Lyrics in Progress

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...

let's rough him up

... will be the new title of the former "let's bully him". Someone told me that the term "bully" refers to schoolyard thugs, not to older ones, so my lyrics, namely the verses, did not fit. I'm not that sure, since the dictionaries seem to define it differently....

refining "off-season" and "let's bully him", working on "Beco"

There were several helpful comments on "off-season" and "let's bully him". I was never content with the latter because no bully would ever express it that way. I will probably rename that text "let's rough him up" - and also avoid the line that directly...

Ethan the second - or lines full of bullshit

The second tune by Ethan that I will set to words. Can one say it this way - to set music to words? Anyway, I analysed the structure first, it goes: (a very, very short) Intro - Verse - Part 1- Verse - Part 2 First I thought, there would be a chorus,...

Beco - III

I may have to rewrite most of what I've written so far. It depends on how my lines of text work together with the music - that I haven't heard so far. I had only Stasy's first draft that I used as template. Nevertheless, I wrote a few more lines that...

Beco - II

This is what I have put down so far orientating myself by Stasy's draft. The two verses (?) should be fine. As for the longer part I don't know. Stasy also had a kind of outro dealing with Beco's death. Go! the green flag is up nerves of steel will win...
