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'm not happy with its lyrics. There's no logic in them, and particular lines sound clumsy with cumbersome rhymes. Therefore, I'm shifting, replacing, and swapping lines of text. Since I won't sing the song before friday I've got plenty of time.
... the result: the song on SoundClick Have a nice weekend - great weather hereabouts :-) Bernd
I'm not quite happy with the bass track, but whatever... I've completed the accompanying tracks so I can (try to) sing the song tomorrow. Maybe I'll go over the bass track later.
Never trust 'em girls - or Craig Pavone ;-) "Emily" fits his tune better, so Craig's version of "Rachel" will be named "Emily". My own "Rachel" will remain true to me of course, since I've already done her ;-)
After a phase of dormancy both "Spartacus" and "Ganymede" have re-emerged on the UBW Folk Charts They may have vanished again by the time you click the link - just telling.
It must be 'do' in the bridge instead of 'did': did I have to lose you to realise how much you meant to me? DO I have to get blind before I can begin to learn to see?
a second verse: a classy lady left the bar she was kerky like a star maybe she was slightly drunk leaning 'gainst my Porsche's trunk she offered to give me a kiss I sensed a smell and thought "what's this" I got "trunk" from RhymeZone, the "Porsche" sort...
A minor edit: ... "where your wife might be in hiding" instead of ... "where your wife might have fled and be hiding" In my mind I can still make it match the meter, so it should work in a song as well.
The bridge had gotten too serious. How about this one: a crow as a messenger from the beyond makes you look stupid, makes you feel conned you thought you were cunning, but now you look dumb bein' given the finger by a dead man's thumb
When searching for lyrics that might fit in one of my current musical projects I came across "stopped wanting you wanting me" and found that the tenses were pretty messed up. If you should have come across that title - like in the 2009/2010 lyrics compilation...
Two alternatives for the chorus to add a rhyme: the sound of nations the world's creations the sound of peoples (there) for you or: the sound of nations the sound of peoples the world's creations (there) for you
Nothing much of a bridge, actually, yet rather effective - I hope - to cast a new light upon my nasty lyric: I feel ugly when you don't love me I feel ugly when I'm alone ... done!
My backing track provided for another verse. So I added another: nothing special 'bout him that could turn you on you just have to decide whose side you're on [that's the title I'm taking about] No problem! Somehow I do love writing this no-nonsense-plain-rock...
I'm lazy, hence I just cross-link to a post on Songwriter101
... will be the title for the lyrics I called "repulsion" lacking a proper title. Duane, a fellow songwriter, suggested it.
As for "blood rain" there were only these two words, this time it's a whole line that maybe sometime will be expanded into a full-blown song. The line goes: "you've got too much of what I miss most". For the time being I put it in the scrap book...
My first version of the chorus would be more suitable for a female singer than a man, so I wrote an alternative 'male' version: I'm ready to say the words "I love you - ever and ever" I'm ready to take the oath "I'll be true - ever and ever" a love to...
did I have to lose you to realise how much you meant to me? did I have to get blind before I can begin to learn to see? That bridge could actually fit into millions of songs. I may use it for "secret door".
once he left his home to make his luck pursuing his dream of making a quick buck once he was a young man full of hope now he's sold his future for some dope ... or as an alternative last line: now he's stumbling on a downhill slope
Yeah, what use are they anyway? Just kidding. I had posted a few words about this before: another riff, another text Nothing great, but fun to do. It's on: SoundClick I've decided the genre to be 'garage rock' (there was no section for 'home office r...
There's just the chorus at the moment, but then, the chorus is the heart of a song, isn't it? she's taking to flight she's made her decision she left home at night she will follow her vision she's taking to flight
I've added a bridge after all - better this way, also makes things clearer: Tom is big Tim is short John is strong and you are slender Tom's romantic Tim is cool John is wild and you are tender - and I love you all
I've finished the MIDI parts on "you are the light", too, and I even still remember its tune, so I should be able to sing it next. I think I will be able to post it on SoundClick next Monday.
Just a sketch at the moment, might become the chorus: I need to spill blood rub your face in the mud won't give a shit 'bout your pleading dance with glee while your bleeding when you see how it feels to be grievously hurt
I re-wrote the 3rd verse to make it a bridge: have you heard about the man who had a heart attack spent all his life pursuin' his career as of today he is thrown back to try again - or just persevere
