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...

All 'em motor planets so far

There are 35 lyrics that I've written for MotorPlanet to date. Enough, I'd say, to publish them in a little collection. I've added one text that I've written with MotorPlanet in mind that has not been set to music yet, so it makes three dozen lyrics altogether....

Five new motor planets

Five new motor planets

Five new MotorPlanet songs are in the pipeline. I've already heard them on a private party although they still lacked a proper text - that is supposed to be written by me. You can watch me working on them right here

Just FYI: I've recorded 'complicated'

Ray had already written and recorded a folk tune, now I've recorded a quite different tune myself. You'll find it if you look for it ;-)

a simple bridge for "complicated"

girl, you see me in despair you speak in tongues, you are so learned girl, I think it is not fair I'm helpless, yet you're unconcerned Well, it's not the most sophisticated one as bridges come as it does not add a new aspect or provides some interesting...

complicated

A quick one. I found "clime" (for region) in my Penguin Rhyming Dictionary and had to look it up. And I scrapped the line "'bout how much it would pay to wait" because I got doubts if it would be interpreted like I meant it to (act as waiter/waitress)....
