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...
My wife was in a bad temper this morning. Maybe it was because I had babbled something, lets say , rather unrefined ;-) On the commuter train I came up with the idea writing a song with the title "mean streak". I just put down its chorus: she's got a...
Post lesenComments on "who is I" (cool hook line, isn't it?): I love these spare, meaningful lyrics that milk a lot of meaning out of a few words. hardtwistmusic really enjoyed reading this good example of less is more Tony love the word marooned!! good write,...
Post lesenI've actually begun tackling my self-imposed mammoth task, compiling, sifting, and editing all lyrics that I've written so far. There are 337 of those. After having already published three collections that may not seem too effortful to do as I'd 'only'...

Post lesen... will be the title of my next lyrics. I wrote them during my vacation. I may want to rewrite the bridge. Will post the current version tomorrow. Stay tuned ;-)

Post lesen... is the next project I'm working on. I'm writing lyrics to match music by Hot Mama from Freiberg near Dresden (check them out - it's sure worth it). The first part had to be matched with the tune, writing the middle part was similar to writing to match...
Post lesenthat is: compiling, correcting, editing, maybe even rewriting a few of the 333 lyrics that I've written so far. Some will be replaced with rewrites that I've written over the time. A few - the most crappy ones - might be replaced altogether, or - in other...
