    Writing lyrics, driving a nyc taxi, graveyard shift, yes I am a vampire!!! I have had hundreds of jobs, some rather comedic: I was a life guard who couldn't swim, a parking attendant who couldn't drive and a foreign language instructor who only spoke english. I've been published off and on since I was eight years old, won numerous writing contests; never had any formal writing classes, but have taught myself numerous continuity tricks. Easy flow for me is the most important aspect of lyric writing and it has nothing to do with counting syllables or meter...at least for me. Combining hard sounds, soft sounds, like sounding sounds, and making sure a singer has open vowels in the chorus, are few methologies I use. About rhyming, I like when possible to rhyme multi syllable words with a series of words ie: line ends in "explanatory" rhyming line could be "now that's my ex's story" incorporating all the sounds of explanatory, and helping the flow...!

  1. I'm not a musician but I've had around 150 collabs since 1999, none of them bad, about 100 are very very good, and 17 of them are among the bests songs I've ever heard anywhere!!! I written over 3500 lyrics, now some of them are trash, but in the last three years or so I'd say most of them work pretty well, a couple of dozen or so are classics!!! Obviously I have a large backload of lonely lyrics, to wit I've been branching out more with my collabs, most run smoothly; my basic criteria is overtly anal musicians need not apply...
