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...
There seems to be nothing more to the myth of Phoenix than that it rises from the ashes to live again, so I made it Simorgh again, the Persian equivalent to Phoenix. Simorgh provides more content to write about. How I went about the song so far is difficult...
Post lesenI've recorded "giants fall" and posted it as well on UBW (streaming audio) as on SoundClick (Frontpage). It has made it up to position 2 on the UBW "classic rock" charts and even pulled up "terminal disease" again with it as well (the clicks on "giants...
Post lesenI've begun writing for a Persian artist, trying to transform one of his songs to English. It's about Phoenix, the one who rises from the ashes, i.e. mythological stuff with political implications, maybe a bit similar to my own "Spartacus". I've put all...
Post lesenI don't remember how often I've edited and re-edited a particular line in "close your eyes". The song is about four years old, if I remember correctly. Only recently I decided to give it another go and try to record it yet again, maybe simplify the guitar...

Post lesenI believe that "Ganymede" is one of my best pieces, together with "Spartacus". It has recently crawled up the SoundClick Acoustic Folk charts to position 38. And it's got a kind review into the bargain: Listened to Ganymede - thought it was an intriguing...
Post lesen... for everyone. Wasn't that what Andy Warhol expected or demanded? Well, my "terminal disease" headed the "classic rock" charts of the unsigned band web (UBW) for ten months last year. Then the situation was back to normal and it vanished from the charts...
Post lesenThe "official" version is on my lyrics server in the section for the latest updates (from where it will be moved away eventually): Bernd's lyrics: latest additions I've chosen this version of the chorus: the sound of nations the world's creations the...
