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...
... the lyrics, not the song. The nasty MIDI parts are still pending. And of course I'll have to sing it - I hope I'll remember the tune that I had in mind while putting down the words. This is the bridge: with you I feel safe threats and dangers far...
Post lesenThe chorus (it's always a good idea to begin with the chrous since its the most important part in a song): you are the light you shine so bright with all your warmth and might That sounds a bit like a religious song - nothing wrong with that, actually....
