While the radio keeps playing

Real-life moment: I'm at a local radiostation, that only plays dancemusic. With "Apologize" remixed in the background. Strange.

But, the reality is - I have not that much to do. So why not write?

I've been looking into posting audio here, still haven't quite figured it out. Hopefully it will come. What's a blog about music with no music, really?

I've been contemplating this whole lyrics-thing today. What lyrics-thing you might ask yourself? Well.. I have this tendency of coming up with one hook, one part of a song (usually something fore the ending). And that part works, I can feel it work. But then, putting it together, making a whole.. Tricky.

But what's really tricky is this - it's the same thing with lyrics. One part can fall magicaly into place and the rest... well the rest... I guess it has to be chisled out. Since english is not my native tounge - but phrasings are more fun to play around with in english - it's easy to use the same words over and over. The same lame word. Easy rhymes for children. I believe, in you and me, what we will be, is not easy to see. You see?

And while all those fantastic words of the english vocabulary pops up from time to time in my mind it is rarely infront of the piano. My mind wanders while riding buses. But when push comes to show and a paper appears, wanting words to be written on it.. Oh my. Shutdown.

But I guess, as long as we don't reach brakedown.

Where was I going with this post? Yes! Lyrics! I find it hard to compose a "moving" (as in emotionally) start to a song. The end is always sweeter than the beginning. But it's the first few seconds that has to lure a person to listen to the whole thing. Otherwise, the ending is just a bitter, grunting old-maid that will never be heard. And that would be sad, wouldn't it?
