lyrics for one of the tracks. This is the chorus: I still can't believe my luck that...
Post lesenJust another 'quick one' with a rather obvious word play: we reach the peak - we've come together At the end I even make it "we're coming together", should someone have missed the clue... Maybe it's not the peak of my lyrics writing, but I'm happy with...

Post lesenI rewrote the lot and it differs a lot, maybe I can use parts of the planned nonsense-lyrics in some other context. You can find the complete lyrics on my home page. "Diogenes" begins: I live in a barrel prefer the simple life your corrupt society's no...
Post lesenI put down some lines of text the other day with the intention of writing some nonsense song, a funny and weird song that would be open for different interpretations - or none at all. The memory of "I am the walrus" popped up somewhere in the back of...
Post lesenI'll make the laconic verse - "a cleaner wipes the kitchen clean..." - the last one, serving as an outro, and insert an additional verse: years of anger under lids burst in a killing spree staying together for the kids who are the casualties And, since...
