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 are, not the song. I actually had a tune in mind when I wrote the chorus, and I had a different tune in mind when I wrote the verses. I don't think they'd go together at all. Never mind! The mood is quite similar to "diggin' deep", and...
Post lesenJust a sketch at the moment, might become the chorus: I need to spill blood rub your face in the mud won't give a shit 'bout your pleading dance with glee while your bleeding when you see how it feels to be grievously hurt
Post lesenI had brought a dummy text with me so I could work on the lyric during my vacation. But, as I have mentioned several times here before, matching text with tunes depends much more on matching its meter, i.e. its intonation or the stresses, than on matching...
Post lesen... could become the next title - or maybe not, since there already exists at least one identical title. Maybe I'll use it only as a template for writing the chorus of the next of Alex' songs I'm working on: we have fun dancing in the rain we get wet...

Post lesenNormally, I would have a tune in mind, find matching words - usually for what would later become the chorus, put down the words, and with a little luck even remember the tune when it comes to recording. This time I had a riff, completed the accompaniment...
Post lesenI had made a few more notes: beat the odds - possible rhyme: puzzled nods play by the rule Eventually I came up with this verse: you're never playing by the rule you love to make me look the fool you can be sweet, you can be cruel, and I just can't make...
Post lesenA complete verse that I wrote but discarded: you can't control the cards you're dealt love's a game with no safety belt you feel now what I have felt before I love you all the more I love the line "you feel now what I have felt before" although it doesn't...
Post lesenI had made notes during my business trip early this week trying to find matching words to my syllable counts for Alex' composition. Since I never take computers with me I had no chance to match my words with the actual music. A mp3 player would have been...
Post lesenI discarded: I'm no saint, but I'm a man ... There's no gaming reference in that one, so instead I wrote: I'm not sure which game you play but I love you anyway I'll buy you flowers now and then, though you don't honour what I do
