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...
If you cannot (read or) write notes there is only one way to remember tunes that you're having in mind, record them. Usually whatever I produce music-like can be called (very very) rough demos at best. So what the hell is this? Well, a reminder anyway....
