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...
After "Spartacus" and "Europa" my next historic or rather mythologic project shall be "Ganymede". Yet again it's Zeus falling in love with a beautiful human being, but this time it's a boy. Other than with "Europa" this time I was having a tune in my...
Post lesen... only two hours after my last post I've come up with a viable solution, at least I hope so. I'd come across the English pronunciation of "Zeus" which fortunately rhymes with "youth" - not a perfect rhyme, but a rhyme nonetheless. So, with a little...
Post lesenEuropa when you will have come into years and you'll have reached quite different spheres you'll still look beautiful and young and you will speak in many tongues while men enjoy your subtle charm the God's preventing you from harm My discarded first...
Post lesenAfter listening to the song today I have altered part "A". Although the numbers of syllables seemed to fit at first glance my lyric did not match the meter of the tune, i.e. number of syllables AND their intonation. As I had suspected part "E" did not...
Post lesenThis was my first approach: loving again A: I was witness to your hardship, to your sorrow there was nothing that I could do - or say that would open your eyes B: tonight for the first time, you are happy for the first time, you feel loved C: I've always...

Post lesenI've come up with a chorus (or verse type B of my former post): I am feeling churned up I'm feeling turned on I feel like a tiger in a cage I am feeling churned up I'm feeling turned on I waver between love and rage As for the verses I am thinking along...
Post lesenThis is a first: I've had no idea for the chorus yet, and I've had no tune in my mind. Normally, I'd begin with the chorus and a tune. Instead, this time I wrote the verses down in the correct sequence right away. And I didn't have to do any re-arranging...
Post lesenHolger seems to be in a creative phase. Must be the new, much acclaimed drummer. The song he sent the other day has become "torn down". The new one has a similarly uncommon structure, no real chorus as far as I can see - or rather hear. I put down the...
