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...
I had to listen to Karsten's Midi file about one hundred times to get the intonation right (well, maybe I only listened 10 or 20 times). The stresses in certain lines of text just would not match. In the end I managed to stick to my original ideas by...
Post lesenHere's another text I've written for Karsten. It matches the syllable count but I haven't checked the intonation yet. I may have to rewrite parts of it. The structure of the song is: Verse Chorus Verse Chorus Bridge Chorus Chorus Verse I still don't know...
Post lesena blog is for the latest news. If you're interested in the results, i.e. the completed lyrics, here are a few links: my lyrics pages the latest additions my playlist, the same as on my MySpace site (which also contains quite a few links to Blues / Blues...
Post lesenTime for a little celebration! It's Easter and this is my 100st (!) song text: brother were have you been spending all the time just one word from you would have removed the grime that had formed layers upon my sense of recognition brother it is time...
Post lesenNormally I have difficulty writing for very young musicians. There lives simply differ quite too much from mine. Well, my lyrics for Karsten's song "18" have gotten a bit too young, I'm afraid. We might have to name it "16" instead: the party is in full...

Post lesenI've been busy rhyming. The structure of the song will become verse-verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus. Here are my verses (the bridge is still missing). Here and there the intonation is a little off, but that should be acceptable - it's a fun song...
Post lesenTwo and a half weeks ago a 17 year old gunman killed 15 in a shooting spree in Winnenden/Germany. Surrounded by the police he later also killed himself. There were rumours that he had announced the killing spree on an internet board. The announcement...
Post lesen"18" is another of Karsten's songs. Since the melody varies quite largely, and the last part seems to me to represent the idea best, I've startet working on it back to front. Karsten's working title refers to the time of coming of age, when you're are...
Post lesenWhile I was racking my brain to come up with ideas for Karsten's coming-of-age song the following text came to my mind: well, it's okay if you've fallen in love fallen in love with me but any tie of endurance write off I'm not that kind of guy, you see...
