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...
It's not as bad as it might have been... I checked (re-checked actually) all my lyrics for possible "if versus when" errors, typical errors Germans make when speaking or writing English. I'm German, I'm no exception. In the end I modified three lyrics:...
Post lesenmight need a little 'tweak' here and there, but basically it's done: conflicting chiefs and groups fight for superiority there is no lenience towards alleged enemies marauding gangs create a climate of anxiety there is no hope left for decorum and propriety...
Post lesenMixing up the words "if" and "when" is a typical German mistake when speaking or writing English.Both translate to the German word "wenn". "if" can also mean "falls", and "when" can also mean "als". But when(!) you have the German word "wenn" it can be...
Post lesenJust an entry in my 'scrap book', for the time being: the battle's won, the war is lost our country's devastated ruined are all prospects for our future generations there is no comfort there's no justification too many lives has it cost - the havoc we...

Post lesenLunch-time lyrics, yet again. Put down darn quickly, yet quite good anyway - quality has nothing to do with the time one spends on things. You could tell that I'm proud of them. And their not nearly as sleazy as I myself expected them to be. Maybe I should...
Post lesenThe year draws to a close while I keep adding to the pile. Current status is 345 lyrics plus yet another rewrite. Last one: "Beco", written for Hot Mama and matching their music. "In the morning I'll have had you" is a title I'm pondering at the moment...
Post lesenI had posted "Beco" on several discussion boards. Although there were very few reactions, there was one particular remark that helped me improve the chorus. risks are taken all limits broken breaking loose tires lose their grip a wall is hit this is bad...
Post lesenI love the title! Don't ask how I came up with this one... I wavered for a while if it should be "vigorously" or "furiously", deciding on the latter. I had already written about a nymphomaniac - "I love you all", I'm writing about infidel men all the...
