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...
As I have written before, intonation is more important than the syllable count when you try to write lyrics that are supposed to match an existing tune. After listening to Sandro's tune several times I adjusted the text, and also gave hints how the melody...
Post lesenThese lyrics are supposed to match a tune by Sandro. I'm not quite sure if they really fit. I'm not sure about the title either: I'm a tough guy, I'm a hero in front of my screen reduce all fiends to zero while remaining unseen my joystick and my keyboard...

Post lesenOnly after recording and assembling "listen to the river (Siddhartha)" I got the impression that I'd heard something similar before. Well, the humming reminded me of the first part of "In Held 'twas in I", "Glimpses of Nirvana", by Procol Harum. Actually...
