Hi guys,
This is only my second post, but I want to jump in with both feet really, so here I am, hoping for some advice. This may not be the right bit of the forum actually, in which case, apologies to the mods.
I've written lyrics since I could hold a pencil, give or take a few years, but lacked the vision, skills, whatever, to do anything with them.
Out of the blue, a friend's partner recorded some tunes a while back and I went along to a bash to celebrate the recording, launching their CD etc. and found myself chatting with a nice guy. We were talking about stuff, but somewhere along the line it transpired that he is a bit of a name in the music business.
He owns a studio, makes the music and promotes new bands etc. as well as sorting out new material for them. He had been working with a lyricist on a long-term basis, but they'd parted ways at Christmas (amicably) and he'd been half heartedly casting around for some new lyrics. The upshot is that we're going to see if we make a good fit.
I'm excited, but suddenly worried that these words i've been making all this time aren't any good. That's natural, right?
I'll post a few lyrics to get your feedback, but has anyone gone into a collaboration like this? Is it a good way 'in'? Any thoughts?
Anything you've got will help, so thanks in advance.
