I have been writing for 22 years. I am primarily a lyricist, as opposed to a song writer (as I am not a musician or vocalist). However, when I write, each set of lyrics are married to a melody tumbling around in my head. For me, the lyrics and the music are both needed to tell the whole story or give the emotional release intended.
I typically write about my personal experiences, good or bad - and the experiences of those who have touched my lives. I appreciate each person that has given me the privilege to hear their stories, and if even for a few moments - be a part of their lives. Before the door even closed you inspired the lyrics and melodies that produced my work.
Music heals. Sometimes we have to sing about things that can’t be said. Having fulfilled their intended purpose for my healing (or in some cases my amusement), I would love to see what musicians and vocalists can do with them.
