All my lyrics
In case you've been wondering where all my lyrics go once they've sort of passed through the blog, well, they're all there on my lyrics pages. And every once in a while I produce a PDF with a whole...
Ganymede (completed)
The bridge I posted yesterday was crap. It more or less simply repeated what the chorus already contained. I've replaced it with a version that actually does my original intention justice as it...

I altered the second verse which I was not happy with, added a third verse, and added a part that shall serve as a kind of bridge or interlude. KJ told me that the song will be recorded with a...
A song for kj
KJ (Karl-Jürgen) has produced quite a few pieces of music, some of them I will set to words in the next time (do you say "set to words"? I know it's "set to music" when you create music based on...
